Getting Google "CLOUD" Music Sync working on the Fascinate (Froyo, not tested on 2.1)

[DiGi91]

Figured out how to get google music sync working on the fascinate and decided to share it with everyone!

Tested and working on DarkREVENGE v1 (and I assume v2) and Super Clean 2.8 however I suspect this will work on many roms and devices! doubt this will work on any 2.1 devices seeing as the APK is 2.2+ sorry for those of you running 2.1..
Now tested on MiUi Fascinate 1.2.25 and confirmed working!!

IMPORTANT: Your music must be set up like this sd/media/music if it is not located there it will not be uploaded to the cloud!

Known issue(s) You cannot manage your "cloud" just yet there is no web interface yet and i'm assuming this is still in the "testing" phase.

Now lets get to the fun!

Install this apk (adb push or install as a normal APK) make sure that Music.apk is deleted already if not go ahead and do that right now.

Alternative Mirror

Multiupload.com - upload your files to multiple file hosting sites!


You should see "Music & "Jumpertest" after installing.

go to account settings and to your google account you should now see "Sync Music" PRESS IT! and let it sync.

When that is done go into your app drawer and open up "Jumpertest" click on the "Controls" tab

Don't forget to click the "Accounts" tab and check off your gmail account it should ask for permissions (you will see an upside-down triangle with a !) in the status bar.

Next click on "Start Peer" it should work IF you do get an FC try reinstalling the apk or maybe rebooting IF you get a "authtoken error" go back into account settings and click on "Sync Music" again and try again!

(if all went well you should see "Peer started")

Next go ahead and click on "Import Local Media"

(once again if all went well you should see "Import complete")

Now that is all setup and time to access your music on the "CLOUD"

Go ahead and open up the Music app

Press the "Menu" softkey on your Fascinate to bring up the menu popup and select "Library Options" and after that select "Streaming Only"

(If you are not a complete newb or illiterate) you should now see your music that is on the cloud! Yay for clouds

If it did not work this means you are likely incapable of following directions that a five year old probably could and you should not have a rooted device!

However if it does not work and you are 9000% sure you did everything correct please list what rom you are on and method of installing the apk.

Hope you all enjoy and give me thanks if you found this helpful

this looks pretty cool. i have not messed around with the "cloud". could you explain a little more about that. deleting the sammy music will break the car dock for many so we will have to figure a way around that. very good job on the how to. i say stickie.

 

[Drootz]

Any idea how much or how many gig's of cloud music storage we will have access to?

 

[ckrenek23]

going to give this a shot right now, hope it works...love the "cloud"

 

[evlmind]

Installed, up and running in less then 5 minutes. Thank you so much! Loving the cloud.

keep getting FC. Running SC 2.8. and have tried both ways to install.
Iv rebooted multiple times and also reinstalled multiple times still nothing

I also have nothing in "music". The music files are in the right part of the sd

I had this working, then tried renaming music.apk to music.apk.old because I couldn't get the syncing to work. I didnt know about the sd/media/music thing, and now no matter what i do, I keep getting FC when running JumperTest!!!

btw running S.C. 2.8

OK got most of it down, but where would I find the music.apk file to ditch it?

Never mind, didnt realize that root explorer has a search function....learning it all in baby steps...lol

OK I am in the same boat. Running SC 2.8 pretty much OOTB (only Root explorer, Launchpro and Handcent installed)

Followed the 5 year old instruction manual, and have everything set up as shown.

Sync works fine in the accounts area, but when i go to fire up Jumptest, I get a continuous FC.

 

[SSmaster]

This JumperTest program is freaking me out..

Init success. Staring...

Shuting dowm peer...

What is with this horrible grammar??

I did some reading at Google Music Sync Working on Rooted Android Phones and found the following info. Posted on March 7, 2011 9:12 AM

"Google's servers), you can remove the music files from the device and still stream them anywhere you have an Internet connection. This is similar to how other popular streaming music applications like Rdio, MOG, Spotify, mSpot, Rhapsody, Audiogalaxy and others work, except that here, Google is storing the music, not another company. (Presumably, unless there's a unknown partnership in effect.)"

"This hack is by no means perfect - there are issues with the app force closing (erroring out), songs only showing up in landscape mode, long sync times, no progress bar, and a host of other issues. But it is unofficial, after all."

same issue here with 2.8 superclean, when i hit startpeer get forceclose everytime tried uninstalling and rebooting still not working...any advice or should i just scrap it

Edit : figured it out made sure had the right account preferred in far right tab of jumpset, restarted appear and worked first try. Thanks for the help and info, trying not to be such a newb just not enough hours in the day to keep up

[codered18]

How do I get the Android player to play music off Google Music. I dont want the Sync, just being able to play. I got the desktop to sync from itune to Google Music Beta already, so don't want my phone to do the sync, just play off it.
