[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] zmobie:
Do you have an SD card installed? Without one, only 1GB is seen on your internal memory if you connect your noob to your pc with the usb cord (but then you can move it to anywhere else).

Install a file explorer program (file expert is a good free one, root explorer is too but it has the possibility of having you misclick and mess up permissions on system folders).

Books/anything else moved to your NT's internal memory via usb -> shows up in /media. Books that you want your nook's native book applications to see -> move them to /data/books. Books that you have on your sdcard -> will not be seen by your nook's ebook reader program but you can make any folder anywhere and put books in it.

I recommend using an sdcard and downloading a program called Coolreader (android market); it's the best ebook reader I've found on this platform. It has a ton of settings and lets you configure it entirely (font, spacing, layout, behavior, etc etc). It reads from .zip archives and supports quite a few formats. It won't see anything with DRM protection on it that hasn't been removed, nor will it see .lit or amazon's proprietary formats. Anything with DRM on it that you bought from a certain market (Kindle, Adobe DRM ebook stores, etc) will only be read in associated programs (until you remove the drm) :/ Calibre is a great program (on the pc-side) to convert between book formats and manage your library, as a side note (not related to drm removal).
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rbellis:
if I kept them on on my SD card how would I get them to show up using the stock ebook reader? Also....what format can I use? I have them in .mobi and .opf

Since I am rooted I can access the other 15GB ... I tried using es filer explorer (enabling root) and trying to move them to the books folder but I still cant get them to show up using the google books...kindle app and the stock app on the tablet
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] zmobie:
For books on your SD card go to your Library application -> my files -> press memory card, and your books should be there (at least the ones in a format it sees/reads).

Stuff in /data/books will show up automatically on your shelves, I think. Stuff in /media books will need to be imported the same way as above: library -> my files -> books (just not clicking on memory card button).

The Nook's eReader will see: EPUB, PDF, DOC, TXT, DOCM, DOCX. Epub is a great thing to convert all your books to as it's widely supported and is the public domain standard (by the way). Other reader apps will see more formats. I think .opf is epub though no? Or rather it's .epub with extra metadata, so that should be seen right off the bat. If not, do try Calibre out. One click conversions to any formats, and previews of how it looks on that format.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rbellis:
I am so sorry to keep asking about this...I have tried putting them in the data/books but nothing showed up in my library. I don't know what I am doing wrong. Sorry if I keep asking stupid questions...just really want this to show up on my "shelf"
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] zmobie:
Try this:

Open library -> my stuff (upper right) -> find book (sd card) -> select book/long press book -> select add to shelf from pop out menu. It will ask you to make a shelf; you can edit and add shelves via the menu that pops up (create new shelf/add to favorites).

Does that work?

Putting them in /data/books adds it to the reader+reader's directory. I could have sworn there was a way to mass-autoadd things to the shelves (checking now).

edit: Ok, I can't get it to work except through actually adding it with the Library app :( Rebooting the device puts the books from my files -> add to shelves in the "book" tab however, but they do not automatically appear there if you close/restart the library app without rebooting the nook. Odd behavior. If you have a lot of books the library seemed very finger intensive.

I can't figure out how to mass-move anything inside the Library app either, and I'm not sure whether it has this capability either. Yeah, I quickly moved away to using a file explorer app + another reader, as you can see :)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Beyound 70yrs:
Hi ...

Nook is unable to see/read .mobi and .opf. You must convert them to epub, using a free program called Calibre.

Or they are locked by the use of a DRM... again Calibre can help you.

Try to find an ebook is an "epub," reread slowly, Zmobie's excellent posts, then try again...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rbellis:
ok....so I can get them to show in "my shelf" if and only if keep it on my SD card. My goal is to keep my books on my nt and music movies and pics on my SD card because it is only an 8GB.

I have a John Grisham collection that I have in a folder labled "john grisham" Should I not put it in a folder and just put it in the data/books folder
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] zmobie:
Ok, there are a bunch of book directories on the internal memory: media/My Files/Books seems to be the only one that automatically shows up in the Library books section but ONLY if you reboot. Copy/move the books you want on the internal memory there, to have them show up in Library.

If you (or when I did anyway) add a book through the Library application it will add it to the shelves, if you pull it from an sd card, or the 1gb media/My Files/Books storage folder. I went and pasted a bunch of books to test this and the Library app only sees things that is labeled as user storage (which I guess makes sense).

The way to mass-add books to the Library, without one by one dragging and adding through the Library app itself, is to move the files you want to automatically load up in Library (under the "books tab" - won't be added to a shelf automatically) is to copy all of them into media/My Files/Books, and restart the nook. The restart is needed as there doesn't seem to be a way to force it to scan for new books without a restart :/.

So:

It should *definitely* see all your books if you move them to media/my files/books, under the "books" tab, NOT under "my stuff" tab, if you copy and reboot the nook. You can then add them to shelves from the main "books" tab (which is what Library starts up in).

I don't know whether it scans inside folders - it *should* so you should try moving your John Grisham folder to media/My Files/books and see.

(I wonder what the three other /books locations are for :/. I don't seem to force Library to automatically recognize stuff in them. The reader does recognize anything in those directories, but then it's just a folder listing anyway).

edit: Ok it works inside folders for me. Have fun! :P
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rbellis:
Thank you so much! Now if can figure out how to make folders on my desktop I will be good to go.....thank you so much
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] devaska1:
Calibre also works great for the Mac
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] zmobie:
On the Nook default launcher you can't, I think*? It's a reason I use another launcher (go/adw) and just create links to the Nook applications I use. You can make folders by default in either of the two above launchers. :)

*If anyone has managed this, do tell.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rbellis:
not to get off topic but when I try to add a folder...long press on the screen and select folder and nothing happens
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] zmobie:
In Go launcher? HMMM. *tries*

edit: Oh, that's funny. You're right! I never actually make folders that way, because I have a few folders I got from accidentally dragging an icon onto another icons. They get grouped into a folder automatically ;) I assumed the normal way worked, but if not, try that.

It doesn't work in any of the launchers. It must be disabled on the nook entirely in that case. Weird!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rbellis:
I wasn't able to drop appear together with ads to make a folder so I switched to go launcher and I like it so much better. It it what I use on my roped droid x2. I don't know if it was my hacked downloaded version of adw that caused this but for some reason I could not put anything on the top 1 inch or so of the screen. But I have had no issues with GO.

Sorry to keep asking newborn queriins. This is my first tablet. I have noticed that even though it is rooted and has an android os on it, there are still a lot of things that canny be done. I have not been able to download a facebook apk I have also had issues with the xda app. When I log in the app force closes. Not a big deal...I have then been going to the website. With that in mind....is there a way to put web page short cuts on the droidtop......

Again...sorry for the newborn questions and thank you again for your help
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] zmobie:
Yep, there are a lot of things disabled on the NT and won't work until apps get updated or mods are released for the tablet. It's a new (and restricted) device, so this is normal really; various things won't work off the bat. I think there is a Facebook app thread in these forums (or the dev forum) that gets that app to work somehow. I don't use it so I don't know specifics.

I heard that ADW launchers recent update changed/broke some things, so that might be why it isn't working perfectly. I use go launcher myself and ADW only for emergencies currently, yeah. Anyway, no worries on asking newbie questions - means the device is getting more users and exposure! :P Have fun with it.

Yes i know, using Wotan server will install a new fFirmware which will restore the original stock camera app

Install a fresh firmware

it will work

Or use SeTool
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] electrash:
use pc companion to fix it.

of course for SEUS and pc companion BOOOTLOADER must be LOCKED for work.

my guess is you wouldn't be able to do any better than whats already been done just due to API changes, HW aceleration and such. Probably not worth the time just to find out that due to an API used in ICS that isn't available in previous versions.

So, I was looking around the portal, when i came across a story on the new 4EXT touch recovery for the sensation. My wife has a sensation, so of course, being the flash happy junky that I am, i gave it a go. Well, I must say, this recovery is great. Im by no means a dev, but, is there any devs out there that would be able to port this over for us i777 users? I'd be happy to test and offer any type of help i can to make this happen.

FPS is much higher on froyo. DNA is 56 FPS and locked. If I OC gingerbread 1.550 mhz its same FPS as froyo JSD or JS8.

Even it lags on 1550 mhz compared to 1000 mhz froyo. (dungeon defenders)

Did you feel it? Try dungeon defenders the most heavy game. Look how smooth it is.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Jasonhunterx:
Ram management an some other small factors

When you say GB, do you mean the GB custom rom from Insanity? I once did some testing with Darky's GB rom and found the same thing. Ficeto's GB rom (which is essentially stock deodexed GB rom) performs much better than Darky's GB rom even though they are both based on the same stock rom.

Is there any voodoo color kernel for froyo?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Valinorian:
Yeah theres the original voodoo kernel by supercurio.

But he's right, I've tried alot of GB roms including stocks but eventually went back to Froyo 2.2.1 JS8 with the Speedmod kernel.

Really speedy, battery life as good as GB and no weird crashes and the touchwiz launcher doesnt act weird like needing to load all my shortcuts again after exiting an app.

Also all apps work smooth.

Currently have 120 apps installed.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Jasonhunterx:
Try some itnd tweaks they help a lot try loopy smoothness and acid tweaks
[Galaxy S I9000 General] disclaimernotice:
Games are smoother on Froyo because of both free ram and ram management.

Froyo 2.2.1 has around 180mb on boot and 120+ mb after prolonged usage. Gingerbread 2.3.4 and 2.3.5 has 140mb on boot and less than 100mb after a day's usage. The kernel closes apps and background processes when ram is below a certain level. So, when playing a game, say Shadowgun, when a new enemy appears or when there are lots of bullets flying, the ram consumption of the game goes up. So, free ram drops. The cpu has to close some background processes to free up ram. Later, when there are fewer enemies and bullets on-screen, the ram consumption drops. The cpu then restarts those background processes. The constant opening and closing of these processes forces the phone to handle both the game and the processes simultaneously, hence causing the lag.

On Froyo, the free ram is higher, so playing is game is less likely to cause you to drop below the threshold ram level. At the same time, ram management is different on froyo, in the sense that once those background processes are closed, they remain closed until they are actually needed. But on Gingerbread, those background processes are reopened as soon as possible, even if they're not needed. Hence, the lag in Froyo games, if any, only happens when you first start the game or level, and then the game is smooth for the rest of the game, while on Gingerbread, the lag is persistent throughout.

If you've used the beta ICS roms, you'll find that games are smoother than on Gingerbread despite low free ram because the ram management on ICS is more similar to Froyo in the sense that background processes are only restarted when needed.

Thank you brother
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dukestraykker:
This is exactly what I have found as well. Froyo EZBase rom (used to downgrade then upgrade to custom roms frequently) played half the games I loved so much faster, I even started keeping it fr days in between upgrading to custom roms... But ever since moving to onecosmic BETA 1 ICS... games have been just as fast if not faster...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] moses992:
This is true. And its sad .. Im starting to feel like my SGS is already outdated. Im running CM7 and most -if not all- 3D games cause some lag. Wind-up Knight , Riptide,Shine Runner, Asphalt , even fruit ninja -.- .

Anyway, can someone please confirm that games run smoother on ICS ?

Probably wouldn't work with a screen protector as the sides come over the screen a bit. I don't use screen a screen protector so it's not an issue for me. As you can see all the buttons are exposed. Took about 5 days (even though he's only about 100 miles from me) to get delivered and the seller doesn't send it with a tracking number. But for the price I'm not complaining!!!

It's pretty thin and does not add too much to the phone's width. I think it's a nice balance of thickness and protection.
