For ebooks, I really like fbreader. kindle and nook have really big fonts that I can't seem to shrink enough. fbreader doesn't have a store, but it can access calibre if you have it set up for opds.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] PLinga:
Thanks for the suggestions, I'm looking into them. One format I forgot to mention is HTML. Is it better to convert that to a different format or search for a reader (or browser) for it?
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] darkstar2k77:
I use ezpdf for my ebook reading. My current favourate with auto crop feature.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] ayman07:
Ita difficult finding a good pdf reader. anyone tried good reader on the ipad? its a great pdf manager. Im going to email them to see if they are working on an android version. Adobe reader is good but slow. Others just feel cheap.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] mmace:
I work for a large newspaper company in the UK so I have access to hundreds of papers in PDF format, each day I grab my local one which is usually over 40 pages and around 120Mb in size.

The ONLY app which doesn't crash at the size of the PDF is the free office app that came with the Tab, pinch zoom or double tapping is quick & smooth and moving from one page to the next is seamless

the Adobe app never even opens the first page!
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] gnick666:
I use the built-in ebook reader, and could bend it to my will, also it supports epub :)

With a well setup calibre adding new books is easy as 1-2-3
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] le3ky:
Exactly, the ThinkFree office pdf reader is teh BEST pdf reader on android. It renders pages with no lag, ayman you can't have tried this if you think its not adequate, try it.

ezPDF

Have you tried ezPDF ? It works brilliantly on my Tab, it is great for reading technical documents in column mode (with double-tap gestures, pinch/stretch zoom, and horizontal scroll lock). The text-flow view is pretty handy too. It is fast, regularly updated...well worth the purchase :)
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] clovis_ll:
for ebook reading, i use aldiko. its on the market.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] e654777:
I use think free apps and Adobe pdf reader. Adobe pdf reader for android is free from the market.

[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] schmolch:
For PDFs, ezPDF has by far the best features.

It remembers the page, it remembers the zoom, and it even can auto-zoom into columns and jump to the next column. It also can lock the horizontal position.

Unfortunately it does not have the best rendering quality, text does not look as sharp as with adobe's reader.

Adobe's is fine with the best rendering quality but still lacks features. Not even remembering the page-number is fully implemented.

thinkoffice is just a basic fast pdf-viewer that can not even keep the zoom-level.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] lexxx84:
Bloody sick of Thinkfree Office - it doesn't remember the zoom level across the document! I need to double tap repeatedly for each page to make the document zoom to page width. Going to try EZ PDF and sees how it turns out.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] roy8846:
Ezpdf is the best android PDF reader period..
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] beestee:
Another vote for ezpdf. They recently added annotation tools launching this pdf viewer back to the top of the stack for me.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] lxxxxxr:
+1
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] darkwoof:
Ahh.. thanks for the tip, just tried out ThinkFree for PDF, never thought of it before. Works great with no lag! Was previously using Aldiko for PDFs and while they opened fine it was really laggy.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] TylerMF:
I personally went on this same hunt about 2 months ago. I tried about 5 or 6 different reader apps and I gotta say, Moon+ Reader Pro was BY FAR the best. It has more customization options than you could shake a stick at, has the "page turning" animation (very cool) and supports many different file types. My only beef is that it doesn't support PDF, BUT I'm okay with that cause I use a pc program called Calibre (converts from any format, to any format) to convert all my books and such anyway :) Hope this helps!

Side note: Just a friendly reminder that questions and whatnot should be posted in the Q&A section ;) I'm not a form nazi, but I do appreciate rules and order, lol.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] mughalgxt:
my vote for ezpdf, zoom to your desire and apply horizontal lock! Perfect reader except for some seldom freezes and FC.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] donetus:
Aldiko is a good ePub/PDF reader :D
[Epic 4G General] yonglee09:
i need some help. After rooting (1click root) everything worked just fine, removed those bloatware and feels awesome. But i think i removed the OTA.apk too.

Since then, i cant update the PRL and FIRMEWARE. It hangs for few minutes & times out, giving me force close.

SO my question is, is there a workaround for PRL & FIRMWARE update to work?

Or, can someone explain how to put back the OTA apk back to phone?

Sry, im still a noob

appreciate you all!
[Epic 4G General] bilestoad:
If you accidentally removed a file you can reinstall the stock ROM. For example you can look here.

If you follow those instructions you'll have a rooted froyo epic. Or you can look here for instructions for get your phone to what I think is one of the most recent Android 2.1 ROMs.

Good luck!
[Android Apps and Games] spookamiester:
I have tested team viewer and phone2PC with no luck.

I used to run RemoteTouch on my old Touch HD. Just got a Desire HD and miss the ability to be a thousand miles away from home, realising I haven't got the song I wanted to listen to and copy and pasting it to my SD card.

I've also had a look at RemoteVNC and Xtralogic but they log the computer out on connection.

Is there anything out there?

Here's a link to RemoteTouch, highly recommended for Winmo users

http://t2remotetouch.blogspot.com/
[Android Apps and Games] overground:
Think Remote Desktop by xtralogic allows save to sdcard. RemoteVNC Pro might do it too.
[Android Apps and Games] spookamiester:
Almost

Thanks for the reply, they look pretty cool. Only thing that is getting me is that they log the user out so to get any files I would have to interrupt the session. It's a bit of a pain if my girlfriend then needs the computer and I have to give out my password.

Sorry, I should have specified in the first post. Will edit now
[Android Apps and Games] JayStation3:
DropBox? Is that what you mean?
[Android Apps and Games] spookamiester:
No, that's specific and requires me pre-empting what I might forget.

Looking for a remote desktop app with the ability to transfer files that doesn't logout users. Have a look at T2 Remote touch, that app was awesome and exactly what I'm looking for
[Android Apps and Games] KreAch3R:
Have you tried logmein ignition? I can't test it right now, but it should do what you want.
[Android Apps and Games] sitlet:
phonemypc or logmein
[Android Apps and Games] spookamiester:
I have phonemyPC and can't find any file transfer features. Checked the feature list for logmein and can't see file transfer

https://secure.logmein.com/UK/products/ignition/android/features.aspx

I can't find any that do apart from the ones that log out of the computer.

I miss remote touch :(
[Android Apps and Games] 1234568:
One option is to use ES file explorer. It's the best explorer I have found and it supports local access, Bluetooth access, LAN access and finally ftp access. I have tested all these features except ftp. As I understand it though you could create a ftp server on your desktop to share your files over the web and use this app as a client. Another advantage of creating a ftp server is you can access your files through any internet browser.

I'm still struggling with creating the ftp server at the moment. It seems you need a bit of knowledge in web hosting and networking. If anyone can help I would be grateful.

I am using LAN feature atm. I just browse my PC files through the app and copy and paste anything to local SD card. Highly recommended.

Hope this helps.
[Android Apps and Games] Mycorrhiza:
MyPhonexplorer does the job well although at times it does not work at all for me. Try it. It slows transfer via by or wifi
[Android Apps and Games] KreAch3R:
You could also use LogMeIn or Teamviewer to browse through your files, and copy them to the dropbox folder. Then access them from the mobile. Pretty messy but it works. :)
[Android Apps and Games] Dbagjones:
Just a tip for easy FTP server setup: FileZilla FTP Server - runs great on WinXP-7 and is easy to setup/use. ES File Explorer works great for ftp access (in my experience).
[Android Apps and Games] spolfliet:
You should definitely check Browsix (a new app I just released). It has a file manager (+ media viewer) which you can access by pointing your computer browser to www .browsix. com.

The site redirects you to your phone, and that's where the fun starts...

Let me know if you like this app or not.

Thanks,

Stijn
[Android Apps and Games] Phateless:
Can you post a video in your thread? I'm very interested in this app but paranoid about clicking unfamiliar links, especially on my work computer. It's only because you only have one or two posts, no offense intended.

Guys, I added some more explanation about Browsix in the other thread. See http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9714021&postcount=6

Hopefully I can convince you that we are not spam. I took a lot of time to develop this android application :-)
[Android Apps and Games] Phateless:
I believe you now and I think it's an awesome concept! I was only nervous because you only had 1 post at the time. Now I'm looking forward to trying this out at home.

[Desire HD General] Rawdi:
Hi, i have got my DHD phone for over a week now and im loing it. its such a good phone. its much better than the iphone. but i wold like to know if it is a good thing or a bad thing if i should root my phone. what are the pros and cons? i have notice aswell that my phone is starting to lag. i have the usb debbug on but is still lags. can someone help me if i should root my phone. thanks
[Desire HD General] Andy:
Pro's

- Performance > Flash a new Kernel and overclock your DHD.

- Battery Life > Setting a much lower clock speed when your screen is off.

- New Features > Rooting your DHD allows you to flash custom ROM's.

- Ability to remove bloatware (Amazon MP3, etc...)

- Any more?

Con's

- OTA updates, I'm not sure but I think rooting your DHD will stop OTA updates from working. (Correct??)

- Any more?
[Desire HD General] Rawdi:
Do you know if we are expecting a new update soon for the dhd. I want to know if I should wait before I root my phone. I don't know if its the best for my phone. Have you rooted your phone? How are u finding it?

[Desire HD General] Andy:
There will be a 2.3 Android update in the coming weeks, however I'm not sure how long HTC will take to release this for the DHD.

I rooted my DHD to remove HTC Sense. I've flashed CM6.1.0-RC1 & Buzz OC/UV 1.51Ghz 1.0.7 and It's great.

I rarely call people anyway, send a few SMS's, surf the net for maybe an hour over WiFi or 3G/HSDPA and mostly listen to music using Winamp 2-3 hours a day I can get 2 days between charges.

I've overclocked to 1400mhz (performance) when the screen is on and underclocked to 300-400mhz (smartass) when the screen is off using SetCPU.

Obviously your use may vary.
[Desire HD General] paulus_01:
I would not be to concerned with OTA updates....

I think that once new updates are available, you'll have them sooner via a custom ROM then you'll get them OTA
[Desire HD General] dr.m0x:
This. So long as you are happy with AOSP you will have your update well before htc update sense to 2.3.

Tbh I would still love this phone if I never got another update again. It's just wonderful. Sometimes it's best to remember the definition of an update - to fix old bugs and add new ones.

Sent from my Desire HD by magic.
[Desire HD General] Rawdi:
so can i ask what is the best rom and settings i should use if i decide to root my phone. also are there roms with no issues on the phone like FC's? i have read about some roms audio dont work and GPS not linking and you tube not working too. Will i have to update my rom all the time. I had a g1 for 18 months and i had to change my rom all the time cause there were issues with it. sorry to sound dumb but it is such a nice phone but it does lag. i really didnt expect this as it has a fast processor.
[Desire HD General] paulus_01:
I am using LeeDrOid atm and have 0 problems with it....
[Desire HD General] ghostofcain:
If you wait the exploit we are using to root the phone will in all probability be closed, so you may be unable to root your phone, if you permaroot with visionary you can always unroot in future if you wanted to and you needn't proceed any further so the risk to your phone is mininal from going ahead :)

Just a quick question from someone who isn't that experienced with all of these things:

Could this program be used to remove bloatware? As in, the preinstalled carrier/regional apps?
