Same here. Running latest PAC on a nexus 4 and I can't install the app. On the Install Application window, only the cancel button can be pressed. The install button does nothing.

I installed this and changed the path to my external SD card (extsdcard/gmusic/) and yet when I try to sync, it says there's not enough room on my device (no, my music library is not larger than my 64GB SD card which is mostly empty!)

Any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] Fknzek:
I had this issue also.

With my device at first I tried (sdcard01/music) sort of like how you have done? But then I tried (storage/sdcard01/music) and it seemed to work just fine after that.

Hope this helps.

Edit: in other words I started from device root

Yep, which is pretty useful in case your music library exceeds the size of your internal sd card ;).

Dont close or discontinue anything man. I just dowloaded the play music apk from the play store and started to try to play my music. No go, not on wifi or 3g, low quality or high quality.

One 2 seconf download later and im streaming high quality music like it was intended to do.

Where's the data going?

First.... love the app... basically installed it due to the ability to change the music directory, which is huge since space is somewhat limited on my internal.

But... one thing I've been wondering is... Where is the data going? I've re-enabled all the background stuff (only on Wifi, thankfully) and this thing had sucked down gigs worth of stuff over the past couple of days....which I would expect as my library is huge, but there's not much to show for it. Its sucked down 3K artwork files, and I only have 21 locally cached songs... all told only about 108MB worth of stuff stored in the new music folder on my external card.

Where's the rest? There's nearly 2G of 'missing' music data somewhere (certainly not on my internal).. Does it cache in a hidden directory?
[Android Apps and Games] LeoRex:
I think I figured the data hog culprit out: the main sync setting on my google account. I do some automation that calls for toggles the background sync every 15 minutes when my screen is off (helps keep the phone asleep yet checks emails every 15 mins).

Well, Google Play is in there... so I think what is happening is that the I call for a sync, it's also calling for a Play Music sync, and refreshing all my locally cached music and artwork each time I ask for a sync. I unchecked Music in the account sync setting and I am not seeing the data xfers anymore.

This app does not work on Samsung Galaxy Grand.

The google play music stock version prevents the instalation of this app.

Any sugestions?
[Android Apps and Games] polobunny:
First post:
[Android Apps and Games] brugazz:
gmusic+ on Samsung Galaxy Grand Duos (l9082)

I solved the problem before the posted answer... thanks anyway!

My phone was rooted already.

The problem was caused because I unistalled the stock google music with the titanium backup app.

I fixed the issue reinstalling the stock google music app, deleting all the DATA for the stock google music, "force stop" the app through the settings and by removing the app normally through the settings.

When I tried to install the gmusic+ again, I did not get the system app replacement error. So no errors so far!

[Android Apps and Games] LeoRex:
This might have been covered before... but there is a work-around to get the real Music app to dump to the external card. It requires root access (which you needed for Music+ anyhow) and something like ROM Toolbox Lite. First, make sure to stop Music... force close, freeze with TB... whatever you need to do to stop it from running while you do this.

Create a parent folder on your external card... call it PlayMusic or whatever, this name isn't important

create two directories in that external directory.... music and artwork. Make sure they are RW all.

Open a file manager with root access and the ability to see the system stuff (hence ROM Toolbox) and go to: /data/data/com.google.android.music/files

Delete the music and artwork directories

Navigate to your external card.. create a link for the music and artwork directories and put it in data/data/com.google.android.music/files

If you have a bunch of files in that data/data/com.google.android.music/files and want to keep them, rather than creating new directories, you can just move those directories in files to the external card and then link them back to data/data/com.google.android.music/files.

Restart Google Music... done. As long as your SD card is there and working, Music will use it to write locally saved music and artwork.

Works on my Stellar (latest Music, 4.1.2 ME1 update - verizon)
[Android Apps and Games] JMS74:
What's the procedure for creating links? Are those links available at startup always?
[Android Apps and Games] FaulFels:
In a terminal emulator (or via ADB) type

ln -s /full/path/to/directory/ /full/path/to/link

Yes, they are. They are so calles symlinks
[Android Apps and Games] JHAres:
Hi,

Sorry to ask, but I can't find the answer...

Why in my app the settings only has the offline storage option ?

There is not option to sync in Google account ?

Maybe because the app isn't in \system ?

I'm in Android 4.1.2.

TIA !

Edit: The reasons seems to be the "unsupported country".... geez...

Can't download music right now. Not Enough Space

I can't seem to get the app to download any of my music from Google Play Music. I have the directory set to /storage/extSdCard/Music but whenever I check the buttons for getting the music on my phone I get a notification saying "Can't download music right now. Not enough space." Which doesn't make sense because I have like 10 gb of space on my SD card and like 3gb of space on my internal storage. I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini rooted, and yes, I've already tried restarting after making any changes to the output folder

Haha cheers.
[Android Apps and Games] bulletfreak:
Necroing an old thread, i know. But i have to ask. I have T-Mobile which allows for streaming from Google Play Music without counting against your data. But with this app it seems it does for some reason, the actual Play Music URL should be whitelisted and not just the app right? Would i just need to change the name of the app or what? Because i use this everyday and i cant have it eating through my data every time it resets
[Android Apps and Games] weweboom:
This is great, the original version of the app is butt fugly. But it seems to be a good amount more laggy than the original version of the app, both in scrolling through list views vertically, and switching between songs and albums horizontally. Is that just me? Anyone else? D2SPR btw.

Re: Google Play Music+ v1.0 | We Can Rebuild It. (White Theme. More Consistent. Bette

Yes. You need to overwrite the stock version, which means you need root. (everything comes with Music pre-loaded, right?)

It does. I'm not sure what to do about it, I might just switch back to the stock one.

It's just different colors, it shouldn't be any more laggy. You might be syncing in the background still, which might slow things down.

I don't see anything really wrong with the stock icon. I think you should just stick with stock.

That's crazy. Music actually supplies its own background image. The rom theme is messing something up.
[Android Apps and Games] DoesntPostAThing:
One suggestion: Could you have it remember my library? I'll elaborate. What I mean is that I store all my music on a flash drive, which I connect using an OTG cable. Currently I use GoneMAD Music Player, which, when I unmount the drive, it still remembers my library, even if the app itself is killed. Then the next time I plug in my flash drive, it doesn't have to scan through my whole collection of music to find the songs. It can play right away. If you could add that to Play Music+ that'd be great. If you need more details about my suggestion feel free to ask. Thanks :)

Also, thanks for making this. It looks tons better than the blueish-gray-idontknowwhatcolor of the original Play Music.

UI bug: go to the top spinner and change it to 'On device only'. If you have no music downloaded, it'll show 'No music kept on device' with some text underneath. Then there's a 'Learn more' button. The 'Learn more' text is white, but it should be black.

Great work Ron! It'd be great if you could get rid of the white lines at either side of the album art on the now playing screen. Also, could you add 'Now playing' to the Up arrow on the Now playing screen?
