I also use FBReader, but haven't tried the .mobi because I already converted all my .mobi to .epub (and any new books I just buy in .epub).

I also like FBReader because of the FBSync app that lets me keep it synced with my Thunderbolt. That is the reason I switched from Aldiko.
[Nook Color General] croques:
Well for a thread about reading .mobi eBooks ... good comment. Especially the more so because FbReader, by its own admission doesn't do .mobi.

FbReader is, IMHO, awkward, clunky and ugly ...but if thats what you want - go for it.
[Nook Color General] jasoraso:
From the FBreader.org about page:

Main features:

Supported e-book formats are

ePub, an international e-publishing standard.

fb2, a Russian e-books standard de facto.

plucker, one of the most popular Palm e-book format.

Non-DRM'd version of Mobipocket, a popular commercial e-book format.

More formats.

As to FBReader being "clunky" - that is indeed your opinion. I find it it no more clunky than Aldiko or other readers, and the FBSync option makes it much less "clunky" in actual use for my purposes than other readers.
[Nook Color General] Eustacia:
I use ireader for drm'd .prc / mobi books (some work, some don't) can't recall if it supports epub though.
[Nook Color General] DisneyDeeva:
I also had books in various formats. After trying many different options to read .mobi books. I finally decided the quickest and easiest thing to do was use Calibre to convert everything to .epub I'm also using a Calibre app to import my books from PC to the SD card on my NC and have found that to be much easier than mounting my Nook every time I wanted to upload a new book.

I purchased Laputa, Aldiko and tried several others but have decided that my favorite ereader for managing my large library is Moon+ Reader. I find the layout easy to navigate, the options are plentiful, developer is responsive and I really enjoy the page turning animation.
[Nook Color General] croques:
Yes, I agree Moon Reader is most excellent and certainly worthy of everyone's consideration. I used it for quite a while before landing on my current favourite;DaoCaoXie

Also agree that Calibre just sorts alomost everything out. It doesnt handle comics very well though. 'Perfect Viewer' is the best of the current bunch for cbz files.
[Nook Color General] Mumnoch:
Thanks everyone I ended up going with cool-reader and it is exactly what I was looking for.
[Nook Color General] gordboy:
I use iReader. It handles encryped .mobi, .prc, ereader, etc and stores your keys in a wallet so new titles downloaded with an existing key open automatically.

it's great if you've been stuck with a bunch of fictionwise or peanutpress files you can't read anymore!

Hey guys. I recently attempted the HTC Sense 3.0 Camera "mod" from this posting: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1084195&highlight=camera

Well, like an idiot, i did not do a proper nand backup before hand and screwed up my camera. I tried replacing the APK with the stock APK i got from androidforums, but every time i try to run the app, i get "application cannot start"

the Vignette camera i have installed works just fine, so it's got to be the APK or the permissions(i'm not sure what the correct permissions are assigned)

Could someone instruct me on the proper way to restore the camera function?

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bambam01:
So all i want to do is take everything off my 4gb sd card and use an 8gb sd card so that I have more storage space. Everything works great as is, and I wanted to keep everything as is. Just need more storage space. I've looked through the forums and haven't found anything that addresses this process. I am running CyanogenMod 7.0.3 w/a 4gb sandisk micro sd card. How do I copy so that it boots just like my 4gb card???? Thanks ahead of time for any help.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phatdawg:
I recommend just writing an image file with winimage. Then writing it to a 8gb card, then using Easeus Partition manager to expand the last partition to full 8 gb.'
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bigtuna00:
Do you boot from the SD card or eMMC?

If it's the latter, just copy the contents of the old card to the new one.

If it's the former, I recommend a fresh install; use a backup program (MyBackup, Titanium Backup) to back up your Apps and Data and then restore when you're done with the fresh install.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itisrd:
I'd like to do this as well.. in response to previous reply.. there are 4 partitions (boot, 2 other and last one with your data) do I have to create 4 different images with winimage or just for the first boot partition or does the winimage creates the image of the whole msd card?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phatdawg:
The winimage will create a 4 gb image of your card on the 8 gb cards including existing partitions. What you'll need to do is get the largest partition to expand to the whole card. Assuming that the 4gb install on SD is the same as an 8 gb install if you did it fresh.

If the partitions are set different for 8 gb on a fresh install, you're better off just doing a fresh install and use titanium backup as the other guy said.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bigtuna00:
That's a good point, the Size-agnostic SD installer uses different partition sizes for everything except the boot partition depending on the size of the card.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bambam01:
I tried winimage first to see if it even worked. Which it didn't. I didn't try to expand the existing partition. It just booted as a normal nook. You would think this would be a easy process but.... Lol, always new challenges. Guess that's why I enjoy doing this.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bambam01:
Well I tried yet again w image, expanded the partition. Still. Didn't work. I must be missing something. How hard can it be to make a copy of a bootable card? Must b brain dead today! Any other thoughts? Thanks!
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BobK46:
I have done this several times, and I recommend downloading easus todo backup free. Then place both sdcards in a card reader, run todo backup and just copy the 4g to the 8g and expand the fourth partition right there in todo.

This applies especially if you want to copy to same size sd's, as you will not run into the usual image sizing issues.

Hope this helps
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phatdawg:
I don't know what you're doing wrong. before expanding the partition, make sure the sd boots, if it doesn't, then there's a problem with image being read or written as opposed to the partition.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Requia:
I also had a problem with a new SD card not booting that I fixed by using the nook (that is the core nook OS) to reformat the card, then put the image onto the SDcard (shouldn't have changed anything as far as I know, but it did anyway).
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itisrd:
Ok I tried this and it worked flawlessly. Used win32diskimager to "read" my 4gb sd with cm7 image. and then used "write" to 8gb sd card. It cloned 4 gb original image with 4 partitions and one unused partition of 4 gb. After that used easeus partition manager(latest version) to format unused pattition to fat32 and then merged with last partition of 2gb (move/resize) ..so now I have 6 gb of data partition which i can use to transfer files or move apps from nook's internal drive. The new 8gb card with cm7 image booted without any issues keeping my original settings of 4gb. One thing to mention that somehow it did not work on one pc with windows xp (kept getting write error on win32diskimager program)but worked on my laptop with windows 7.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phatdawg:
That is exactly how I have done it in the past as I described in my first post. I don't know why a person would have trouble with it unless there was a format issue (i.e. ntsf, etc).

Hey,

I recently did a hard reset on a GT-I9000T, and now the home button is not working. I tried to do it again and again still doesnt work.. It still has the original firmware (unflashed/changed).

Anyone have any idea what's going on or how i can fix it? As i cannot continue flashing a new rom without the home key not working..

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

[Acer Iconia A500] Bec07:
They're supposed to be in /clockwork mod on your micro-sd car, provided you've don a backup. Or you can download them.

@haakuturi

No, I've tried even if you can download the update, it will fail installing. Tried with pre 3.1 updates.

@sc2k

Thanks, fixed. But don't the checksums change after we flash the partitions?

[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
So, a question... If the Restore function in CWM doesn't restore properly, does it backup properly? That is, if I manually restore the files that CWM made when it backed up, will it restore properly or did the backup miss something?
[Acer Iconia A500] Bec07:
I don't think it backs up properly either. At least not by all checksum standards.

My backup is CWM and I can't restore it with "dd" no matter what. Thor's works but I suspect it's not CWM.

Scrap that! CWM works just fine!
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
Well that's bloody annoying... :/

If I'd known that, I'd have manually backed up my stock ROM...

[Acer Iconia A500] wolfman8:
can i do the "proper" backup from within the tablet with something like connectbot that has sdcard writing permissions without rooting?
[Acer Iconia A500] Bec07:
Probably with terminal emulator and busybox too
[Acer Iconia A500] sanaell:
I think that was 1.016.01 but I do remember the first update I got was 1.139.04 pushed by OTA

THailand :D
[Acer Iconia A500] Euclid's Brother:
I'm not aware of any problem with the backup/restore with CWM. I'll try to do some testing to see. The boot, recovery images from CWM should work with the dd command, but the system and data are compacted in a YAFFS2 format and cannot be used with the dd command.

I know the initial version did not run itsmagic automatically, so the checksum of boot would be off after a restore, but that was fixed.
[Acer Iconia A500] spaanplaat:
Not sure if this helps but my a500 came with Acer_A500_1.105.01_EMEA_GEN3.

I live in the Netherlands and i have a backup which contains flexrom system and boot.img as well as the update.zip to get it to version Acer_A500_1.141.01_EMEA_GEN3

[Acer Iconia A500] Bec07:
Are you sure, it was 01 because I know mine was 01 and I'm from EU. Wasn't it 02?

Can you guys look on the back of your box, there should be a sticker "Operated Countries" that should list in what other countries the same firmware version is for.

I suspect EMEA should cover EU, Middle east and Asia, but I've got no idea why there are also separate versions

Thanks!
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] qdochemistry:
Hi guys,

I have a little issue that annoyed the heck out of me. I got WP7 on HD2 and it's running perfectly fine (except for the known driver issues). It shows on the phone that it has over 14gb of storage. When i plugged the phone in, it will sync with zune and pics from phone will sync to laptop. But I cannot sync from laptop to phone at zune indicates that i have 0mb free and 0mb used.

At first I was using XBmod rom (pre-nodo) while dual booting and so i guess it must be because i partitioned the card and have android on there. Now that I am using just the nodo-blacksideseven rom (no android), I still couldn't sync with zune for the same reason. I was just wondering if anyone has this problem or has a way to get around this. Thanks!
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] qdochemistry:
Someone please delete this post .. I resetted the phone a couple times then also formatted the card a couple times but nothing seems to work. Then I left it to charge with the laptop and once fully charged it connects to zune for storage. Used it a little bit then plug it in and the same thing happened. But it does connect when fully charged .. odd but it works :-)
[HTC EVO 3D] x56:
It looks like in the videos show with the EVO 3D, that the stereo window is some how auto adjusting. In case you don't know what I mean, I'll put it in less stereo (3d) tech terms.

With 3D everything in the image looks like it is either behind the screen, at the screen, or popping out in front of it. Traditionally that can be adjusted manually 3D viewing software or in real life when I shot with stereo slides. The part that is at the screen is called the "Stereo Window"

When I look at the videos from the EVO 3D, I can see that someone points the camera at something close and then something far, the stereo window is clearly shifting. It can make for a head ache inducing video, and I would love to know if there is a setting for turning that off.

Also, does the camera adjust the focus while shooting, or will it stay focused on where ever you focused before pressing record?

Alright everyone, Suggestions of either Synergy and BAmf Sense 3.0.

Battery life being most important what would you suggest???

Thanks
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lrs421:
Both are really good, synergy is going through a nightly process that's pretty fun to follow. They both have pretty good kernels and neither appears to have battery drain. If you're using an extended like I am you can expect about 36 hours with normal use, similar to froyo. If you're using the standard battery have a charger nearby :) The two roms aren't all that different, VIRUS and the BAMF team are both extremely talented. Flash them both, and take them for a test run. You'll likely ge 50 different opinions anyway :)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g00s3y:
I suggest you download both and try them yourself.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nmtuna:
Hey everyone if you don't have an opinion or knowledge of these roms, DON'T REPLY TELLING ME TO TRY THEM BOTH! Why have a forum to interact with other users if I wanted to test EVERY Rom blindly.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Turnyface:
The community reaches out with suggestions, but you are the user and naturally, have different preferences. Being a **** about people telling you to try each yourself is not going to get you personal opinions about the roms.

edit: from my personal experience, I've been able to supercharge my battery by wrapping my phone in aluminum foil and putting it in the microwave for 2 minutes. I get about 10 more hours of battery life than a standard charge, but YMMV.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g00s3y:
I don't know why I am going to respond to someone who obviously has an IQ of less than 40 or is less than 15 years old, but here goes...

Hi douchebag, i'm giving the OP good advice and telling him he should try each rom to see which one HE likes best. No 2 phones are the same, meaning what works great for one person, might not work great for him. Therefore he should try them both for a couple days to see which one works best for him, and gives him the features he wants, not what other people tell him he should have. No where does he ask which one is better, but he wants better battery life, which won't be so much the function of the rom, but the kernel he chooses, uses 3g/4g, how much he uses the phone, how many calls are made, etc. So with him using the phone differently form everyone else (as we all do), telling him what works best for me, may not work best for him (is this finally getting through to you?)

Your analogy was pointless, are you going to get a car just cause someone says to get it, or are you going to test drive it to see if you really like it?

nmtuna, i would go with bamf 3.0 all day right now. i love their toolkit and for some reason I've been having trouble using nerozehl's dream kernel with Synergy (the dream kernels give me the best battery life). in terms of speed too i feel like bamf wins again. everything runs smoother than synergy's, though synergy may have the slight upper hand in terms of looks (clear drop down, 5 column app drawer, and among other relatively trivial things), but that can be easily fixed.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nmtuna:
Thank you.... i did install Synergy for 5 minutes and after installing all my apps, a lot of them force closed and I couldn't connect to the web or market, via wifi or 3g....so I'm back on GingerBamf.... going to try BAMF 3.0 tonight.

*IF* battery life is most important, I'd stick to a Froyo ROM. BAMF 1.8.6 is based off the MR2.5 leak. Fast as heck and very long battery life.

[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] AidanBell:
I've created on my desktop a shortcut to a project folder on my SD card. Can anyone recommend an app that will let me set up a password for that folder?

I'm not looking to encrypt all the data in the folder, I just want password-restricted access to it. I can't find anything suitable in The Market.

Thanks.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] jim-bo:
If it's not encrypted, then its not protected.

Really, seriously, utterly, there is no way at all that you can "protect" a folder on an SD card other than encrypting the contents. Other apps, will always be able to access it, and, equally, anyone could take the card out and stick it in a PC card reader.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] AidanBell:
I appreciate that, and that's fine! I'm not looking for total protection from access, either through SD card reading or via apps. I'm just looking for password-restricted access when accessed through the desktop shortcut.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] BLKOUT!:
SmartLock will let you lock your photos/videos, as well as apps and such but I don't think it does folders. The best you could probably do would be to hide the folders using SmartLock or a similar app along those lines.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] AidanBell:
Yes, I have discovered SmartLock, thanks. But I have to say I'm not a fan at all of the whole mentality with mobile phones that data is split into storage of photos, videos, "music", etc, in separate locations and treated separately.

The folder in question contains mp3, pdf, jpg, xls and doc files.

Hiding the folder would be completely against what I'm trying to do, which is to have a clearly visible, easily accessible desktop shortcut. I guess basically I'm looking for the Android equivalent of a zip file with password.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] marvin02:
When you write desktop, do you mean homescreen or as a network shortcut on your PC? If the latter you can use the desktop's OS to protect the link.

Wouldn't the Android equivalent be a zip file with a password? ES File Explorer is free and supports password protected archives.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] AidanBell:
Sorry, terminology!

Yes, I mean the home screen on my Streak (or strictly speaking one of them!).

I already have and use ES File Explorer, that's how I created the Homescreen shortcut!

So if it turns out that what I'm looking for is already a feature of that program, then how's that for irony!
