Root now and flash the many awesome custom roms available.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Teo032:
Just root now. If anything the official jb will probably still have bugs.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] lazarat:
Lol who knows how long it takes until they send ota update;)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
This is something i always wonder why people debate on which to do. Why would you wait? Im sure most here are here to take advantage of being able to root and use SU permissions??? So if you root/flash now you will have a rooted OTA JB rom in no time from release. Why wait? My thoughts at least lol.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] herpehancock:
Just root and flash a recovery, then make an immediate full backup of your stock rom. I personally hate TW so there was no going back since day one haha
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Lawful123:
Root now. Who knows if jb will allow you to root.

So, I managed to come into some books from a friend. Sadly, they are all in .pdf format. What I want to do is read them on Google Play Books. As of right now, I am using Aldiko Reader (if that's how you spell it), but that thing is so slow when flipping pages, that I can't take it. I really like the Google Play books app, so any way to import these books into the app, so I can read them? Or, any suggestions on good apps for reading .epub and .pdf books?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] veeman:
Fabrik and Mantano.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] tonybhoy:
i uploaded my pdf's to google drive downloaded adobe reader and it works well,prefer to keep them in the drive as i have 11,000 of them
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] CokeFever:
I recommend to use Amazon Kindle to read PDF... :good:
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Hyrax:
Epdf is amazing! it is a pay app, but it is the only software out there besides google books that render page flipping so well.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] ronin688:
I'd recommend Moon+.

I don't like the flipping pages in any app, (I prefer an instant page change with no animations) but I tried the Moon+ one after seeing ppl here asking about it and it seemed really nice. You can control the speed of the animation I believe.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] n7of9:
+1 for Moon+

you currently can't import books into Google Books (boo!)
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] mughalgxt:
Am a medical graduate, read lots of pdf as reference, plus doing postgraduation in computer science, have programming and system designing books all in pdf. Always prefer my KINDLE DXG, else RepliGO on my NEXUS 7. RepliGO is way faster than other available options, with fast annotation, cropping feature etc. Though its a paid app :(
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] AMoosa:
If you have multiple devices, the Fabrik cannot be beaten. There is a free and paid version. There will never be any ads on the reading view with the free version.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] F3L1XZS:
I tried using Fabrik the other day, and it completely crapped out on me, no pictures, no enter dividing lines, it was a bunch of jumbled text, and unable to view my larger files. I think I'll just stick to kindle.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] magedawson:
I have tried about 5 different book readers on my nexus 7. All have been good but the nook app seems to look and work best for me with epubs. You have to move your epub files to the my documents folder with a file explorer program like ES file explorer or root explorer. But after that its great. Nice bookshelf screen and fast smooth page turn effects. Works with comic book files also. I just tried a PDF and no luck there.

I just got myself a Nexus 7 and the first thing I did was to put a lot of good 70's and 80's SF books on it and then I got myself a problem - all the apps were bad. Luckily, after ten apps I've got a Kobo and it's great! Fast, reliable, great for reading EPUB files. All the others mentioned here including Aldiko are no match for it.

aaaaah you can try "blio reader" it is a nice option, a nicely built app with flip animations and also importing the book

KINDLE

The kindle app is great. just place the pdf's epub's etc into the kindle folder and they appear in the app interface. :)
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] nimrodity:
I still think montano reader pro is the, especially for PDF files, since 2.38 the rendering on my nexus7 is almost instantly even even with high resolution ones

[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] icesteve:
the best way I have found is to use the Kindle app. It will open pdfs fine but I did not like the formatting so I checked around and found library/conversion software Calibre.

Download Calibre and you can add pdfs to it, then add book cover, table of contents ect and then convert it into .mobi (kindle book) and send it your device, it is the best way to get a legitimate looking Kindle Book. The best part is the software recognizes Nexus 7 so pushing books to your device is as easy as pressing a button once you convert them.

http://calibre-ebook.com/download
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] rmm200:
Best thing about calibre is the book server option. Main library stays on the PC, and the books you want to read now download over Wi-Fi.

Well one of the best things...

[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] mehras1991:
Nook is the best for all features, just install it, copy your (whatever format) books to the Nook folder already made on SD card, & enjoy doing all the stuff you did on kindle or google play books, plus you get to flip pages much much better.

have fun
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Larry94:
Surprised to see that no one has mentioned ezPDF Reader. I purchased it way back in the $0.25 sale and used it across all my devices.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=udk.android.reader&hl=en

For reading epubs and other files, I recommend the Nook app as it has my favorite page animation and reads sideloaded files fine. (sdcard/NOOK/MyDocuments)

Cool Reader and Aldeko are also good choices.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Kraize:
My favorite is Mantano reader.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mantano.reader.android

It's fast, has great animations, and is visually the best looking ebook reader out there. There's also a lite and free version.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] BLAQK ROXSTAR:
Moonreader+ is a great app as well. It reads most ebook formats and reads comics as well. It also syncs your reading position with Dropbox.

I tried to install and it shows that nexus 7 is not compatible:(
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] rootusr:
That is because you are in some unsupported country just like me, Go to the Play Store and download some VPN app such as Tunnel Bear, it will give you enough data to download the APP.

just connect to the VPN using some US server,

Stop PlayStore app and clear the cache from the app.

Open play store again and you should be able to install Nook, I tested it myself.

However.. I have not been able to open any PDF in the app, someone said that you could use it for any format, not working for PDFs at least for me. I'm putting the files in the My Documents folder.

Best option for me so far, Mantano reader, Text Reflow is great!

Definitely there are differences between PDF, ePub and iBook. And play book only supports PDF and ePub i guse iBook is specially for apple.

I'm actually confused about one thing my device downloads tons of data just to make a PDF of about 20MB available offline. Does the same things happen to anybody else?

You know you are a Redneck if... :cowboy:

I know this is totally tacky on such a beautiful phone...

I have a note 1 and 3 extra Batteries... Now with my Note 2 I am only running with the single battery. I am leaving for Paris in a week and I wanted to take advantage of having a couple back ups, but don't have time to get them in from Hong Kong. So I decide to see if it was hard to custom fit the Note 1. Turned out pretty simple... Just took some rolled note paper to fill the gap and a tad bit of tape to secure the roll (no tape on the phone). Works perfect as a backup!

[Galaxy Note II General] CrozB:
I added tape around the 3 non-contact sides. This makes it a breeze to get in and out.

The battery is 75% smaller, so I figure if I get 50-75% of the main battery life as a "back up" then I am golden for now :) Extra battery fits fine in my Wallet.

Hello I have rooted nexus 7 and I flashed motley kernal 1.1.1 with 484gpu. If I want to flash the 520mhz gpu version can I just flash directly over or is there another procedure? Also if I want to flash a different kernal like Francos is it the same procedure? Thanks

just flash it over what you have now, no need to wipe anything. not dalvik, not cache. they have nothing to do with kernels.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Toyeboy:
Okay thanks for the fast replies. Is the 520mhz gpu safe or is that pushing it?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rycon33:
The worst thing that can happen in overclocking cpu and/or gpu is system reboot only. It automatically shuts down due to high temperature most of the time. Look and observe for your stable clock that the device can handle without freeze and/or reboot. That's from my personal experience.

Tapatalked from my Ace 2
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
true. if its too high a gpu overclock, your device will let you know. if its jittery when scrolling, if you get artifacts on the screen, if it gives you reboots or freezes. the worst thatll happen is it wont boot or just freeze up. in that case just flash another kernel. 520mhz you should be fine. ive ran clemsyns and morfics 700mhz gpu kernels and am still alive to talk about it ;)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Toyeboy:
Yeah so far no problems on the 520mhz GPU :) only faster framerates.

Can someone recommend a quality stock sized battery with the highest mAh value?

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Elpidio:
MUGEN 2650 mAh, around $45.00 off eBay. But for another $45.00 more, you can have the MUGEN 5400 mAh battery and back cover.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Jake_HT:
Anker 2700mah I found to be a bit better than stock. Probably because my stock battery was put through so much damn charging for 6 months the fresh anker battery seems better

Either way it's only 10 bucks, best deal for sure. :good:

I got a 3500mah battery off eBay for like 25 bucks from E-cell, a quality Japanese company. Its pretty decent, last all day under moderate to heavy use. I recommend, expecially for cost,
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] omniphil:
Nothing that fits under the stock cover will last any longer than the stock unit. All of those claims of higher ratings are all smoke and mirrors...

If you want something that last longer get the Mugen 5400mah with cover. I've never looked back and I never have to worry about battery life anymore.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Elpidio:
I have this battery, my only problem is nobody makes a case for it. I bought the ones that's made for the hyperion international version, with a little massaging, it fits but the power and volume rocker are hard to operate. If and when you can find a case that fits, would you kindly post or PM me where to buy it from. Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] omniphil:
Nothing I have found. But I understand where your coming from. I can no longer use it in the Car Dock, I had to use a universal dock.

But unfortunately I have many aftermarket batteries that are the stock size and they all claim to be something they are not. So you have a few options...

1. Use a large battery and deal with the downsides.

2. Live with the smallish battery life.

3. Get a new phone.

I am planning on getting the Note 2 and even though it comes with a larger battery I will probably still buy a larger battery for it if one becomes available as I have realized that having my phones last for 2-3 days has become such a huge asset that it outweighs the downsides. Its actually quite liberating not having to always worry where I'm going to charge my phone. 16 planes rides, 4 hour bus rides, tons of heavy GPS/Map use. I never worry anymore...

I think Samsung (and others) really needs to start making the phones thicker instead of thinner and putting larger batteries in them. I would gladly buy something like a Galaxy Note that is say 50% thicker with a huge battery, vs having to go aftermarket and getting a 100% thicker phone. This obsession with thin phones is for cosmetic reasons and is something I would normally say happens with the Apple crowd as they tend to buy phones for how it makes them look, not necessarily for what the phone does. No offense to any Apple folks, but you know what i'm talking about. If you have a small phone, ok sure thin might be an advantage. But what the heck is the point of making a 5+ inch phone thin as can be?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dubsteps:
Excellent points. Thanks!

I have a nice case, but only allows for a standard battery...

I just had the stupidest argument just a few hours earlier about this very thing. My Note is pretty much a computer I carry on my belt. If I could just get rid of the 450 minutes and get, say, 100 minutes and put the balance towards a higher data plan, I'd be better off. I guess it just depends on how you use your phone. Mine is a life line, but not to call anyone. ;) If otterbox made a case to fit a bigger battery, I'd rock it all; my wife gets all shame-faced with me when I use my phone because she says it's like I'm holding a wall up to my face..

Your first link is for the international version and wont fit an AT&T note. It also is not 3500mah, those are fake claims, its the same as the stock battery.

Your second link will actually give you more battery capacity. Around 5 hours of screen on time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lastdeadmouse:
6 hrs. screen on for me consistently. It effective doubled my battery life, which makes sense, because it is essentially 2 cells sandwiched. See my comment in the thread about the laza for a bit of a review.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lastdeadmouse:
With the exception of branding, it looks like the laza. 5600mah is doubtful. Seriously, all the extended batteries look to be to stock battery clones sandwiched, and since all the aftermarket batteries are highly unlikely to match OEM capacity per cell, 5ah is the best we can reasonably expect.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] omniphil:
I would agree, I have two sets of those from another manufacture and they are not 5600mah, I get about an hour less screen on time compared to my Mugen 5400mah, and those batteries are slightly thinner than the Mugen, so I would put then at 4600mah or so...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DollarStrawz:
I also picked up the Anker deal on amazon. 2 reg battery's and charger. They have been working great and I haven't needed the second one yet unless I'm like camping or something. But its nice to always have a full one ready. Also the charger has a USB on it so you can charge both at same time, one in the phone of course.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] khaytsus:
My battery has been acting weird, quickly discharging to 70 then slowing down etc so figured the battery was dying as this is usually the symptom. Got the two pack of Onite and wall charger and so far so good. Charged both but no run time on them yet. I'll keep the original charged and with me just in case.

Even though the original is slightly swelling, heh.

It is actually odd for me to own a phone long enough to need a new battery, as I treat them good and update fairly often but I am holding out to see how custom roms go with the ATT Note 3 or maybe the rumored Note 3 Active.
