Site with direct .apk downloads that work

There is a bunch of freeware .apk's that you can download directly from this site:

vvvvvv.freewarelovers.com/android (I can't post links yet two v's = one w)

Including gesture search from google which I installed and it works great on the NC.

Here is the link: vvvvvv.freewarelovers.com/android/app/gesture-search

Gesture Search 1.2.1 seem to be the latest available version. Below you can find file(s) assigned to this version:

Gesture_Search_1.2.1.apk (807 KB, ↓ 445)

As far as the files from the Galaxy S: I haven't had much luck but I only tried a few. My main concern is trying to find a working calendar app that will sync with my google calendars and a working gmail app. I got the calendar app installed and have the same icon I have on my phone but when I tap the icon nothing happens. For now I'm using K-9 email and it seems to get the job done but I'm still searching for a fix for the google apps.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] desiks:
hey jm20,

how does this gesture app works? is it using strokes or something like that?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] jm20:
gesture app

It basically indexes your files then you use your finger to write a letter on the screen corresponding to the file name you are looking for and the program starts to filter the results, it works rather well and is pretty quick. If you have a bunch of unorganized files on your nook it could really save you time. If you are very organized and know exactly which file is in which folder the app won't really be of any great use to you. Hope that helps.

I have been using dolphin HD 4.0 browser which also uses gestures for navigation and it works great. Seems to be more accurate than the stock browser, as far as screen tapping on links go (probably just my imagination though) and it has built in pinch to zoom.

jm20, thanks for explaining , it is quite clear now

does anyone know of a good comic viewing app that works well on the rooted NC? ive tried a few that i have on my droidx: droid comic viewer, jjcomics, etc but they dont work very well with the nc. any suggested apps that people are using to view comic file formats? cbz, cbr, cb7?
[Nook Color General] modembug:
If you install Softkeys 1.06 ACV (Android Comic Viewer) works very well.. Im currently getting my WD fix using ACV :)
[Nook Color General] godsfilth:
i havnt had a chance to try it yet but with my og nook i used software called calibre to convert cbz/r of manga to epub files that worked fine you might want to try that and then read with the default reader though i dont know how well it will handle scaling
[Nook Color General] juicelee53:
thats actually the reason reason ive been wanting to lol. never been into comics but a few pages of WD and i was hooked!
[Nook Color General] gvanvran:
I'm using ACV and it works. The menu and back buttons don't appear, but I assigned menu to long press and settings to upper left.

In landscape mode, it doesn't scale to the edges. Only the center portion of the screen is used. Hopefully that's something that will be addressed.

What's WD?
[Nook Color General] zdrifter:
Am using 'Daily Strip' by FuseTree LLC .. works great on a root NC with many, many comic choices and an option for 'favorites' one can easily use. It's free but unobtrusively ad supported.
[Nook Color General] graymulligan:
install the soft keys setup, and ACV becomes an absolute dream to use.
[Nook Color General] modembug:
WD = The Walking Dead :D
[Nook Color General] modembug:
+1 to this! I have read several comics now and other than a bit of delay loading each page its fantastic :)
[Nook Color General] tags07:
I have tried jjcomics and Android Comic Viewer. JJcomics seem to work for me for jpg comics..
[Nook Color General] the_devastator:
I'm using comic reader mobi and it works great
[Nook Color General] jazzcat007:
Comic Reader Mobi is the best I've found...it zooms only the text when you click on a balloon
[Nook Color General] lovelacer:
Perfect Viewer works very well, as it doesn't seem to take as long to load the next page as compared to ACV. Looks like i'll try out Comic Reader Mobi too.
[Nook Color General] Pinesal:
Where do you guys get the comics for the app?
[Nook Color General] rckymtnrfc:
I just got these and will be enjoying them until the new season starts!
[Nook Color General] pezhore:
Google is helpful, there's a ton of free comics out there in CBR/CBZ format.

I've always used ACV for my WD fix. Any screens of comics in action nook?
[Nook Color General] Tom in AZ:
Not yet from me, I am still trying to get the file again. I can't seem to remember where I put it. If it is anything like some of the other apps I have installed I will be super happy!

If I can get the software installed soon I'll post screen shots.

[Nook Color General] califrag:
Well there isn't much to show.. they just look like normal comic panels (some free comics I found online)
[Nook Color General] iconoclastnet:
Until today I've always used ACV, but every once in awhile it comes across something it just won't handle without crashing.

After running across one such comic today, and having read all the raves here about comic reader mobi, I thought I'd look it up. Then I saw the asking price.

Once I stopped laughing I figured I might as well look into perfect viewer as one last alternative. I was pleasantly surprised. It's handled everything I've thrown at it so far, it has wonderfully configurable controls and it seems to handle page changes slightly faster than acv. It's not perfect, but I'd give it a thumbs up.
[Nook Color General] jazzcat007:
Anyone know how to make Comic Reader Mobi the default handler for CBZ/CBR so that it opens automatically when clicking on a file?
[Nook Color General] the_devastator:
i never figured it out, so in the actual program i just selected the folder with all the comics on my SD card, then click the button next to the left arrow and click open series and it shows you a list of the comics you have in that folder. it's a little rough but it works.
[Nook Color General] WillCameron:
Is there a version of Comic Reader Mobi that will fit a page left to right in landscape mode without the black bars on the left and right keeping the aspect ratio? so one could pan up and down the page? reading some of the french comics by Bilal and Moibeus is challenging to say the least.

- Will.
[Nook Color General] Thibor69:
Were do you install your comics on the nook for the Comic Reader Mobi to see them ?? I can't seem to browse to my comic folder. When it ask's me to pick a comic folder the <back> button on the settings screen stops working.

Any thoughts ????
[Nook Color General] WillCameron:
I just dump everything into a folder labeled _Comic Books_ on the SD Card. when i first ran mobi it let me pick the main directory. The only issue I have with Mobi (aside from the Landscape issue - which acv has as well..) is that sometimes I cant actually select a file. I think its getting stuck because it may be looking for joystick up or down move because there always seems to be one file with a light blue box around it. I kinda wish they would loose the 'change series' and 'change file' bits and merge them into a regular file type browser.

Maybe uninstall and reinstall it? I cant check which version I'm using but I think its the most recent. Will check when i get home in the AM from work.

- Will.
[Nook Color General] Thibor69:
Is there an English version of ACV ?? The only one I get from the Market is in Japanese ??
[Nook Color General] tommy793:
Anyway to make ACV read the internal memory instead of just the SD card?
[Nook Color General] imnotoct:
I've tried ACV, jjcomics and comics. They all studder just a bit but they all run them really well. I was able to view comics on the SD card and the internal memory along all of them.

If you guys haven't tried it. Pick up Comics. It's in the market. Has a little x on the icon. You can only view comics purchased through them but they do have some available for free. The way they handle the transition from screen to screen is pretty awesome.
[Nook Color General] Ptaaty:
Agree, perfect viewer works great. Supports full landscape, tapping right side moves down image in chunks - seems much faster than acv, plus supports the more difficult larger images that were FC on acv. Two thumbs up!
[Nook Color General] Jarek_s:
I've installed Perfect Viewer on my rooted NC (cm7 on sd-card) but can't access the menu! What button should I hit to get to the menu?

Please help!)

I didn't put the white over over the screen because I don't think you can see the backlight on the buttons once it's on.

Everything is else is good protecting against unwanted scratches on the body :)

[Captivate Accessories] tazman171:
Yeah, that's why it's a little crooked on the bottom middle of the touch buttons, I just used my utility knife, carefully, with the skin already applied to the phone. It messed with the light and sensitivity just enough to make it a 50-50 chance of pressing the correct button and my fingers are clubs, lol. So a trimming away I went.

2 months, good news to hear that as I like mine and does a surprisingly good job of protecting the phone. Plus I can use my phone in my car dock with out having to take a case off. :cool:

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinoth:
I'm sitting here with a revision 1006 Captivate (got it first day) and I'm curious if there is any information on possible fixes in newer hardware revisions. My GPS is one of the awful ones, and as time goes on I see this being a less and less discussed issue. While it may simply be because we're tired of beating a dead horse, the other possibility is that newer revisions have fixed something that was wrong in the first gens, so new members aren't complaining about it.

Any data for or against this? Can anyone chime in and confirm you have great or awful GPS on a newer revision phone? Maybe we should take a poll or something, but I'm not even sure what revisions exist at the moment. Any information is appreciated!

Also, is 1006 the correct thing to be talking about when mentioning "revision"? I also see "REV0.4" on the label under the batter, but not sure if that is relevant.
[Vibrant General] barch27:
My Vibrant has had a terrible GPS right from day one. Never locked in less than 10 minutes, and even then very flaky and often not locking at all. I tried a dozen different ROMs out there - including JI6, Bionix, etc. Up until Axura 2.0.5 things did not improve, or seemed to improve but really was the same.

Today I installed Axura 2.1 and to my surprise, GPS is fixed! Locks in around 10-20 secs and all 12 sats are seen, with 8 out of 12 locks. Must be some JK6 component included in the ROM, I don't know. Just wanted to throw this finding out there.
[Vibrant General] thetman0:
what app are you using to see how many sats are seen and locked?
[Vibrant General] barch27:
I use GPS Test. Directly gives 12 sats in view. Get 8 in use within 20 secs.

The first time I booted this ROM and went to Google on the browser, I was surprised to see it get the location within seconds. Usually the GPS icon just sits around trying to get a lock in vain.

[Vibrant General] Vegastouch:
I havent used the GPS yet, but i will tomorrow on my road trip. I didnt have a bad GPS problem before though as far as driving. Accuracy was off though when locating me at my house.

Didnt lock on real fast so hopefully it will now. I have Aura 2.1 as well.

Eugene and Master are a lot alike in that they've both decided that posting on XDA is too much trouble. Can't really say I blame 'em. :D

Link to Axura 2.1 - http://bit.ly/e4TSn6

The reason the GPS works is because Master has pulled the "Vold" (GPS part of the ROM) from JK6. The JK6 Modem is also present in this release. Thank Samsung for JK6 and thank Master for including parts of it in his newest Axura release. :D
[Vibrant General] murse:
One thing I can understand is the frustration that developers must feel over all the hand-holding they have to do when they release a ROM. I'm a complete noob, but I also get tired of seeing the same "OMG I bricked my fone OMG pleez help right away!" When it's always the same mistakes: flashing over lag fixes, flashing the wrong kernel, flashing some uber awesome theme that screws something up, not taking the time to read the threads. And EVERYTHING to fix a problem can be found in the stickies.
