Google Music & GmusicFS

The latest update to Google Play Music has really annoyed me. Nothing due to the interface (I’m fine with that), but it Force Closes every few minutes, and I keep getting the message ever y 5-10 minutes as it tries to sync so I’ve uninstalled it. But obviously this means I no longer have access to my Google Music library.

Not exactly true.

Using a tool released on XDA Developers, called GMusicFS (Google Music Filesystem), you can actually use any other player (WinAMP, PowerAMP, Rocket Player) to play your Google Music, because GMusicFS turns a directory on your SD Card into a pseudo-library, which is actually the Google Music library.

It seems to work, but does require a rooted device.

Here’s the link if you want to try it out yourself:

iCan’t: 5 Things Android Users Take For Granted and iPhone Users Just Can’t Do

Zombies, Run! | What’s next for Zombies, Run! 2?

From the ZR blog (Zombies, Run! | What’s next for Zombies, Run! 2?)

And this was mentioned in my previous posts here and here, before they blogged it. :D

Since the launch of Zombies, Run! 2, we at Six to Start have continued to work hard on the game. We’re producing bug fixes, feature updates and more for not only the iOS and Android versions of the game, but ZombieLink too.

To start off, we’ve released ZombieLink Mission pages today. This is a huge update to ZombieLink, which allows you to track which missions you’ve completed and view detailed information for each one. On each mission page you’ll not only see your related run logs and a description of each individual story clip, but you’ll be able to listen back to them, too. And by default, we’re hiding spoilers so you won’t see details from missions you haven’t played.

We’re really pleased to deliver such a regularly requested feature. Be aware, though – you can only hear clips from missions you’ve previously completed.

We’ve also released an update for the Android version of Zombies, Run! 2 today. This includes a bunch of bug fixes, as well as the highly anticipated re-introduction of Radio Mode. So if you’ve already rushed through all the story missions and sidequests which have been released so far, you can jump straight to Radio Mode on your next run. Next on the list are Race Missions, which we’ll be adding to the Android version of the game as soon as we can.

We’re not going to run out of new stuff to add to either the iOS or Android versions of Zombies, Run! 2 anytime soon. As well as bug fixes and tweaks, we’ve got plans to improve the base builder even further, plus some other secret stuff which we can’t discuss quite yet. We’ll also be adding supply missions and the codex back to the game, so look out for all that in the coming months!

 

Missions Page

It looks like Six to Start are working on a missions summary/progress page:

The content of this page is dependent on your progress.

Along with Season 1 and Season 2 missions, there are also the Side Missions (S1-S3 at the moment), but there’s also RACE missions, which appear to be distance targetted instead of time targetted. These race missions range from 5K (approx. 3 miles) to 20K (approx 13 miles – this is also almost a Half Marathon distance.) It doesn’t appear to be available for me yet, but it may be because I haven’t completed my rerun of Season 1 yet (just finished Mission 15 out of 23.)

The distance missions would be perfect for my long runs.

Zombies, Run! 2

I think I’ve managed to fix the problem with the sync on ZR2, but a consequence is that I lose around 4 of my runs.

Also, the base cannot continue being built because the “Spanners” which are used for building are only issued as part of Season 2 missions.

It looks like I’m not the only one to get p***sed off by the upgrade.
