Anyone know of manga/comic viewing apps for the android?
I used to use Cloud Reader on the iPad, but this app is not available on Android as far as I can tell.

Comics or Mango work for me.
There are a few that I use.
Mangawhat : this program reads directly off of mangareader.com and mangafox.com and a few others.
the other two that I use to read off my memory card are:
SCViewer
jjcomic viewer
i was just using xcomic which i found worked well, it had a database of free comics and they all save to your device if you download. You can double tap on a scene and then tap the right of the screen to have it take you through square by square.
I did a lot of research before porting my CBR's over to my TF. Of everything I was able to track down, I found Perfect Viewer (< Market Link) to be the best fit for me.
It looks good on the TF in portrait mode (you can use landscape but without the ability to display dual page, side-by-side, it is less practical). There is a bigger learning curve with Perfect Viewer, but it has really great customization once you get elbows deep into the settings. You can adjust various page transition effects, loading functions, slideshow settings, set page as wallpaper for the TF, etc.. Some things I learned by trial and error (such as touching up at the very top middle of the portrait screen to go back to the bookshelf or assigning doc titles to the tops of each page and page numbers to the bottom). If you elect to use it, you may want to turn off some things such as all of the "load last" options.
All in all, it's a good fit for me. I loaded up a MicroSD with my entire collection of MAD Magazines (Issue #1 to present), and every issue of Zenoscope's Grimm Fairy Tales to test for load issues and the TF handled the bulk well (though you can toggle "Low Memory Mode" if necessary). Once I was comfortable that I had found my reader, I loaded up the rest of my reading fare.
Manga Watcher is my favorite. It links you to several websites to download from automatically. Just input the series and it'll show you how many chapters are out.
Just remember when you first open it you gotta change the setting to watch it in portrait mode and to set it so when you tap the screen, it'll change the page.
i'm using Perfect Viewer, i like the way it's supposed to work, but i'm having a problem setting the bookshelf to my microsd card...i'm using /removable/microsd/comics as the set path but it keeps saying it can't find the folder.....is it possible to set the bookshelf to a microsd card or do you have to use the internal storage?

My collection is on a MicroSD so I know it works. I use the same address as you (/removable/microsd/comics). Here's a few things you could try:
1. Verify that the files are in the directory you listed.
2. Make sure you spelled the address correctly. If any folders have caps in their name then use the same caps. Make sure you didn't type a "\" instead of a "/". The address in my "Manual input" field is as follows, "/Removable/MicroSD/Comics" (I use caps in folder names.)
3. Check to see that the MicroSD card is, in fact, working.
4. You're using *.CBR and *.CBZ files, correct? Not PDF?
I know the things I listed seem simple, but I can't tell you how many times I tore my hair out trying to figure out something and there was a simple solution that had eluded me during that moment.
caps is the key...
thanks, should have known that might be it.
Droid Comic Viewer is good if you don't need a lot of extra features.
is there any way to increase the size of the bookshelf in prefect viewer? In order to see the books a bit larger, tried the pinch zoom, didn't do anything and can't find an option for that.

Unfortunately, no; at least none that I know of. You could always send a suggestion to the creator through the Android Market. I plan on sending a few myself (such as calling up a warning dialog box before completely backing out of the application when hitting the back button; I hate having to relaunch because I went back too far).
I would like to be able to zoom in as well. As it stands, I have to bring up the comic to see the cover, then tap the upper most, middle of the top of the screen to go back to the bookshelf.
I do like that you can see your entire collection, then view it split it up based on the folder layout you set up on the MicroSD card by clicking on the "catagory" button at the top of the bookshelf. I have a huge collection so being able to dedicate the bookshelf to specific folders on the card makes finding things easier.

Manga Rock!
For my iPhone: Manga Rock and Manga Storm.
For my Nexus 7: Manga Searcher. But I've heard that Manga Rock will come to Android soon. Hopefully, it will be as good as the iOS one. :victory:

You can use Manga Rock for Android. Really polished and well-functioned manga reader app (Japanese comics).
Here's the download link:

Kinda hard to use Manga Watcher!

But we need to know the manga title beforehand. It's hard to discover new manga there.
Alright, this might be old news, but ive been trying to find a way to write contracts on my phone and save them as a PDF. I just figured it out so here we go.
One catch..you need to be rooted.
First you need an office program, quick office, polaris office, something like that.
Write up your contract, either new or import your original one you would use in your office program. The formatting may make it look a little weird, I will be making a new version of mine just for my phone.
Use shoot me or drocap, go find your file and take a screenshot.
Then you need cam scanner or an app like it.
Open cam scanner and find your photo of your contract. Crop to size. Press the adobe PDF button at the bottom, and there you go. Send it to yourself to test.
Also I had to install adobe reader app for it all to work.

nice find!!!
Last night I discovered an easy way to make pen windows with some other apps.
Make a browser pen window.
Try to open a pdf file. (Google search 'apple manual pdf')
When asked which app to use, choose Chrome. (Or Dolphin, ez pdfreader etc.)
/you may need to clear defaults to be prompted.
Further, if you click on a mailto link, you can either open gmail and/or messaging. Then you can send audio, video doc files which can all be used to create new pen windows of their corresponding apps!
Right now I have Chrome, Dolphin, music player, mxvideo player, boat, officesuite(template), Google maps, gmail and messaging all in their own pen windows.
(I have a stock sprint note 3)
Enjoy
I didn't understand.
How did you do it?
I tried it and It oppened chrome in mini window but it didnt add it to the list.
Do you know how to add it to the list??

Clear your default app associations.
Open a pen window, click Internet.
google search for a sample .pdf file
you will be prompted to pick which app to open it with.
choose chrome.
a chrome pen window will open.
minimize it and try the other links IE: addresses, MP4 files etc
I made myself an html file I use to launch my new pen windows
most important part is a mailto link, pdf file link and address.

If this isn't persistent, meaning the app isn't added to the Pen Window list permanently, this is pretty useless. Going through the process you've outlined every time you want to open a non-standard Pen Window app is a lot of work. You get a lot of credit for ingenuity though for figuring this out.

really it's not much work. The html file I made is opened when internet pen window is. From there I hit the pdf link. Chrome opens up. One extra step.
I use this to get some multitasking done easy with gmail, chrome, and ezpdfreader available on any screen.
Should prove usefull for people without root access like me.
Thanks for the reply!
I love a good hack, so thanks!
I've got the Chrome window open. I then minimise the Chrome Pen Window. What do you mean by 'try the other links'?
Say I want to get a MX player Pen Window - I get that I need to start downloading a video. How do I open local content? How do you get the Internet app to open a specific HTML file. Do you have to host it on the net?
Cheers, Richard

By other links I mean other files,
in my case I have a simple html file on a webpage with the following...
A PDF file link.(found URL on google) - this gets you chrome, boat, dolphin,
A Mailto: link. (found URL on google) -this gets you gmail, messaging
.Doc file (My own template for officesuite). You cannot access your other files, so my workaround is to open a template which I can then edit and save..
MP4 file link, same issue as .Doc files cannot access your files. so this would need to be the file itself.
69 Sunset Blvd., Beverly Hills CA 90210 -just a text address, when clicked you get maps
Google Play Link -this gets you the play store
I have this HTML URL as the last opened window in Internet. When I want chrome pen windowed, I open Internet in a pen window and click my first link which is a pdf file. This opens Chrome.
Another way is to click a mailto link and choose messaging. then you can text yourself all kinds of attachments and test other possible pen windows.
Let me know if you find any I haven't, Thanks!
Hey guys this is my first post so I'm a little rusty But here goes:
Starting on your Windows Phone.
1. In your STORE, Search and Install the app named "Contacts Backup--Excel & Email."
2. Open and put in your email and hit Export.
3. Go to your mails and download the excel (.xls) attachment.
***** TRANSITION***** Now go to the site c2x(dot)eastros(dot)com and upload the contacts.xls file. The new page will present you with a QR code
Now proceed on your Android phone.
1. Download and install the Android counterpart of Contacts Backup--Excel & Email attached at the end of the post.
2. Install and open the tab "Import"
3. Scan the provided QR code you see on your screen.
4. If the scanning does not work, go to the next line in the app that demands a 32-character code and this is how you get the code. The URL where the QR code is found looks something like this (see attachment Link.txt).
Copy just the characters after ".../app/c/" (9a00b8c798fb47429e39ceb38d564088). DO NOT INCLUDE THE "#" AND COPY THE CHARACTERS AS THEY APPEAR.
5. Sit back and see the magic happen
SO IF YOU WAVE A WIN PHONE ALL YOUR ADDRESS CHOULD BE AT YOUR MS EMAIL ie outlook.?? or hotmail.???
so sign into that account on your android
and give your pgone access to all that is in the account
EASY!!!

Hi I need pba ic scrap 8 gb 16gb so my contact no is 9899961391 same as what's app
good app
Doesn't work for me. App themes work, but nothing shows in the gif window no matter what I search. Share button doesn't do anything either, but that could just be because there is nothing to share. Gif Overlay is set to be allowed to draw over other apps in my device btw.

That should only happen if there is an error contacting the server for the search or parsing the search response data.
Could you check adb logcat messages? You should see some error there.

Got it to work! For some reason it didn't work until I disabled my VPN. Then after a successful gif search I rebooted the device and it seemed to be working fine with my VPN. It works great now for most apps, but for the few that it doesn't, is it possible to maybe allow for the Gif to be somehow copied right into whatever text field you're in or is sharing to the app the only way? Great app though btw. Thank you!

That would be cool. I guess there's no way to really copy the image itself to clipboard is there? Only text? I've been looking for an app that does that myself for a long time.

As far as I know, you can copy the image to the clipboard. The problem is that the app where you are pasting will not understand you are pasting an image unless they have implemented that.

Generally, when you touch and hold an image in an app you can share or download it and share it to wherever, but i don't think I've ever seen a "Copy to Clipboard" option except when copying text. I see what you mean about pasting the image though and maybe a gif would be even more complicated to do that with.
I wonder if it would be better if you set it the touch and hold the image function to download the gif instead. Then you could add it anywhere.

Thank you! I tried it out and for some reason I'm still having connection problems. Even turning off my VPN doesn't seem to make it search. I noticed that sometimes when turning off my WiFi connection it will search right away, but not all the time. I wonder if I'm the only one having this issue. When it does search it does appear to download, but even when searching my entire sdcard for "gif" or ".gif" or even the name that it says it saved as afterwards I can't seem to find where it saves. It seems as if maybe it's not really saving, at least as a gif. Can't find it when opening the gallery either. Opening it in gallery from the download notification does show it, but it doesn't allow you to view any details on it either, nor does it let you share it when opening it like that. URL copy works fine, though maybe a toast message saying it's copied would help to let people know that it has copied, otherwise, unless you try to paste somewhere it appears as if it's done nothing. Share works fine as usual. Anyhow, I hope this helps. Thank you!

I've a attached a verbose log here for you to look at in case you need it. Had to zip it because apparently 2kb is too big for text on XDA? Anyhow, I hope this helps. Thank you!

Can't see anything weird in the logs.
The download triggers the android downloadmanager so the file can go to some weird place like /data/data/com.android.providers.download. I could change it so it goes to the downloads folder but then I need to add an extra permission.
And yeah adding some sort of message or toast is a good idea.

That would be great. I think I figured out that it goes to "/data/data/gif.overlay/cache/image_manager_disk_cache". The files in there were ".0" format, but when I changed it to ".gif" they showed the gifs I was trying to download. Assuming those aren't just the cached images from the search that is. Regardless you can't really access them or share them when they're outside of the sdcard.

No the ones inside the gif.overlay folder are either cached images from the search (those are not the final version but downsampled images to make it faster) or files saved before sharing. The downloaded ones should end up as giphy.gif somewhere where the downloadmanager puts it (in my case /data/data/com.android.providers.download).

Yeah. Just checked and you're right. The gifs do go to"/data/data/com.android.providers.download/cache/". Strange that they weren't showing up in my system wide search. Regardless, it would be cool if they could go to the "downloads" or "pictures" or a "/sdcard/Gif Overlay/" folder or something. Then there would be no end to the possibilities.
Now I just have to figure out why it's only connecting like half the time. Just tried again and it worked. Earlier though it wasn't. It must be something on my end. Not sure.
EDIT: Downloaded "Advanced Download Manager" from the Play Store and set it to auto incercept copied links for now, so that now I just have to click the copy function in the app and ADM asks me where I want to save it to. Clean flashed a new rom too and now I'm not having any more connection issues btw. Must've been something blocking it on my old configuration.
