I don't know if you have tried GoodReader on iPhone, a PDF viewer with outstanding features like zooming & horizontally locking the document (virtual cropping) & great stuff like this!

I have tried to find something similar for Android but I haven't found even a decent PDF Reader, let alone having special features!

Do you know any good apps?

About GoodReader for Android

Hi there,

Just want to add one of the key features of GoodReader is the ability to keep in sync specific folders from DropBox / SugarSync / Google Drive... Its not just for PDF, you can open any type of Docs, Photos and even Videos... I mean its great...

I recently migrated from my iPhone 4S to a Samsung Galaxy SIII, with the disappointing of the iPhone 5 and iOS 6 I finally decided to give Android a test drive and its really great all the liberty you have to do stuff in the phone... The only thing I missed in iPhone is the iPod and GoodReader....

We should create a Featured Request with some significant amount of people to ask GoodReader developers to make this app for Android. I already tried with no luck, the answer was plain and simple: "We will note be developing GoodReader for Android cause its especifically designed for iOS"... An Apple Blind Fan?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gab1to:
The thing is that iOS doesn't have file managers like in android. That's why GoodReader is so good on iOS because is able to behave like a file manager under the limitations of iOS.

In Android we have a lot of file managers that do exactly what you want like sync to another services. You only have to search for file managers. I recommend Solid Explorer Beta 2 which I think is the best file manager at the moment.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disclaimernotice:
Sorry for reviving an old thread, but is there really still no android app that can match Goodreader in terms of speed, smoothness and the ability to handle extremely large PDF files?

I've tried all the ones recommended here on my galaxy s3 and nexus 10, but they're nothing compared to Goodreader on my iPad 2.

very sad... just gave up my ipad for a nexus 7.. before swapping I asked in different places for apps that behaved like GoodReader... lots of recommendations, not that I finally changed I noticed it was all bull.... there is absolutely NOTHING that handles documents like GoodReader on android... NOT EVEN CLOSE....

i hated it myself till i read somewhere that (only if you deactivate auto-brightness) you can increase/decrease the brightness by swiping left/right on your notification panel! it happens often by mistake when you pull it down ... thats your problem :D

in the new froyo rom's this is no longer the case so now i use auto-mode and wait will this "feature" is no more ;)

I'm looking for an app, that will give me the functionality to draw some graphs on top of each other for comparison purposes, where the graphs could come from a simple formula or point-by-point entry.

so in a nutshell, i want the ability to have a graph from a formula and at the same time, have another graph which comes from individual points, so i can see how far off the actual is from predicted ..

i hope someone understands what I'm saying ... i've found apps which let me graph formulas, or points, but never both and never on top of each other ...

I did read all of that before posting. Unfortunately I am looking for a full-fledged case, not a skin or coat I put on the phone. I want something that will protect the phone from a full drop which is not a gel or hard case.

[Vibrant Accessories] }{Alienz}{:
vuvsion I have been following the forum very closely. I know of these cases and was considering getting one for the LONGEST time. They DO look great. But if you drop it, your phone is ****ed. It doesn't cover the edges. I don't really care its backplate (i can replace that easy enough). The sides though, are not replacable.

The mesh case covers the back but not the edges. It's pretty but not drop-proof. Do you know of anything LIKE it that covers more of the phone. Cause that would be perfect.
[Vibrant Accessories] DKYang:
Perhaps one of the case-mate cases would have that same feeling, but since it's still in design stage, it'll take awhile for them to release anything.

[Touch HD Android Development] CyberVillain:
I've tried

Link: Froyredux-Port Latest Release 02-08-2010 (Base: RC2 Nightly NEW BUILD * NEW INSTALLER)

and

Go to first new post

Android 2.2 (FroYo) On HTC [30 July 2010] (V1.2)

None worked that great, could use the phone in the 02-08 release, but it crashed after the person on the other end picked up the phone, and on the other one it didnt even find a network (Tried both 3g and 2g).

Which version is the most stable? I do not need 2.2 of Android, a 1.6 version is OK if its stable.

Thanks in advance, Anders
[Touch HD Android Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
Go for the Android 2.1 release, not the 2.2 (which states fairly clearly is a step backwards in order to eventually progress). The 2.2 releases are quite new and relatively unstable, and only suitable for geeks who like to scream, lose data and have nothing better to do than confirm the obvious (that it's unstable).

If you really want to be running XDAndroid for anything serious, then you're insane. It's suitable to play with, and reasonable satisfactory if it's plugged into a power supply. For business use? forget it.

[Streak 5 General] rovex:
As many know the Gorilla glass is far from scratch proof. I myself has a 3mm long scratch on my screen which really ruined the phone for me.

Using Cerium Oxide paste and a Dremel that was locked (so it didnt rotate) and a polishing wheel i have successfully removed the scratch by rubbing the paste over the scratch in circular movements. It took ages because i didnt press too hard, but the result is no more scratch!

Its worth a try if you have an annoying scratch. Cerium Oxide can be bough on eBay quite cheaply.

The scratch itself is mostly still there, but the Cerium has polished the edges so smooth that it is optically transparent now, so i cant see it with the screen on. Before it was clearly visible as a rainbow effect.

[Captivate General] alphadog00:
When in the browser, you can use the quick search key in 2 ways:

1. Tap it once and it becomes a URL search - doing autocomplete via google for the uRL you want

2. Tap it a second time and it becomes the Quick Search Box that searches your local stuff and google

The only odd behavior is going from the URL search to the Quick Search the keyboard stays on the URL keyboard so you have to hit the 123 key to get your space bar.

HTH
[Captivate General] jsmith8858:
.... and, if you HOLD the search button, you can do voice recognition for searching and some other functions -- i.e., "call jane doe" or "email john smith", things like that. Quite cool! Not sure of all the possibilities there yet.
[Captivate General] dc41:
That doesn't work for me. Do I need to install something to enable it to accept commands? Like Voice Commander? In fact, the only thing the search button will search is the web.... whether I type it or speak it. I've enabled the search phone settings in settings/search menu. Something's screwy with my phone.
[Captivate General] jsmith8858:
When you hold the search button down, the little "Speak Now" pop-up doesn't even appear? Or, is it there but nothing seems to work?

UPDATE: Also, it seems that only "call ..." works, I can't get "email" or "text" to work -- but then again, since you really need the keyboard for those functions, maybe that's why?
[Captivate General] dc41:
It pops up, but the only search results are from the web. It doesn't look for anything on my phone, and it never accepts commands like "call Bob."
[Captivate General] aloant:
I could not get "call (name)" to work. I tried adding the name to my Gmail contacts, but it still doesn't work. Like dc41, it dumps me to Google's web search. Any tips for this?

I also found out that you can say "dial (1-800-xxx-xxxx)" in Android, but I couldn't get that to work either.

"navigate to (place)" and "map of (place)" works for me though.
[Captivate General] aloant:
CALL (NAME)

Okay, I think I understand now...

For "call (name)" to work, you'll need to login to your Gmail account via your computer's browser, click Contacts, then Add.

If it's already in "All Contacts," but not "My Contacts," you'll need to use the "Move To My Contacts" button. I think this was my problem - anything I added in Android's phonebook didn't get moved into My Contacts in Gmail.com.

Some things are not shown in Android's browser when viewing Gmail, so do use your computer.

That's basically it.

I am not sure why, but suddenly everyone is calling everything 'rooting' when talking about the evo... this makes things very confusing in guides, etc.

Installing an engineering SPL is not the same as rooting! (but does require root level access in the OS)

The boot loading of android devices (esp HTC devices) generally goes:

SPL (secondary program loader) (can be stock or engineering build)

White skateboarding androids.

Recovery (RA Mon, stock, clockworkmod, etc)

Green/Orange on Black menu which allows flashing images and wiping data.

Android (can be rooted) (cyanogenmod, stock, etc)

The running android operating system

Not trying to make troll bait... just got sick of very confusing guides telling me to 'root' the SPL :)
[EVO 4G General] gmanvbva:
Who (exactly) is everyone?

I've been reading $h!t everyday for 2-3 weeks now and haven't seen this issue (or at least been confused by anything relating to it)... At least not from any thread/guide that really matters.

I understand you think this applies to Dev's (and hence posted in the Dev section)... but I'm not seeing it.
[EVO 4G General] kallisti5:
ok, maybe *everyone* wasn't a fair justification. still though.. not a single one of the posts I see in the dev section use the SPL identifier.

Keep in mind I definitely appreciate the hard work of guide writers.. I just think that the terminology should stay consistent to what has been outlined by android/google/the G1/etc

Eli Criffield
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -shift-:
no... and cyanogen has explicitly stated that the new update won't contribute anything to cm6. cm6's 4g will most likely use clear's open wimax implementation. hdmi is also in the works, way before htc released their 2.2 update. i'd say, be patient. the final cm6 build will be epic, to say the least. the current nightly builds are on par with all of the current build (except for 4g and hdmi) in terms of smoothness and speed.

just my 2 cents.
