OK, so you can double-tap on the "speaker" icon in the dock and "remove" it. Then uninstall Akimbo, MX Player (and the ffmpeg codec app as well), TuneIn Radio, and RecordThatNote.

To make sure the activity picker responds to requests to open different kinds of files, download and install Opera Mobile. This old browser is not really functional any longer but it has the odd effect of waking up the activity picker so that it shows all the possible choices to open files. You don't ever have to interact with Opera Mobile at all. Just install it. There are no background processes associated with it.

Once you've done that, open the Quick Tiles panel and long-press on the pencil icon in the lower right corner. The activity picker should respond with a list of possible apps to use. First go the end of the list and check the little box. Then select "ES Note Editor". After that, all .txt files will open automatically in this part of ES File Explorer. That will allow you to make simple edits on text files on the device.

Next, configuring the various reader apps. We'll skip the stock reader because you already know about that. Are you going to use the Amazon Kindle app (for .mobi)?

It needs to be registered to an existing Amazon account to work. Do you want to do that?

Edit: I have made some good progress with the Weather widget app. You can see in the screenshot below that the forecast panel, time and widget all agree (since the time is after sunset, the day/night indicator in the widget is different from that in the panel for 17:00). Just need to do more testing for different time zones and units and also am waiting for a reply from OWM about how they decide when the first forecast time will be.
[Nook Touch General] aykov77:
Done! only not sure how to uninstall ffmpeg codec app, or that codec was uninstalled automatically together with MX Player during its uninstallation?

Done!

Done!

If there is option will use Amazon Kindle app for .mobi, not sure if there is better one... still not checked on my Nook Tablet :(

Excellent :) Beautiful, hope will be with happy end ;)
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
Sorry for the delay. The Weather widget has been consuming a lot of my brain power and time, but it's all but tested now, so soon....

I have been working on another issue now and then and the solution to a number of small problems has led me to alter NST UI and SetCover. Updated apps are attached below. Uninstall the previous versions, install these and initialize each by tapping on the icon (approve SuperUser access).

Also I have made some changes to the Amazon Kindle app itself to make the font larger for the dictionary (it was VERY small) and also to open a "side door" into the app so that you can go directly to the bookshelf. Uninstall the previous Amazon Kindle app and install the modified one (below) as well as the Kindle Books app (below).

Open the SiMi Folder app and go to your Readers folder. Select "Add" (application), and when you get there uncheck the Amazon Kindle app and check instead the Kindle Books app. Sort the list to your liking and save.

The effect of these changes is that the the Kindle Books app behaves like the Nook Library app, taking you always to the Kindle bookshelf. Once you are reading a book, the bookcover widget on the home screen or the "now reading" button at the left of the status bar will open the book directly without going through the library or bookshelf. So it will work just like the stock reader.

Now the the Kindle app itself. You need to have an Amazon account and you must have 2-factor verification turned on. That means when you try to register the Kindle app Amazon will send you a 6-digit

extra

password by mobile phone. You

add

this to the password you already typed in (and which failed) and then the app will register and you can use it. See images below.

To get to the Kindle registration screen, tap on the actual Amazon Kindle app (in the app drawer), not the Kindle Books app. Be sure WiFi is on. Type in the email address you use with Amazon and the password you use with Amazon. Then tap on Register. You will get an error message and very quickly a text from Amazon on your phone with the 6-digit password. Without deleting anything you have already typed in,

add

the 6 digits onto the end of the password you already typed in. Tap on "Register" again and it should go through. If it doesn't you may have made an error typing in the password. Try again.

Once the Kindle app is up and running you will always enter it through the Kindle Books app in your Readers folder.

When initialized, the Kindle app creates the folder "kindle" on the sdcard. Mobi books must go there. There is no ability to change that. If you place an English-language book there and open Kindle Books and begin to read the book with WiFi on, you can long-press on a word and it will ask if you want to download a dictionary (yes!). When that's done you will have a copy of a dictionary for off-line use.

If there is some issue with the app itself in Bulgaria, we'll find something else for mobi books.

"There was a problem -You've requested too many OTPs today. You can request a new OTP in 24 hours." after many attempts :( will try again after 24h ...

Everything above was done till this crash when " Tap on "Register" again and it should go through." Will try after 24 h, hope will manage...

It was not a problem to enter my Amazon.com account with username & password and to change to 2-step verification, but was not easy way and option will be to wait for... will continue this part tmrw :(
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
Sorry about that. The password thing is a pain and I have had times when it just would not work, only to find I had made a mistake in the original password. The stupid keyboard does not help. You have to look at the password field as you enter each character to be sure it is correct.

Edit: I just tried this again this afternoon (Saturday) and had no trouble with it.

Be sure you are starting from the actual Amazon Kindle app, not my Kindle Books

. Although they both take you to the same place, I don't think registration will work via Kindle Books.

It's possible the app is geoblocked, but I've never seen anyone say that. If you can't get it to work we can use something like FBReader. I think that can read both .mobi and the newer .azw3

Edit: I've attached the re-worked Weather widget app. I've tested everything I can think of for locations around the world except for the transition to daylight/summer time. That won't happen for me until March 10 and later in the month for you. But I don't believe it will be an issue as I've rewritten most of the timezone stuff and almost all of the forecast panel section so it doesn't even care whether it's standard time or daylight time. It just works from the timezone shift supplied from OWM and goes from there.

Uninstall the old version (copy down your geocoordinates and the API) and then install the new one and tap on the icon to begin setup.
[Nook Touch General] aykov77:
Right, all I did was very precise as per your instructions and following every symbol typing into the password field... will try again after 3-4 hrs when 24 h will be gone...

I'm sure it is not the geoblocked reason, will confirm later and even entering the Amazon Kindle would be nice to install FBReader if you think is good if having more options than only .mobi. Why Amazon Kindle is better than FBReader then?

Pleasure is mine to try this new version, already installed and working perfect :) Beautiful! P.1

Thanks!!!

:)
[Nook Touch General] aykov77:
Done! entered the Amazon Kindle P.1, ready now :)
[Nook Touch General] aykov77:
What I noticed when was checking the new NSTWeather_2.0:

-P.1 noticed old information and when I left it open awaiting to update message came on P.2, then I pressed "Force Close" and after again activating P.3 as refreshed info came the same message on P.4

Only sharing what I have experienced today.
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
I have no ideas. The panel is not meant to be open when it updates, but more to the point, it should not update except at 0330 each day. Yours is doing some magic at about 1100, which should not be possible.

I'm a little alarmed by the time intervals in the final view. They should always be in order and always start at 0200 (or 0100 during your summer time).

Also, in the first two views the widget does not match any panel condition for 0800, although the date difference is confusing to me. Those photos were taken on Sunday?

Unless you do a manual weather retrieval (from the Settings panel) very early in the day, the panel will not be complete in the first column but the widget should still match the appropriate entry (except for day/night changes for sunrise and sunset).

Right now I suggest you leave it alone for a day and wait to see if it settles down. Again, the panel does not change during the day. It only changes when a fresh set of data is downloaded, either automatically at 0330, or when you do a manual retrieval.

This may be harder to diagnose than I thought. I can change the time zone on my device and it seems to think it's in Helsinki-or wherever-but the date confusion may be masking weird stuff. I'll put one of my devices back on your time and observe for a few days.

Edit: looking back at your earlier post and comparing it looks like you did a manual data retrieval? I can't emphasize enough how important it is not to rush looking at the panel. If you try that before all the processing is done you can get the error message displayed, and the panel may be mixed up when it finally does appear Again, best to leave it alone for a day and see what it looks like tomorrow morning..
[Nook Touch General] aykov77:
What I think the weather update should come anytime when the system require, but that will be the last actual publication of weather forecast available in the website... not sure if I think properly

all these photos I did today before noon around the time when I replied to this message with fresh photos which were done after starting the device. Last night I Powered it off...

Even I did a manual weather retrieval and then I did all those photos

Do you men not to power it off? to keep it in sleep mode?

The standard mean time for Bulgaria is same as Athens, Greece and Romania... but Istanbul Summer Mean Time and Winter is different, not as before it was same...

Right, I did manual data retrieval, to check if data will be updated, after I saw old information has been displayed...

No rush at all, just wanted to see the new functionality :) and that caught me to get my curiosity how it respond in time and dates

Most probably that is the reason to get that error message displayed... will leave it in sleep mode, not powered off

P.1 is from now after NSTG being awake, not powered on and without manual data retrieval
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
No. That would require much too much battery power. The app is designed to only fetch a 5-day forecast once every 24 hours. This is the information displayed on the panel. During the day, data is supplied to the widget from the same stored data.So it seems "live", but it is not.

And there's the problem (or at least one). The app is set to retrieve weather data at 0330 each day. I picked this time for many reasons. It gives a full screen of data, It is doing all the processing when most people are asleep so you don't run into the problem of the panel being accessed too soon, and most people leave the device on all the time. When you power up, you have no new data and no notification that the weather update failed (which is what you see if for some reason it could not contact OWM).

Yes, but it's not right. Each column is now spread over two days. The times should begin at 0200 and end at 2300, not start at 0800, so I'm not even sure the actual weather data is in the right place. I've got one of mine up and running now with your time zone and city. I will turn off the device tonight and then try a manual retrieval at about 1100 your time tomorrow (for me) to see what happens. That's all I can do now to try and duplicate your experience.

But, yes, the app is meant to work best on a device that is on all the time. If you leave the device off and then come back in fewer than 5 days it should reorganize the data for the days remaining that it has data for (the last few columns may be blank). If you come back and turn it on

after

5 days have elapsed you get a notification that the weather data has expired and to tap on the widget to start it up again.

So I'll see if I can duplicate your experience.
[Nook Touch General] aykov77:
All above was done, but in subfolder: /sdcard/kindle/Dictionairies/English remained empty... right?

P.1 having a lot of squares as not recognized symbols

P.2 came a strange screen indication as empty message

P.3 is ok with different kind of menu as you mentioned abve

P.4 down scroller/slider for brightness is not working or I don't know how it responding

Got it, working properly, thanks

P.5 then download completed

P.6 is the home screen, but this is the old book which was before there on the same place..

P.7 is before all above to be done...

P.8 whatever I do from the home screen when I tap on either the book cover image or the "reading now" button at the upper left of the status bar always is coming the Nook Used Guide and none of the either book... :(

When I tap over a word is coming P.9 menu and P.10 when I touch "Look Up" is not translating to Bulgarian...

No idea if everything is fine ? Using Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, 11th Ed.

Even after Power off/on is same, opening the Nook User Guide :(

So, which 2 files would you recommend to keep as more reach of words dictionary as one set of dictionary files in the /sdcard/kindle folder at one time?

After power on/off I cannot find my old .epub book which was on the main screen :( I forgot in what directory I placed this file... better to keep all epub & mobi in same folder, what do u think?

Thanks a lot!
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
I have updated the apk attached in post https://xdaforums.com/t/the-nstg-turns-10-time-for-a-makeover.4488695/post-89362151.

Same as before, uninstall the old one (you must have the coordinates and API written down somewhere by now...) and install the new one.

Let's see if you can find something wrong with

this

one ;)
[Nook Touch General] aykov77:
Thanks, new installation duly completed. P.1 & V.2 if all you think is ok would be fine :) but something is wrong with opening my previous book .epub format :( and right side of temperatures in weather forecast screen are indicated with "-" or I'm wrong if there should be something else...

Will be happy if all is fine for you.

Thanks!
[Nook Touch General] aykov77:
Right, that I did as per all instructions in your previous post, this folder consist now with 2 files which were downloaded directly with pressing the button for online download.

Got it, I thought they are missing symbols :) but not

Will be mine pleasure to sort it out whatever time is taken :) On hold

So, is this brightness controller functional or is not in use with NSTG?

Right, you mentioned how to capture the cover of the book in previous post. Even after reboot with power off/on and after opening of the Kindle app book, when the first page with cover is displayed and long-press of the lower right hardware button (which is linked to SetCover) still same happening :( again is opening the Nook User guide book :( ...

I did as you described, and I noticed now proper functionality... no idea why before even after power off/on was not responding accurately...

Here is shame on me to say that I was still waiting for you to decompile the Babylon file where more words I presume are available in EN-BG dictionary... Now going back to install your given dictionary...

Done! with updated file for avoiding of double citations... P.1 & 2 with confirmation button pressed

I confirm I downloaded the English dictionary for the Kindle app and installed as per your instructions.

"To swap out a KINDLE dictionary, you need to move the two files out of the kindle folder and into /sdcard/kindle/Dictionary/English. " here I confirm I moved the two files as you described here and in your last post, but I don't remember now which 2 files are active now for Kindle... For the stock reader EN-BG is active.

Right, happy to have all in order even with small EN-BG dictionary for the stock reader. You are very right, even I don't know how I tend to use a dictionary when reading and what kind of material I will be reading :)

You are very right with keeping each book for the given reader in a dedicated folder for that reader, Thanks!

I found the file The Little Prince.epub in sdcard/My files/Books, but is not opening :(

Got it, to hide the "My Files" folder on both the sdcard and /media & to created a "Nook" folder on the sdcard only where to keep all books despite .mobi for Kindle Book reader :) good!

Will be good to hide everything I don't need to see & use... should be clean and folders with minimum files required or empty if possible to avoid troubles with any apk... Another headache :( but is better to be well arranged, like in a Phramacy shore :)
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
The weather panel is correct. The "-" are there because no rain or snow is forecast for that period. If there is some expected the dash will be replaced by either "tr" ( trace) or an amount in cm.

Edit: looks like you have a sight chance of rain on Tuesday night, late

In your video there are a few problems I see. The badge is incorrect (should say "kindle") and of course it goes to the wrong book. Check /media/NowReading/BookType. There should be only one value there (2). I suspect you have both 1 and 2. If so, delete the 1 and try tapping on the book cover image (or "reading now" button) again. Does that now work?

That problem often happens when a new version of SetCover is installed. It only happens the first time you change books.

As for the badge, I did a new version of SetCover for both you and me at the same time and I saw last night that mine is messed up, so I need to go back and look at that.

Edit: OK, I've got mine fixed. Just need to change the widget ID to 5 for you and recompile.

Edit-Edit: Your new app is attached below. Uninstall the old SetCover and install this one. Tap on the icon to initialize and give SU permission. That should fix it (it did mine) but you may still get a double value in /media/NowReading/BookType the first time you change books (I did), so be on the look out for that if it opens up the wrong book when everything else seems to have worked.

You cannot open an epub by tapping on the file. B&N never wanted anyone to install a file manager so there is no "listener" in the reader application. Someone wrote a tiny app years ago that fixes this but the problem then is that you must either always open that book from the file manager or from the Library because your place in the book is not shared between the two methods.

Best to stick with the Library. So why is your book not visible in the Library? Try moving the file to another folder and then back. Sometimes the media scanner is really blind. Did the book ever appear in the Library?

Edit: I've attached a screenshot of the formerly blank box when you first open the Kindle reader. To see it for yourself you would have to uninstall, register again, etc. Not worth it.
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
No. I could try to remove it from the screen but it would probably just open up a rat's nest of problems. You can still turn on the light within the Kindle app by 1) long-pressing on the left side near the frame to activate GL Gesture, 2) long-pressing on the "n" button, or 3) tapping the area at the top where QuickTiles is active and using the Glowlight tile.

Edit: I have updated the apk file for Amazon Kindle back in post https://xdaforums.com/t/the-nstg-turns-10-time-for-a-makeover.4488695/post-89360994. It has all changes I have been able to make. You can just install it over the version your already have. I did try to hide the light control but it refused to run at all, so I give up on that. There is a LOT I don't know about Android apps and I can generally only tinker around the edges. Also, some apps are easier to work with than others.

Yeah, me neither. And the user guide has no cover so that is further complicating matters. I may have messed up SetCover when updating it as i mentioned above. I am going to look at that this morning because mine is messed up too!

If you still can't see "The Little Prince" in the Library, there are a few possibilities. The epub may be corrupt or the cover image may be too large for the Nook, although I thought you had it open before? Or maybe you changed the file name after having it open once?

Especially newer books sometimes do not appear in the Library because cover image sizes have become very large over the years (HD...) and the stock Library seems to have a limit for the size of image it can handle. When I get a book like that I use Sigil or Calibre to edit the epub, shrinking the cover image size to something with a vertical dimension of about 540 px.

That's OK. I'm still playing around with it but the software that is supposed to do it is not simple (for me) to install and the directions are really lousy so.... In the end the dictionary might even turn out to be doing in the wrong direction (BG-EN), who knows? That would be annoying.

I noticed that you are storing the apk installation files on the sdcard. I suggest you move those to /media where there is 256 MB of space going unused and you won't have to look at the folder all the time, but it will be there when you want it.
[Nook Touch General] aykov77:
Thanks!

P.1 only 1 file is inside, should I delete it "and to try tapping on the book cover image (or "reading now" button) again"

How to change the widget ID to 5 and recompile?

After installation of the new SetCover is same as on P.1 in /media/NowReading/BookType , one file 1 inside ...

Yes, "The Little Prince.epub" is visible in the Library P.2 in the middle of the first row... Once I touched the file it was opened and the book cover was changed on the main screen under the Now Reading... and now is same as before :)

I pressed KindleBooks from the drawer and the .mobi book was opened... Now how to see the formerly blank box if there is kind of a change? "To see it for yourself you would have to uninstall, register again, etc. Not worth it."... right, it is not worth it... no idea how that is now... :(
