04/15/2010 New Build Slacker Radio Released by Slacker for WinMo
 

I see there are a couple of posts about this in the TP2 section- so if any moderators want to delete this thread feel free. But since not everyone owns a TP2 here ya go.

Slacker released a mobile client for WinMo you can download here...

I know there were some problems with the one posted a while back. The UI on this version is pretty darn good. Although I did not have a bunch of success at streaming music.

Edit: 04/15/2010 New Build of Slacker Radio. Build Number 1.0.148
There is a new UPLOAD LOG feature, which uploads your data/changes to slacker Radio.

Please report any other changes...

I've seen this already on the TP2 section but thought I'd say thanks to you for taking the time to post it on the software section :) to anyone wondering if this application is good, it is truly amazing! great sound and what now, great UI... I LOVE it.

Re: Slacker Radio Released by Slacker for WinMo
 

thanks bout to try this now

Re: Slacker Radio Released by Slacker for WinMo
 

It also works ok on VGA although the pause skip love ban,etc cant be seen on screen. Still a good reason to get rid of pandora

Re: Slacker Radio Released by Slacker for WinMo
 

Nice to see an official release, I've been using the leaked version for several months.

Edit - damn it, it's still WVGA only. WVGA is nice, don't get me wrong, but most phones use a lower resolution. Maybe now that it's officially out someone can port it to WQVGA though. I've tried, unsuccessfully, in the past.

Re: Slacker Radio Released by Slacker for WinMo
 

a vga port would rock...still very useable

Re: Slacker Radio Released by Slacker for WinMo
 

I love it on my touch pro, vga support would be nice though. I normally push down 2x to pause, 3x to skip, kind of a pain but do-able

Re: Slacker Radio Released by Slacker for WinMo
 

push down on what...button, screen

Re: Slacker Radio Released by Slacker for WinMo
 

on the scroll wheel

Re: Slacker Radio Released by Slacker for WinMo
 

Slacker owns.

Re: Slacker Radio Released by Slacker for WinMo
 

does anyone else have the bug where the song will randomly stop playing? I have been dealing with this since the fixed version came along, and it still persists with the official release. could it be the Mighty ROM?

Re: Slacker Radio Released by Slacker for WinMo
 

I think it's really just people losing their internet connection. I never have this problem on WiFi, only when using 3G, and it typically happens shortly after I've driven through a bad-reception area.

Re: Slacker Radio Released by Slacker for WinMo
 

I agree..network related

Re: Slacker Radio Released by Slacker for WinMo
 

So everytime I try to install this cab it always says its unsuccessful. What could be wrong? I'm running the newest MightyROM. Thanks in advance for anyone who bis able to help.

Re: Slacker Radio Released by Slacker for WinMo
 

Sounds good. Thanks to maisonpulaski and AcidBath.
Anybody know if this works well on a factory TP2 for Verizon?

Installed Slacker- works like a charm! Graphics are clear and crisp. Tracks change flawlessly. Pandora who??? Thanks again!

Re: Slacker Radio Released by Slacker for WinMo
 

greatness all around. just switched to slacker from pandora thanks to this!

It does indeed work with factory Verizon!

Re: Slacker Radio Released by Slacker for WinMo
 

I'm glad you all love it, Do you guys have that issue though were it seems to stop during songs for no reason? if you guys want a better experience though, paying a sub, makes it more fun! unlimited skipping :D

Re: Slacker Radio Released by Slacker for WinMo
 

I have ran it thru my sprint connection and thru wifi, it still stops mid song, I will stick with pandora.

Re: Slacker Radio Released by Slacker for WinMo
 

I think it is indeed a slacker network issue. I've also tried it on my buddies hero, songs seem to stop randomly as well. I tried it on my sisters motodroid as well... great application though! good thing android has Pandora.. a good working stable one. getting my hero tomorrow :D

Re: Slacker Radio Released by Slacker for WinMo
 

I listened for 3 hours- one hour while also websurfing on Skyfire. Maybe 2 stopped songs... tops. During that time I was on the subway though and my Skyfire acted a little funky as well. I attribute that to a weak signal travelling through stations. Text messages, e-mails, etc all came through without hangups. IMO- definitely better than Pandora.

Re: Slacker Radio Released by Slacker for WinMo
 

Am I the only one missing all the nav controls now with the official version? I have no track skip or anything. I am running the version from slackers site. Which is the same version posted here.

Re: Slacker Radio Released by Slacker for WinMo
 

Hey badb4c, I'm not sure what can be wrong but... try uninstalling the current version you have installed and download the cab i posted and installed then to device, if it still refuses to work, just try giving your device a hard reset and do a fresh install upon a boot and see if it works :)

*my advise might just be useless*

Re: Slacker Radio Released by Slacker for WinMo
 

That one looks the same. I actually did a hard reset yesterday and it looked like this pre and post hard reset. The wonky part is the unofficial one used to display correctly until I installed the official one. Thanks though.

Re: Slacker Radio Released by Slacker for WinMo
 

Anybody know how to hardware map buttons to play/pause or skip because on the tp the app is too big and the touch screen controls are impossible to see let alone tap.

Re: Slacker Radio Released by Slacker for WinMo
 

If you have a D-Pad, you can actually get to the buttons. If you touch the album art, it shows the lyrics, then hit "now playing", then press right on the D-Pad 3 times, it puts the "cursor" on the "skip" button. Pressing right only twice puts it on pause. If you don't touch the art first, and just use the D-pad, I think it pretty much always puts the "cursor" on the "ban" button. Hope this helps.

Re: Slacker Radio Released by Slacker for WinMo
 

Ty so much.

Re: Slacker Radio Released by Slacker for WinMo
 

Slacker is so much better than Pandora. I use it on my Tour all the time.

Re: Slacker Radio Released by Slacker for WinMo
 

Did another hard reset. Even ran task29 and re-flashed my rom. Still wont show correctly. I so cant wait for the Evo. The TP2 is really starting to suck.

Re: Slacker Radio Released by Slacker for WinMo
 

I'm sorry, I'm really sure what can be causing this problem for you, I'm not sure which ROM are you running, is it a custom one made by yourself? maybe that can be it if yes, the ROM you are running. I don't use my TP2 anymore but i just tried it and it shows everything correctly for me.

Re: Slacker Radio Released by Slacker for WinMo
 

It's got to be something else I have installed. I just think it's odd it's only me. I am running Mighty rom 6.5 2.5 2012. Def not an odd ball rom.

Re: Slacker Radio Released by Slacker for WinMo
 

Yeah I'm going to assume it must be a modification cab install. did you by any chance install a font mod, I noticed you letters look more "hip" haha, i had no other way to say it. if you can list what cabs you have installed perhaps we can crack down on you're issue.

Re: 04/15/2010 New Build Slacker Radio Released by Slacker for WinMo
 

There is a new build. See post #1. Cannot testify yet as I am updating the thread b4 I have updated my phone. Will report back.

Re: 04/15/2010 New Build Slacker Radio Released by Slacker for WinMo
 

could you please post some screen shots of the updated version if there are any ui changesM

Re: 04/15/2010 New Build Slacker Radio Released by Slacker for WinMo
 

New build is till cut off for me. Here is what I have installed.

-- removed pics

Re: 04/15/2010 New Build Slacker Radio Released by Slacker for WinMo
 

Badb4c... I was correct, if you had taken the time to what i said before. I will quote it.
"did you by any chance install a font mod."

I installed the cab myself, rebooted, opened up slacker on my paperweight TP2 ;) I played a station. BINGO! I noticed that this font cab is the reason. If you want to get the buttons to skip,ban,fav,ect.... uninstall the cab other wise try contacting godzson but I doubt he will work on this for you but you never know! till then uninstall the cab and enjoy the application, thanks. hit thanks for me if you'd like.

Re: 04/15/2010 New Build Slacker Radio Released by Slacker for WinMo

Re: 04/15/2010 New Build Slacker Radio Released by Slacker for WinMo
 

never did see that screen shot

Re: 04/15/2010 New Build Slacker Radio Released by Slacker for WinMo
 

It all looks exactly the same to me. Seems to work fine. I wont test it for a full 7 - 9 hours until Monday.

Re: 04/15/2010 New Build Slacker Radio Released by Slacker for WinMo
 

There is nothing to screen shot, as bad said, nothing has really changed so why even bother taking a screen shot? go ahead and just upgrade if it means that much lol.

Re: 04/15/2010 New Build Slacker Radio Released by Slacker for WinMo
 

I thouught you said you got a new font to work? If you did what font? All you said was uninstall and enjoy. WHat rom are you using how did the new font help?
