ROM archives contain img files; how to mount them in Linux?

I have tried mount filename.img /media/mymountpoint -o loop -t fstype

with fstype = vfat, ext2, ext3, ext4, iso9660 but couldn't mount.

What evident bit am I overlooking?

Thanks

EDIT maybe this is the way: http://xdaforums.com/archive/index.php/t-1081239.html

EDIT2 yep it's right you've got to compile simg2img to uncompress the img file, then you can mount it. Thanks all ;)

1. Is it possible to flash the 4.0.4 stock (found on SamMobile P5100XWBLE4) with odin and do not trigger the counter?

2. If let's say we have a prerooted stoc 4.0.4(is there any available?) and flash it via odin, does it trigger the counter?

Thanks in advance.

I'm hoping it's a DX2 considering what forum we're in.

To the OP, nobody can "tell you how to make one" in a single forum post. It takes research, time, practice, screw-ups, more research, more screw-ups, then possibly success.

Yes, Google is a good start.

Hi guys, can you provide some feedbacks regarding the reading experience of ebooks or pdfs? How do you value the nexus 7 compared to the kindle touch for example? Is it making your eyes tired after some time?

Thanks in advance

Works well for me, i can read for hours at a time.
[Nexus 7 General] charlesky:
I've used an eInk reader for several years now, but realised that I mostly read at night in bed. eInk is OK with a small booklight, though keeping a supply of batteries charged was a pain. But reading in low-light with the Nexus is a lot better. The display is crisper (most eInk displays are still 166dpi compared to the Nexus' 213), the contrast is better, and I'm finding it easier to read. If you're looking for something to take to the beach or read outdoors in sunlight then eInk will probably be a better choice, but for me the Nexus is superior.

If you're reading ePubs get Mantano, the rest are all trash.
[Nexus 7 General] Torisen:
I really like it so far, it's great to switch to at night. During the day I use my Nook Touch and in the evening I switch to the N7, it's perfect.
[Nexus 7 General] pmgreen:
Take away the screen flicker and it's better than the Nook. That being said it's easier to be distracted, for example look up a word, check a sports score... forget about book.
[Nexus 7 General] bpye:
I have your issue, it really is great to read on. But then watching video, playing games...there all great too :)
[Nexus 7 General] Surfy89:
It's to personal preference and usability. If you read during the day or outside, I prefer the e-ink readers. But since I read mostly at night, I use the Nexus set at lowest brightness. :)
[Nexus 7 General] zinfinion:
The Kindle app on all other Androids is not the same as the Kindle app on the Kindle Fire. So if you are heavily invested in Kindle books I'd suggest waiting to see what Amazon has coming out in the next few months.

It's mainly the wide margins that get me:

[Nexus 7 General] jaroslavj:
I bough my Nexus 7 for the main goal of reading books, tech books and news. It is awesome for pdfs I use ezpdf with crop/push to column feature for epubs I use moon+ reader and during the night I found this awesome app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.omegacentauri.ScreenDim.Full&hl=en that dims the screen even more! :)
[Nexus 7 General] TheWenger:
I've been using the Amazon Kindle app to read .mobi files and it works great. The Amazon app is actually pretty good. But I know that's a little dated and epub is what's up.

It would be great to be able to import already owned books into the Google Books app, but I don't think that's currently possible.
[Nexus 7 General] micks_address:
how do you import mobie files so that they will appear in the kindle app?
[Nexus 7 General] jabsys:
Just copy them into the Kindle folder and they show up in the app.
[Nexus 7 General] blahblahyoutoo:
Using the stock PDF reader, text and images are blurry if they are off the center of the screen.

Can someone recommend a good 3rd party reader? One that can add bookmarks as well.
[Nexus 7 General] GuestK00345:
75% of my Nexus 7 use is as an eBook and I love it. I use the Kindle App and set the tone to Sepia which, to me, makes reading for hours very easy.
[Nexus 7 General] t_007_v2:
a great app for the N7 thanks #9 for that!
[Nexus 7 General] taming:
I still prefer reading on my eINK device, a Kobo Touch. It is lighter and there are more fonts. I can make more adjustments (e.g. line spacing, margins, font tuning). I tend to read on it during the day, and then read on the N7 at night so I don't disturb my spouse. This is only doable, IMO, for books that sync between the app on the N7 and the eINKL device. No syncing is a no-go for me.

[Nexus 7 General] mumpfpuffel:
Kindle, Adobe Reader, built-in document viewer... all work pretty well, and I personally have never had any significant problems with reading from a screen. I'm still hedging my bets for Amazon to go the "get a free digital copy if you buy a physical book" way, since I rather like my bookshelves...
[Nexus 7 General] Chinpokomon:
I've been using Screen Filter. Works very well for dimming the screen. The system buttons such as Back, Home, and Application Switch are still bright, but the content is dimmed for the main area of the screen.
[Nexus 7 General] camp10:
This is exactly what I do. I read for 1-2 hours every night and it works well.

I bought a matte screen protector thinking that the glare would be bothersome. But I haven't bothered to install it yet.

Can we use Google Play books to read our own pdfs..apart from books bought from the play store..
[Nexus 7 General] aindow:
I'm currently reading on my Nexus 7 in the dark. I've got Google books set on night mode (white text on black background) and I think the screen is great. It's my first time trying to read a book on here but it won't be my last.

[Nexus 7 General] Nizda1:
Are you referring to what the kindle can do with PDF or docs convert and xfer to your device? If so the kindle app can actually do it now nice little feature. Google books is really one of the worst ebook apps on the play store no offence. Check out Moon Reader free or pro, cool reader, etc there's a ton. Also if anyone enjoys audiobooks I still use an older app called readbooks spelled something like that it will convert your books to audio and grab ivona txt to speech. That combo is perfect and the voices are amazing I'm using British Amy right now I like the accent :)
[Nexus 7 General] kisrita:
For PDF files the Kindle is too small. The Nexus 7 is usable. But I use both for other eBook formats. I would really like the Nexus to be even lighter, but its light enough. I prefer the Nexus indoors, and the Kindle outdoors. LCD displays are worthless at the beach. That's where the Kindle shines. I also use the Kindle on long flights because it can last for an entire 15 hour flight. Tablets can't yet. But if its dark, I prefer using the Nexus because it needs no external light. It doesn't bother my eyes. I think I might use a larger font to compensate on the LCD. The extra weight is something you get used to. I managed to read on a 10" tablet too, it took a long time to get used to that, and I haven't touched it since I got the Nexus, but each device has it's use. I will still buy the next generation of eink Kindles, assuming its better than my Kindle 3G or my tiny Kindle non-touch in some way.
[Nexus 7 General] kisrita:
Same here, but with Moon+ Pro. TTS is built in, and it syncs across android devices too. Completely agree on the Amy voice!
[Nexus 7 General] darkquota:
The experience overall is good, butt the Google play book app lacks a few basic features. Mainly text selection for looking up words in the book, dictionary, Google, etc... is absent. Still, it works well enough for reading. Some other apps (nook, kindle, aldiko) work great as well. I still prefer the nook tablet for reading (built-in app is better than the one on play store, plus nice quick read button in status bar), but the nexus 7 is great for ereading.
[Nexus 7 General] proud_whovian:
I read for hours with no issue. Good ereading apps are; Mantano reader (there's a lite and a premium) , Aldiko (lite and pro) or Moon+ reader (also lite and premium). I set them to something like night or sepia and the apps themselves has brightness controls for the application itself so you can change the brightness on the fly when it's getting darker and the screen is too bright.
[Nexus 7 General] mfucci:
FBreader is also pretty good. I prefer Moon+ Reader Pro but use FBreader for the odd occasion that I need .mobi compatibility.
[Nexus 7 General] Kaylee_12:
I use my tab for ebooks more than anything else. The first apps I installed were all the ereader apps in the Play Store. :o. After two weeks of trying them all out, I decided on CoolReader. (Free in the Play Store)

It's the most user-configurable, and it reads the most formats, including both mobi and epub. It also does text-to-speech and lets you customize 9 tap-zones and tweak CSS...

I liked Mantano's bookshelf management the best, but it was to busy, not as customizable, and doesn't read mobi format.
[Nexus 7 General] shadrage:
For the life of me I can't understand why they decided not to include the bookmarking feature from the books app in their magazine app. I haven't read magazines in over a decade but I'm starting to now with Play Magazines... just need the damned bookmark! Finding stuff can be a pain.
[Nexus 7 General] Lorka:
I'm finding it great for ebook reading. My only frustration is, as I stay in white text/dark background for battery life, I end up seeing my own reflection pretty clearly all the time. Not ideal reading experience. I'd be interested in an anti-glare screen protector if anyone's got some recommendations.
[Nexus 7 General] ExploreMN:
Don't like the way you look? Just kidding. Seriously though, have you tried an anti-glare screen? I ordered one with my case as a combo deal...hasn't arrived yet so I can't give you a recommendation, but it might solve the issue.
[Nexus 7 General] Skillz1318:
Use the nexus inside but kindle outside. Works great in low light but other than that I'm using my kindle.
[Nexus 7 General] Mutnat:
I sat outside on my patio last night and read some Game of Thrones (book 1) for about an hour last night in the Kindle app on my n7. Was great! So much easier to physically hold and manage than my former tablet (Asus Transformer TF101). The size is very similar to holding a thin (but slightly heavy) paperback. No eye strain after that session.
[Nexus 7 General] thebobp:
This doesn't actually help battery life on an ips display, because it's backlit rather than the black pixels actually turning off. The only thing that actually affects screen battery use is brightness settings (which controls the backlight).

So if that's your only reason for white-on-black, you can pretty much go back if you want.
[Nexus 7 General] Shrink:
Game of Thrones would be great to read on a roll of toilet paper! ;) You'll be hooked on the series and then have to wait impatiently while GRRM finishes the next in the series. Enjoy!

I am currently using my Galaxy Note for book reading (as well as everything else you would expect) and ordered the N7 as a book reader and for those times when I want the bigger screen. Can't wait for it to arrive! I use the Kindle app almost exclusively a nd download from my own collection from Dropbox which contains my Calibre ebook library.
[Nexus 7 General] proud_whovian:
Cool reader is also good I just don't like that they don't have a book shelf/library kinda area. At least they didn't the last time I used it

---------- Post added at 06:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:55 PM ----------

I ordered some, lets face it cheap, anti-glare screen protectors. Assuming I don't completely mess it up (which is possible) I'll let you know how that goes.
[Nexus 7 General] BaronInkjet:
With ezPDF, works great. I wish it were as light as a paperback, but ... :)
[Nexus 7 General] taltamir:
eInk sucks if you try to read with a large font size. It adds too many page turns and if you read FAST you could end up with a worse battery life then a tablet. I tried 2 eink readers before going with a nook tablet and now upgraded to a nexus 7 and both are far better.

It is also painfully slow to change pages on eink readers. And the lack of a backlight means its very difficult to read in some situations where light is not readily available.

I set both my nook tablet and my nexus 7 to absolute min brightness when reading books.

One thing of note, the nook for android app forces me to have a stupid "book like" split screen as if I am looking at two pages which is bothersome and stupid. Keeping the worse thing about books for looks.
[Nexus 7 General] darkquota:
Have you checked the "Two Page Mode" option in settings to make sure it's not turned on?

Also, I notice only a few of my books support one column in landscape mode. I assume it has to do with formatting, but am not sure at all. Maybe someone with more knowledge on the subject can help. Possibly even ask on the official B&N forums.
[Nexus 7 General] Nexcellent:
Reading is great, finished nearly 6 books in the past month. The weight of the device attributes to longer reading times for me, resolution is nice. No complaints, i use Mantano.
[Nexus 7 General] Roland Deschain:
Simple test to determine if you will like reading on the Nexus 7: Read on your desktop computer for an hour. If you're alright with it, you'll be more than alright with this. I've already read 3 novels with it, and I've only had it for 9 days.

Sent from Gilead using my Nexus 7.
[Nexus 7 General] ky0nkyon:
Just finished white fang and reading on the n7 was a pleasure compared to my galaxy tab 10.1.

My life for Aiur
[Nexus 7 General] taltamir:
I didn't see such an option in the menu you get to while reading a book. However I looked around and found a separate different settings menu for that app. So it has two different preferences menus and they do not link to each other.

Anyways, thank you.
[Nexus 7 General] paulsam7:
Tried that, and it didn't help with the book I'm currently reading. Not a problem for me, anyway, since I like to read in portrait mode (more like a "real" book.)
[Nexus 7 General] taltamir:
Even when you set it that way in the options It only works if you set the font to large enough. (max size for me)

I am not sure if it changes based on the relative size or not, but having set the margins to smallest and the text to most dense I found that it only shows it as a unified page if I set font to max size, It might be smaller then max sized with a different set of density setting.. or not, who knows.
[Nexus 7 General] jamaro1985:
Enjoying reading on my N7.

I would like it if I could load books from my laptop and have them show up in Play Books though.
[Nexus 7 General] jtc276:
Honestly it's sort of making me rethink my purchase of the Nook Simple Touch with Glowlight a few months ago. Don't get me wrong, the Nook is easily the best eink reader in the business and reading on it is awesome...but reading on the Nexus is pretty amazing. I had owned a Nook Color that I wasn't very fond of because it did strain the eyes after reading for a while. But the extra dpi on the Nexus makes the text crystal clear and simple to read on. Btw, if you need a recommendation for a Ereader app, definitely go for Aldiko. It's perfect.

---------- Post added at 12:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:49 PM ----------

The newest Nook Simple Touch with Glowlight fixes most of those issues. The page turns are quick and the backlight works very well. But you're probably right on the Nexus 7 being the better eReader.
[Nexus 7 General] taltamir:
What about the battery issues when using really high font size and thus turning pages a lot?
[Nexus 7 General] neotekz:
I still prefer reading with my kindle. Using eink is a lot easier on the eyes than using a backlight display. battery life is also much better with my kindle than the nexus, I usually get double the battery life even with the lighted case.

Did someone do a test on this to see how long the battery will last with more page turns? I'm not convinced that a nexus 7 can out last a nook or kindle even when using bigger font.
[Nexus 7 General] Metallice:
If your not touching the screen the lower power companion core will probably be doing the work. When you touch the screen it will ramp up the regular CPUs for touch responsiveness. So I would say yes.
[Nexus 7 General] neotekz:
im not saying using bigger font will not decrease battery life faster, we all know that page turn on eink equals power consumption. im just not convince a kindle or nook will only last 5 hours with bigger font unless you are just sitting there constantly turning the pages for 5 hour, even then i would have to see evidence to believe it.
[Nexus 7 General] amryan:
Audio Book

Just got the nexus 7...wanting to start using audio books purchased from Amazon (also using the Kindle app)... What's the best approach to doing this? Anyone else doing this right now?
[Nexus 7 General] taltamir:
if you purchased them from amazon then get the kindle app.
[Nexus 7 General] guthrien:
I bought Aldiko premium and it's quite a good ePub reader. It does PDF reasonably too. The killer app for me though is Calibre catalog which allows me to connect with my home calibre library and thousands of books in a nice catalog.

I find the PPI is good enough to not see pixelation which is essential to me. It's the only tablet I've used that way besides the iPad 3 and now hopefully the Infinity. The Nexus however has the best weight. I do dislike how hard it is to dim for reading.
[Nexus 7 General] fairyliquidizer:
I have to say that I greatly prefer my kindle over nexus for books. It is much easier in the eye. I have the kindle keyboard with Amazon case including LED light. This is perfect for night reading and much easier on the eye.
[Nexus 7 General] volwrath:
Moon+ is a much better reader than mantano. mantanos interface is horrid. Having said that, for reading pdfs, mantanos is probably the best due to its margin cropping ability
[Nexus 7 General] thebobp:
Screen uses up the majority of the battery (pretty much in every scenario).

I found mantano cropper didn't work at all, ended up using ebookdroid for cropping purposes.
[Nexus 7 General] OneDeep:
I'm thinking about buying a kindle for one of my chicks since she like reading all of a sudden and trying to decide if I should get her a regular kindle touch, fire, or N7. She don't have Wi-Fi in her apartment so what would be the best way for her to add books? Also what would be the better since she's an apple fan so I don't think she would appreciate Android. I just want her to have the best .
[Nexus 7 General] thebobp:
No wifi pretty much rules the N7 (unless she's really just using it for reading). You can't even get past the setup screen. A dedicated reader might be preferable in that case.

Get her a N7 and wifi router :D
[Nexus 7 General] taltamir:
Set up wifi for her. No wifi is a HUGE issue no matter what tablet she gets

Although being an apple fan she might prefer an iPad. I suggest you let her decide after showing her the options and the differences in price.
[Nexus 7 General] brianjr1:
There is absolutely no reason to get a Kindle fire, whatsoever. You can get her a wifi router for pretty cheaply and just load pdfs onto the device. Or if she has a computer she can just drag and drop onto them. I use aldiko reader for textbooks at college and it's phenomenal.
[Nexus 7 General] amryan:
Will the kindle app also play audio books? That's what I am looking for.
[Nexus 7 General] munir3124:
Thanks !! It was helpful..Tried Moon reader and is actually a very nice reader..Yeah I now realize how much Google Play books is missing..
[Nexus 7 General] taltamir:
I don't know, but I am guessing it plays everything amazon sells.

I know the nook app looks like the inside of the nook tablet and lets me play various forms of media.
[Nexus 7 General] volwrath:
A regular kindle nt is $45 this week at Amazon
[Nexus 7 General] volwrath:
Interesting. It works fine for me, but I tend to only use it for a few pdfs, otherwise I will use repligo. I'll check out ebookdroid, thanks.
[Nexus 7 General] timeslip1974:
use mort audio book player to play your audio books, its free on the market place
[Nexus 7 General] khaytsus:
I've always been a fan of FBReader and FBSync to keep my devices in sync with each other. Maybe Moon has fixed their bugs, but last I tried it, it did WEIRD stuff with my epubs. Huge blank gaps randomly, I'd have to page 5+ times to get to the next page of stuff.. Some weird stuff about having to change chapters or something, some other stuff...

FBReader just works, and it has a ton of function. I wish it had built-in cloud sync vs FBSync, but it works.

Aha, cool. The latest FBSync here on XDA has autosync when exiting FBReader. :D
[Nexus 7 General] Fataldesain:
What do for now is use the nook app and side load all my books. I hate PDF so I use calibre to convert to epub and have a lot of books. For me I dont why but the app has to be nice and look nice.
[Nexus 7 General] dagreek05:
I used the nook app for awhile and then switched to the Kobo app because you can put a widget on your homescreen of each book to open. I also bought mantano reader premuim.....its nice as well
[Nexus 7 General] kisrita:
Try moon reader again on your Nexus, I haven't experienced those issues on my devices, so it may have been fixed over time or just didn't work on the device you were using. I was going to try fbreader again thinking with the tts plugin and fbsync it has the same options now, but I don't want to spend time rooting my tablet, so I'm sticking with moon reader, it just works without any extra workaround.
[Nexus 7 General] volwrath:
I also haven't had problems with moon+ and it's sync works really well and is built in
[Nexus 7 General] Lorka:
Ah! Good to know - thanks for the heads up ;)
[Nexus 7 General] brando56894:
I'd imagine e-ink displays would be better for long-term reading or outside reading, I've never really used one though. I love reading on tablets because I hate reading books in low light but the screen does hurt my eyes after a while, but then again so does every LCD screen.
[Nexus 7 General] proud_whovian:
E-ink is of course better for reading a book (I like nook with glow light) but if u don't want to be switching between tablet and ereader, plus the added expense of buying 2 devices tablet it is :)
