I cant get this to work on my jpm 2.2 vibrant...its just a copy of the pandora app
True, it is just a copy. But I have removed all image files for lower res screens and have started the process of changing most (if not all) of the other images.

Does it not install for you or does it FC? Either way, it could just be a problem with 2.2 as I have not flashed any 2.2 ROMs, let alone trying this on it.

I did notice that I would get FCs if I used Titanium to restore App Data Only from any previous backup of Pandora. Just had to sign in fresh after installing and it has worked since.

Version 1.0 of both W & B released. Pulled do FC issue. B1.2 released.

Let me know if there are any inconsistencies in the graphics.

PM me if you have a LDPI or MDPI screen and would be willing to test the mod once I get those graphics replaced.

Great work.

Can I ask what font are you using and what widgets are you using for weather and time/date.

[MOD/APK] Minimal Pandora Ver W1.0 | B1.2 (Update x3 - Nov 2) WIP
This is for HDPI screens ONLY.
It will not work on any other screen resolutions because I have removed all unneeded graphic files.

I may eventually take the time to change all the graphics to work on other screens, but as Bionix/Fusion is for the Vibrant which is HDPI, that is what I am focusing on right now.

I am not responsible for what you do with this.


Pandora is amazing. Nothing bad can be said about the service, but I think the app/widget are fairly ugly for such a smooth program. This project of mine is to clean up the interface and possibly unlock the full potential of the app (whatever that means). My inspiration for many of the changes are Sombionix/Team Whiskey's ROM work as well as rori~'s Smoked Widgets

This is by all means a WIP still, but I am releasing it so I can get feedback on the direction I am taking it and to use you as guinea pigs to search out any hitches I may introduce. That said, I am no coder in anyone's imagination. So if an update changes any code it will be highly experimental and I will do my best to figure out any issues to the best of my ability.


To use this if you have not installed a previous version of this mod:
Remove the Pandora widget if it is on a homescreen
Uninstall the Pandora you currently have
Download the version you want
Place the .apk someplace on your SD card / Find it on your SD card
Use a file manager to install
DO NOT restore Data from Titanium Backup. It is causing FCs for some reason

To use this if you have installed a previous version of this mod:
Remove the Pandora widget if it is on a homescreen
Download the Version you want
Place the .apk someplace on your SD card / Find it on your SD card
Use a file manager to install
DO NOT restore Data from Titanium Backup. It is causing FCs for some reason
*If there is an issue with installing, please uninstall Pandora first


Downloads
•Naming convention
• •W#.# will be white widget text for dark backgrounds.
• •B#.# will be black widget text for light backgrounds.

Links removed because app FCs when switching to landscape. Trying to figure out why and will update as soon as I do. Seems I pulled out a couple graphics that were being called when switching to landscape. Working on the fix and replacing a couple more graphics.
Minimal Pandora Ver W1.0 - still working on it, broke something else and now won't install. gong to have to rebuild from scratch
Minimal Pandora Ver B1.2
Market Pandora 1.5.1

*switched to MediaFire to track downloads to get an idea of which is being used more

••••••
May not work on 2.2 ROMs. If you are using 2.2, please say what ROM/Kernel and if this .apk works (installs and no FC after signing in)

Landscape FCs have been fixed.

Great work.

Can I ask what font are you using and what widgets are you using for weather and time/date.
I'm using ScalaSans Light. The link can be found in my signature. You must have a Galaxy S phone with Flipfont to use it.

The time/date is the dClock mod by ilangoadigal found here.

The weather is Typographic Weather Widget Small found here. I'm still deciding between the regular and the small version, but both are beautiful.

Not working on my captivate running cog 9.1.3. Wont install when I place the apk in system/app. Not sure why since his roms should enable non market apps and apk's.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
If you are rooted, can you try moving the .apk into /system/app then reboot (using ADB or Root Explorer (or other file app with root access)). See if it shows up then.

Thanks for this creator!
Thank you for using it. :cool:

Forgive my NOOB-NISH but this is a music app correct and not a theme?

Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
It's a mod/theme for the Pandora Radio music app.

Its working. I always forget some apps need to be used after a reboot. It has been awhile since I had one so I forgot. Looks good and I like the controls!
It's the little things that slip passed us that can make us feel really dumb. :D Those thumb icons were quite obnoxious.
