This patches the current version of com.altice.meo.androidtv to work on devices other than the officially supported devices:

• Xiaomi Mi Box
• Nvidia Shield
• Official Meo Android TV Box

It should also allow it to run on rooted devices.

I have successfuly used this to get the app to work on a 2017 Sony Bravia running Android 8.

Disclaimer: Use at own risk and only if you are a paying MEO customer.

How to patch the APK:

1. Get the APK (from, eg. apktada)

2. Use apktool (2.4.1+) to decompress and decompile it:

apktool d com.alticelabs.meo.androidtv.com.apk

3. Patch using the included .patch file:

$ cd com.alticelabs.meo.androidtv.com $ patch -p1 < com.alticelabs.meo.androidtv.patch

4. Rebuild the APK using apktool:

$ apktool b -f -v com.alticelabs.meo.androidtv.com -o output.apk

5. Create a self signing key (you will need android studio sdk tools for this):

$ keytool -genkey -v -keystore my-release-key.jks -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000 -alias my-alias

6. Sign the APK:

$ jarsigner -verbose -sigalg SHA1withRSA -digestalg SHA1 -keystore my-release-key.jks output.apk my-alias

7. zipalign it (this part is actually important):

$ zipalign -p -v 4 output.apk output-zipalign.apk

8. Install the output-zipalign.apk on your device (via ADB) and enjoy.
