[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] zendragon6:
You don't have to use calibre to convert epubs. They are natively supported. Just restart your flyer and they import. If you get a request for your username and password, contact Barnes and noble. It's something like your B&N username and last 4 of card used to purchase. All of my books auto import now. I have not purchased from kobo yet, and don't use calibre.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] GrandAdmiral:
Amazon is the one I typically convert from. Most of the books I got from B&N don't need conversion.

Any Kobo users?

Kobo User

I have been using Kobo since picking up the Flyer. I believe you will find it an excellent service once you have your account set up on the tablet. When I buy a book using the Kobo reader app I just enter in my password for a purchase and it begins a down load right to the Flyer. I have used Mobi pocket and have downloaded from project gutenberg also.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] dellbell:
Kobo was Indigo/Chapters, the Barnes & Noble of Canada. (It was recently sold to Rakuten (of Japan).)

Books show up on it a few weeks after release on Amazon and B&N. Selection, otherwise, seems about the same. Prices equivalent to B&N on my comparison shopping on a few items, and both about $1/item over Amazon.

However, so far, only Amazon carries the book that my son was a co-authored, called Reinventing Fire.

OTOH stay away from the Kobo Vox, their Kindle Fire competitor.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] NookFan:
You know, I really like the Reader app. The aesthetics of it are nice, the animations are slick, the pinch to zoom, non-square-and-plain highlighting--like it all. I've purchased a few books through Kobo, and had no problems what-so-ever, and their prices were good.

However...

I do a lot of highlighting and note-taking, and want a backup of those. I found no indication that the Reader backs-up or syncs to the cloud (and when I asked HTC on Facebook, they agreed that it does not.) So, I switched to Kindle. I tried both Nook and Kindle apps, and like the Kindle functionality the best. I'm wrapping up a few books in Reader, but then will be all Kindle (again, just 'cause of the cloud-sync business.)

How do you convert Amazon ebooks? Calibre doesn't support DRM.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Sweetpea8472:
There are plugins which you can use. Search for "apprentice alf". That should point you in the right direction.

About the native reader app, I never use it. Not enough settings. The margin is way too wide (top and bottom). This makes it unusable to me.

If it's copyright material that is not made freely available by the publisher or author then no, that is the same as posting pirate software.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] n7of9:
then i'm glad i asked :p
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] fiveoneooo:
So my understanding is that the reader app supports mobi and epub? Is there any other app on the matket that does that is a better fashion
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] n7of9:
reader apps that are linked to a specific store are just storefronts...if you want a reader app with customisation, try:

Cool Reader

Moon Reader

Mantano
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] GrandAdmiral:
Before downloading, you mind going over some of the features?

Sent from GrandAdmiral's phone using Tapatalk.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] n7of9:
you can customise everything...fonts and colours and how to turn the pages and sort by tags and collections...but most importantly, the non-proprietary reader software don't own and take over your books

i recommend sticking to epub format because they are the only true open formats...having all your books in a proprietary format leaves you stuck with that provider, and if you are already on xda i assume you don't get a kick of being told how you have to use something

go with Mantano Reader...in my tests it was the most comprehensive (this from a chick with over 780 books in her collection, so this was a bit of an important subject for me...i sold my Asus Transformer because it wasn't comfortable as an ereader)

also, learn how to use Calibre to manage your collections...i have my library on a server as an opds catalog, which Mantano can access, and i also have it hosted on a no-ip domain

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] butterflygirl:
I use Moon Reader Pro. I have customized a lot of the viewing options and love it. If you use Ivona, you can use TTS to have the book read out loud.

I used Calibre to convert my 300 books from www.ereader.com because I am afraid it is going to go under. I had been using that site for over a decade for my ebooks. The website has really gone down since BN bought it out about 3 years ago and they have not updated their Android app since the beta release.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] FuryriderX:
Alright, i'm back in the game. Going to do a major re-work and update of the Theme Directory. Had a question for everyone though.

Would it be appreciated if i cataloged themes for JVQ and older? How many of you still use Froyo/Gingerbread builds <JVQ? Is it worth my time to catalog them?

Here's how it breaks down:

(note that some themes are backwards-compatible, i'm just listing them by the newest rom supported)

JVZ: 7 themes

JVT: 13 themes

JVS: 1 theme

JVR: 3 themes

JVQ and older: 39 (!) themes

Froyo: 19 themes

2/3 of the themes for Gingerbread are ONLY for JVQ and older.

Let me know your thoughts! Thanks guys!

I just installed the juggernaut rom by Team Kang on my T989 yesterday. I woke up this morning and found a prompt on my phone for a new update from t-mobile.

I thought I would take a look at it and went with the whole update and all it did was taking me to the recovery screen.

I rebooted and the update notice is still there. What's this about?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jonathan3579:
You should pull the file and give us the link. That would be helpful!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gedeem:
I'm not really an expert so if you would be kind enough to tell me which file you're talking about.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] babymatteo:
It's the new Tmobile update to Android 2.3.6. Its the new update with Wifi calling and Gtalk w/ video installed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gedeem:
The thing is, I restored my phone to stock and didn't get the prompt, but get it if i go back to juggernaut
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jonathan3579:
I'll look up how to pull an update. It's been a while since I last had to do this. Bear with me... It will be just a few minutes. I don't wanna use ODIN for the update if at all possible.

The strange thing is everyone on that ROM seem to be getting the notification. I'm stock and have tried both Kies and manually checking like a madman with no notification whatsoever.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gedeem:
I still have the notification and all it does is send me to the recovery screen.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Lagatron:
this worked for me

unroot phone, use kies to update firmware to 2.3.6
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jimbo Droid:
There is no 2.3.7 update it was 2.3.6 must be a rom error
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] skypagers:
I install the Juggernaut 3.7 on my phone on Dec 24 and after reboot I was keep getting same message again and again for the T mobile update what I did is went to the system app and removed the asynchrony.apk and I stop getting that updates message. If I have helped you? Please don't forget to pressThank you button
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gedeem:
Is unrooting my phone going to affect the rom at all?

if you would give me the details i would really appreciate it because i don't know what you mean by "system app" and i have tried a file manager app to look for "asynchrony.apk" and did not find it.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SantinoInc:
Hey guys. I have been using the out of the box EG30 modem up until today. Never had LOS and for the most part had good 3G speed but kind of crappy 4G speed. Today I finally decided to flash the EL13 modem.

Using SpeedTest app (with same location) I did FIVE speed test on EG30 modem and FIVE speed test on EL13 modem. The test were done at the same time and in the same exact location. I did test on the 3G and 4G speeds. The rom I used on all test was CALKULIN's 2.5 rom. Here are the results:

EG30 modem: 3G avg = 1.35 DL, 184 UL and 97 ping

4G avg = 3.28 DL, 355 UL and 143 ping

EL13 modem: 3G avg = 1.51 DL, 190 UL and 93 ping

4G avg = 4.2 DL, 594 UL and 123 ping

As you can see from my test flashing the EL13 provided moderate increases in DL and UL speed. Like on my EG30 modem, I have not experienced any LOS yet (have only been on this modem for a few hours though.)

Feel free to post your comparisons between modems...it may help someone decide whether they want to flash another modem.

Nice. Thanks.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pcmedics911:
How about EG30 vs EK02 vs EL13?

Now that the EG30 is avail to download and restore to stock, I'm interested in determining which modem pulls down faster d/l (all subject to area).

Also, did you notice any screen / transition lag on EL13 compared to Eg30?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] poppygt:
My signal strength and d/l speeds seem the same but my u/l speeds do seem much faster, not the results I hoped for but it's an improvement lol. Can't test 4g...not sure it really exist.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] distantneighbor:
must be nice to be able to get anywhere remotely close to that dl speed, best I seen ever here is 700Kbps
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
EG31 next.

I have a hunch that it's the fastest, but, that can change from minute to minute, place to place, phone to phone, etc to etc.

Though getting 3G speeds like that you seem to be in the perfect place to actually test these modems.

I get the best results with EG31....but, that's just me....and I haven't done back to back radio tests since my evo3d when the eng. radio got leaked
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
You beat me to it. I see serious variations between tests. Maybe if someone can run 10 tests on each and took the average of the 10 to compare....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kenneu:
I've tried this before and even on the same phone with 10-20 back to back tests in the exact same spot, speeds vary so much, it's really hard to say what causes the speed changes.

The network has many, many users on it and their use is not controllable. If 10 users on the tower are tethered and DLing a torrent, that will affect everyone on the tower...

Unless you can control who is on the tower and how much bandwidth the tower has available, these tests aren't very reliable.

If you want something that *might* be meaningful, you'll need same phones with different modems side by side and running the test at identical times. You'll need to do dozens of trials and vary the time of day and week. Over time a trend will occur and then you can begin to make inferences about THAT tower in THAT area ONLY.

You might also consider a different testing software. Speed Test, for me, has always been highly variable. I've tried different apps on the market but I seem to get the most consistent results using speakeasy.net (website) rather than the application on the phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] aquaholik:
I am on EG30 modem and my wife's phone is on the new EK02 modem. I do side by side testing at home and at restaurants where we eat. There is no improvement. At any one time doing the same test on 3G and 4G, the speed difference can be + or -(10-50%) with no clear indication of which one is the better modem. Tried both the speedtest and speakeasy.net website. I have done this 50-60 times for 2 months before and after the update. There is no way I can draw a conclusion about which modem is better so I left mine at EG30 running Calk 2.0 which is based on EK02 rom and kernel.

Our 3g speed in Tampa/St Pete is anywhere from 200kbps to 2000kbps with the average of around 500kbps. Our 4G averages around 2000kbps but there are plenty of area around town including our house where we can regularly pull 5000kbps and up to 10MBPS if I hold my mouth just right. Testing with our own wifi shows that we can consistently get the same speed. Testing with 3g/4g, no way to predict which phone will post a higher score.

Just did 6 consecutive tests with speakeasy.net using 4g with 2 bars and the results are as follow(in Mbps):

3.5, 1.7, 1.2, 3.4, 4.61, 3.14

I moved 6ft to the left:

1.19, 1.4, then I switched to a server that was farther away and got 2.0

Trying to get a consistent number is futile but getting a range of number is not.

"cant test 4g... Not sure it really exists" hahahaha same here. Im not sure there really is 4g. I have never seen it or used it. Theres definately ZERO 4g on kauai

---- speed test app that every one uses seems to not be reliable for me here in hawaii what so ever. Its really a joke. How ever the most reliable and 100% consitent test is not a app, its a web site that is bar non the best out there. http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/ try it out. You cant be dissapointed, especially for those of you in Hawaii that cant reliably use speedtest.net app
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oxeneers:
Is there a way to do this yet? Anyone?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SantinoInc:
I'm pretty sure that you can flash the EG30 modem now and from there flash the EK02 modem. However, you may just want to go ahead and flash the latest modem which is EL13.

I just went from EG30 to EL13 and had moderate increases in DL & UL speeds.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Havek923:
Check out this thread qbking77 has a bunch of videos in here explaining how to do everything. You have to downgrade to EG30, then up to EK02.

This is a tip for ALL good application developers in the android market: as of now, there is no good Conversation (call) Recorder application that would record calls (not from the speaker) in a clear sound and save it in different formats.

I have tried many, including the "Call Recorder - Total Recall" but wasn't happy with none of them.

If you come accross a good one, please post it.

Thanks.

I would pay $40 or so for one. It would be cheaper than paying $198.00 for a Call Mynah Cell Phone Recorder. Also less hassle as with call mynah I have to haul around another device.

[HTC Desire S] spagmuff:
Can anyone please tell me how to install a custom ROM onto my Desire S with the bootloader unlocked via HTC Dev and S-ON?

My guess is that you install CWMR and flash it via that. But you need root access to do that, I thought unlocking the bootloader was meant to eliminate this.

Also, I've been reading that people are having issues installing ROMs this way, they are experiencing a hang at the HTC logo on boot.

Any information will be greatly appreciated, thank you.
[HTC Desire S] tpbklake:
After you flash the custom ROM using CWM, you then have to extract the boot.img file from the ROM.zip file and manually flash it in FASTBOOT mode. That is the nature of the unlocked bootloader. The boot partition is not mounted R/W in recovery mode, it is only mounted R/W when you are in bootloader FASTBOOT mode.
[HTC Desire S] spagmuff:
Ok, from reading yours and various other posts in the forum, I need to do the following to install a custom ROM with an unlocked bootloader and S-ON:

1. Unlock bootloader via HTC's website

2. Root phone (with gingerbreak apk?)

3. Install CWM via ROM manager

4. Backup existing ROM with CWM and backup files with titanium

5. Install ROM via CWM (wipe data, wipe cache, install ROM)

6. Flash boot.img (HBOOT, fastboot, and flash image)

7.Reboot into cyanogenmod

If I have anything wrong, please let me know. Thanks.
[HTC Desire S] tpbklake:
Step 2 and 3 are not necessary. After you Unlock the bootloader, you could then simply flash ClockworkMod in FASTBOOT mode.

1. Unlock bootloader.

2. Flash CWM image in FASTBOOT mode.

3. Backup existing ROM with CWM.

etc.

I'm on an Inc2 but since it's basically the same I hope this applies...

I'm in the same position as the OP with the newly unlocked bootloader via HTC.

I flashed cwm through fastboot but now I can't reflash through ROM Manager. I installed both SuperUser and BusyBox but both point the finger at eachother saying the other needs to be installed. What am I missing??
[HTC Desire S] tpbklake:
Download the latest su-3.0.x.zip file. Then boot into CWM recovery and install this zip file. This will root the current ROM you have installed and then ROM Manager and BusyBox will both be happy.
[HTC Desire S] wenzlern:
@korenisko

So you unlocked via HTC dev, flashed custom recovery, wiped all partitions, flashed cyanogenmod, rebooted into fastboot, flashed boot.img via fastboot (fastboot flash boot /pathtobootimg/boot.img, if i recall correctly) and then you were able to boot into cyanogen?

I did exactly these steps (only with 4ext instead of cwm, which shouldn't affect the result) and was stuck with the white bootscreen and no adb logcat output whatsoever.

Currently I am back on a prerooted official RUU (2.3.3), but it still performs really bad and I would like to have cyanogenmod.

Btw: I have a Desire S, hboot 2.00.0002, S-ON, no carrier branding.

Thanks,
