Google Music Storage?

Does anyone where the music from google music is stored on the E4GT?
I would like to know because i've been flashing new roms like crazy lately, and every time i install a new rom i have to redownload the music again.

On mine its stored on the internal memory at /sdcard/Android/data/com.google.android.music/cache/music/

It is stored where the poster before me said. But just an fyi, I haven't been able to flash a ROM and successfully keep my offline google music. I tried copying the folder, titanium backup, etc, and it just doesn't behave right. Something is going in in google servers that flashing a rom screws with.
Old fashion flash storage is the way to go if you swap roms a lot.

"Insufficient storage available" but its a lieeee

Why does my phone give me these weird "insufficient storage" pop ups when I have free memory. I barely have any apps on my phone and I just went to update tb and it said that I have no room. Also when I move apps to sd card most of them work but some of them give me this message as well even tho I know they're lying because I know I have free memory on both the phone and sd card but I get this message and they don't let me install or move apps. Anyone have this problem before? And I've seeen it on different roms so I don't think a reflash will fix it.

First, what program is giving the error, and what segment of the memory is it trying to write to. If you are trying to write to the SD card and there is no room there, then you might have a problem with that. On the other hand, it may be another section.
Additionally, you may have downloaded a program that wants to allocate a very large chunk of space for itself. More than you have. Some games download their data when you first load them. They often check for sufficient space first. They can use well over half a gigabyte, so if your SD Card doesn't have that space free, it will error out.

I know wht you're talking about but I don't recall titanium backup needing an extra couple hundred Mbs to work lol.
Its happening with every freaking app I'm trying to download off the market or install off my sd card. And even the apps I'm trying to simply update off the market.
And I have like 4gbs free on my sd card and 500 mb free on the phones storage.

There's been several ways of going about remedying this, there's the odin to stock method, the factory reset, and the clear market data method. I've personally only tried the latter 2, and they work temporarily in my experience.

DONT REFLASH... lol titanium backup odex file is corrupt, remove it from system/app and uninstall TB, then download again

What hsppens is there are fragments of the old programs still In data that screw up the reinstall. Search with root explorer and nuke those bits. For instance if youtube app fails, search for youtube and a list of all files with that in the name will pop up. Nuke those files (don't forget to make r/w). Other option is odin and clean imstall.

yeah I got that error too
Is there a app that can automatically clean old left behind files like 1click cleanup.
Hi all, I too had that problem before when I was on stock EC05 BML and had little space on internal memory. I could not upgrade Titanuim so I got so mad that I started getting into custom roms with MTD to have more space. Also helps if you get a class 10 32gb card.
I saw that the July 15, Titanium try to download from market it failed because not enough space and I was tripping but I used the lucky and it cleaned the messed up left behind odex, then install was coolio.
I also get sometimes could not parse error on .apk and never could figure it out. I guess they are not compatible with my phone since they were not downloaded from market...

A app called SDmaid has helped me in the pass.

Thank you guys. I'm going to try now and see what happens.
Edit: okay so I searched "titanium backup" in root explorer and got nothing.

No problem, just helping out. have fun

Titanium Backup is one of the most useful programs to come along for people who root and flash. It is well worht a few bucks ($6) to guarantee working updates, support the developer, freeze apps, batch work, and to save all your data. It pains me to see a program discussed here whose sole purpose is to cheat the developer out of a few bucks.

I just had to scroll back and re- read the whole thread. The second time around I saw the app you refered to by name. After Google searching it I realized what you are talking about. I agree with your statement and am a proud owner of Titanium Backup.
He says it will get rid of all 'corrupt data'?? I don't understand...?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium

I think that this is sometimes caused by unnecessarily re-flashing the gapps when doing a dirty upgrade upgrade on cm or aokp. It also happened to me after advance-restoring data on aokp. Duplicity seems to be the main connection here. Clean installs are good for the epic's soul.

Google Play Music

So... I'm not really sure how to do this.. but I bought a 64 Gig Extra micro SD Card.. it works perfect..
When i download my google play music for offline.. i don't really have a choice to save it to the SD card.. i mean.. what's the point here?
As far as i know the only real app that I can use my EXT SD card for right now is the camera which auto saves to it.. other then that i can save Rom's and Zip's on it.. but i mean who cares.. I was really hoping to have my music saved on there.. =/
Guess ill have to manually copy the files over and not even use the google play music app?

If you manually copy the files to the extsd then the Google Play app will see them. Thats what I did and it now shows all my music as available for offline play. I'm not sure if it will put new stuff there though.

Does it do this seamlessly or is it duplicating things though? i.e. is it showing your collection twice, the online version and the offline version? I would think it would because it's looking in a different place for its offline cache.

I have been wondering the same thing. My entire collection is in google play, if I manually copy a bunch over to my SD card will it show up twice?

Mine only shows each song once. No duplicates.
Sent from my Galaxy S3 running DietICS

The google play music app shoulld work the same as the "Music" app, except now it has like 20k songs that can be streamed (in high quality too which is awesome).
So yes, as PMentior said, it shouldn't show dupes, even if you have the music uploaded.

I've noticed that 3rd party equalizer apps don't seem to work on music that is stored on the device. Are any of you guys seeing this same behavior? Seems to only happen with stock roms. AOKP seemed to work fine. Oh..in case you are curious, yes, I have changed the sound setting to point to the 3rd party app.

There is a place in the settings of the app where you can check a box that says something like "show offline music only".

I'm actually having issues now. Since the data is on the external SD card, which doesn't get mounted for a few seconds after boot, the app doesn't show up in the app drawer. I have to do a hot reboot to make it show up.
However, anyone still interested:
**STD Disclaimer** You accept all necessary risks and have created a nandroid backup like a good user.
In a file explorer capable of root:
1. go to /data/data and copy the folder com.google.android.music to /mnt/extSdCard/Android/data/
2. Now you should have com.google.android.music on your external sdcard.
3. go back to /data/data and rename the "com.google.android.music" folder to "com.google.android.music.bak" as a backup just in case.
4. In terminal emulator type (or a root adb shell):
Code:
su
ln -s /mnt/extSdCard/Android/data/com.google.android.music /data/data/com.google.android.music
5. You might need to reboot and/or hot-reboot for music to work.
6. if you want to revert these changes, just go to /data/data and delete the "com.google.android.music" symlink and rename "com.google.android.music.bak" back to "com.google.android.music"
*note*
if your Play Music app is installed as a system app, then replace the beginning of the paths with /system/data instead of /data/data
If someone can come up with a better method I am completely open to hearing it.

[Q] Loose all Photos after Flashing new Rom

I seem to be having an issue which started just recently anytime I flash a new rom or nightly release of AOKP or CM10 all the content in my DCIM/Camera seems to be gone the content in the thumbnails folder is still there but the photos at completely all gone any ideas what could be causing this issue? Thank you in advance.

The photos are gone in your internal sdcard?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

well I just checked all images are gone... internal and external photos.. images..wallpapers... just gone very strange plugged into pc and I see some of the files there for the images and the file size but can't copy any of them and on the phone the folders are just empty

Maybe you could get lucky using a data recovery tool on your sdcard. There should be some free/trial ones on the net. You just gotta search em out.
As for why....no idea. Obviously it shouldn't be doing that! Maybe the updater-script does something like format data or something...though tgat diesnt make sense either....has anyone else in the rom thread reported this too?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

Actually someone said that they had the same issue with AOSP roms and started using quickpic instead and solved the issue

I don't understand how an app could stop the files from getting deleted.

Indeed I mean my new pictures I'm taking seem to be staying but everything all of my 700 images and pictures are gone nothing left which is very strange how only all the image media got wiped on external and internal sd

I don't see why or how but is it possible they were somehow actually stored in the apps data/cache folder and just linked to the sdcard??
It seems far fetched but its the only real explanation I could come up with other than something being corrupt and not working as intended.....
That's an odd one man.
Have you looked into any data recovery tools? I've heard of some success with them dealing with flash media like sdcards.

What is changing to a new rom going to do for him? If his music is gone it's gone... Unless I'm missing something? Why isn't your music on your computer or somewhere else? How did you get it on your phone, lol? If it some where and you can't find it, pull everything from your storage places and put them on your PC and search both files with in your computer search index and see if you can find them... If they are there, then create a folder named /music and you will good to go. If they aren't there then get new music or however you got them there in the first place.

I would start putting the music somehwere other then only on phone storage, just in case. I've accidentally wiped internal storage once, and I've had External sdcards go bad or just randomly out of no where lose all data in it. make a dropbox and do TiBu once a week and move them there your self with some type of file manager if you don't wanna pay the money for Titanium Backup pro. I also bet all your stuff is there you are just looking in the wrong places. What file manager are you using to look for your "lost stuff"?

Aokp is awesome ROM. I dont mean to be rude but if you think those files are still there (in your phone) ;install different ROm or restore backup and pull al data from it. And wipe both internal and external cards. Amd install aokp and enter those files again via PC.
