I've actually masked my Wizard as a Motorola V3xx with some very handy reg hacks and downloaded the trial version of it. The problem is that the jar and jad files are not installing in the Midlet Manager. If there is someone else that is more familiar with these files, feel free to PM me and I'll send you the files to take a look at. It's been far too long since I've looked at Java and I've never reverse compiled anything.

Edit: I've got the AT&T version. FYI :)

More Edit (sorry): the URL for the SWF player at pandora.com is https://www.pandora.com:443/radio/tuner_8_6_0_0_pandora.swf. If you have a SWF decompiler, I'm sure that you can look into a few more things.

i have the sprint files... how did you mask your phone? The files i have a supposedly for the v54, i might try to mask it if you could tell me how...

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Software Development] jug6ernaut:
i dont have anything i can offer in terms of support, but im sure there are ALOT of people who like to see this a reality
[Windows Mobile Software Development] bedwa:
you have to edit the registry values. first you have to find the UAProf for the phone that you want to change to. Second, replace the following URL with the one that you have for that phone.

Wizard UAProf (http://www.htcmms.com.tw/gen/wizard-2.0.xml)

Third, open the xml of the profile that you are switching to and there will be a browser section similar to the following from the Wizard's profile:

<rdf: Description rdf:ID="BrowserUA">

<rdf:type rdf:resource="http://www.openmobilealliance.org/tech/profiles/UAPROF/ccppschema-20021212#BrowserUA"/>

<prf:BrowserName>Microsoft Pocket Internet Explorer</prf:BrowserName>

<prf:BrowserVersion>4.0</prf:BrowserVersion>

<prf:HtmlVersion>4.01</prf:HtmlVersion>

<prf:XhtmlVersion>1.1</prf:XhtmlVersion>

<prf:FramesCapable>No</prf:FramesCapable>

<prf:PreferenceForFrames>No</prf:PreferenceForFrames>

<prf:TablesCapable>Yes</prf:TablesCapable>

You take the information from this section for the phone that you are switching to and replace the browser information with it. From there, when your phone reports to the provider's servers with your browser type & UAProf, it will display the home deck as if it was that phone.

Edit: with the masking, I have not yet had any more success, but I'm willing to keep trying if you guys are. :)

[Windows Mobile Software Development] bedwa:
Ugh.... head hurts. Will have to print out and read over and over to understand... That or jump in and do it.... This could take a while.......

Edit: after reading over it again, but alittle slower. It now makes sense. Thankfully I have till Wed off this week to figure this out. I'll let you guys know, and if anything else, If I get a playlist, I'll post it here so that you guys can take a look too.... That is if it isn't specifically for one of my stations only.

It seems that at the least we'll be able to listen. We may not be able to add our thumbs up and thumbs down, but we'll be able to listen. Thanks sosloe!

Edit2: I'm having no luck. It's a WMA stream, but WM on my computer does not make a playlist that is compatible with WMP on the phone. I'm going to have to find a player that will either recognize my playlist or my WMA stream.... I'm halfway there, cause I know that I can stream from my browser to Windows Media Player on my computer.... causes echoing, but I'm half way there. :) (would also be a good way for your friends that are outside of the US to listen to Pandora... They're subject to you're tuning/tastes, but hey... it's a positive, right?)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] itsallsubliminal:
yeah i've seen that pleanty of times, but i would really like a nice interface and control it just way i did my home PC

Challenge to talented decompilers out there:

I know this is probably not going to be easy, but since the Pandora streaming bitrate changes from one app to another, there MUST be a way to hack this particular app to use a higher bitrate.

I've communicated with Pandora staff (and received response from the very top of the foodchain) and it doesn't look like there'll be an app anytime soon that uses a higher bitrate since they are still convinced that carriers are the ones that are going to install the app, not end-users, and that their app only runs on certain devices (ha!).

thanks -

lunacie
[Windows Mobile Software Development] jimmydu3:
which versions have been found to have a higher bitrate? I know I've noticed different versions sounding more "tinny" with the lower bitrate, but 1.1.4 sounds pretty good right now.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] lunacie:
The apps for both iPhone & PRE use a significantly higher bitrate than the WM app. I don't believe this changes from one version of the WM app to the other, but could be mistaken. I'll try a newer version, perhaps things have improved and I was unaware.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] fceeviper:
Can someone please .cab up this change for me?

I suck it Reg Edit changes and I don't want to install Advance Config on my phone. :(

Pandora for Sprint HTC TOUCH PRO 2

Happy New Year Lunacie,

Is there a version of Pandora that has normal size font and album covers along with not cutting off the song right in the of the song. There are som many post and different cabs that wont work on th Sprint Touch Pro 2.

Have no clue how to edit software registries would you please post a version that would be fully functional along with the proper visuals? Please?

Anyone please, Pandora is Great but the version is just not working properly!!!:eek:

Sincere Appreciation In Advance!

Bigg Drum:)

[Windows Mobile Software Development] fceeviper:
So here's what has worked for me on my HTCPro2/Stock Rom/Sprint...

1. Uninstall any versions of Pandora you may have on your device first, also make sure you deleted the Pandora folder in your device via File Explorer.

2. Install this cab first: Pandora+VGA+IVAN1+SC

3. Then this Reg Fix cab: lunacieROM tcpWindow (thanks to lunacie)

4. Then complete a Soft Reset.

5. Rock on!

I hope this helps.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] lunacie:
Sounds like fceeviper has your back on this one - let me know if you were able to get it working.

cheers - lunacie
[Windows Mobile Software Development] RustyGrom:
I'm far from a 'talented decompiler' but I just looked into the app and took a packet capture and found some things...

It's sending a HTTP user agent of "Pandora-WindowsMobile-0.9" to the server. The initial request is just...

http://tuner.pandora.com/services/a...sion=1.0.25&vnumber=VERIZON_MOTOQ9C&type=full

to which they respond "HTTPPayloadLine: {"stat":"ok","result":{"upgradeRequired":false}}"

then a bunch of https traffic gets bounced around (can't see in it).

We then get a url for the graphic of the artist (just a jpg).

Then it starts the stream.

Here's an example of one such stream...

http://208.85.41.38/access/?version...MlLcuMmNvmAlYe8kwbwNPSDBQDsTOQCA0ZL266S4Z4w==

The stream we get back is a WMA stream

Windows Media Audio 9

32 kbps, 44 kHz, stereo 1-pass CBR

and there's your problem... 32kbps!!!!!!! ugh. I tried some basic flips of the "version" string but didn't work, no clue what valid options are.

Grabbing similar info from the browser player on a windows machine returns a URL like...

http://audio-sjl-t1-2.pandora.com/a...sZUF4X+O5lSlbKTklp3phZ2bHmnIGTsLvo8BLo26nA8s=

which is a 64kbps AAC stream.

So is WM even capable of playing the latter stream? not sure. But looking in the binary, I don't see a real easy way of just changing a 32 to a higher number to get a higher bitrate. Looks like the pandora server is deciding for us based on the client and I'm not sure how easy it would be to 'fake' a different client.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] IMME.27:
IT DOES

Pandora already works on wm s.ive had t on my touchpro 2 for atleast 3 months now,just goolge the pandora cab and install.it might show a message that it doesnt support but once u click ok it works..enjoy
[Windows Mobile Software Development] lunacie:
Wow, thanks for that look into the binary! It seems hopeful to me - if there's a way to ask for the 64kbps stream... I'm sure someone will figure it out. Pandora's not going to bother with us for quite some time, I'm sure ,so hopefully your work has inspired someone to play around with this.

How to shut down pandora on TP2?

This pandora works perfectly on my sprint TP2. My only problem is that I can't shut down the program other than soft reset. tapped upper right corner shows no program running??

Pandora on an HTC HD2

So is Pandora possible on an HTC HD2? Leo? Im using an unlocked one on AT&T.

I love my pandora!:(
[Windows Mobile Software Development] hoihtah:
I think until higher bitrate is available for winmo, pandora will always be a backup of a backup music source on my tp2.

to the programmers, thank you for your efforts and please keep developing it for us wm users.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] VinceT3:
Dude, that is some really good work.. if we could sniff the packets from the iphone (might have to try that with my wifes phone) I'm sure we could implement their calls via windows mobile.. put a prettier interface on it than the crap on pandora gave us.. at least finger friendly..

I'll have to install studio on my laptop and try some tests based on what you came up with.. maybe I can get something working..

EDIT: I have an app at work that should get me all the webcalls and the responses.. I should be able to get almost all if not all the requests needed..
[Windows Mobile Software Development] slickerxcuh:

User Agents

This looks promising, but I don't know what to do with it. I have a TMobile Dash 3G, but I don't know what other user agent to grab and how to implement. I currently have a Pandora CAB installed but am suffering from the low-quality stream issue that makes it unlistenable with headphones or through an AUX jack.

Thanks for any advice,

[Windows Mobile Software Development] cesierra:
anybody getting decent sound quality now?

what is the latest version? I am using version 1.1.10 QVGA
[Windows Mobile Software Development] gottahavit:
No the sound quality is terrible, I have pretty much made the switch to the new Slacker radio app for windows mobile. Much nicer cleaner app. MUCH better audio quality on WM. Not quite as flawless streaming, but works well when you have good data rate.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] jeffmcc:

[Windows Mobile Software Development] killerz298:
Is anyone still working on this? It seems as if all that needs to be done is trick the Pandora server into thinking our application is running on a device which would get the higher bitrate. I can't stand this horrible sound anymore.

[Windows Mobile Software Development] anumeric1122:
i'm on at&t with an unlimited plan. i know at&t has a subscription agreement with pandora, but i've read posts of at&t users who are using pandora without subscription. after reading through quite a few pages of this and other threads and trying quite a few different cab versions, ive had no such luck.

what is it that i need to to in order to use it without subscription on my samsung epix? delete reg keys? new pandora account? please help...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] SvB4EvA:

Anyone have a good Pandora app yet? with good quality and proper size txt, etc.. ? :D
[Windows Mobile Software Development] cesierra:
Theres no Pandora update for WM. Thats one of the reasons I went the Android route.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] jpinsl:
In order to get the TP2 install from Post 350 to install on my Samsung Omnia II (SCH-i920) I did two things I found here earlier:

1. Start in landscape mode

2. Use file explorer with the Swype keyboard open to launch Pandora.exe by pressing Enter.

Then the keyboard was available to enter login info and configure Pandora.

Works on the QVGA screen, but the font is about a 0.5 in size and you need reading glasses to use it effectively.

But it does work, so thanks to all!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] itsallsubliminal:
i am definitely gunna try this when i get a lil free time, but i keep reading that a pocket pc version is in the works by pandora. Anyone know how long its been in the "works"?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] sosloe:
Skyfire...

First off I just wana say skyfire works awsome... I just downloaded today and it really does view websites just like a normal PC... my opera never played youtube or embedded flash objects correctly but skyfire is fast and works perfectly. Skyfire even loads the actual Pandora interface on the website, but problem being I cant log in!! :( I guess cause it's a flash interface it doesnt give the SIP input option... anybody who's familiar with Skyfire know of a workaround... :confused:

-sosloe
[Windows Mobile Software Development] redbandana:
You can always try last.fm , which works fine with skyfire. I use it often.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] stpete111:
Pandora is a site known NOT to currently work with Skyfire for logging in. To follow the progress of it, go to the Skyfire forums, and then check the subforum called "Websites Not Working in Skyfire." The Pandora thread is stickied.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] sosloe:
Thanks, will do ;)

I tried Lastfm but I like Pandora better... thanks though :D
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Brent212:
Skyfire with last.fm would be a great option, but the audio shuts off when the screen turns off. This makes skyfire useless for many potential uses. There are a lot of internet radio stations out there that I'd like to listen to.

The ATT LG Incite (winmo 6.1 device) that relased today has pandora on it. I stopped in to buy one at the ATT store so I could do a rom dump or see if its a cab file. But they hadnt got the phone in stock at that store yet. So it seems Pandora is now running on WM. Wife wants an Incite so I may try other stores tomorrow and see if it can be pulled off it and put on my Fuze.

11. Don't get us all in trouble

Don't post copyrighted materials or do other things that will obviously lead to legal trouble. If you wouldn't do it on your own homepage, you probably don't want to do it here either. This does in no way mean we agree with everything Hollywood, the record companies and the software piracy lobby try to impose on us, it simply means you cannot break any laws here since otherwise we'll end up dealing with your legal hassle. Please use common sense: respect the forum, its users, and those that write great code.

PLease don't even mention these types of things on the forums

Isnt Shazam (the music id program) a copywrited program? Doesnt it require a paid subscription for its use on att also? It says it does on my Fuze when I read the help file in it. Yet I see cab files posted all over xda for that to use free. Explain the difference.

From Music id (shazams website):

Shazam Applications

You acknowledge that the Shazam Applications are the property of Shazam (and its suppliers). You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable (without the right to sublicense) license to use Shazam iD for the purpose of performing music recognitions and to use the Shazam Facebook Application on your Facebook profile.

You agree not to disassemble, de-compile, reverse engineer, or otherwise attempt to gain access to the source code of the Shazam Applications, except and only to the extent permitted by applicable law

You will not copy nor modify the Shazam Applications or make commercial use of, rent, lease, loan, sell, publish, license, sublicense, distribute, assign or otherwise transfer the Shazam Applications.

You will not alter, destroy, obscure, or otherwise remove any copyright or proprietary notices or labels on or embedded within any part of the Shazam Applications.

Shazam iD may only be downloaded to certain handsets. Click here for more information

Now it states it may not be be copied or distributed, or modified. yet there is a bunch of posts with attachements of it on xda's forums, there is even a post with a modded version for qvga. So explain why this is allowed , yet not a copy of pandora off the incite.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2828654&postcount=1

from reading that I see the following phases:

Converted for QVGA (320x240) support

Removed UID information from query strings

Removed all AT&T specific features

Again, explain the difference to at least me as to why this is ok, yet not the same for pandora.

Free for other makes of phones (java)

very good question...i would say ATT....but who knows...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Keland44:
yea that's sad that they cripple the pandora software by makin you pay for it after 1 day of use

i also find it to be weird that it's free on the desktop free on the iphone free for other phones but for wm users it's 8 bucks it really doesn't make any sense
