[Eee Pad Transformer General] gottahavit:
the one comment i will make is i was and am amazed how good this screen is even out in the daylight. Yes it will reflect if you have the sun shine right on the tab however the lcd fade is amazingly small and i find mine very useable even in bright sunlight. This is the firstntab i've usdd that has been ueealble outside.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ClevelandWheeler:
I use the kindle app and love it!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Darkgage:
One of a tablet I feel is for reading and so I am very picky about this capability. I would say that for comic books it is perfect. For reading PDF's with EZPDF it is perfect. You can see so much more and there is rarely any need to double tap to zoom in on the text. For books, I have to say that I prefer my galaxy tab for its size and its native ebook reader. I don't use Kindle or any other corporate solutions. The native reader is missing only one key feature which is the ability to read it a night in nightmode. Aside from that is good. The page turn animations are a bit too fast. I really like the native ebook app on the original galaxy tab, it even as page turn sounds, unneeded for sure, but nice to have nonetheless.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] FrayAdjacent:
I prefer to use Aldiko, as it does the 'night mode', reversing the colors (black background, white text) and makes it easier on the eyes. The sliding brightness function is also hella nice. Thusly I always try to find books in a non-drm ePub format.

The one thing I don't like is how glossy the screen is. It becomes distracting trying to angle it so I'm not getting glare off of the lights around me.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ClevelandWheeler:
Kindle does that too and it's free.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wynand32:
I actually use three devices for ebook reading: my Samsung Epic for when I'm, e.g., standing in line waiting for my lunch order; my Nook 3G for reading in direct sunlight (the TF screen is good, but nothing beats e-Ink); and my TF for reading most of the time and particularly when I need to make annotations on what I'm reading.

I use the Nook client on all three, so that notes/annotations and last read page all sync. It's a great system, and I'm reading more now than I ever have.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ClevelandWheeler:
Kindel does that too...lol
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jjsoviet:
Actually, I use Google Books more because it has most of the features I need for reading e-books. However, I still have Kindle installed for kicks. :P

Here's what it looks like on night mode:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ClevelandWheeler:
I dont understand. Kindle has all those option too.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] adiliyo:
the problem i have with kindle or google books, is that you can't sideload any of the books you already own, i've been using moon+ reader pro, and it seems to work fine.

i wish i could add my own books to either kindle or google books, because i really like their UI's (especially google books on HC)

i think the nook apps let you add your own books too...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ClevelandWheeler:
You can if they are in .mobi or if you convert them to .mobi....lol
[Eee Pad Transformer General] GwynBleidd:
I was always strongly against reading books from any backlit screen, that's why I was going to buy a E-Ink reader (for several years, lol).

Thank God I didn't - because I'm reading books from my Transformer all the time now, wherever I go. There are like 2.5 Gb of books on it :D

Very comfortable and nice. I'm using FBReader, and all my books are in .fb2. It also has a bunch of extremely detailed options, screen tap areas, very flexible day/night modes, etc, etc. I can't look at any other reader after it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] myself11:
For .pdf, I recomend RepliGo Reader or ezPDF.

Regarding TF's display, I think it's superb for browsing, but a bit more straining for e-book reading than my HTC HD2, because the white is more "warm". Personally, I prefer a display with a more cold ou "bluish" white, because I don't need to crank brightness up to have clarity. I would like to try Galaxy Tab 10.1, but the oversaturated colors are a drawback to e-book reading, though I prefer its white.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jcX4ever:
Mantano Reader + TF = Utimate reading machine!

Mantano lets me highlight stuffs, read the book for me, and lot more.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] GwynBleidd:
<Shameless ad>

And that's one of the reasons I'm using FBReader for .fb2, it allows you customize font type, size, weight, color, line height, align, margins, background color, background image, different custom styling for headers and other parts.

</Shameless ad>

:D

Seriously, someone should make a kernel like hardcore's Speedmod for GalaxyS - which allows manipulating color temperature right from CWM.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] myself11:
Didn't know that was possible.

Gonna try FBReader.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wynand32:
It sure does, and I use it as well.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] madsquabbles:
I prefer fbreader too because of all the options.

to me the tf is a goo daytime reader but it doesn't get dim enough for night reading. I read with red text black bg.

the galaxy tab 10.1 gets even dimmer than the load and brighter, making it better for my day and night reading. plus no bleeding. that black bg really shows the bleed even at lowest brightness.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] myself11:
Could you take a picture comparing? That would be nice.

Samsung likes to oversaturate colors. Do you think 10.1's white is to intense, so to speak, thah it strains your eyes? Or is as soft as Transformer?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] GwynBleidd:
Screen Filter app, free from market, if you want to dim the screen past the minimum.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] madsquabbles:
doesn't work well. it only puts a black transparency over your screen. the gt101 actually dims the backlight.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] GwynBleidd:
I know, but isn't the result essentially the same, especially in readers? I used to use screen filter all the time on galaxy s when reading at night, but now im always reading from TF and i don't feel the need for it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] madsquabbles:
no, it's not the same, placing a transparency doesn't lower the led output so the black bg doesn't get darker an the red text turns reddish black. i used this a while back and didn't like it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] magicpork:
there's no way to lower the LED output in the TF.. galaxy tab 10.1 is using a very different screen.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] GwynBleidd:
Ah well, never noticed this on Galaxy S because there's no such thing as a 'darker black' on superamoled because the black is actually black.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] knoxploration:
Never thought I'd find myself liking ebooks, but I'm about to start reading my 4th purchased novel on my Transformer.

I'm using Google ebooks largely because I like the scanned pages mode, although typically none of the (old) novels I've purchased has had a scanned version. Never really use night mode, as even in a completely dark room I find the minimum screen brightness easier on the eyes than a white-on-black screen.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dfin13:
Nook user here. I like that you can sideload ePub files, and I prefer the way it handles landscape with two pages. Plus I've got a couple of magazine subscriptions from B&N and it's easier to just use one app for everything.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] leonpr:
I use the following

PC: Calibre for management / conversion.

Phone & Tablet: ebooks - Moon+, PDFs - EZPDF, Comic/Manga - Komik

and last my not least... A Kindle running... kindle! as nothing beats e-ink.

All books etc sync'd over multiple devices via DropBox.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] tornadog:
I use the nook app for reading epubs, ez pdf reader for mags in pdf format and perfect viewer for comics in cbz and cbr format. Its amazing how good the TF is as a ereader, I no longer need the nook color.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Kirby Baker:
Been a while since I messed with the Kindle app, but one thing I couldnt make it do (maybe it cant?) is landscape 2 page view. Is that supported in the Kindle app?
[GT540 Optimus General] Danzano:
anygood reviews?
[GT540 Optimus General] jhonnyx1000:
Implementation

Are you implying App2SD? You can move applications straight to the SD card as it automatically makes an 'asec' partition in the SD card without wiping your data. Some ROMs can do that. You need an 'ext2' partition for App2SD and root permissions.
[Wildfire General] StarF:
so with the alphaRev X i managed to get s-off, and to get all the way to getting cm7 on my phone. So that´s greath, how ever everytime i try to install something from the marked that is bigger than 4-5mb i just cancles the download, with out giving any error. Smaller apps work fine, how ever google maps, angry birds and so on. Does any got an idea how to fix this?
[Wildfire General] AloneInShadow707:
I had the same problem exept I couldn't download ANYTHING. Try flashing another Kernel, that's what fixed it.

I tried this one here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=995301
[Wildfire General] StarF:
witch of the kernels did you use? and did you use it with cm7 ? i got a feeling its a cache folder that is messed up. not something kernel releated.
[Wildfire General] StarF:
this worked:

1. Backup SD Card

2. Partition your SD Card with Rom Manager (I used 512mb/64mb swap)

3. Install Simple2Ext (You can find it in the Android Market)

4. Open Simple2Ext and toggle on 'Download Cache'.

5. Now, reboot your phone and you should be able to install Angry Birds/Maps/Other big apps.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Palhaitus:
So I was odin'ing back to stock from bionix (forget which) and it failed. I've done this flash more times than i can count from various ROMs, kernels, etc... and never had a problem. However this time it failed, and I can't get back to download mode.

I've found that the best way to get to download mode for my phone is to hold both volume buttons and plug in the USB. This doesn't work, I just get the " phone ! computer " screen every time. power button and bottom volume gets the same, as does power and both up and down. Power and volume up goes to the "POWER RESET or UNKNOWN UPLOAD MODE" screen.

So, does anyone have any ideas aside from picking up a JIG? it's shipping tomorrow probably.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djquick:
Take your phone into a T-Mobile store and tell them you flashed your phone to a custom rom and now it won't boot up. Then ask them to exchange your phone for a new one; see if that works.:p
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Palhaitus:
Well, at least you bothered to type it out instead of copying and pasting from the other thread xP
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Salithox:
use the search button.

If your getting the phone ! computer screen. your not bricked at all, just us Odin to flash back to stock. the Screen your seeing is just another form of download mode. but if you really want to get back into download mode, pull everything from the phone.

Sim, mem, battery.

make sure the USB is plugged into the PC with Odin open.

plug the USB into the phone.

put the battery in while holding the volume rocker and it should boot into DL right away.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] madsquabbles:
here's asus's version of the browser apk.

you get the thumbscrolling and working labs.

you lose being able to back page from a flash site (takes about 4-6 quick backs to go back) and you lose some ua strings. only tablet, desktop and mobile-phone are available, so since you can't pick ipad some html5 sites won't stream right since they haven't added android tablet recognition.

back up your browser and browser.odex files.

would it be possible to come up with our own custom browser when source is released?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] G1_enthusiast:
why dont you just use the one from your tablet?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] madsquabbles:
missing labs option so no quick controls for those who may want it and missing thumb scroll bar.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] jaybizza:
No offense but you might wanna return your tablet then.. :DWhich version do you have and why would you wanna lose those features??? Just saying..
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] NeutronBomb:
Those are very nice features but not worth keeping a transformer or xoom over the tab 10.1.

I'm wondering though now that I'm rooted if I can just use this to replace the stock browser completely.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] NeutronBomb:
Woohooooo. Replaced the stock browser that came with it and installed this one into the system/app folder. Working great... man I missed my thumb controls. Moreso because of the fullscreen mode...I hated how the address bar took up so much real estate.

Nice!!! Congrats!! I'm glad it all worked out..:cool:

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] xManMythLegend:
What is the best way to go about installing this ?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Sakurina:
@madsquabbles: If you have enough patience to read and write Dalvik bytecode, you can make your own mods to the Honeycomb browser today. I modded my Galaxy Tab 10.1's browser to use Duck Duck Go instead of Google as default search, and it works fine. (For the patch and helper scripts, see github/Sakurina/mitsuki. I'd link, but not enough posts for that yet.)

@xManMythLegend: Back up the browser, uninstall the browser using the commands from CyanogenMod's wiki (the "Make a barebones system" page linked on the front page), and then installing the apk should work via adb. If you don't uninstall the browser beforehand, you'll run into an inconsistent certificates error message.

The downside is that using a custom browser breaks delta updates such as the 3.1 update; it tries to modify the browser, can't find it, and bails out.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] xManMythLegend:
Thanks. Without root wasn't sure ...it'd been awhile :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] madsquabbles:
being that i want to make sure i stay rooted i'll only upgrade via custom roms or after root is found.

but thanks for the tip. i'd have quite a bit of learning to do in order to start playing with the code. maybe i'll dig around for the heck of it and see what samsung did to fix the back page button for flash sites.

i've got the xoom apk and gonna try that tonight and see what it offers.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] xManMythLegend:
Please report back. Want to have best browsing option, this one seems to be 3 steps forward one step back.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] xManMythLegend:
Cant install this. Tried adb and terminal both telling me read only.

ADB finds device adb shell doesnt respond to remount

terminal just says read only file when i try to remove.+

Rooted earlier today , updated sdk. Any thoughts ?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] madsquabbles:
i believe you have to type "adb remount" first then you can write to the system.

i use root explorer b/c is easier for and i don't have to use a pc.

here's the link for the xoom browser. i didn't get a chance to try it out yesterday.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14691456&postcount=4
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] xManMythLegend:
I have not tried adb for quite some time so perhaps there is a problem with commands or the order I am trying. It always finds the device. Adb shell starts fine but fails on remount.

Root explorer also gave me read only but I was trying to replace the apk as I failed to uninstall per cyanogen wiki.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] madsquabbles:
you have to click the r/o r/w button at the top in root expl (if this doesn't work then you're either not rooted, haven't installed su, or haven't given root expl su permissions). then rename your browser.apk to browser.apk.bak (or whatever) and same with the browser.odex. it's probably safer to back them up to you pc too.

then copy over the other browser.apk and fix the permissions.. forgot what it is, but it has to be the same as all the other apks 644 i think. reboot and launch the browser.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] xManMythLegend:
Thank you. Got it working with root explorer.

Had to look up what 644 was.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] jhkang680:
So, I tried to root this phone and I used SuperOneClick and successfuly rooted it.

Afterwards, I downloaded ROM Manager and installed the nightly 53 from Cyanogenmod 7.

I checked Wipe Data & Cache, Wipe Dalvik Cache;

Afterwards, it went to the clockwork recovery; (the orange screen) installed it successfully from the SD card;

Afterwards, Cyanogenmod didn't boot correctly and got looped so i had to pull the battery; then restarted;

it loaded correctly but welcomed me with a series of force closes;

THE PROBLEM:

1. wi-fi doesnt work; when it restarts, it resets all the accounts and settings i've worked on;

2. the orange clockwork recovery mode won't start; instead, it goes to android system recovery <3e>; at that; there are four options that i can go up and down to wipe data/factory reset and all those options

but cannot click on the option; the power button doesn't do anything; the home button makes it disappear;

3. when i go to the terminal; su doesn't work; it goes permission denied;

rom manager won't restart into flash recovery to install new nightly;

so what have i done? what do i do?

I would just like to go back to stock;
[T-Mobile LG G2x] brian6685:
Why don't you try posting this in the nightly thread or read a little. Your posting in the wrong place.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Danishswag:
I'm guessing you won't be able to, but try turning on the phone by holding the power button and volume down. There's a chance this will take you to recovery, at which point you can wipe and re-flash.

Technically, rom manager only does a "fake" flash of cwm, so that's why it probably will not.

Otherwise, you can probably use adb somehow, but that's outside of my knowledge.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] davit1979:
Had the same issues, but you shouldn't use nigh builds as your main rom. if you do use build 105

If you can access ROM manager try flashing recovery

If I helped in anyway feel free to thank me
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nonmindo:
Did you install cwm using nvFlash or rom manager? If you didn't install cwm using nvFlash you will need to do that first. Using rom manager is only a "fake flash" for our phone and the recovery is only temporarily installed.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dnichols4:
Read the nightly thread from around when 53 came out. Several people had this issue, myself included.

Solution is to just flash a different nightly on top of 53.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nonmindo:
But first u MUST install cwm with nvFlash
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Ayocuz:
Got to use NV flash that will fix your problem

yuppp that nvflash is the first step, never use rom manager to flash cwm, im my opinion rom manager is garbageeee, i never use it

Hey, Grizzld - Out of curiosity, are you running Win7 or Vista? Whenever I run a program that accesses PC hardware, I generally do a "Run as Administrator" to prevent any potential hardware lockouts.
