Hello, everyone!

For those of you Pandora One subscribers that would like to use the new 'Pandora One Account' option within Pandora Patcher while also bypassing region restrictions, the following configuration should work in theory until such a time that Pandora Patcher is able to natively support both functionalities (if it doesn't already).


1) Add the following four lines to your 'hosts' file (Yes, I realise that three of the IP addresses are the same and that having them as such seems counter-intuitive. However, these are the records that the ProxyDNS name servers have provided.).

Code: Select all50.116.28.138 pandora.com
50.116.28.138 www.pandora.com
162.243.7.155 tuner.pandora.com
50.116.28.138 internal-tuner.pandora.com


2) Reboot your device.

3) Make sure that the 'Bypass Region License' option in Pandora Patcher is unchecked.


*Also, please report back as to whether or not having the above configuration worked as I can not test it since I do not have access to a Pandora One account.

I don't think that IP for internal-tuner.pandora.com will work. Try this address which should work without logging in (it just determines if you're allowed to use the service) Try either http or https.

Code: Select allhttps://50.116.28.138/services/json/?method=test.checkLicensing

It will lead to a 404 and not the expected output which is

Code: Select all{"stat":"ok","result":{"isAllowed":true}}

which you get if you try the other IP for tuner.pandora.com

Code: Select allhttp://162.243.7.155/services/json/?method=test.checkLicensing

Hmm, just tested what you suggested and a few more things. Two big questions are now on my mind.


1) What the is 'error 15'??? My guess is something to do with not receiving encryption keys (which would make sense given that the error only seems to be thrown when tests are preformed outside of the actual Pandora application)

2) Has anyone actually tested the method that I described yet? I would test it right now, but I don't have a Pandora One account to test with.

according to the Pandora API, error 15 is wrong protocol (http/https)

I like the rich notification functionality a lot. glgamer, can you add the thumbs-up to the rich notification?

[(GL)gamer765]

It is there...

[petrospekaros]

Well, not for me.

Actually, comparing with your screenshot, my notification is only one row tall, not two as your post shows. And mine only has The cover, then title and artist, and then pause, forward and close.

What could be the reason? Is this kitkat caused?

Thought it might be other xposed modules messing with the notification menu, so disabled all, rebooted and still the same.

no... like most other notifications, you have to pull the notification down to expand it to its full size. You get one row because you have lots of notifications...

Install the following module to permanently fix the issue.

Amazing work! Everything works. Pandora is now great.
