How do you install this one. I tried and it says there is no application to open the file.
Edit, never mind, I got it installed through ES explorer.

Ereader app from stock Tab

Im looking for the e reader app that was on the demo vid Samsung put out about a month back. Im not talking about the mag, newspaper, book one. there was also an app that only said "ebook" or something like that under the icon. It had a bookshelf and good looking animations when a book was opened (page turn etc. . .). I d/l Kobo but that does not look like the one Samsung was demoing, and kobo does not have any type of lage turn anamations. I have the US T Mobile version and it seems like it was removed for some reason. does anyone know what im talking about and does amyone have the apk for this?

Well, looking at it, it's certainly not Amazon Kindle or Aldiko. Possibly Kobo?

I d/l Laputa and it looks and acts almost the exact way the demo was showing..save for a few things..but that may be just Samsung customizing the app for its own use. Anyone here with the EU version that has this installed?
I'll have to look at the Nook reader and see how that one works..
The Laputa reader work very well and has very smooth page turning effects..so far I'm liking this one.
Here you go:
Maybe in exchange I could get my hands on the media hub from the US version. That, or maybe the demo versions of NOVA or Asphalt5 (not the market version) that came pre-installed on your device.

how do you install this? i unzipped it and its a ebook folder.
I think I know what your problem is: if I remember correctly, the .apk format is itself just a renamed .zip, so your unzipping tool is probably working a bit overzealously, and extracting both. Make sure you only unzip one level, and you'll be fine.
I found that the instructions in the last post here work.
androidtablets.net/forum/samsung-galaxy-tab/2279-no-signs-reader-hub-us-galaxy-tab.html
Download the files and do what he says.
Worked in my Tmo Galaxy Tab.
News and Kobo reader worked in ReadersHub and the magazines app worked in the Readin app.

Anyone figure out how to install this?

Anyone been able to get the Ebook app to run on a US tab?
Tried to install it on every possible way, them I installed the nook reader (eu user have to use market enabler and fake themself as american to download it) from the market.
Page turn animation and double page in landscape, and that is what I wanted from the samsung app. And it's even implemented better!

does this do video?
no workie
fresh evo:
can find oovoo on market.
can install.
can text chat/IM.
can voice chat.
can NOT video chat. (won't allow enable of front or rear camera.)
friends CM6 evo:
Vzw galaxy tab:
can NOT find on market.
(did not ask him to try installing posted apk.)
Vzw galaxy tab:
can NOT find on market.
can NOT install from apk.
I tried installing and it says it cannot be installed. Running cyanogenmod.
I have used oovoo desktop for years and it works great. I downloade the mobile version and I could get audio but no video when I logged into my account. The option to do a video call would not do anything.
Has anyone got this to work?
edit
read the fine print and it only works for audio now. Bummer.
I had the same issue with the .APK not installing on my evo as well!! I'm also running the Desire HD rom which could be a reason or maybe just because perhaps the evo isn't supported yet which is odd because the guy from oovoo on twitter said it was a month ago to me
um, so NO video on the EVO ?

Skype, Hacked for Thunderbolt

I tried this out on my phone today, running the CM7 RC1, and it did not work. After entering my credentials for login, the app window minimized, then after several seconds came back up asking for the credentials again. I tried several times, making sure I was entering everything correctly. Oh well, no surprise here, nothing seems to work with this phone.

Is anyone else actually interested in this? I'd love to be able to actually use the front-facing camera, but I know absolutely no one that uses Qik. Everyone I know uses Skype or Google Talk, but neither of these are doing video calls on our phones. What gives?

Vtok, out of the box, does not work at all for me. It gets to the contacts screen and displays all of nothing. As I understand it, those apps all require some sort of package file renaming that I am quickly growing weary of.
I appreciate the info. I'm really looking for a solid phone-to-desktop video chat client that has NOTHING to do with Yahoo--I abandoned them some time ago, and none of my contacts use them, either.
It just feels like the Google and Skype devs don't care whatsoever about our devices. I understand that the Tegra chips are sort of new in the Android world, but it feels like they are just being ignored when it comes to apps that utilize the hardware.

Unless I'm missing something here, the GTalk part of Fring doesn't allow video calls. I am completely not interested in phone-to-phone video calls, as no one I know has a phone with a front-facing camera. I'm looking for phone-to-desktop solutions, and I don't see a desktop Fring client--not that I'd accept that option because Google and Skype are fully capable of video calls. If my contacts have to sign up and install some new service then this is still a failure.

Nope. They don't need file renaming. You just need one file to be put in the framework folder and that's it.
Fyi, more phones and tablets are coming out with tegra 2 chips so what you are saying about "ignore" is a myth.

So all four of these work with the front facing camera with the nexus s info?
If I remember correctly, there is a file you have to copy somewhere to put in the nexus s info - you have a copy of that file and know which folder it goes in?
Heck I'll give it a try!

Only oovoo needs nexus s info. The rest works without editing build.prop.
The file needed goes to framework folder.

Google Talk with Video (Thanks to Paul and BluechipJ)

Hey guys,
Previously I tried installing Google Talk w/ Video on J's CM7 to no avail. However, now that we have the official GB from SE we can now install it and I can confirm that it is working on our X10s. I know there is no front facing camera, but it's still a cool feature to have. This feature is supposed to be only for the 2.3.4 update but it can be yours if you have root. Much thanks to developer (Paul from MoDaco) for creating this installer and BluechipJ for making the youtube installation guide.
More information is in the description on the youtube video.
Shortlink to directly download the installer onto your phone (visit this in the browser, on your phone): http://jp1.ca/googlevideoinstall
Thanks Again Paul from MoDaco and BluechipJ!
NOTE: I've tried a few zips from the below thread for non wifi video function but it didn't work. If anyone is able to get it to work let me know.

I get FC when trying to call or start video-chat with someone.
I am on WiFi.
Weird, I wonder why that is. I installed it on both of my X10s. One running rooted stock and the other Wolf's version. Both of them work fine. I noticed that we have to allow video and voice chats once you sign into talk. You probably already did it but for those that haven't yet press your picture icon and then it will go to a update status area and you can click it there.

I like the new UI and I probably wouldn't have used voice or video ever,
but I hate it when something FCs and I don't know why!!!!
Anyway, thanks a lot, good find!

I flashed it via XRecovery. I did mount everything in XR before I flashed it. When you make a video call over 3G, the other side person need to wait for 5 or 10 sec and than click accept.
I think it's depend on the 3G speed sometimes line drops. But I didn't get any FC

I know this is pretty old, but I downloaded and installed the apk. It asked for root privelages and was given them. It removed my previous version of Talk, and that's all it did. It just sites there at the screen with the picture of the guy. I've restarted the phone and even tried it again, but nothing. Now I'm stuck with now google talk at all. I'm rooted on 2.3.3. Any help?
Nevermind. Evidently debugging mode needs to be turned on for it to install properly. Got it now. I wish this had an option just for voice and no video like the ICS version.
hay any help here
!!!
i installed this as in video
on my x10 fxp107
and after the restart the phone keep rebooting
even after wipe every thing and install the rom again
what's happened here ????
any solution ??? please

(REQ) Sprint VVM for 2.3.x

I've noticed that all the Sprint VVM apps floating around are outdated and I'm assuming that's the reason they don't seem to work any more. Does anyone have a confirmed working version? The .48 version that you have to extract the titanium back up folder doesn't work. I've tried manually backing up the old fresh 2.1 version and got no where. I even used decks gapps with VVM included. Anyone got anything new that works? Thanks in advance!

Here you go: Down load this attachment ; vtt_sprint_v51_0_60_production to your sd card and use Root Explorer to install it. If for what ever reason you can't download the attachment, then google ( x99_GB_Sense_Stock_Rooted_2.76.651.4) download it and use (Root Explorer) if you are using you phone. Go to SYSTEM/APP/ locate vtt_sprint_v51_0_60_production, copy it and paste to phones sd card . From there all you have to do is install it in what ever Rom you are using i.e. CM7 or MIUI; Use Root Explorer it makes it easer. It also will get rid of the gost voicemail notification on Evo Shift.
I too hate GV since they changed the way it works. I decided to try Better YouMail from the market and couldn't be happier. $3 was well worth the lack of frustration. I like the interface it uses better than GV or Sprint VVM.

is this newer than the .48 version.
im running cm7 & have the .48 version installed & working, so is this an upgrade to .48
yes its the latest version, its works great on cm7 on my shift
I to am using YouMail and love it! Much better then VVM and by far better then Google Voice. There are so many options and best of all its free. Of course there is a subscription available too but I dont need my voice mails transcribed for me so the free version works just perfect.
