Zinio for Android & PressDisplay for Android

Extract from JH3 Galaxy Tab Rom download from here. Tested work on Nexus one 2.2.1 w/ Cyanmod 6.1 ROM. only problem is that it force closes in landscape mode. I have been searching up and down for this for over half year since first heard of it earlier this year -- it is time to trade Nexus one to a bigger screen phone.
you would need to install all three apks, and only readinghub has launcher icon. from there, you can launch zinio or pressdisplay
for these who do not know yet zinio, it is the largest US e-magazine subscription provider. zinio for ios is one of the most downloaded non-game software. it has reading client for pc, mac, web flash. www.zinio.com
pressdisplay is similar to zinio only that it offers e-newspaper.

It didn't work on my Hero
is there hope for me?

thanks for the apks
tested it on my droid x, zinio couldn't display any picture
does it show pic on your N1?
and it also crashed on landscape mode.
haven't try the pressdisplaythough.

Same here
Same here. I installed on Galaxy tab and it wont work.!

Will it work on Nook Color?

working ok in my Nexus 1.

Has anyone tried using Zinio on NookColor
Has anyone tested this on Nook Color - I run the app and nothing happens.

Tested on Cruz Reader and get Force Close on ReadingHub every time. Is this 3g/4g dependent?

Works and crashes

Same here on an Archos 70.

Works quite well on my HTC Desire.
Crashes (most times) if you switch from Portrait to Landscape during a session, but zooms, switches from full view to text mode and back and swipes through pages back and forth without problem.
Been using it for a couple of weeks now.

Updated my N1 to Girgerbread, and zinio stop worked, start to appears forced to close the apps.

Works reasonably well on my motor zoom. I've encountered intermittent force closes but not enough to be discouraging. It's great in portrait mode.

Are magazines working on your Xoom? I just get crashes when I try to open it up.

Stopped updating latest magazines and now won't reinstall properly on the HTC Desire
Hopefully a supported App is coming SOON!!!!!

[Q]Some questions about basic app, need help

Well i got my android phone a week ago (motorola defy) and ever since i've been finding out some lag and some minor problems with the apps running on it. The slide lock lagged but i installed a new one with widgets and it works just fine. Now i need some advices about other ones.
1. Youtube stock app for android 2.1: When the video loads and i move the bar within the place where the video had been loaded, but guess what, it gets stuck and does the loading again, and not like the windows browser's youtube...Is it suppose to be that way?
2. The keyboard is kind of hard to type with and i've been looking at some keyboard layouts but whenever i installed one, it said that it'll record whatever i'll type so in a way is it dangerous? because when i type my password on internet, does it get sent over to some website or is it totally safe?
3. Also I'm using launcher pro, it works fine but i was wondering if the stock launcher is working in the background as well which can cause lag along with launcher pro?
4.Also my stock browser laggs sometimes when it's zoomed in. So i would need some suggestions about another faster browser?
Thanks for any kind of help and advice

funny, i expected something from you guys as my questions are one of the common questions...or is someone can't be bothered here to help me out? ...

1. No idea...
2. Its safe, no worries, slideit is imo the best keyboard. But there are a lot of alternatives.
3. The stock launcher is in sleep I assume, with Home Switcher you can swop. When only 2 or 3 launchers installed your system doesnt lag. Or you can freeze it with titanium backup, not sure if it can do any harm when you freeze your stock launcher.
4. Try miren browser, it is really good.

thanks alot for your help, really appreciated it.
About the youtube stock app, what i basically mean is that, when a youtube video on computer on any browser...is loaded completely (red color strip). You can freely move the circle thing within the red color stripped which basically mean that that part is loaded can be be watched freely. BUT with my stock youtube application, that's not how it works. If i move the cursor a bit, it just hangs there and then i have to start the video from the beginning, loading and alll that. So i wanted to know if there's a good alternative youtube app with cache? so that once the video is loaded (when connected to internet), you can watch it even if you have no internet connection at that time...

[Q] Is anyone getting operating lag?

The OS seems to be lagging. It could be the hardware or maybe its the infancy stages of Honeycomb, but not a single thing on the TF is smooth.
-Switching home screens lags
-Playing Angry Birds lags
-Window animations lag
[Q] Is anyone else getting these problems?
It kind of hinders the experience, and for industry leading specs, the performance is quite poor.

The only lag I've noticed so far is with the keyboard input on web pages.

Have you tried using Advance Task Killer to kill background running apps or processes? This helps me when I experienced any lags.

I have never experienced lag on Angry Birds, but then again you may be running more apps than me.

I experienced this a few days after I got my tablet. It ended up being an app/widget I had installed off of the market called weather3d. As soon as I tracked the problem down and uninstalled the app, it was smooth again. Kind of scary how much a wonky/non honeycomb tested app can destroy the performance of your device.

I checked out my memory usage, at the moment the tablet is telling me I am using 157 mb and have 353 mb of Ram left.

Unfortunately, it was lagging out of the box. I was showing it off to my sister and she's like "what are you trying to show me, the sketchy transitions?"
Maybe its all the widgets? I have all the stock ones including calendar, youtube, android market, and browser widgets

Mine is laggy too especially during home screen transitions using the HC launcher. It is noticeable especially if you are coming from an iPad. I have read that 3.1 fixes these problems and transitions are silky smooth with no lag. I'm currently using Launcher Pro with 1 home screen since I don't use widgets and I like to keep all my apps on one screen. This seems to save on RAM and makes app switching smoother.

I have all of the stock widgets and then some. Runs as fast as any other tab I've seen including if ad. I'm also running the newer firmware 8.2.3.9.

How much RAM is everyone getting. My tablet is reading out 185 mb being used and 380 mb free, so a total of 565 mb.
I know the tablet is supposed to have 1 gb of RAM.

Turn the Live Wallpaper off.

I don't have live wallpaper. Plus, if I did, isn't it supposed to handle it?

I was getting lag with the default launcher, right now using VTL Launcher and its much better. I am getting lag with the browser (default) but with the debug tweak pages are loading much faster then before but theres times when it does lag. Was getting lag with the asus keyboard and just the android one and its much better.

Like any techsupport would ask:
what have u loaded on-the-job tablet? And don't say nothing because everyone loads at least one thing on a new tablet.
Have u tried to remove all installed apps (and Flash-bet u installed that)?
Have u rooted it yet?
Have u tried to root it yet?
Have u attempted/completed any firmware upgrades?
Are u using a dock?
Have u tried it without the dock?
Have u tried a hard reboot (hold power button for 12-15 secs?

i get panel transition lags when i set some live wallpapers
stock, no root, with latest firmware

If u want no lag and and want to use as many widgets with out system lagging do this
1 download ADW ex in market
2 go to adw setting and go to general behavior,animations and effects, transition effect and select *Curve ( I've tryed all pf them and some reason curve has the best fluid swiping)
4 make sure wallpaper scrolling is disabled
5 set desktop bounce to 15
6 set scrolling to 230
This is my way of a lag free life.
Also turn off alm the gestures there not needed
Ill do a video of before and after soon

You are correct...that really made my home screens fly!

-First thing out of the box: lag from scrolling. Then got flash, still lagging
-then got Angry Birds
-then got other android apps
-Not rooted, haven't tried
-just got notice of available firmware update today, will do after battery charges past 50
-No dock
-hard reboot did help a touch
I think I will try to restore it factory settings first, then runnig the firware upgrade, then getting flash. Will post results

Good News! I restored the tablet to factory settings and actually restored it from backup after that. Here is what I have noticed:
-The tablet is working much faster now, with no appreciable lag. Still some tiny amounts here and there but totally forgivable
-The preloaded music (4 songs) was gone. I think this means that before the ship the tablet they preload it with random software. So now its all gone, and whatever was causing the slow down before is gone now as well.
-I restored from back up so I have all my apps back as well as flash and it works perfect
-Also, the Asus keyboard no longer lags! Which is great because I like it better than the Android one. So if anyone wants to use the Asus keyboard without lag, just reset your tablet to factory settings.
Thanks for all the help everyone, I will still try Cowballz69 idea to speed it up even more

[FIX] Dead Space horizontal mode HC 3.2

Finally it's working fine. All what you need to do is turn off 3G/WiFi, then put your Transformer horizontally and try run Dead Space 4-5 times.
Here is my video:
@Edit:
Of course you must use qualcomm plugin in Chainfire3D.

whats the launcher etc your using looks a cool set up,also cool game
could you post launcher and add on ets your using like how the wall paper stays on when you enter apps

It's ADW EX, Extended Controls, Simple Text, Minimalistic Text, BobClockD3, StorageEther2
You can set up it in ADW.

I tried to install Dead space on my eee pad after reading this thread, game installed perfectly and runs smooth only issue is the graphics.. There is some thing wery wierd going on :S
Uploaded a vid;
Runing Prime 1.9

You must use qualcomm plugin in Chainfire3D

Thanks ! That fixed the "problem"

Now if somebody could figure out how to make it playable with a mouse and keyboard that would be great. Until then I think I'll stick to using it on my xperia play.
How did you get those folders for the short cuts on the launcher? Is that an ADW specific feature or can the stock launcher be configured for that?

No, in stock launcher you can't use your own icons for folders.
To make my own icons I'm using minimalistic text.

It seems, that this method is working only with dock. I tried to launch the game without it 14 times in a row - still in portrait. When I plugged the tablet in the dock - worked with first try in landscape.

I can run it in landscape without dock

Hmm, I installed Chainfire3D, and installed the qualcomm plugin, but I'm still getting the white, textureless world. Not sure which version you guys acquired, but the one I found comes with two different rars for data and two different apk's. I installed the normal apk, the other being a "fixed orientation", and have tried both data packs, which I extracted to both the /sdcard and /Removable/MicroSD. Halp!
Edit: Whoops. Had to activate the driver in Chainfire.

do i have to be rooted to use chainfire3D qualcomm plugin on my transformer?

Yes, Chainfire requires root.

Font Size Impacts Apps

I struggled with the SGN10.1 until I found the setting to increase the font from Normal to Large (my eyes are bad). Didn't need the Huge setting. Some apps rendered strange, but most were great. But Words With Friends just bellied up and died. The app would freeze every time I tried to open. I reinstalled several times, cleared cache, powered off, basically did everything I could think of, several times. Then, I reset my Settings font to normal, and the app started properly and was back to normal. I tested Large font, and WWF broke again. This is repeatable.
There are several apps that replace the system fonts, but they seem severe. Any ideas? My only choice is to deinstall WWF so I can use the larger font. But then it could be a slippery slope, deinstalling apps that wont load.
Thanks, k.

Have you emailed zynga? Maybe they can help, and if they don't you could try word feud. I feel like there are less ads and you can even buy that one to avoid ads

No, I haven't emailed Zynya because I wasn't sure if it was some setup option on the Note. And playing with anything that isn't a user setup option makes me nervous. For now, I increased the default size of "Normal" on the browser, and used the "Stretch to fit" option when available on the apps. Thanks for your reply
