Shazam Lite app patch

This is a patch for Shazam Lite app.

Features

• Disables region restriction.
  The app sends "in" (India) country code to the Shazam servers. The code for this feature was taken from a modification by blunden. All credits should go to him.
• Disables beacon requests.
  By default the app tries to send a lot of requests to https://beacon.shazam.com with some client info.
  These requests were logged and easy to find, but there might be other tracking.
• Allows to move the app to SD card.

The patch was tested on this APK.

How to use

• Unpack the original APK (with apktool).
• Apply patch:
  patch -d path/to/unpacked/files/ < /path/to/patch.patch
• Build a new APK (with apktool again).
  You might also need to align and sign the APK.
