Hi guys, please check out my latest blog post about what's been going on with Fabrik Reader lately: http://fabrikreader.blogspot.com/2012/10/crossing-5000-downloads-and-checking-in.html
[Android Apps and Games] azidhaka:
Lovely reader.

Can you please add a setting for the split-page landscape mode to be able to switch it to single page?
[Android Apps and Games] Sanfe:
are you planned to add the ability to sync with calibre over network? I'm finding this feature in the android world and i dont find any app that make this. congratulations for your great app. this feature is possible adding the opds support

thank you
[Android Apps and Games] isanrap:
Hi there is already an app in the play store called calibre companion that lets you connect your android device to calibre and sync.The other easy way to connect would be to assign a folder in your dropbox to be a device folder in calibre and sync it. As fabrik reader can access your dropbox folders i think the second option would be the easy one to use.
[Android Apps and Games] bordapapa:
This app is fantastic!

I'll follow the development closely, and I'd really buy a premium version to support the development!
[Android Apps and Games] evilRafael:
That's what I do too.

Calibre exports to devices, but I don't know about the other way around, device importing from Calibre. Perhaps you should ask them Calibre guys about this feature too.
[Android Apps and Games] vatualmon:
Congratulations for your app!

The integration in dropbox and the simplicity of the app makes it a must have for me.

And now a feature request: something that I miss from paper books is that you see the cover every time you pick up the book.

Would be nice to implement that every time you open a book the cover was shown during a second or so before going to the mark.

What do you think?
[Android Apps and Games] evilRafael:
Sucks if the book has no cover. But yeah, it would look good with books with good covers.
[Android Apps and Games] mn31pro:
Please support .zim file format too.

Zim is format of offline wikipedia and doese not exist any android application that support this format. If you support .zim your app will be awesome.

Thanks

It drains battery way faster

But ignoring that is a beautiful reading app :D

Great reader!

I just stumbled on this post from my RSS feed in Google Reader. I downloaded the app, sync'ed it to dropbox, threw 3 .epub books (from the library that I cracked using the python script), and voila! The 3 books showed up in Fabrik Reader!

I started at the beginning of the post and read every single reply. What a story! We start with a very basic reader. Then, feature requests are responded to and updated. It's been only about 3 weeks since the OP, and I already lost track of all of the upgrades/feature requests that the developer added in based on feedback. It's amazing! I hope he gets rich... LOL

Seriously, I read a lot, and have been using FBReader for a long time, and periodically check the market to see if any of the readers have updated to allow any type of dropbox (or other) sync. This is the first one I've tried where it actually is included and works!!!

So, MEGA thanks to the developer, and thanks to all of you who got here before me, tested it, and made the suggestions so he could turn this into my daily reader.
[Android Apps and Games] KwiHa:
ebook reader

Great! After couple of weeks (follow the app from beginning and bought it) I can say it's a marvelous app, exactly what I wanna have.

Off course there are few lack but I hope will be sorted. But PLEASE do not push every small shiny request into the app... keep it simple.

DO you know why is it not running on my Nook simple? Are there any restriction for e-paper readers?
[Android Apps and Games] corrob:
Great job so far! I bought the pro version as soon as it came out. I've been using it on my Kindle Fire. I've been having some issues when adjusting the brightness, it sometimes changes the page. Also changing the page sometimes dims the screen. It's a minor annoyance.
[Android Apps and Games] Schneicw:
If you could make the page transition look like Google Books and be as smooth following a finger as Google Books I would not give a second thought about buying it.
[Android Apps and Games] StephenC82:
Are you able to make it so that a new chapter in each book would start a new page. Seems like each new chapter is on the same page and looks like just another block of text.

If you need examples of this I can send you the books to work with.

The following screenshot should explain it.

63 is a new chapter. Would it be possible to have this on a new page instead of following the end of the previous chapter.

I would purchase the pro app for this feature where it to be implemented.

Cracking app by the way, I have also been following the progress, love how it gets the art of the book itself!
[Android Apps and Games] KwiHa:
This is a good example for different reading habit.

For example it should be really annoying for me... :) I hope if he can deal with it, this feature should be not default. ;)

It is a fancy/shinny feature and question same as the smooth page turning animation.

Probably we have more important issues...
[Android Apps and Games] eawert:
Well I would love to have an option like this. It annoys me a little bit that a new chapter starts not at a new page.

So for me it's a pretty urgent request. And yes I know this won't be a big deal for most of the people. But should someone keep quiet?

I bought the pro version because it is such a good app! I hope many updates will follow.

I'm not sure if this was mention and if it was I apologize, but is there a way to turn off the dropbox notifications on my computer from popping up everytime I open a book? I mean just disable it for Fabrik.
[Android Apps and Games] kwazytazz:
can anyone change the font? I tried clicking on all of the font options and they all look pretty much the same.
[Android Apps and Games] thangcuoi:
Perhaps it has to do with the font size you have set? I played with the fonts and settings on my gtablet and they works just fine.
[Android Apps and Games] bliss_:
very usefull app, +1
[Android Apps and Games] ayysir:
Its because its syncing up the cache
[Android Apps and Games] yehoni:
First, let me say I'm a huge fan. This fills a need I've had ever since I got a tablet. Already bought the Pro version.

A few features I'd love to see:

1. The ability to disable brightness controls. It's a cool feature, but I'd rather control the brightness along with the rest of my system, and not have to worry about the effects of accidental swipes.

2. The option to leave the notification bar and virtual buttons completely visible. Having them completely blacked out makes it a bit tougher to know where to tap when turning pages.

3. Access to the main settings dialogue from within a book, instead of having to back out to the library.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] StephenC82:
Just in case you missed my tweet.

Italics seems to be broken. I can see them in one book on Amazon reader or Moon+ reader but not in Fabrik.
[Android Apps and Games] :
Are there any plans to bring this awesome app to other platforms? Would be great if I could use this most beautiful app on Windows 8 :fingers-crossed:
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Like many in this thread, I am a long time FBReader user, and FBSync works okay, as long as you can get the paths to align, and you remember to run it... It has an automatic sync now which sometimes works, other times not, etc....

A few minutes into Fabrik I have some feedback.

As a few have mentioned, it turns the brightness WAY up then back down when launching a book. Can you please have it leave the brightness at the system level THEN change it to the last level set by the user? Right now it looks like as soon as you load a book it goes to 100% then down to the last user set level.

Could you have it read metadata from the books to display information, especially the book titles? I've downloaded most of my books from the Calibre server using FBReader, and now I have a bunch of books named ##.epub, and unfortunately Fabrick shows ## as the book title. I don't know if FBReader named them that way, or Calibre's server, etc, but the damage is done and renaming them would be a pain for the 100 or so books I have in my Dropbox.

Having some sort of minimal database from the metadata it'd also be nice to be able to do things like see books by series, by author, by title, etc.. I know not all formats have such metadata, so perhaps it'd only work on those types of books, others fall into a generic category?

Very nice reader otherwise. I like the Night theme with Night Mode, this is exactly how I read (grey text on black, with backlight down) when I read at night. Everything is really nice looking, although the "bookshelf" could possibly use larger thumbnails. First load time is a little slow, after that it's pretty fast.. Is it downloading the first time, and just loading after, or?
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Update to the market is nice, I no longer see flashes when starting, and the authors, sorting, etc is great! Thank you!

One small rendering bug I wanted to show you, but it's not critical by any means. When sorting by Author, with multiple books it doesn't align quite right, and the book thumbs are overlapping a bit.
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
I know the dev is reading here, or at least I assume so since the last few posts I've made have seen corresponding changes in the market version, thanks, it looks great. :)

Last time you mentioned Box or Drive integration was back very early in betas when you were still getting things stable. With Fabrik insanely complete for a "6 week old project" (how old now?), how close are you to considering other integrations? Personally Dropbox is fine for me, but I'd say Drive is the next most popular. Some folks don't like Dropbox.

And another question, for those who don't use any of those, perhaps they use ownCloud or some other solution, how would one sync the books and positions using a arbitrary solution? Are those positions saved in /data, or is there some other more easily synced file/data that can be synced and work?

And one personal wishlist; option to disable the two column landscape.. On a 7" tablet, landscape single column is good for me. Larger devices I can see two column being better. :)
[Android Apps and Games] kaitara:
Want to thank you for this app!

Was wondering - is there an option to only show the covers, not the titles? I'd like to have a grid option so that more of my books show on the screen at once.

Thank you so much for making this, I'm off to buy the paid version!
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Oh, one wishlist item I forgot about, that's been mentioned here but a while back.. OPDS capabilities.

IMO you could probably start adding some of this advanced functionality to the Pro version and make it a more compelling purchase, but I might get mobbed for that suggestion ;)
[Android Apps and Games] mattman83:
Just a quickie... it seems that Fabrik ignores empty lines? I'm talking about lines between paragraphs, chapters etc. Whilst it's nice getting as much text on a page as possible, sometimes having that more distinct gap for end of chapter or whatever is nice too.
[Android Apps and Games] matt.roberts.33:
LOVE it + a couple request(s) I'd like to see =)

I absolutely love this app, it's hands down the most beautiful ebook reader on the market!

Requests:

1) I would love to see the option to choose the saturation of the background for reading, I'm sure some may prefer ot to be white. If not the level of saturation specifically, then maybe the option to choose a different background completely, whether it be colour or image... you could even have a basic set or 2 or 3 images available for choosing - whether they vary in pattern, colour, or saturation.

2) What if you were to add the option to have a scrolling book, where instead of flipping pages, a user could choose the option to just scroll down and read the book that way?

3) People have said this one before: The ability to use your system brightness, at least as default, and the option to disable the scroll-brightness within a book.

I think that's all... I did buy it, and I love it, just some ideas I'd love to see!

Edit: I'm sorry, I haven't spent enough time with it yet to realize you've already incorporated the brightness option has been added! =)
[Android Apps and Games] Christopher-Swe:
Would be awesome if you could add a option to force the Google Now voice on Jelly Bean devices for "read out loud" if that's possible :)
[Android Apps and Games] SuperBoUDS:
I want to use my custom font to read book. Can you add feature choosing font from system.
[Android Apps and Games] Hektorapps:
great app, top-notch! :)
[Android Apps and Games] BrazenRain:
I mainly use epub files and this app seems to see every page of the Table of Contents as a separate 'chapter.' Besides that minor inconvenience, loving the app and its ease of use.
[Android Apps and Games] azidhaka:
Beautiful app!

Two small problems - changing fonts on Gingerbread does nothing (CM 7.2) and landscape mode (2-page) is not really useful on phones with smallish screens, can you please include a setting to disable that? Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] schlozi23:
I second this! Would it be difficult to assure backward compatibility with 2.1? I also have a rooted Nook Simple Touch (http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1198) and it would be wonderful to run Fabrik on that little device.

Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] gregs887:
This is an amazing e-reader. All I ask is that you make an option for a truly black background option for us Super AMOLED users. White on black would make this my go to reader hands down. Thanks!

A buddy of mine trashed his SGS3 and got it stuck in a boot loop.

He was also handicapped by being on a MAC

As he was able to get into both download mode and recovery, (CWM 5.5.0.x) I assured him he could recover his phone..

Got him to dl loaded the following ROM, and got it copied to his external SD card:

Then booted into recovery, did a factory reset, installed the ROM, (twice) then did a fix permissions

His SGS3 will now boot up to the desktop, and shows the phone signal

The remaining issue is he does not have data working, and there also seems to be an issue with the "home" button.

If this was my Sprint SGS3, I would be thinking there is a SW issue with the modem drivers or some such, but I am unsure how to check/verify this on the t-mobile version, and was looking for tips on what to load, and/or what to check to resolve the lack of data signal on his SGS3.

Phone info:

Samsung SGS3 - SGH-T999

carrier: t-mobile

baseband version: T999UVLH2

Any tips? :confused:

This is my preference, but as he has a MAC, thats doesn't seem to be an option

Does he still have it? easiest way to check is *#06# on dialer

Also is there a possibility it might be blacklisted ?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DCRocks:

Not that I am aware of, it was working before he started messing with it, and just got it into a bootloop he couldnt get out of.

Can you also ask him to check the APN settings for Tmobile. It will be in more settings for networks and Access Point.

Hi, not sure if it's just my luck, I was trying to play music using the build in music player, and it won't play. I left the music player on, and use my landline to call the cellphone and pick it up. After hang up, the music player FC then the screen go back to song list. Then after that the music play fine. Pandora and everything works good.

[Galaxy S III General] tanjiajun_34:
About camera....

GS3 and 4S is using the same camera module. If Apple does not upgrade, it should be already about S3's camera standards.... Its not about MP I am talking... Of cos for iPhone 5 if they changed the camera, it would not be lousier than the 4S's camera... So its a high chance it can beat S3 in camera...

About GPU...

PowerVR 543MP2 is inside the 4S. I didn't say it beats S3's Mali 400. Apple loves to use PowerVR graphics. And if they upgrade to lets say... 543MP4 (iPad 3's GPU), it will beat the hell out of Mali 400 and Adreno 320.... And getting 543MP4 is very likely IMO...
[Galaxy S III General] Simonetti2011:
I was thinking the same thing this morning.

It would be so cool if Samsung would do an official release of JB for the S III later today or tomorrow morning... that would steal all the lights and attention from Apple.
