How to use spotify in tablet mode for added functionality like 12 seconds cross fade, gap-less playback, instant play and unlimited skips

So. My first blog post ever was about spotify and I thought I'd do a follow up on that. This post will teach you how to get rid of that shuffle play only restriction on your smartphone, as well as give you access to cross-fade and gap-less playback, which you can only get by being a premium subscriber.

Okay, to be able to use this guide, you need to be on the android platform and have a rooted phone. To root your phone, you can check for guides on google or xda. If you have a rooted phone with supersu installed, you are ready to perform this procedure so lets jump in.

First, you need to install xposed framework on your device. After installing, configure it by clicking framework, then install/update. Do a reboot and you have xposed framework all set up and ready to go. You can check out the downloads column of the app to find more awesome xposed apps but, that's for later.

For now, you need to download and install TabletMetrics 2.2. Go to the modules section of your xposed app, check the box next to the Tabletmetrics module then do a reboot. That should get you Tablet mode.
This xposed module tricks spotify into seeing your 4,5 or 6 inch smartphone as a tablet and it runs in tablet mode. The thing is, spotify for Tablets and PC have those precious features which smartphone users can only have access to if they are premium subscribers.
If you have successfully completed the steps, launch spotify and enjoy your new privileges.
