Ok. I tray this on my Neo for testing and I can say its working excellent, HDMI is working with no problem as everything else. I try this one on SETweaked v5 wich one I combine with Blend rom for ARC. Keep the god work dude excellent work.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kurogana.inc:
Looks promissing, surely i'll test, but not yet...

Changing the resolution, may change the processing power as the processor might process more pixels, or I'm saying bull****?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] elgorgon:
testing and looks really nice,,,i love it!!

Doomlord kernel v13, and 042 stock rom, at 1,5.....everything goes perfectly.

Just one thing, i really loved the stock lockscreen, any chance to take it back?

[Xperia Arc Android Development] Thelolinator:
You can't just increase the pixel density or the resolution. Theoretically you could decrease it, but not increase it. The maximum resolution is 854x480, and it will remain that way. That is how many pixels are on the LCD. You can't increase pixel density without increasing..well the amount of pixels in the screen. And the amount of pixels there are on the screen is called the resolution.

So what exactly are you trying to claim? That you increased the resolution? If you did that it would just distort the screen because it's not able to display more than 854x480 pixels.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] nexus2515:
You claimed that you increased the resolution or pixel density or whatever, then you might have an answer for this too--

Comes direcly from my rooted neo having stock ROM

Arc and neo have same resolution.

Plz explain now what do you exactly mean by increasing resolution

Donate to my paypal acc. if I helped you & if u can't, atleast hit the thanx button
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Thelolinator:
Pixel density and resolution are different things. Your phone has a greater pixel density than the Arc because it has more pixels in a smaller area. Usually pixel density is measured in PPI (pixels per inch). Read up here if you don't get what pixel density is:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pixel_density
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kurogana.inc:
tested and as you changed the density, the home, app drawer en many other things became unaligned a little up and a little left, very ugly...

Another point i'd like to suggest is to take of that ZIP IT text when you pull down the notification bar, its not elegant, and has nothin HD on it

this is my report, waiting a new beta to test again...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] nexus2515:
So that means that it has no use for my neø

I installed the rom and has shown me the circle battery. All at once I return to the normal battery icon. How can that be?:confused::confused::confused:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Alfa Kenny One:
You better stop this progress dude.. :rolleyes: first of all it's not the ''resolution'' you did increased. Second of all, the ROM looks messy.. ;) and the most of all, it's not even worth it. ;)

And at the end of the song.. We all going to another ROM :rolleyes:

You may better decrease your fontsize, that will ''look'' your device with higher ''resolution'':cool:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] chitose_ndy:
One question.

How did u change the background in the setting ??
[Xperia Arc Android Development] bassie112:
I think you can edit it by replacing the background files in framework-res.apk and SemcGenericUxpRes.apk

namely:

res/drawable-hdpi/semc_bg.png

res/drawable-hdpi/semc_bg_bright.png

res/drawable-hdpi/semc_general_bg.png

res/drawable-land-hdpi/semc_bg.png

When you can find a nice one I am happy to use it for my theme :). Looking for a replacement myself.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] chitose_ndy:
Okay gonna try it later :D

I'm thinking bout honeycomb bg :D

I will report again later!

Thanks so much mate!!!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] chitose_ndy:
Can you please tell me how to compile?

Or just post the link about the compiling here..

Thankyou :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] bassie112:
You can use view it as if it is a zip-file. De backgrounds have to be png and the same size. I'm also preparing one for my v4 theme which should be up in an hour or so (waiting for UOT). But this is not the thread for that. Visit or make a thread in the themes section.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] chitose_ndy:
Okay I will make a thread on the question and answer sub-forum.

See ya, and good luck for ur v4 theme!!!

[Xperia Arc Android Development] SXUsr:

why lcd density stuck in 229 when restart? i'm prefering 220 (smaller) & need to redoing it each time phone restarting..

where to remove auto 229?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] im_bol2riz:
I don't agree regarding to stop testing it. It works very well on the HTC desire and Legend, why not on this device? It may be a matter of testing only.

Keep on testing. Look at the ratio used for HTC devices and use standard ratio.

Like in Photoshop if you not at 100%-50%-25%12,5%... Pixels will look ugly on screen.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Gaugerer:
Has anyone tried using the Galaxy Note for reading books?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] RMXO:
speaking of eBooks, does the Note come with the Ebook or Book app that are on the Tablets? I love that app & feel it's one of the best ebook readers out there when it comes to your personal ebook collection.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] guent_peer:
@Gaugerer

I bought it mainly because I thought it is superior to all other cell phones out there - I am not disappointed :D (very much the opposite!!!) I use FBReader in night mode with yellowish text color - it is absolutely fantastic on this screen! Even pdf-files start to make sense on it...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] RMXO:
but does it come with ebook app like how the tablets did?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] straxusii:
Yes, using it with the kindle app, really good. The high res screen makes reading a dream.

Of course you will suffer if you are outside in bright sunshine like any amoled/lcd screen but it is great indoors, no problems holding it with one hand either.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] guent_peer:
@RMXO

I don't own a tablet, but there's a readers hub like in case of the galaxy sll.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] RMXO:
ok, thanks. I was hoping they included the ebook app like how there is one for their tablets.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Techvir:
I mainly use repligo reader to read my pdf books. Also help to annotate.

For CHM files i use cool reader
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] fudge2011toffeebar:
is annotate pressure sensitive in repligo on it? i get mine saturday :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Techvir:
Nope. Dont think it will work that way
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] andromeda1968:
comics reader??? yes...fantastic....perfect viewer :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] manhattan212:
Are there any web browsers with similar functionality; That allow some kind of night mode or accessibility color options (like Foxit PDF reader for windows)?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] CanEpia:
No. I love the ebook app on my tab 8.9 but must use a third party app on the Note. It is better than any phone but still revert to the tab at times for reading as the battery is outstanding on tabs for this function.

Its not a problem per say, but I still havemt found a grip which is 100% comfortable for reading with the tablet while lying on my side in bed. Hahahah... never thought I'd complain about not having enough bezel!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] NZtechfreak:
I tried Aldiko reader with it, fantastic! Lots of different text colour and readability options in Aldiko. Screen Filter is also useful for reading in dim conditions like in bed.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] holgalee:
Moon+ reader has a free version that is far better than Aldiko etc :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Brenovaladares:
You can turn pages by tapping instead of sliding, playing on the right side?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] LordManhattan:
If you like reading, then you all need to download Google's new "Google Currents" app. It's freaking beautiful, and of course awesome.

Americans can get it from the Market, while the rest of the world can download the APK from here.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] RMXO:
Yeap [10 char]
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] linzgeneral:
I think ebooks is actually one of the Note's better attributes. Ebooks look exceptional on it.

---------- Post added at 04:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:51 PM ----------

Aldiko reader far > Moon + Reader.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] berwhale:
I've (re)read Neuromancer by William Gibson, The Line War by Neal Asher and numerous short stories on the Note. I use the free Kobo Reader application, it has a night mode (white on black) and works great.

I've used FBReader, have paid copies of Aldiko and Moon+, but I still prefer Kobo. It doesn't have as many features, it's just a lot cleaner somehow.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Tiamath99:
Im trying moon reader and in not still convinced that its better than aldiko.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] 3_D:
+1. Same here. I still prefer Aldiko. To each their own!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] RickB4:
Yes, I specifically bought the Galaxy Note so I could have a decent size screen on my phone for reading! It's great since it's always with me.

It comes with Polaris Office, which can also read PDF files. Not a bad reader and better than many other free options available. Since this is one of the main reasons I bought this device, I wanted more features like scroll lock, night mode and sticky notes. After trying out over 13 different readers (including being stuck with a RepliGo purchase, thanks Google), I found and love ezPDF Reader. It's great.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] EarlZ:
Its great i use it for manga reading, sometimes the pentile grid ( faint horizontal lines ) gets annoying but its doing a decent job as an ebook or plainly reader for anything.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] oms1000:
Yep, been using the Kindle app and it works great. For the size and weight I originally thought it might be superior to my actual Kindle 4.

No such luck. The E-ink display and actual button page turns on a real Kindle can't be beaten. But still, the G-Note comes a very worthy second, and better/handier than any other phone or tablet for e-reading.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kromosto:
SGN is the best ebook phone in the market. Actually not just the phone only better devices then SGN for ebook on the market is 7"-8" tablets or readers.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tamarian:
Can't think of anything better to read ebooks. Tablets or Nook can be heavy for reading in bed, especially on your side, while small screen devices with lesser resolution won't hold as much text.

Try installing the Roboto font as default, makes even better.

There's a tweak for Opera mobile posted in the themes and apps area that allows forcing a custom CSS file on websites, rendering pages white text on black blackground.

Is there a Goodreader equivalent for Android? I love how Goodreader permits me to annotate PDF files and all for the iPad. Is there an Android equivalent?

I use Aldiko primarily (for epub and pdf) and Amazon Kindle for mobi files.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] gaolinde:
reading comic became easy and comfortable after purchased Note, one of the reason i could never go back to normal screen is the ability of reading comic with portrait full page, which is impossible with small screen no matter in what kind of resolution.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] willstay:
I liked dark theme available in Laputa. Right now using Aldiko but for some reason I couldn't settle with any of the available font. Switched to Kindle and reading 'The girl with the dragon tattoo'.

Kindle font is just right for my eyes.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Brazen9000:
Hi, I'm getting my Note at Christmas.

I have 100's of ebooks on EPUB and PDF on my computer. Can I drag them into any of the E-Readers that I can get for the Note?

Thanks for any info on this :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] gramessh:
Moon Reader is another great eBook reader. And its free.

I have to say the Note is the best device I have read on.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] suomaf:
can anyone please try to install barnes and noble nook and see if the note is a "tablet" or "phone" You can only view your magazines subscriptions on a "tablet"
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tamarian:
On attempting to read magazines/newspapers, It gives "This title cannot be viewed on this device" error.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] suomaf:
much appreciated. too bad magazines can't be read, would have been awesome. That is one of the only reason why I am still hanging on to the tablet.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dotvoid:

Moon Reader

Try the free app moon reader, this device is the best when it comes reading e-books! (+ everything else.)

I was an owner of kindle, iphone 4, and an ipad as well. Now no need to none.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] linzgeneral:
Its recognized as a tablet and treated as such by the Nook app. The magazines look spectacular on the screen. Lots of color and clarity. I tried to get a Kindle app that would try to treat the Note as a tablet too but cant find one.

---------- Post added at 09:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:52 AM ----------

Not so on mine. I have about ten magazine trials right now on the Note through the Nook App, they all look amazing. I plan to cancel at about day 10 of the 14 day trials to avoid getting charged,,,heheee.....

---------- Post added at 09:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:54 AM ----------

Love the Kindle app but boy it is limited. Its is a joke compared to the features on the Nook app. You can't even change the font for crying out loud. No animation on page turns and the list goes on. I have yet to find a version that treats the Note as a tablet as does the NOOK app.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] elfary:
How taxing is it on the battery the epub reading folks?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] galaxytab1:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] gbharani:
Does anybody have a pic or video of using the note to read comics or google currents
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Cxpher:
I believe the latest version of Kindle for Android officially supports pdf. Should be able to annotate.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Cxpher:
Although I'd reckon getting an actual Kindle Touch 3G would be best for this.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] saumil@xda:
Adilko or moon reader

has anyone tried both and able to list pros & cons? it seems different people (or need) have different choice but comparison would help a lot to many.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] macwilson:
You really you it to yourself to get a Kindle (sorry). Get one with the advertisements. These only show when it's off, and they are actually better than what you would see without it (screen savers).

You save about 30% this way. Also, get the cheapest one, as simpler is better (as well as lighter and better (less smudges) viewing).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] stopa10:
I have been using PDAs as ebook readers for years now, and I have to say that the Note is a totally different experience. I prefer to read books in .epub format, rather than .pdf. There are various converters to this end.

Also, I use FBReader with night mode: excellent readability and very battery-friendly.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] YFY:
I see hardly anyone mentioned about "Cool Reader". It is good and easy to use.

Personally, I prefer the "Moon Reader" and I also noticed that no one mentioned about the ability of using the Audio feature of this reader. The Galaxy Note has TTS voice to read the eBooks and it is fun to read the books as an "Audio Book" if want wishes to rest the eyes. You can also read and hear at the same time.

Just got my Galaxy Note for about one week and found this to be a fantastic phone and PDA. I am holding back getting a Tablet for the time being.:o:):o:)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] orinoco:
I found it to be quite taxing on the battery life. The Note seems to drain a lot of battery when the screen is on.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] berwhale:
Did you change to night mode? i.e. Light text on black background.

The Note uses an AMOLED screen. AMOLED is an emissive technology without the usual LCD backlight. This means that power is only drawn by the active pixels on the screen, so less light pixels = lower battery drain.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] galaxytab1:
To dim screen further from 0% brightness, use "screen filter"
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] orinoco:
Nice trick, I had not really thought of that (thanks). I'll try reading on a black background to see the effect on battery life.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] yesbee:
Tried all and settled with Mantano Reader... I would rate 'Go reader' next to Mantano..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] undrwater:
Another vote for fbReader. Favorite of all I've tried. Moon is also good, but it takes me too long to configure to my needs. :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] fards:
Moon+ reader for me.

been through most of them over the years, its very very well executed piece of software, I don't tend to use the audio option much but its a nice fun tool/useful in some circumstances.

FWIW

teal gray/blue on black background works best for not waking the other half up by reading in bed. white on black is a bit too harsh for my hearing :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] berwhale:
Amen to that!

My bedside solution now includes one of these...

Plugged into the top USB socket of one of these...

http://www.usbfever.com/index_eproduct_view.php?products_id=2168

The cradle looks great with the phone sat in it - it's about the same width as the Note. It's also matt black, rather than the gloss as shown on the USBFever website.

I don't know if this was mentioned before, but if you register for a zinio account through the reader's hub app, they will send you a free $25 coupon that you could spend for some digital magazines. I think I got about 8 magazines from that e-mail coupon. Just a note though, some of the magazines can't be viewed from the note so choose your free stuff carefully.

Replacing 10" tablet

Would you guys see this as a viable option to replace my Acer Iconia A500? The only thing I really use the A500 for is reading and viewing PDF documents at university. The resolution is the same, so it's just a screen size issue. My eyes are good, I am just wondering if viewing textbooks on it would work well or not? If so, then the Note can replace my phone and my tablet in one fell swoop.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rnewton01:
Cool reader looks great on my note. Highly recommend.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] DPMAce:
Yes I think the note could do it. It's great because it's much easier to hold than a 10 inch tablet.

But you may prefer viewing whole textbooks for long periods of time on your acer more. I rarely even touch my laptop anymore because the note is so convenient. I always keep it with me. The size is almost perfect for me.

I've played with all my friends 7 inch tablets. And they're really nice, but somewhat bothersome to carry everywhere. The note fits nicely into my pocket. Perfect for web browsing.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] wisepage:
Holding/carrying aren't really an issue. When I am in class I just sit it on the desk, and I have a bag for carrying the tablet.

It was mainly an issue of whether the Note could replace the function of the tablet, and I could still be comfortable reading it. Keeping in mind that textbooks as PDFs tend to be aimed at being close to A4, as opposed to ebooks which can be resized to suit just about any screen.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] brooon:

Moon + Reader

I have been using the Moon + Reader, and am very much satisfied with it. Earlier I was using the Sony Ebook Reader, but I guess on the move this is a great option as ebook reader, as I have huge collection of epubs.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] yihao4note:
call me old fashion. But I need a non-backlit device for an ebook reader
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Hitschman:
I have never owned a device with a ink screen and always intended to buy one for reading but having everything in one device turned out to be more importent for me.

I rather have a slightly less comfortable reading experience then not having the right device with me and not be able to read at all.

It's personal taste though.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Techvir:
Repligo updated their app to support galaxy note stylus.

@Taptalk-GalaxyNote
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] prohexa:
Moon+: Great, free, I really liked the many custom options. Unfortunately lacks kindle-format support.

Kindle: Useless, unless you only read books bought from the Kindle store. Can't read .mobi or .epub or anything else you manually put on the phone.

FBReader: Awesome, free, includes support for Kindle formats. Win win win! :D

I also recommend, as someone previously said, to activate Night mode in FBReader, it saves a ton of juice. With dark blue text on black it's particulary easy on the eyes too. Also, try the page animation "Shift" for intuitive scrolling in horizontal mode.

Cheers!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] macminer:
Well, Kindle

can

read .mobi files I loaded on the phone. I have several files I created myself through Mobipocket creator and some other ones - I put them in /sdcard/kindle and Kindle reads them without problem. They have the extension .prc (since this was the original extension used by Mobipocket for PalmOS), not .mobi, but they are certainly .mobi files.

In fact, Kindle can even read a dictionary I created myself, but it treats it as an ordinary book (in contrast to a hardware Kindle device, which can use it as a dictionary). This is my only gripe with Kindle for Android - it still cannot use any other dictionaries than the default. I hope this feature is somewhere in Amazon's pipeline...
