Is there any way to implement the Library from the Classic Nook 1st edition on the NST. On the classic i was able to list like 20 books per page but on the NST is like 6.
Yes, I've always found the stock Touch Library.apk annoying with its wasteful listing.
I use my own "lean and mean" Library app with 15 books per page.
I have no idea the compatibility with the Nook Classic.
I would guess that it's not very good.

But why would you want to read anything in life besides the Nook guides?
They represent the pinnacle of Western literature.
Um, you mean that you haven't deleted those off your Nook yet?
I found the MediaScanner lacking on a few aspects so I do the searching for books myself.
There's a set of directories it checks, your stuff must not be in any of them.
I'm going to have to take another look at the MediaScanner.

I had extracted the apk and took a look around it looked like my path was included, i have my book in SD CARD/My Files/Books
Hmm. I don't know.
Try Library-1.1.apk in my signature.
Renate, just want to say thanks for the Library app of yours. What a great replacement for the default library app. Cheers!
I'm glad that you like it. It is minimalistic.
Long press on a book item brings up the detail screen.

Suit my preference as well. There's a couple of minor adjustments to the GUI that I'd like to make though. Have you any plan to release the code so we can contribute?
thanks the 1.1 worked.... just one issue.. the sorting by Author sorts by First Name instead of Last Name
if you know how to change to sort by last name, its prob something i can fix if i knew which file to edit, i got the apk unpacked just not sure if i need to edit a smali.
Excuse me, does it use any build-in app? As I did freeze some of them, I guess that is the reason for not working on my nook.

any help would be appreciated in making the author sort go by Last Name instead of using First Name
Yes, sorting correctly by last name would be good.
I wasn't sure how many books actually had opf:file-as
Code:
<dc:creator opf:file-as="Collins, Wilkie">Wilkie Collins</dc:creator>
We can give it a go. It will be a bit screwy for books that don't have it.

so in order to do this, each epub's content.opf needs to be edited or is there some change that can be done to the library.apk
Most decent EPUBs seem to have the file-as already in them.
Try the new version in the signature, Library-1.2.apk
EPUBs without a file-as will be intermixed.
If Jane Doe's book is the only one without file-as:
Henry James
Jane Doe
Soren Kierkegaard

Personally, I'd like to see it in full screen mode, drop the scrollbar and use page numbering instead (like the original library), drop the refresh & sort order bar and replace it with something a bit more elegant (minimal icons?).
Basically something that goes more nicely with my setup (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30296628&postcount=9)
Having said all that, I'm no longer a coder by trade but can find spare time to poke around if need be. What do you think?
the 1.2 is a lot better... author sorting worked for like 90-95% of the books i have
just an aside, page numbering would be a good idea as mentioned above
Thank you so much
I have been looking for a library app that could show and sort by series for a couple days now. This is great my only request would be that I could list the series like folders and then browse series but that would probably be a whole lot more coding. Thanks for this great app though.

Hi I have been trying to decide if I should by this myself by reading reviews and such but, I plan on rooting the device and installing different launchers and apps and I realize this completely changes the nature of the beast. If you could answer a few questions for me it would be greatly appreciated.
1. How fast/laggy is it. If I install launcherpro will it still work well.
2. How difficult is it to get movies encoded for it and how do they look.
3. Has anyone tried installing news apps for android (NY Times, BBC,CNN ext.) Also is netlix possible?
Thank you
1. I tried Launcher Pro, ADW, and Zeal and there is no lag in any of them. I did settle on Zeal for now.
2. I have about 10 movies that I had encoded originally for my evo and they all play great! Just the simple settings in handbrake will work fine.
3. I have USA Today on there now as well as the engadget program and both work great. Haven't tried netflix, don't have a account.

Thanks m8 thats actually a lot of helps a lot. IDK if netflix will work because of all the copyright and DRM but everything else sounds like good news to me. Now if only some could figure out how to get this thing to accept Adhoc networks from my cell phone that eould be great. If anybody else has something to add fell free to go right on ahead.
I actually tried Zeal and didnt like it. I had to put a bunch of icons down in the doc bar to get the doc launcher (the button with all the dots) in the middle where I like it....unless I missed something and dont know how to do it.
I have a huge library of HD (720p BD rips) and SD (DVD rips) movies and TV shows in AVI and MKV containers, will I be able to stream these video files within my home network? (without transcoding)
I'm glad there was already a post for this because I didn't want to create a new thread for it. I was one of the elocity a7 preorders who just had their orders cancelled. (all of us did, elocity insists it's a system error-I call BS) Anyhow i'm trying to decide between the nook color and the gtablet. I really wanted a tegra, but I really wanted a 7 inch device. I know they're not really the same thing, and maybe shouldn't be compared- but can anyone offer some insight as to which they personally prefer? Thanks.
OMG don't get the viewsonic G Tab... I had it for 1 day and had to take it back. Absolutely the worst screen I have ever seen on a device. The worst viewing angles. The nook color is wayyyyy better in my honest opinion and is really fast enough.

Ok, cool. Thanks alot. I really wanted a tegra...but the NC is the form factor I wanted, and I read nothing but great things about the screen. Just wanted to hear from other geeks whether or not i'm going to end up making a huge performance sacrifice or not.
I had a gtablet too and it really was the worst, even rooted and running a special tegra kernel. The nook is amazing and nearly the perfect tablet for me.
If you are asking yourself this question and seriously considering getting a nookColor, keep in mind that B&N has a deal that ends Sunday if you buy $100 in gift certificates you will get $10 back in gift cards (that are activated the day after christmas). I took advantage of this and bought $300 and got $30 in gift cards back which I'm going to use toward accessories (easel case I'm [email protected]). You may want to double check with your store but the manager at the store I went to allowed me to do this (after reading through the 'terms and conditions' on the website he said there was nothing that said it couldn't be done)
http://www.barnesandnoble.com/gift-card/index.asp?cds2Pid=32280
http://www.barnesandnoble.com/help/help_cds2.asp?PID=32063&popupclose=0
The terms say the gift card has to be bought on b&n.com, but the manager said the promotion was running in-store too so it didn't matter.
So the nookcolor, rooted, is a pretty decent slate/tablet?
I want the nookcolor mainly as a tablet: surfing the web, reading reddit, loading .pdf's of books/medical journals/textbooks to read and study from.
I was originally waiting for the archos 101 for $300.....but it seems like it's never going to come out.
The other thing is, since the nookcolor's screen is made for reading, will there be less eye-strain than with other tablets ( ipad,gtablet,archos 101?)

I was wondering this exact same thing, how does this fare as a cheap tablet?
I've done plenty of tweaking and modding with my nexus one so I'm no noob there - is this the deal of the century for someone like me? From what I've seen with a new launcher this thing turns into a serious galaxy tab competitor.
If anyone has any negatives they'd like to list please let me know - I'll probably be buying one of these in a few days.
We are two peas in a pod my friend.
The archos is only $50 more with HDMI,usb ,and a stand. But isn't available yet.
But if the NC screen is better for long-term reading....... who knows.
aaahhh.
Hi everyone, I am seriously considering buying a Nook Color as I really like it's design (something important for me), and want a Tablet device. And at 250$ it sounds like a really good deal. (The Archos 101 here in Greece costs 330 euro -> 440$, so the Nook is considerably cheaper)
My main usage will be: Reading pdfs and watching some .ppt files (I am a senior electrical & computer engineer student and want the Nook for studying), some Web Browsing, and if it is able for some MSN messaging..
Also, I wanted to ask you if it is capable of doing something:
Let's say you are reading a .pdf on your Nook. Is it possible to "handwrite" anything on the .pdf, like you are writing on a piece of paper, and save the file? That would be extremely helpful when studying.
Is there any application that does this?
Thank you very much for your time and help.

While the NC supplier (B&N and it's mfg'er) have a limited track record, the record of Archos is pretty clear ... roll out products that target the 'latest trend' with software that is usually not ready and move on to the next latest thing within a very short time leaving a trail of unsupported devices. If you can live with buying a new thing from Archos every 9-12 mos and knowing support will be GONE after that then go for it.
As said the Nook may not turn out better, but it can't be worse. It has an up-to-date system now, larger memory, better viewing for it's primary mission. (A70 just getting 2.2 and who know what bugs with it; A101 still not available, what does THAT tell you?)
If you want an android multimedia device then the Archos family may be a way to go, but evaluate it against multimedia devices since that is Archos' focus (assuming they have one), not reading and/or tablet functions.
Probably most people on this thread have reading as a primary, tablet second and entertainment third. The screen is really great, pdf reading is real good other than the swipe down instead of swipe sideways, with the Dolphin browser, root, su, multitouch what's not to like? ... did I mention the screen is great?

Don't know of any android apps that allow document editing, however if I wanted to annotate a pdf doc, I would put it in my Calibre library, convert it to ePub, load it on the NookColor and annotate away ... .. Calibre is a free program and VERY useful for ereading.
As for foreign sales, don't know a thing ...

The Nook is open source so you can download any Epub book and read it on the nook. These can be from google books, nook app, moobi, etc. Also in the off chance thats not enough you can edit kindle books to read on the nook... Either or you got tons of options beyond just B&N store books
BE WARNED THOUGH...
you loose features loading a non B&N book, these include...
Cant be put on the home screen.
Is a hassle to get cover art (if possible, I couldnt get it to sync, but I also didnt try hard)
You cant share. with other people
You cant use the twitter/facebook fuctions
All other features should work if its an Epub
Awesome! Im going back to college and would like a tablet for my text books instead of carrying around heavy books. This sounds perfect. Thanks.

The Nook doesn't seem to handle large PDF files well if that is what your schoolbooks are. I conveted most of mine to epub using Calibre last semester to put them on my ipod touch, but it is something to be aware of.

How well does converting PDFs with pictures or a lot of symbols (science texts) to epub work? I would imagine that a lot of science textbooks would convert pretty poorly to epub because the pictures would get messed up?
Also, the non-OCR'd scans -- do they just convert as full page images in epub?

What about his statement was not true? You CAN put kindle on it once your rooted(I know I have done it)
Most of the time you don't even have to root, the default B&N reader uses Adobe DRM epub/pdf and most unsecured formats.... But imo 7" screens sucks for textbooks, most of them just aren't laid out for it.

In Theory yes it could be done.....
In Reality, with out the Source code, not alot can be done to get this ported over.
I just wont to try. I need to say my Palm Pixy Plus is one of my favorite phones but it seems it wont be updated any further, and HPalm announced today this TPad only problem for me is 9,7".
7" is my favorite form factor for tablets but Android 2.1 feels limited. 3.0 is not there yet.
Its the best time to play around with my Nook but as I'm saying havent had much luck yet, well I have a cool name WebNook.
Do not bother
WebOS is a copywrited OS. It would be illegal, immoral, and very near impossible to do. HP bought it for over a billion dollars, so they will protect it. Android is "good enough" for the NOOK.

Yeah 2.1 is rather limited, but keep in mind that soon CM7 will be out for the nook with I think 2.2 or 2.3 and it will be much better, and as far as 3.0 goes we don't even have the official release or source yet, the build people are playing with is the SDK Preview release, which is far from fully Honeycomb.
So there is still plenty of Growing room in the nook.
There was a group of people in the CDMA hero forum that attempted to port WebOS to the Hero. I think they got it working but stopped due to copyright. I searched for the thread using both the XDA search and google. It looks like XDA removed it.
I'm not trying to justify myself from trying (still unsuccessfully, and I dont want to make any money from it) to port WebOS to my Nook but what I remember Windows Phone is copywrited OS too and this whole Portal is build around people who are making new roms, and porting new aps to devices. Plus theres nothing better to learn on than something that you shouldn't.

I really like the B&N Library Software and the Ability to Purchase Books on the device, Granted the B&N Launcher is junk, But I like the Library App, Maybe we can rip it off and still use it?
I did just try Aldiko, which is very nice, But I like the Easy of Syncing my library with the B&N Library that comes with the Nook Color, Its also far Superior to the nook app of the Market which is laughable.

I recently tried Aldiko also, and quite like it. It seems pretty superior to barnes and noble reader. The only downside, as you said, is losing the simple sync with B&N. I'm sure people would come up with a simple enough work around though. I personally don't buy books from them, so it's not too much of a concern for me. perhaps they could be synced with the nook app in the market and then once downloaded could be added to the Aldiko library?
just thought I would post for anyone interested in a possible port, 2.1 SDK was just released

The Windows Phone Roms are for phones that are licensed to run said OS. You won't find a WP7 ROM for the NC for example, because it's not licensed to run it. You could probably get your mitts on the SDK, hack around and get WebOS kind of, sort of running on the NC, but there is no way you could make any argument that it was legal.
I used to have a Palm Pre Plus, and besides the factory defects of 3 units, I wasn't really impressed with the OS either.
For me nothing beats my Nexus One. So having my Nook run CM7 is way more enjoyable.

Looks like we not have a real use for the stock Nook Reader app much longer.
According to this the new tablet app can be used to read magazines.
http://gizmodo.com/5801689/nook-for-android-updated-for-tablets
I haven't had a chance to check this out yet on CM7 as I'm at work and my NC is at home. Anyone try it yet? Does it even see the NC running CM7 as a tablet and give us the right version?
Ive been using it since last night and it is freaking awesome. Do yourself a favor and dl ASAP.
I downloaded it and so far it's a little clunky. At first it didn't see any of my books, but then they showed up. Then I ordered the free trial of Maxim, but I don't see the magazine anywhere. Maybe it just takes a little getting used to but so far it's bugging me.
I couldn't find anything in the press release on gizmodo (but I scanned pretty quickly)... will it play read-to-me children's books?
My Analog subscription magazine now shows up on my C7 Nook App! Woohoo.
Time to re-subscribe!

Sweet.
Does it have the word lookup feature? Having a dictionary at my fingertips was awesome with the stock reader.
Is there a way to side load ebooks to the nook app?
For me the Nook Reader is very sluggish in the menus & I can only se my B&N downloaded books & mags. Nothing shows in My files & I have sideloaded several books. Quite a few FC, so I don't know what to think. I like the page turn animation a lot. Great feedback that the page was turned. MAybe I need to try to reinstall??
kev
book title and page number at top of page annoying, anyone know how can to get back to 2.5?

Can't find the app in market. Is there something I have to do/tweak first?
Using CM7.02 on NC...
Update: Market Enabler did the trick. Had to "be" in the US. Can't buy anything though, seems you have to have an US-creditcard as well. Workaround for this?
Sorry if starting a new thread isn't exactly appropriate. I wasn't certain what to search for, but I was wondering if there was a graphing calculator app that could run on our Nooks, similar to the stock calculator on CM11. That would be convenient for my Algebra work. Thanks!

I'll look around a bit more, but I haven't had any luck on this before. I've been looking for an app ike this since I started Algebra 1 last year.
Algebra 2 is great, isn't it?

If only WabbitEmu worked on 2.1. That would be almost perfect.
As for Algebra 2, it's an okay class when you have a good teacher... In my class, about ten people almost failed until they decided a D to a 0.5. And now this quarter that's not happening and alongside passing, we have to also make a 2.0 GPA to stay in the school (since it's a magnet school). Also, it's kinda funny how we keep running into each other today, wouldn't you agree?

Well, I'm homeschooled, so Algebra 2 is taught by my mom/a computer program, and it's super fun and easy for me.
Definitely funny - especially considering we're around the same age.
Ive actually had a bit of luck with Andie Graph(just had to get the roms through other means online) and it runs pretty nicely on the eink screen

Great, I'll give it a go!
Just because I'm lazy, would you post the .apk? You can find it in /data/app.

I would, if I still had it installed Its from the google play store, it shouldnt be that bad to download it there
Wow! That app is better than sliced bread
Back in the day I used to run the Virtual TI on my laptop to show students what I was talking about and to run various lab instruments for demo purposes. I don't imagine I could do that with this app but I bet it would run an isotope half-life simulation I wrote for the calculator. Gotta try and dig that up just for fun.
Thanks for mentioning the app!

True, but not true - I don't have Play installed and don't want to go through all the trouble of downloading multiple wrong-version .apks from the Internet. That's why it'd be great if you could post the .apk.

I don't have my Nook in front of me now, so I can't tell you version compatibility, but I got it on my phone. I have posted the *.apk here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ro0q5bwua4xyxkr/net.supware.tipro-1.apk?dl=0
For legal reasons, I can't include the ROM image of course, but you can find it elsewhere. It is suggested to pull it straight from a real calculator, but mine's an NSpire with an 84 keypad, which doesn't allow you to image the 84 ROM for some reason, and the images from TI's website don't work, so I'm at a loss with this app.

Okay, I'll try that link.
Kind of lost on the other stuff
So I got the chance to load Andie on my Nook (the version in my Dropbox works). Works like a charm! Attached are some pics. As far as obtaining a ROM goes, you can get WabbitEmu (on a newer device of course) and use that to compile a ROM (I think the 83 Plus is the newest that Andie supports). From there, extract it from /data/user/0/com.Revsoft.Wabbitemu/cache/ (the file should be named "calculator name.ROM) and copy it to the Nook's SD card (anywhere is fine as long as it's on the card).
