[Google Chromecast] EvoXOhio:
I've tried that. The issue I have is that when I load a new ROM, the first time it boots up and Google music runs in the background it wipes the pinned songs. Titanium backup doesn't actually backup the pinned songs so not sure what you mean there.
[Google Chromecast] cmstlist:
Yeah I can vouch for this issue too. I sync a list of podcasts to my phone through iSyncr, and the same podcasts also get synced to the cloud via iTunes/Google Play. On my phone, any synced podcast won't cast because it's sideloaded, even though the same podcast is already in the cloud. On my tablet, which I don't store local music on, I can launch the same podcast and it does cast to Chromecast.

As for All Access - there was an overlap of a few days between my free trial and getting Chromecast, and it did work nicely. However I was under the mistaken impression that signing up for the free trial of All Access before June 30 would give me a lifetime discount. I did not realize I'd have to maintain a continuous subscription. So I cancelled at the end of the free trial and no more discount for me. I will probably not sign up again as I anticipate other music apps becoming Chromecast-compatible soon.

I see an update to Google Play Music available.

*Chromecast improvements

Hopefully it fixed the problems we've been having
[Google Chromecast] cmstlist:
I see the update in Play Store but no update button. Tried uninstalling updates and then updating, but I still have the previous build. Guess it hasn't "rolled out" to my accounts yet.

Well after an hour of streaming it looks like they've fixed all my issues.

No problems streaming music even if it's been saved to my phone.:good:

Is there a way to cast Google Music from Chrome? Or do I just need to cast the tab through the chrome extension?
[Google Chromecast] cmstlist:
OK finally got Play Music update. I still can't cast on-device content, however now when I look up any such content I get two entries in the search: One for the copy that iSyncr put there, and another for the copy Google synced to the cloud. One of them will cast to Chrome and the other won't.
[Google Chromecast] slim26:
Even after the update, I'm still unable to cast when the mp3 is both on my phone & in the cloud. The problem is there is no way to see music that is only in the cloud, so Google Play music is looking locally first.

I have to keep the music on the phone. I don't understand when I see so many comments of how I should ditch the sdcard and keep only in the cloud. I don't know what world they are living in, but I don't have unlimited data, I'm on the road a lot, and I travel on planes a lot.

I found that if I unmount my sdcard, all is fine - but that is a major pain.

Anyone find any solutions yet?

---------- Post added at 08:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:05 AM ----------

I saw that Google Music from Chrome is not supported for casting.
[Google Chromecast] jam10238:
Do you have access to a pc? Drop the mp3s you want to sideload onto a computer and install Google music manager. Let Google upload your songs to the cloud and then pin it to the device instead of straight up sideloading it.
[Google Chromecast] slim26:
When I looked into pinning a song in the past, I wasn't able to pin to the sdcard. Is that issue no longer a problem now?
[Google Chromecast] jam10238:
There are a few threads floating around on using a symlink method, but I havent tried it myself. My Nexus 7 and HTC One dont have an SD Card but hopefully this will help:

There is a patch for pinning to SD but I can't find it right now.

I saw it a week or two ago. I have almost 30 gigs of music on my sd.

Sorry I can't find it right now.
[Google Chromecast] slim26:
Do you need to have root for the patch? While I've rooted my past phones... not looking to void my warranty yet on my S4.
[Google Chromecast] jdnyc:
I had the folder shortcut option for a while but this was much easier.

[Google Chromecast] slim26:
Cool. Thanks for the link. Sounds like a future update will support SDCard.. not really looking into having a launcher to be able to cast music to my tv, so I'll wait another week or so and hope for an update.
[Google Chromecast] jdnyc:
Not sure if this helps but I just used my launcher to make that change to the SD card (stock all access app). I can cast the music direct from all access to chromecast. The launcher was only used to make the ui/sd card option setting easier.
[Google Chromecast] slim26:
Thanks again. The link that jdnyc posted worked for pinning music to sdcard. Major pain to pin everything being it seems you have to do it album by album, but I tested and it seems to play on Chromecast fine now.
[Google Chromecast] MW5050:
Decent

I tried it out for a bit, it's a decent service. Ended up going back to torch music though because I like the format better overall.
[Google Chromecast] Echodawg:
No Slim, you can pin playlists too.

I have every song that I "Thumb(s) Up" and "Recently Added" so they all auto sync.

I also make playlists for bands I love too. I have tons of Tom Waits, The Stones, The Talking Heads, Miles Davis albulms to name a few.
[Google Chromecast] promosrus:
The update did not help...

I have music in the cloud and on my phone. Even after the latest music update, I still get the sideloaded error.

Is there a way to trick the music app to think that there is no local music? And play everything from the cloud?

---------- Post added at 03:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:53 PM ----------

I ended up dumping a .nomedia file in my local music folder. So the play music app thinks i have no music, while other music players can still see it.

So now chromecast works. Google should really fix this...
[Google Chromecast] cmstlist:
I find that with the new update - if I search for a song that is both sideloaded and in the cloud, I will get two copies in the search. One gives the sideload error, and the other one streams from the cloud to Chromecast.
[Google Chromecast] yukycg:
I have nexus 7 (2013) and the chromecast to play the music from the clouds, all I can say is it is a painful process!!!

If someone can simplify the procedure below, please help me out

1.I have a playlist called "Korean Songs" in iTune, so I copied all the songs from that playlist to a folder in PC

2.Using Google music manager, I upload the folder to google music (cloud) ~1000 songs

3.I create a new playlist in google music, and I need to manual add each song/album to the new playlist. What a pain, and I cannot find a way that select all songs and create a playlist. Please help.

4.In Nexus 7, I pinned the playlist and it auto download.

Here come another pain. Occasionally I add/remove songs in iTune, it seem the Google manager doesnt sync if a song is removed from that folder. Worst, it create instant mix in the stupid Play Music app.

Overall, a very bad experience using chromecast and Google music.
[Google Chromecast] wideasleep1:
Simple. Under Auto-Playlists, select Last Added, (which should be the tracks you just loaded), Click Play on the first track. During playback, notice that this entire Last Added list is now in Queue! This allows you to Save Queue (button upper right) as a new Playlist, label it Korean Songs. Oh, and ditch iTunes.
[Google Chromecast] Echodawg:
I second this.

Thanks, it works. Second issue after I upload another playlist, the last added history is mixed with newly added. Surprise in the Google music(cloud) instead using nexus 7, the Last Added tag, I was able to manually select all the recent uploaded songs and add to the new playlist. :victory:

I'm actually finding GPlay Music to be finicky even when not using Chromecast. I was listening to a long podcast, and when I woke up my phone and tapped the GPlay Music line in the notification tray it opened the app but paused the music. I never asked nor wanted it to pause.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tom0044:
I could not find much help on this issue so starting a new thread. I was trying to install the CyanogenMod Android on my wife's Samsung Captivate I897 using the official instructions in the CyanogenMod Wiki page -

wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_captivatemtd

While installing a custom recovery on Captivate, I screwed up on step 5 while running the below command.

heimdall flash --kernel zImage --no-reboot

I tried with zImage keyword and it didn't work and not sure what went into my mind, I copied the "Semaphore_2.5.0c.tar" into the Heimdall directory and pushed it into the device using the below command -

heimdall flash --kernel Semaphore_2.5.0c.tar --no-reboot

After this the device is not starting. Only the AT&T initial Flash page is coming and it freezes there unless I take out the battery. I can still get the device into the download mode using the USB and volume keys.

Appreciate any help in this regards !!

I'm Currently Using the "JedixRomV14". The rom came with trickster mod witch from what I understand is used to access certain features of saberKernel. My confusion comes with not knowing what these features entail. For example there is an "eco mode" option but no explanation of what this mode does. I read the faq but it doesnt explain these either.

I guess I was just asking if some1 can point me to an article that explains what these features do?

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Johnsondr80:
Yes. I had same issue on my captivate trying to restore stock from a cm7

To fix I had to flash in the kernel and recovery from cm and in cwm under advance mounts format data. Back then on that device speedmod kernel allowed users to select format method (fat32/ext4/etc)

But also hemidall should format with the repartition. But that is assuming it can read and mount the partition.

You can use this package but instead of flashing the ROM package,

Load the pit and load only the kernel and recovery

Then boot into cwm and mount and format data (might as well while your at it mount and format system, and cache)
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tinpanalley:

Okay, I seemed to have messed something up along the way.

Downloaded the zip that includes all of the tools and the .tar for flashing.

As of right now I've got a VZW Galaxy Tab that is stuck in a bootloop due to something that I did. I'm just trying to get it back to a usable state right now. Odin can't even see the device when I plug it in, so I'm thinking there is a problem with the drivers on my computer. I tried to install the Samsung USB drivers that you have included in your zip file, but I think that might have made my problem worse.

Here's where I'm at right now:

Tab is in download mode. C++ installed, Samsung USB drivers are installed, but after installing them windows says "Device drivers were not installed correctly" and I've got yellow warning signs next to all of the drivers in my device manager, when trying to use the zadig I cannot find anything that is remotely related to Android or USB (Aside from USB root, but that's not it).

So obviously, when I try and flash anything Heimdall can't find the device.

Any tips on how to get this to work, or maybe a pointer as to where something went wrong?

EDIT: Okay, got it working finally. I overwrote the Samsung USB Drivers that were showing up in zadig when the tablet was plugged in - and I used the Windows USB option. That worked.

Now the tablet is booting properly, but there is a System Update (And a perpetual notification on the top of the screen) that I cannot run because it bootloops the tablet.

Now what? :/

Also, there are no Google apps on the entire thing - this isn't completely stock is it?
