harland3 · Apr 15, 2015

None of the features seem to be working for me. On a stock 5.0.1 Nexus 5 with Google Play Music version 5.8.1836R.1787745. I rebooted after making changes in the module's interface, so I'm not sure what's going on.

Huh? Working here. Could you send me the Xposed logs/logcat? Thanks.
By the way, I have the same version.

Here's the Xposed log:

Edit: I can't get it to work on my 4.4.2 Galaxy S5 or 5.0.1 Nexus 6 either, so I'll attach those logs as well.

Thanks for the logs. Your devices have all the same problem that the classes cannot even be loaded by Xposed.. That's extremely strange, but I will look what could be wrong. I'll install the release version of my mods to test, too. Currently I still use the debug version..
Maybe proguard messes up some Xposed related stuff. I'll use the proguard config file of my other module instead of the default config for next release and see if it helps.

Same issue here, CM12.1 (lollipop 5.1) on klte (Galaxy S5) seeing the exact same errors in xposed.log. Awaiting update

Do you think you would be able to solve the issue of the sdcard stored tracks sorted in the wrong order in the playlists of the GPM app?

Some links talking of this issue:
http://productforums.google.com/for...video$20-videos/play/hXvN2I6CR48/NhDtzbPgXwYJ
http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/50425/wrong-playlist-order-in-google-play-music-app
http://appdev.binaryappdev.com/2013/08/02/wrong-playlist-order-in-google-play-music-app/
http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-nexus/help/google-play-music-app-wrong-song-t2390804

This bug is incredibly annoying, it hasn't found any solution from Google since 3 years. It seems to come from the music storage algorithm used by the GPM app itself which totally messes up the order of playlists at each opening of the app. For some reason, GPM app does'nt use the music storage database of Android like any other music players do.

I don't really know how complex it could be to solve this, I'm just curious to get your opinion. If you think it could be solved easily with your Xposed module, I can't wait for it!

You would basically do more than Google teams in 3 years ^^ That would be amazing if you find someday a fix for that, thanks =)

JoaoMarcos · Apr 18, 2015

Working like a charm.

PS: edit first post

mondohow · Apr 18, 2015

You are a BOSS. First MaxLock and now this.. Working perfect on N5 and I can't wait to see what you release next.

Finally someone working on GPM. Much appreciated.

I'd like to request an equalizer shortcut

niikoo · Apr 18, 2015

Request

Do you think it's possible for you to fix offline mode. I can't queue songs or use play next in offline mode (without internet connection)

You asked, you got. Download latest version from Xposed repo!

I'm in a total rush, THREE releases on one day

EDIT: well, I meant rush and not rage… it's not easy

Did I mention that v1.2 also make the previously ugly overflow button black to fit the other icons?

HATe410 · Apr 19, 2015
