Pandora won't be available in the UK (or anywhere else outside the US) due to licensing agreements with the recording industry. It's the same as with their web service, unless I'm mistaken. They've been blocking non-US IP addresses all this year at least.
[G1 Apps and Games] innerspace:
good lord that took forever.

Thanks for the heads up. We we're possibly going to host the founder of pandora.com in october for a "town hall" on the future of internet radio. I was worried I'd freak out on him if this wasn't done by then lol.
[G1 Apps and Games] flumps:
well.....lets hope someone hacks the **** out of pandora n adds a proxy or something so us non US users can use it.
[G1 Apps and Games] midnite23:
Is there any way to edit maybe some file to trick it into thinking we're not using a Hero rom similar to how we could edit build.prop to trick the t-mobile myaccount app?
[G1 Apps and Games] Karolis:
It is legal to post any apk you want, as long as it's not warez (cracked apps).

In order to see US apps from UK (or any other country), just use Market Enabler.
[G1 Apps and Games] andonnguyen:
It needs access to your contact data because when you're in pandora and hit MENU > SHARE, it pulls up a list of your contacts for you to share a particular song with your contacts.
[G1 Apps and Games] andonnguyen:
Should be possible, send me your build.prop and I'll send it back modified. I don't want to load hero just to test it out, so if you want to work together I'm willing to help you. We'll test it out and see if it works. Although I think it may have the same restriction abilities like the spotify app, blocking non-US IP addresses, rather than just checking to see if your phone is from the US.

Last.Fm

Doh, I switched to last fm when i got the G1 cuz there was no pandora, now i have like 6 months of usage stats and stuff on last.fm. maybe ill just stick with that, its seems to be pretty much the same type of deal anyways.

unless someone figures out how to transfer last fm data to pandora
[G1 Apps and Games] andonnguyen:
For me, pandora is the most suitable for my needs. I'm always on the road and on an edge connection. Load times between songs is < 5 seconds so it's great for listening to music.
[G1 Apps and Games] uansari1:
Sounds reasonable to me...

...and THAT is where Pandora dropped the ball. I'm sure you're only one of thousands or more that are in the same boat. You should send them an email repeating what you said in your post so they know what their lack of foresight has cost them.
[G1 Apps and Games] midnite23:
I'll send it to you when I get out of class, but I tried modifying it using the T-Mobile MyAccount 2.0 thread settings, but no go. Idk. Maybe I mssed up. Guess we'll see.

[G1 Apps and Games] Sistum Id:
Forgive my ignorance, I did a search for Pandora vs Last.FM but it didn't pertain to the android based apps. So for the people that used both Pandora and Last.FM for android, which one do you recommend? I've been using Last.Fm since it came out for the G1.
[G1 Apps and Games] xyrcncp:
Same here. I downloaded Pandora as soon as I got home from work, and I was still running 1.7r2 and it worked just fine.

Needless to say, awesome, and unlike the LemmingPhone, it runs in the background :D
[G1 Apps and Games] uansari1:
Your best bet is to go to lastfm.com and pandora.com and check out both websites... then choose which you prefer and go with that app. Personally, I like Pandora because of it's ability to find new music for me based on various elements of other music I tell it that I like. I also appreciate that it doesn't serve me overly commercial music. I'm not sure if Last.fm would do so, as I've never used it... but that's why I'm sticking to Pandora, though I have to say that their CTO's statement in that video pissed me off. He should be kissing his own ass and apologizing to Android users for his shortsightedness.
[G1 Apps and Games] jjeleven12:
yeah i just tried it again and it works perfectly now...

i am also on jac 1.8

im excited to finally have good music playing thru my car radio haha

[G1 Apps and Games] jjeleven12:
nice find! hahahah such an awesome quote!
[G1 Apps and Games] tekkitan:
Last.fm recommends music based on your likes too *shrug*

Using Pandora now, I like it. Seems exactly the same as last.fm as far as I can tell though. I'll keep using it to see if I notice anything I like or dislike. Also going to check memory usage and whatnot and compare the two.
[G1 Apps and Games] uansari1:
Like I said... I'm not familiar with last.fm, as I've never used it. I've been using Pandora practically since they started, so it may just be a function of which service one has already begun using. I like your idea of comparing the resource footprints of the two apps, and look forward to hearing the results.
[G1 Apps and Games] tekkitan:
Ahh okay. Well I was just using pandora and it "Failed to retrieve the information from pandora.com" then crashed. Yikes!
[G1 Apps and Games] tekkitan:
One thing I wish both last.fm and pandora had was the ability to keep the screen on while playing. If I don't have it plugged in while playing music (like while at work), the screen will time out. Yes, I could change it manually in settings, but it'd be nice to define it in the app since that is the only time I would want that to happen other than when it has a charge :)
[G1 Apps and Games] uansari1:
Odd... it's been running rock solid on my phone.

On a side note, I need to get a mini-usb to 3.5mm adapter for headphones now. Anyone have suggestions? :)
[G1 Apps and Games] Stigy:

[G1 Apps and Games] JanetPanic:
This is the best news I have had all week. Installed it yesterday and I am in heaven. It works far better than I expected for a first release and I can at last use pandora again at the office. (Ironically I was the one who wrote the policy denying use of Pandora on the office network. :( )
[G1 Apps and Games] uansari1:
Got any suggested models?
[G1 Apps and Games] DOHCtor:
I love this app. I love streaming my stations to my bluetooth head unit in my car and not worry about long buffer times and crappy music.
[G1 Apps and Games] DOHCtor:
I use the Motorola S9.
[G1 Apps and Games] uansari1:
Thanks I'll look into that one. :)
[G1 Apps and Games] beartard:
I've waited for this app for a while now. I normally use Pandora on my desktop and have a Slacker(.com) portable for use in the car and everywhere else. I was impressed that I could drop my G1 in the universal cradle where my Slacker lives, turn my car stereo on, have Pandora work over bluetooth and still pause for a handsfree call. It doesn't take much to impress me, but this app's release just made me have one less gadget to carry around on a regular basis.

The jobsite I've been working at has no T-Mobile coverage, so I had to use the Slacker. This could be a drawback to some: no songs cached on the phone itself. No network; no music. As I left for a weekend at home today, the playback was set to "normal" quality, yet sounded fine with no noticeable skips or glitches even without a 3G signal for most of the commute. On Edge, the album art was a little slow to load, but passable. I didn't try it on standard GPRS. I'm using the most recent cyanogenmod rom with kspec's oreo theme, just for reference.
[G1 Apps and Games] DOHCtor:
I love how I can skip and pause the music through my head unit controls too
[G1 Apps and Games] tekkitan:
There is a bluetooth thread in the accessories forum that discusses a few options. I found it useful and will probably be purchasing one of the ones talked about in that thread.
[G1 Apps and Games] tekkitan:
Well been using Pandora (with KeepScreen! works wonders!). In most of the songs I am hearing a very audible "click" throughout the song. It's starting to give me a headache :(

Last.fm and Pandora are pretty much exactly the same as far as I can tell as well (functionality-wise)

edit: I had said originally that Last.fm is better quality. Listening again, Last.fm seems a little flatter, but I am not getting the click I described in Pandora. Not sure if it is my speakers or maybe the G1's sound output with higher quality audio. I doubt it is my speakers or the G1 though as I listen to 320kbps mp3s on the G1 through the music player without any issues.
[G1 Apps and Games] DOHCtor:
I'm not getting any clicks at all...
[G1 Apps and Games] tekkitan:
Maybe I have super sonic hearing!? I don't know hehe. Listening to MP3s through mixzing and radio through Last.fm I don't hear the clicks that I can only describe as sounding like a CD skip.
[G1 Apps and Games] uansari1:
In your settings for Pandora, are you using "high quality" or "normal quality"? Pandora says that high quality may cause skips.
[G1 Apps and Games] Senorkabob:
Can anyone give me a battery life expectancy when listening to this?

Does it drain it?
[G1 Apps and Games] uansari1:
Wouldn't you think it would drain the battery a little more?
[G1 Apps and Games] Senorkabob:
I figured that, what I was meaning however was does this thing kill your phone in an hour
[G1 Apps and Games] theslam08:
If you do other things then probably yes. But playing this while in the background with dlight off, no probably not an hour. Probably around 2-3 the most (constantly playing). But with dlight on all the time, an hour without doing anything but pandora, yes.

BTW!!!! HERO works GREAT with it. This is sweeeet, im on EDGE and it works (good quality too, no sacrifice!) haha. Thats sweet, a tad slow [to load the songs] but nothing i cant be pissed at at all (why im on edge?)! Nice work pandora :D
[G1 Apps and Games] Shrivel:
Any app that does constant data streaming is going to burn up your battery pretty fast.
[G1 Apps and Games] tekkitan:
i'll check that, thanks for the heads up. if that is it, i'll be quite sad because high quality is where it's at! i guess i'll just listen to my mp3s
[G1 Apps and Games] G1-evolve:
Once I search an artist I can't search for one another time.. :(
[G1 Apps and Games] uansari1:
Even normal quality sounds good bro. You can listen to high quality when you're on 3G or wifi.
[G1 Apps and Games] uansari1:
Check out pandora.com on your PC and you'll understand how the service works. Once you search for an artist, Pandora creates a specific channel for you based on that artist. So you need to back out of the channel and then you can do a new search. The cool thing is that every time you search, a new channel will be created (you can delete channels as you want as well)... so you'll have access to that channel tomorrow or even a year from now unless you delete it.
[G1 Apps and Games] tekkitan:
i am on 3g all the time for the most part. that is when i was getting skips. i'll try the normal quality though. thanks.
[G1 Apps and Games] tekkitan:
finally got a chance to look at this (and just remembered it testing something for a fellow cyanogenmod tester). it is actually defaulted to 'normal'. i set it to high quality and no longer hear skips. ironic that the description in the app even says the opposite of what i just experienced :)
[G1 Apps and Games] uansari1:
Very interesting... I'll have to try that out.
[G1 Apps and Games] wakeupkeo:
Holy Crap wheres the love for IMeem?

This is an opinion post. Only opinion, and open to debate.

Last.fm is slow compared to iMeem and I am exclusively on Edge- I have to use At&t for now. I heard such good things about Pandora and was SO amped to hear it was released, and gave it every chance in the world to wow me.

Imeem is better. For one reason- Favorite artists playlists and favorite songs playlists. Now I tried looking all over pandora for this, so that I can #1 listen so just artists I like, no "new suggestions" for artists, just tracks I maybe never heard before. Sometimes I don't want to "explore". And #2 when I show off my android to friends, I have group-friendly tracks exclusively favorited, and I can switch on the Favorite Songs playlist and not worry. Ever.

Please tell me I am missing something in Pandora.
[G1 Apps and Games] thegreatcity:
While I disagree about Imeem being best, I do agree Pandora is the worst option available right now.

I assume the same rule applies about how many times you can skip in Pandora, but Ill never know for sure as I get an error every 3-4 songs prompting me to restart my station.

I like Last.fm most. I listen to a lot of underground music, and Last.fm has found many more bands I listen to than Imeem or Pandora. I can skip as many times as I want, maintain a library, do multiple artist radios, and scrobbling from my Dream's music player. I can also look at a bands tour schedule, find the venue they'll play at in Maps, and then add it to my calendar. So in my opinion, Last.fm plays more into the Android experience, what with them talking up "Apps without borders".
[G1 Apps and Games] Do0zman:
I love pandora but i just cant use this anymore while im listening to pandora the phone decides to start playing songs off of my sd card at the same time(having two songs playing at the same time). every time thing happens i have to open the stock music player hit play then stop to stop the music playing from sd while pandora is going. im on cyan 4.1.11.11.1.1.111.1.11(dont remember the full number lol) has anyone els exp this

[G1 Apps and Games] Kellic:
Anyone else find Pandora to be a really system intensive app? I can't really multitask unless I OC the CPU in the system.
[G1 Apps and Games] lotherius:
Seems like ALL audio programs on the G1 are cpu intensive, but Pandora is the worst. I am really disappointed in the G1 as a media streaming device, honestly. But while some apps are usable, others are completely broken, and Pandora is one of the broken ones. I've resorted to using DoggCatcher to download music podcasts while charging, and then listening to them non-streaming.

[G1 Apps and Games] athflying:
I had some performance issues when I first installed Pandora, but after wiping and updating to Cyan's latest ROM, it's much better. I emailed Pandora about the stock player randomly playing and they claim it only happens with custom ROM's.....sooooo....sounds like they are blaming it on the dev's here. I still use Pandora daily and am really happy to see it on Android. Hopefully an update will be out soon that may help performance issues.
[G1 Apps and Games] tekkitan:
The songs playing by themselves is something on cyan. It isn't a Pandora issue. I have this same problem with other music apps including Pandora.

bluetooth problem

hey everyone, ive been having this problem since i installed pandora: when pandora is launched & phone is paired to my motorola s9-hd bluetooth headphones, the pandora interface works, but no sound can be heard through the headphones. pandora is able to play music through my phone's speaker & wired headphones; just no bluetooth at the moment. the htc music app also tries to launch as others have mentioned, but nothing plays- tried killing that app with advanced task manager but that didnt help. the headphones do work with other apps i have (tunewiki, meridian, htc music). any suggestions? running tmobile g1 with JACxROM 1.5r3, 512mb ext4 partition & 64mb swap partition.

**figured this out- it was a problem with power manager pro not playing nice with my settings. dont even know why i keep this installed anymore, toggles have pretty much replaced what it used to be good for; uninstalled. had to reboot the phone and then delete & repair with my bluetooth headset- seems to be working well with everything now.

ive been getting pms from people wondering why i dont release all the new builds for kaiser, i usually do release them but they are hidden in the 600+ pages of my thread. so from now on i am going to do things differently, all new builds will be published in their own thread and will be a light rom with stock everything :) if they pass the test here, then i may decide to dress them up and release them in my main rom thread. all roms come with stock themes, classic blue is default. these roms are light and FAST, just because they look like stock doesnt mean i havent included my tweaks ;) special thanks to Da_G for bringing us all the new builds, without him none of this would be possible :D

just a few screenshots....

Great rom!

I used the elite v9 and elite v11 before (liked the 9 better), and just today installed this rom.

Runs very smooth, except for some titanium plugins that do not work (Settings does not work and I would like to, and others, that i do not use anyway).

compared to the other 23409 from witschey's this runs better ( witschey's could not run igo8... don't know why).

If I find any other problem I will report.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] twopumpchump:
yeah some of the titanium plugins dont work with the newer builds, either they are going to have to be updated by their creators or microsoft is going to have to change some things....but im betting on the plugin makers having to update lol.

I am having a "problem" with the fonts in titanium.

When I disable cleartype some smaller fonts in the titanium plugins become unreadable (especially in titanium weather 4.2, although i know it is not part of the stock rom; it is here that the problem is most visible). could someone point me to a solution to this problem?

titanium right 0.5 does not install... (it was among the very few results).

I know it must be some kind of registry setting/layout file, but i cannot find it anywhere (and even if i did find the file that needs relacing, what should i replace it with?).

could this be related to the DPI?

anyone knows where the registry setting for this is?

(in my case the fonts are blurry because they are really small... maybe if i set the dpi so something higher it will make the fonts larger...)

does not work. i found a setting in the registry (HKCU\Microsoft\Today - DPI) and changed from 96 dec to 160 dec. no difference at all.
