[Announce] User Agent Tool - change Maemo Browser's user agent
Hi,
I'd like to announce my brand new app, User Agent Tool. Why is it better than Hide User Agent? Because it has a lot of presets. You can pretend to be an iPhone, a Galaxy S3 or Nokia Lumia 800. Some browser agents are included too! What is an user agent? It's a string which tells the website which kind of device/browser are you. And this way you can easily fool the server! Would you like to have an user agent included? Just let me know about it! Any feedback is appreciated! Download: User Agent Tool in an application manager or Code:
# apt-get install useragenttool Special thanks:

Re: [Announce] User Agent Tool - change Maemo Browser's user agent
Nice tool.
It wood be nicer if we could just pick the UserAgent name from a drop-down box. We could populate some .ini file with the desired useragents. |
Re: [Announce] User Agent Tool - change Maemo Browser's user agent
nice app and the ui is nice too buh a quick observation..on choosing any of the useragents,i seem to get input error/output error...what am I doing wrong?tnx once again

Re: [Announce] User Agent Tool - change Maemo Browser's user agent
Could this be done for the Harmattan browser aswell?
|
Re: [Announce] User Agent Tool - change Maemo Browser's user agent
Could you tell me if it contains a setting so that the website thinks it's a pc trying to access? Fed up getting mobile sites where I used to get the full site.
Thanks |
Re: [Announce] User Agent Tool - change Maemo Browser's user agent
grob contains UA string in binary, not in some file, so, harmattan version is not possible at the moment, maybe if grob would be recompiled....it would be possible...

Re: [Announce] User Agent Tool - change Maemo Browser's user agent
AFAIK grob is closed source hence we had to edit the binary directly to change the UA string...
Edit: If we can get the applet from pre-beta1 fw as well as the grob of that time we might be able to do some comparisons and see what can be done...IIRC grob is changed every update in fw but the binary has been closed source since day one... Edit2: I had yesterday sent the grob files and refhashlist to marmistrz for pr1.3 and he is looking thru them to see if he can do any similar implementation...Just thought to let your'll know... |

The development section of TMO is one very good indication; when somebody asks for help usually the OP ends up solving his own issue...I saw wook ask for something the other day and till date nobody helped even though many "n950 devs" know the solution...juiceme was doing something for dual-booting and choosing os using a tap on the screen instead of volume buttons and when he initially asked for help nobody helped him till he already had some basic ideas...Luckily, coderus and wook saw it and were there too but otherwise the cupboard is quite bare :( That's why I am very thankful to the developers on here who have stayed on and continue to churn update after update as well as developing new apps... |

file:///opt/userAgentTool/qml/main.qml:1:1: module "QtQuick" is not installed import QtQuick 1.1 A search of talk.maemo.org turned up the following post: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...8&postcount=72 from which I understand that UserAgentTool may have a dependency on a version of QtQuick which is only available in the CSSU. Would it be possible for you to build UserAgentTool to use the stock Maemo PR1.3 version of QtQuick? Many thanks for your work on what is surely a very useful application. |

After using UserAgentTool to set my browser identification to Google Chrome, I was able for the first time to load the full-function version of m.youtube.com. As a result, I can now use my N900 to control the Google TV app in my Panasonic Blue-Ray player, from the comfort of my armchair. Again, many thanks for your work. |

Re: [Announce] User Agent Tool - change Maemo Browser's user agent
it works great here but other than that ,can you add a link for microB window in the app menu so that right after choosing an agent we can launch the browser from the app menu,only if it is possible ?

Getting the iphone 5 one would be nice - it would look the same on the n9 because of having the almost the same size screen. :D

I've pushed a new update that adds an icon!
Special thanks to sifo for doing it! @all: Do you want UserAgentTool to be moved to the control panel (aka settings) instead of being in the menu? |
Re: [Announce] User Agent Tool - change Maemo Browser's user agent
Yes, an entry under settings is much preferred.;)
