Without buttons, it makes most of them a bit useless.

I have mobipocket reader installed at the moment, and this will handle html and plain txt files, which are what most of the books I have are in, but I am wondering if there's anything better.

On the iPhone there's a really nice one that slides the pages up and down by tapping the top or bottom of the page, but I forget what it was called. I remember it cost about £5 though, but it was worth it.

Ideally something that displays full screen, will handle plain text and html, as well as other formats, and will turn the page by touching the screen.

The issue I have with mobipocket is the file and folder navigation seems really messed up, and you can't expand the column sizes when you want to look at the files in the open file window. With long book names you have no idea what they are :(

Any suggestions?

TIA

TRy these

I use mobibook too but have also tried these:

uBook: not bad but menu's a bit small.

Allreader+: pretty good but hard to figure out options

Tiny reader: poor

Mobipocket is great for the commercial books in PRC format. I can touch the screen on the bottom to turn a page.

I also have AEB+ to map the volume buttons to up/down and I use it to rotate the screen.

I have to say, I haven't kept up to date with the latest bells and whistles versions, but for years I've used, and am happy to entirely recommend iSilo.

It will read various text formats, but most conveniently comes with a converter for making your own custom ebooks - and helpfully, this can be fed a load of html files, so I often decompile ebooks distributed as chm files, and then convert them into isilo books that I can read on the road, which is excellent for massive reference works like Britanica etc. These are also highly compressed, and settings and last reading position is saved per book.

The version I'm using is probably old school, but as I said, it works perfectly and I've had no reason to upgrade. Helpfully on the Blackstone, it has user assignable buttons and screen regions, so eg clicking the top 25% of the screen will page up, or the middle 25% will auto scroll etc. This makes it ideal for the Blackstone with no usable buttons.

I like mobipocket, I have used it for years, and even on my N95, but I find tapping the screen is very random, sometimes it works, sometimes it highlights some text, and sometimes I have to tap it several times to get it to change. If I use a styus, it's fine, if I use two hands, and ise my fingertip it's fine.

iSilo looks like it may do the trick though, although I didn't think it handled plain txt files?

Only problem I have with using the volume keys to change pages, is that they are not designed for repetitive use, I managed to break the switch on my N95 by using it for changing page.

I will have to investigate more I think, I just wish there was one as nice as the iPhone reader I had.

(I just wish to point I used it on an iPod touch, not an iPhone, because I hate them lol)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] vijay555:
iSilo certainly supports plain text, a couple of other ebook styles, HTML I think, and it's own format.

I really like using it - it also has autoscroll if your hands are otherwise "occupied"!

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] AlanJC:
Well I won't be reading *those* kinds of books ;)

OK I have had a more in depth play with isilo, and it does the job in a buggy kind of way.

Takes a bit of messing around, and looks as though once you go into full screen you cant get out without making it look a bit messed up, so you have to restart the app, but it's certainly better for page turning than mobipocket!

Doesn't have the bells and whistles of others, but it's a free reader, and it does the job effectively.

Cheers V
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] vijay555:
Regarding the bug coming from fullscreen, I noticed that but thought it was just my old version.

The way to get around this, is instead of pressing the "ok" (back arrow) button to get out of fullscreen, press hang up instead. This will revert it to a normal size window, without the bug.

I have a ton of .lit so although i like Mobipocket it isnt of use. So I use TinyReader it's ok i suppose it definitely beats MS Lit reader. I wish someone would make a good reader for .lit files.
[G1 Android Development] tchort:
Not sure if anyone has had this problem but I'm seeing some really odd issues, sometimes the screen starts moving really quick almost like flickering but from left to right as if I'm holding finger on the screen and moving it extremely fast. Sometimes it seems like touch screen doesn't work until I hit power and menu right after, also randomly core apps would crash.

I'm on jf1.42 rc33.
[G1 Android Development] jonnybueno:
are you using any themes? I've encountered similar problems, but only after flashing multiple themes without wiping. i've never had any problems after a fresh wipe and reflash of JF 1.1*.
[G1 Android Development] tubaking182:
i'm having similar problems but wasn't sure if something i did screwed it up, i was getting random core apps crashing on 1.41 RC33 and to test a script i wrote and an app made by another i completely wiped every thing to where the phone wouldn't start at all, i achieved this with adb shell wipe all

i wouldn't suggest doing that unless you have an update.zip waiting to be flashed to your phone, i put the phone back to warrenty standards and then started EVERYTHING all over so i could test the things i wanted to. when i finished testing i rooted and put 1.42 on and it seemed a little better all day until it popped up and phone process, settings, and core all three crashed at the same time about 30 minutes ago. my flash was 100% clean as there was nothing on the phone at all including OS, i completely wiped the system partition and data and refused to flash my nandroid back up since i didn't want the same problems. i hope someone else knows what's going on and we can fix this
[G1 Android Development] JackD3ath:
I went from stock rc 30, rooted, JF RC 30, Themes (many), RC 33,JF ADP 1.1, then back to RC 33.

I had an issue of contacts not syncing, and the import contacts from sim caused a core force close.

So i did a freash install of JF 1.43 RC33 and it worked again. No screen problems but I did have a few core apps force closing. It hasnt happened since my last install of RC 33. Im running a modified theme now, my own with very little changes.
[G1 Android Development] tchort:
No themes, if I do a wipe, what happens with paid apps that I have installed does anyone know?
[G1 Android Development] tchort:
Looks like it was the related to multi touch, after doing another wipe and installing a build with out multi touch the problem went away no more rapid screen movement and apps are not crashing

Can anybody recommend a good car radio with builtin A2DP, which can use my phones (Xperia X1) contacts directly (like the BMW X-Drive radio system in my fathers car) and is able to control my phone via AVRCP and maybe can show the current title playing?

Audio quality in general and especially in conjunction with A2DP streaming should be good..

Shouldn't cost more than 250 Euros..
[General Accessories] Cabanon:
The radio is one thing, the phone is another thing.

before flashing my P4000, my Pioneer DEH-P980BT was pure ****. it was relaly hard to connect the PDA with the HU.

once flashed, it worked 1st try. so you might to check with another HU to see if its hard to connect it before buying one !

sony xplod $125

Bought sony mex2500 a year ago, works fine. uptodate is mex2700 might be bt2700... Anyhow cheap, easy to install and works. Doesn't do title or other info on radio but can use remote control of radio to control music app on phone.
[General Accessories] Igoran:
I'm buyed a Pioneer FH-P80BT and it's work perfectly with my TouchPro. Autoconnect is working both for phone BT and A2DP. A2DP sound quality is good, navi programs with voice work good without any glitches.

Also this device greatly copying my phonebook from phone to him and it's work with russian chars! (my previous Pioneer DEH-P55BT also have this feature but it didn't work at all).
[General Accessories] gauner1986:
The DEH-P980BT doesn't seem to be available on the european market..

The bt2700 might be an option, because it's a lot cheaper than the other radios and it has good ratings..

The FH-P80BT is a double DIN radio and is too big for my car..

Anyway thanks for your suggestions! Still looking for the perfect solution.. :)
[General Accessories] trinode:
I'd like to add, are there any that can do AVRCP 1.3? (track title / artist info display too)?
[General Accessories] davewaave:
a2dp toggle

You may have to use a2dp toggle to make it easier to connect to play music.

The sony has worked without complaint. Good luck.
[General Accessories] gauner1986:
Just bought a Sony MEX BT-3600U for 140 Euros.. Seems, that this is the best option for a good price..
[General Accessories] davewaave:
Let us know how it goes. Depending on rom, you might need a2dptoggle.exe for simpler bluetooth connection for music. I usually, but always need to use it. Whoops looks like I said that already.
[General Accessories] gauner1986:
Ah.. It's f***ing great from what i can say until now ^^. Good sound.. You can't even differ the A2DP music quality from the normal input music quality. Radio signal reception is also quite good..

But a small problem appears, when i connect my phone to my radio and start my motor: The radio turns off for 3 seconds or so, and when it turns on again, only the phone profile is reconnected, not the A2DP profile.. This sucks.. I have to go into the bluetooth menu and select "Use this as bluetooth stereo headset" to get it to reconnect.

Maybe i give this A2DPtoggle a try, though i have no today screen, because of TouchFLO 3D..

Minor drawbacks are of course:

- the small one row LCD-display

- no phonebook

But i can live with that..
[General Accessories] davewaave:
You can get that hbutton program and map it to a hard button like the ie button so that it toggles bt and btaudio, worked for me. But yeah that is the only annoyance really. I like the remote too, haven't had to replace battery and it's been over a year.
[General Accessories] gauner1986:
Ok.. I'll try that, when i have time.. Do you have solution for controlling the radio via the steering wheel? I have no experience with that, but i heard that it is possible.. The remote is infrared, so it seems to be pretty useless, unless someone in the back row wants to control the radio. ^^
[General Accessories] davewaave:
Sorry, no clue.
[Touch HD General] Snuurtje:
Hey,

If this is the wrong spot for this question, im sorry, and id like to be pointed in the right direction.

I have installed Dutty's rom, since 1.7 now with 1.9 the new alarm system is great, but there is one thing i cant seem to get working. When i set an alarm sound like the rooster and i test the alarm, it only sounds once. Id like to get it repeated over and over again untill you press a button. I have looked into selecting a long .mp3 file, but i would have to put it in the windows folder and the alarm doesnt recognize .mp3 files. It only recognizes .wav files, but when you make a large .wav file it will be very big, and consuming a lot of internal memory.

Does anyone have a solution to this?

greetings.
[Touch HD General] Psyberd:
Check out G-Alarm. The new manila is better than before but G-alarm is still superior. No limit to alarms, you can have an mp3 playlist rather than just a single sound, has Snooze you can execute a program by alarm ect. go look :)

I am about to flash my new HTC Fuze to the NAFT Rom v4.4. I have a few questions and I wanted to make sure I do it exactly as it needs to be done. I did search the forums here but did not find any one document that detailed the entire process from start to finish - but based on what I have read, this is how I think it happens... I just need someone to confirm (or correct) me on this.

I have downloaded HARDSPL v7.

I have also downloaded the Standard NAFT v4.4.

Do I just run the HARDSPL first? The .exe is named RUUWrapper.exe.

After running that, do I simply go to the NAFT folder and run the RaphaelWrapper.exe?

I am going to take the SD card (and possibly the SIM card out too) during the flash, but do I have to copy the two folders (HARDSPL and NAFT) to a folder on the device itself and run them from there, or do I run them directly from my computer once the phone is plugged into the USB cord?

I have also downloaded the stock ROM that my unit currently has installed, just incase I need to remove the NAFT or send it back in for warranty work. It's named RUU_Raphael_Cingular_US_.exe. If I were to need to revert back for any reason, would I simply run that to have it remove the HARDSPL modification AND the NAFT ROM, or does that simply remove the NAFT ROM and leave the HARDSPL boot loader modification? Or do you know?

I think that once I know for sure the answer to these questions, I may go ahead and perform the flash here later tonight. I have heard so many wonderful things about the speed of the NAFT v4.4 ROM and I can't wait to see it for myself.

Thanks in advance for any help, suggestions, or other tips.

I have already backed up all my contacts, and I will also be backing up all contents of my device (photos, music, etc)... but I just wanted to be 100% certain on the steps for the upgrade.

Thanks!

Hello all,

I just was wondering, is there a way to maken the file explorer in WM6.1 dispay large icons in stead of a list with file details?

[General Topics] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
Install File Explorer Extension.Cab, reboot, open File explorer, tap the "Menu" softkey, go to "View Options" and then choose "Icon" on the list that appears. And I am of course assuming you have a touch screen device, but if you do not have a touch screen device, I don't think you should install it.

[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] theDante:
I haven't gotten into zip signing and all that yet. But I was wondering if it's possible or would even make sense to ala carte themes?

I saw a thread on fonts that sort of addressed this, but would it work of the clock and icons or other select things? Where instead of installing the whole theme, you could mix and match which ever you want?
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] crys|s:
I'm not sure what you mean but I'm guessing you wanna pull some icons from one theme and put it in another, yes that is possible and you MIGHT have to resign the zip and apk's.

You can just put the /system/apps or /framework folder by itself, with the updated apks in it, in an update zip and just flash it.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] JackD3ath:
No that isnt what he means, he wants to know if you can just flash a specific set, such as just the fonts or just the clock or just the notification bar. Right?

While it does seem possible through a couple unrelated threads, the more you brake up the flashes, the more "ugly" the strucure gets/ That is not the correcr word, but it would probably be safer and cleaner to build a theme. But, I believe it is possible. Someone with a better understanding of the entire process, such as Stericson, could address your question with a little more certainty.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] tubaking182:
i took this as you like a clock that is held in theme A and the fonts in theme B and the icons in theme C and you want to flash those three components, if that is not right then please tell me and try to explain a little better what you meant by this. if you wanted that you would have to either extract those such items from the themes they are apart of(with the devs' permission of course) and then put them all into one zip and resign it, which isn't that hard at all, especially easy if you have windows and you download the auto-signer app. or if you do not want to make the sip and sign it you would have to ask the theme dev to extract the files for you and sign them for you and give them to you.

personally as a theme dev i would probably tell you to figure it out if you wanted parts of my theme, and if in a few days you decided to ask again i would be willing to help you. i certainly wouldn't just take the file you wanted and zip and sign them. i like to help people learn, that would be spoon feeding and i am really against that
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] theDante:
My question is about the structure / theory of themes. Right now a theme consists of many things; a clock, icons, background, menu button….. and whatever a dev decides to put in that one update.zip is what you’re stuck with.

I’m wondering if you could have an update.zip that just does the clock without changing the other icons. And visa versa, and update.zip that just does the menu button without changing the clock…. And so on.

So as a theme creator can I create a bunch of clock update.zips.. or a series on menu buttons.. so themes become more like skins, where you can skin just the clock, or just skin the icons.

Can I install an update.zip for the clock. Then immediately after, install an update.zip for the menu button without messing up the install of the clock.

I’m not thinking of anyone’s themes in particular… and I’m not talking about a single update.zip that does the clock and icons.. I’m thinking of multiple update.zips that are either the clock or the icons or the font.. where it’s more ala carte.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] crys|s:
Yes, that is very much possible. You WILL have to resign everything you edit though.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Geo411m:
This can be done but certain apks contain multiple features (the Launcher.apk contains the clock and the programs drawer).
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] mannyb:
90% of all graphics, save for icons, are located in just three or four apk's, so you can't really mix and match all that much.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] daveid:
Unless you are willing to dive deep into the waters, and learn what images are for what aspect and where they reside. Then, you can mix/match/replace as you see fit. My phone has a few icons from Blue Star 5, most from Fade to Blue, most elements are from Fade to Blue, some status icons from Code Name Ninja, a custom status bar & tray handle, a custom designed clock, and some custom text on the lock screen.

But it definitely involves some time and work, figuring out which elements I want, where to put them (or get them from if not creating my own files), resigning each APK, repackaging into an update.zip (or multiple updates, as I do incremental changes often flashing only the modified file over) resigning that, and crossing your fingers that you did everything right. Of course nandroid nandroid nandroid!!!
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] mannyb:
Definitely. Though that is almost as much work as making your own theme from scratch :D
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] daveid:
Except for designing the icons, and all the painful work that Damnitpud put into the .9.pngs for FadetoBlue. It surely wasn't as easy at copy and paste to get it the way I wanted it. But, I gotta say, it is nice to have a theme that I know is unique and holds some really cool elements.

I took some of my friends complex line drawings, used one for the status bar, and three different ones for the launcher drawer. I also used a photo I had taken for the clock, while placing the minute/hour hands outside of the numbers - keeping the rest transparent so it would work on any background.

But, yeah, to the OP - anything is possible. But it can turn into you creating your own theme for the most part.

hey Guys I've just flashed my ROM with AP4 It works fine but the Microdrive(build in 16GB) has disappeared.I can't find it and can't format it.

please can anyone help

HTC Advantage AP4

spl3.5

radio 158
[Advantage X7510 General] NanoRuler:
Let me get this straight - you flashed AP4 to your x7510?

If so, you're lucky it didn't brick your x7510 as AP4 is meant for x7501 and x7500.

The reason why you're not seeing a microdrive is because the x7510 doesn't have a microdrive, but instead it has a flash drive. Obviously AP4 doesn't carry drivers for the flash drive and in the absence of a physical microdrive you're stuck with no additional storage.

My suggestion would be to flash a different ROM to your device - one specifically cooked for the x7510.

Additionally, can you perhaps tell us how you managed to flash AP4 without errors? And aside from the microdrive/flash drive issue, is everything else working?
