Could you or anyone please explain this in detail for a noob?

You're saying this uses the 11GB of B&N "reserved" *hijacked* RAM, not the 1GB left for the user?

When I plug my rooted NT into my computer, the MyNOOK drive is mounted, but it's only 1GB. (Also my SD card mounts). Copying to My Files reduces the 1GB. So there must be more to 'sideloading via USB' than this, so what am I missing? Or is it just certain files and formats go to the B&N space?

So far the closest I've found is clicking 'Edit' in the My Shelves section- a list will pop up with media on either internal or SD card and let you individually select each item to add. Would be a real PITA with a large number of files though.

Thanks for the conversion to CBZ script. I was batch-extracting my .CBR files, zipping them, then changing the extension to .cbz but the script is obviously much faster for large collections.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CPerko:
Stock reader works great for RPG book PDFs. I've used files with sizes ranging from 1-2MB to upwards of 75MB (I've got all of DnD 3rd,3.5, and 4th ed and quite a bit of 2nd scanned and OCRed), and only very rarely notice lag, even when reading off of SD. Only real downside is the PDF cover problem that has existed since the NC. For me, it was enough of an annoyance that I started using Mantano Reader (the paid version) on my rooted NT until such time that it ever gets fixed, since it allows browsing by cover thumbnail.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] zaptoons:
I've loaded a few 60MB+ pdf files that I use for work. Paging through them is reasonably fast. The stock viewer has really clumsy navigation and bookmark controls though.

I'd rather use QuickPDF, but it has an issue where all the options are trapped under the status bar

I was reading on another post where someone turned off the status bar, accidently at first, but then liked it better that way.

Nook native reader chokes on some PDFs

I got my NT to be a universal ebook reader. It works great for that with Calibre.

The native PDF reader is good for selecting text passages, but it will choke and hang on certain PDF's that don't appear to handle text flow correctly. I get a PDF subscription to Monitoring Times, and I've run into that problem. The reader will hang, and then suddenly present you with two sentences of selected text smushedtogetherwithoutspaceslikethis.

The NT comes with QuickOffice Lite and you can read PDF's with it. I decided to buy the Pro version--I needed to be able to edit Word/Excel docs, and the PDF reader on QO Pro is quite a bit smoother. It's worth $7 bucks (and I can't stand Angry Birds anyway...)

I haven't yet found an upper limit for PDF size--a lot of files I have are scanned computer manuals from bitsavers.org, but I regularly read PDF's of 50-60 megs or more on the device.

Otherwise, it's a great first tablet. I had whole folders of PDF's, .mobi, Plucker, .doc and plain text files that just went right in, at least after I used Calibre to convert them.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] zaptoons:
Haha, yeah that was me. Unfortunately, this was specific only to GoLauncher. No way to turn it off in QuickPDF.

Fortunately, it doesn't matter; I got rid of the paid QuickOffice entirely. (I got it free from Amazon. I'm glad I didn't pay for it, because it sucked on the NT)

I've since found (thanks to someone here) that I prefer Mantano Reader Free. It's available straight from the market.

It has an awesome interface, it's own bookshelf, it generates/shows PDF covers, and it's blazing fast. It seems tablet aware; it only shows the status bar when you tap the bottom of the screen, and it's own menu is high enough not to get stuck behind it. I highly recommend it.

2nd this. Calibre is amazing. I use the 'Fetch News' feature to gather content from various sources, and it creates a perfectly formatted mini-magazine out of them. I was surprised when I attached my NT; Calibre recognized it as a Nook Tablet, and automatically copied my news 'digests' to My Files.

How did you get the items you sideloaded into the reserved space via USB?

When I copy files from my computer to "/media/my files/Books" they go into the 1gig space.

Are you sure they are in the 12gig reserved space? In which directory do you see them with root explorer?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] chinita18:
I have the same experience.

I did not root my NT coz I am scared (noob here), so I am just sideloading.

Most of the ebooks I downloaded actually go to my library which means it uses the 11 or 12gb that BN reserved for "their" content.

I am not sure if this go to all other files but all the things I downloaded from the browser go to the MyFiles (Downloads) folder of the library, be it ebooks or apps. I haven't tried to download anything from the browser other than ebooks and apps at the moment.

I am using an mp3 download app from the market and the mp3s I downloaded from the app goes to the sd card...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tmlee51:
You will load into My Files/Books. If it's on the main storage, this folder is in that 1G area. If you have a SD card, then it's on the SD card. SD card shows on your desktop as another drive.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Chriszeh:
Possible PDF Cover solution?

I've been annoyed by this issue for a few months now, I think I might have made a little headway though.

I made a post on the nookdevelopers.zendest.com, where one user recommended dropping a PDF into an ePub since it's basically a Zip file. It took me awhile to learn the ePub format since it's a little more involved than just zipping the cover/pdf together.

My final product was a PDF w/ a cover, which showed up nicely on the Nook Tablet "Desktop"!! However now when I open the PDF (well, it's like an PDF/ePub hybrid now), it renders horribly, the page turns are slow, and if I navigate to any page past 80 or so it crashes. This blows my mind because the naked PDF works just fine in the reader app.

Here is a link the now unresponsive Zendesk post: Can't link yet :mad:

Here is the ePub/PDF & Cover I created: Can't link yet :mad:

Here is a link to the raw PDF: Can't link yet :mad:

(Until I can link, head over to the zendesk and search for 'pdf in epub with nook tablet', there are 2 different threads, the newest one has links to the PDF and ePub wrapped PDF I created)

I'm hoping this is a clue that will tip someone off to breaking this problem wide open.

Once the kinks are worked out, I can throw together an app to auto-wrap PDF's into ePubs. A complete bandaid to the problem, but since the Nook developers are asleep at the wheel, it's at least something.

You need to unzip the one file you download and it should show up as a few different files. Put them all on your sd card, but only load the .img or .iso (The largest file).

Alternatively now you can reinstall fpse but this time choose the "easy" menu instead of advanced, and it will show you covers of autodetected games so you don't have to select specific files.

[Galaxy S II General] alex.feigin:
Hello all,

I have a Samsung galaxy S II purchased in Israel from Cellcom.

In my ill advised attempt to unbrand, and thus accelerate, improve memory and battery consumption, I flashed a stock ROM which I believed to be the latest.

The phone works great, with one exception. There seems to be no way to connect it to PC, be it WIN7 32bit or ubuntu 32bit. original usb cable or other cable, my stationary workstation or my laptop, be it USB Storage mode, USB Debugging, that stupid Kies mode, and most importantly because i'd like to flush it back, no Odin Mode. (in win32 - any mode gets "unknown device" status like the device doesn't publish it's name correctly or similar.)

moments before the flash the phone connected in all modes.

I think i've pretty much covered all of the obvious. and there is no problem with my latest sdk and drivers as my Nexus S still connects to both PC's with great success.

SO some info - and what I have already researched.

from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1113928, I gather that the PDA on my Cellcome bought SGS2 is either JIKG3 or JIKJ1. and that it's a GT19100T and I gather that denotes some kind of hardware specification.

the ROM I've flushed to my phone has this name:

GT-I9100_XEU_I9100XWKJ3_I9100XEUKH2_I9100XXKI3.tar.md5

everything seems wrong about this ROM in hindsight but, the worst is that it has no T, and probably isn't very hardware compatible. (though the telephony, wifi, camera, sensors and anything I tried works).

The phone is not rooted as after flushing I have lost any USB connectivity. I therefore cannot try and manipulate system files, to try to recover that way.

I have tried to root with the exploit apk. to no effect. I gather it's a statistically challenged way of rooting so I'll try my luck a lot more during the wait for your answer, and report any success.

**Edited**

the "Easy Rooting Toolkit" on http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1319653

I'll try to run it as best I can, with the shell emulator, instead of on adb, but with debugging enabled.. although it's not a very East Toolkit, when I use it this way..

I'll still report any progress..

**/Edited**

I have seen no one on the internet with this problem. it's really a very stupid problem to have. but a problem nevertheless.

Any insight as to the moves I can try next will be greatly appreciated.

Any information I can add with my limited usb connectivity will be gladly shared. (my "Kies air" works so I can upload to storage that way.. plus i have a shell emulator installed..)

Alex.

In ur Device Manager dose it show several unknown devices when connected?
[Galaxy S II General] alex.feigin:
just the single one.
[Galaxy S II General] BrandoHD:
There is absolutely nothing wrong with the ROM itself as I have been using it on my phone for a couple weeks now.

The problem exists between your phone and your PC, the PC is stating that it's an unknown device after all.

What I would try is to un-install the device in Device Manager, unplug the device and restart the PC and then plug the phone in again, if that does not work, I would throw in a factory reset of the device itself while repeating the above steps
[Galaxy S II General] Lennyz1988:
What do you mean by that? The nexus drivers have nothing to do with the galaxy drivers. Only if you run an AOSP rom you will need those drivers. Not if you run a stock rom.

Am I right that your pc sees the phone, but does not recognize it? Did you try reinstalling kies? And then from within kies tried to reinstall the phone drivers?
[Galaxy S II General] jamesyb0i:
your PC may not recognize the device after the radio or kernel is changed. what I did was uninstall every single usb device from device manager and reboot, fixed.
[Galaxy S II General] alex.feigin:
Reply to all

jamesyb0i - I saw that some people have been successful after uninstalling all usb devices, I'm challenged in this task as my keyboard and mouse are USB. I will try it on my laptop as soon as I'll get access to it, though because of the wide range of computer and OS I've tried I'm pretty sure the effort will be ultimately futile.

Lennyz1988 - I see your point about the ADB Driver for the Nexus S, but as for the other advice.

As I said, I extensively tried to run it on multiple PC's multiple OS's.

I did try to uninstall / reinstall kies, and kies drivers.

after that didn't help. I got an SGS2 from a friend, just to try it on my computer.

it worked just fine.

The problem I believe is specifically because of the GTI9100/GTI19100T differences

I'm sure as achillies400 said that there is nothing wrong with the ROM itself. BUT the problem is not with my PC's it is more likely the different hardware, and the hardware driver on the phone itself that makes my phone become an "unknown device".

Alex.
