I saw a few posts on Phandroid and other websites about certain phones like the Evo 4g on CM7 that had installed the music.apk file from honeycomb and enabled Google Music Sync. Is there anything anyone here can do to enable this in ours? I'm willing to help and not just sit around twiddling my thumbs. I'm a noob but I do have the Android SDK running as well as eclipse set up and I have a Windows 7, OSX and Ubuntu so let me know.

It an older beta version that only syncs what's on the phone already to the cloud. No one to my knowledge has found a way to sync from a PC to the cloud yet, and that's where most people store their entire music collection.
If you want to easily stream your music collection on your PC, then try audiogalaxy.

So we can't access the music from the cloud with our xoom?

That music app will sync but it is only seems to work on froyo & gingerbread versions of android. I have synced my music then removed my music folder from my sd card and I am still able to stream all of my music from the cloud.
So far, no one has been able to get honeycomb to do this. The .apk will install but, our version of the Android OS will not sync to the cloud. You will notice that in the accounts sync, there is no music sync option in your google account.
I'm sure this will be addressed eventually. After a few days of syncing, I would love to be able to steam my cloud music from any computer or device.
That's what I thought I synced everything with my evo then deleted my music and was able to play all my music and since the app was pulled from honeycomb I thought I was going to be able to access it on my xoom.....which would be insane!

hi,just got my n7 and playing about with itjust wanted to know how i go about getting storage on google cloud and how it works basically,cheers
There really isn't a unified "Google Cloud."
Google drive is used for basic file storage and editing. 5GB for free.
Google music will store up to 20,000 songs.
Google+ is used for photo storage.
Basically each service has its own cloud and they can all be accessed by 1 Google account.
Hope that helps!

The widget for the Google Play Library (magazine, book, etc.) doesn't display anything. Where is it drawing the info from? Do I have to login separately for it to work?
Are you login to your Google account on your device?

Yes, I'm logged into my main Gmail account, receiving mail and can connect to the Play Store no problem. The other Play widgets work find, however the Library one that shows your magazines, books, etc is completely blank.
Or maybe a widget that allows your Google Play Magazines to be displayed like a magazine rack
Has anybody been able to get Google Play Music All Access running on the MOTOACTV? I've manually installed the latest .apk for Play Music, but when I got to Settings > Select Google Account, no accounts are listed.
Ideally, I'd like to connect to All Access while I'm on WiFi and select a few playlists for 'make available offline' so I can listen while outside running. I already do this with Spotify, but I'd like to be able to use Google.
Thanks.

Which Rom are you using? How'd you install it? Are you signed in to Google Play?
Glad you asked, ClearD. Why, I'm using the best ROM available: ClearDroid ACTV 1.1.9 T5. :good:
I installed Google Play Music by using the Play store on the device itself (and using the market search app included on the ROM).
The Google Play store shows it's associated with my account, and I have what I believe to be the latest version of Google Play Services.
Version info for each if it helps:
Play Store: 3.9.16
Google Play Services: 3.1.59
Play Music: 5.1.1106
When I open Play Music, it asks for me to select an account, but none are listed.
Thanks.
I wonder if an older version might work? I seem to remember someone using an older one a while back...

Hi all,
I have actually had Google Play music indeed work! The default DPI setting is too large to show your account listed, so I changed the build.prop to 90 and used a rotation control app to show more of the application. In the settings, chose account, you then can see a add new account and also a space where your account would be listed. After a little wild clicking in the area, you should be set up to go.
An alternative I first played with was during the initial setup of the motoactv on a new rom, side loading the play music apk and adding your existing Google account through the app before any others.
*an issue* what I've seen is that the first play of any library song works great, even over Bluetooth tethering of the phone. However, something is amiss with caching. the second time listening to the same song, the motoactv will say it plays but no sound will play. Deleting the cache will make the song work again? I've tried both installing on SD and internal with no difference...

Thanks, barczakmark, that worked for me! As for the multiple plays of the same song caching problem, I don't seem to be having that issue.

Hi, I was wondering if you could help me add my Google Acct. I have Play Music loaded and when I go in settings to add my account I receive a message that: Server error. We are unable to connect to the server to add the account. Pleasetry again later from Settings.
Any ideas what may be blocking me?

Hello, didi you manage to get google music login working ?
I get the same "unable to connect to the server to add the account" error.
No, I never figured it out.
I never got it working and never got a reply on here that helped so I ended up reverting to the original set up.
Actually the original set up makes the device more functional for me. I use mine for exercising and running and having to navigate solely by that small touchscreen is near impossible.
I'm not using Gmail anymore, and I'm wondering what happens if I just delete my Google account in Settings/Account. Would I still be able to use the Playstore, for example, so I could just download the Google apps I want?
Welcome
This has been my experience - without a google account, none of the apps that require Google Play Services will function correctly or may fail to sync. Play store, play music, hangouts, keep, gmail, calendar, contacts, wallet, drive etc. The phone should function fine otherwise. Some people prefer to use their phone without a google account and are willing to give up the convenience of their services.

i have been thinking about this too, with kitkat it was easy to disable location service which helps with battery life, and now it seems like google is accessing my info more often, . the only google service i use it its maps,contacts and calendar but from that thread above you there is a homebrew alternative.
just use k9mail for gmails.

Doesn't that defeat the purpose? Are there any good alternatives for email service? Not a fan of Yahoo, Live/Hotmail, AOL, what else is there?
