Hello All,
I am a new member and have been lurking here for several weeks trying to learn about the Android tablets and, in particular, the Transformer. This one sounds like the model I want to invest in. I am somewhat on in years so I don't have a lot of the backround knowledge on a lot of the technical types of things I read discussed on this forum so I was wondering if I could ask a favor from the group. One of the main things I want to do with the tablet is read scanned copies of scientific journals, books, magazines, etc. I'm assuming the Transformer can do this easily. However, I also want to read newspapers. I live in the Atlanta area and I subscribe to the Atlanta Journal/Constitution. They have a web-based version which contains the full content of the newspaper. I can read it on my desktop, but I have been unable to load the site on Android demo units at Best Buy (maybe because Flash 10.2 isn't installed?). Could someone try to load a demo of the AJC on their Transformer and tell me if it loads correctly and if you can read the content? The link follows and it is free, requiring no registration.
OK - it appears as a new member I can't enter a link so I'll try to describe it.
the link is e-edition dot ajc dot com. And then click on 'View Demo'.
It is a split screen with kind of a table of contents on the left and the main content on the right. I would be most appreciative if some brave soul could give this a try and report back.
many thanks in advance,
Brian
I wouldnt say the interface was very smooth or anything, but it does work. And the pinch to zoom works too to let you zoom in on the buttons to see them easier. Couple of screenshots attached for you to see. One landscape mode and the other in portrait.
Personally I much prefer PDF files as they work a lot better. But obviously not everything is available as a pdf. There is an app (called PressReader) that lets you subscribe to a huge amount of newspapers included on the transformer, it's not free though, although it does let you test out about 5 copies of papers of your choice first.
Edit: There's a massive list of USA papers and I'm not spending all day looking for the atlanta ones, but a quick search with the search box didnt show up anything with the name "Atlanta" in that app.
Many, many thanks, stuntdouble. I have to admit I was a bit distressed when I couldn't get it to work at Best Buy (I even started looking at iPads). Now I'm sold and will patiently await the next shipment of Transformers.
Another option for your newspaper is to go through PressDisplay. The My Library application included on the TF comes with a 7 day trial. There is also a separate PressDisplay application available in the Market.
I use PressDisplay to read The Washington Post and I really like how PressDisplay makes a full size newspaper work on a 10" screen.
Thanks, Jerirat. It appears the AJC isn't offered by them as yet. Maybe in the future?
AJC is indeed available in the included pressdisplay app.
Hey Brian, I'm in metro Atlanta and read the AJC everyday on the Transformer. It actually looks better to me on the Asus than on my desktop......
ok I just reread ur post and tried the e-edition. at the moment it says the "server application is unavailable"... I'll try again later
Thanks, mb2k. Fool that I am, I was looking under the "A's" in the list for 'Atlanta...' and there it was under 'T' for "The Atlanta..." Should have known <head slap>.
Brian
Thanks, rrushhour - do you use the AJC link or Pressdisplay?
I use the ajc link. As others have said, the e edition does work...just went to it.

I've started a new site, http://www.otainstall.com, that is designed to let you quickly install apps from PocketIE on your phone. I originally posted it over at ppcgeeks and the users there seem to be pretty happy with it.
It's password protected for now, just to keep the volume limited a bit. You can log in with the password 'blahblah'.
It's pretty new, so please let me know any bugs that you find. Also note that you should be able to upload apps to the site so that others can download them.
I'll be taking suggestions on category name improvements, etc..
Let me know what you think!
Nice idea! One thing that might be useful is a "Back" button embedded in the page: Make it better for full screen browsing.
Double Awesome
Thanks a lot. What exactly can I upload?

There are categories on the site, but generally anything is allowed as long as it's not copyrighted material. Ideally it should be a cab file or an executable that can be easily installed over the air.
Great idea for one stop shopping. Just an observation, how will you control duplicate entries or different release versions of same app? I can see it getting very ugly and unfriendly to the end-user very quickly. Just looking at programs and applications I already see two versions of spacer there and varying naming conventions and use of description. Haven't tried search yet, but maybe that helps sort that out...if you know exactly what you want (and the right keywords are called and published either in description or app file name).

This is definitely revision 1 of the site, so I'm taking all these suggestions and will be rewriting based off them. It's quite a bit more popular than I initially expected, so I'm pretty happy that everyone is enjoying it.
I was thinking of something like this, but more on an application repository type. Take the idea from linux / Ubuntu's application repositorys, where it can download, install, and keep up to date at all times as things are added and fixed.
If you could get this to work together with something like MoDaCo AppToDate it would be an awesome pair of apps...
looks promising, good luck with the site!
I posted this over on PPCGeeks, but I thought I would post here to get more exposure and input. Here is the ppcgeeks thread. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=53230
Okay, I've brought this up elsewhere, and I guess it's time to create a new thread and get this going. I've seen so many different threads with different tweaks, top icons, TF3D icons, Windows themes, Manilla themes, etc... and I also notice some people try to combine them into one post (which is very difficult, and still results in the addition of other posts/threads).
Anyways, something I've been wanting to see done for a long time is to be able to go to a webpage, pick and choose with pictures what we want on our phone, and download and install them. Rather than having people search to find several thread results, they can just go to one website, and view up to date info.
First example I will use is the top icons for the Touch Pro. I see several threads (3 of which I personally noticed to be predominately popular - http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=49827, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=437307, and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=437420). These threads are very long (one of which with 1,800+ posts). What I would like to do is have people who create icons submit their icons to this website (I don't have a name for it yet), and people can go there to see & download their work. All original work will be credited appropriately, and can also have a "donate" button as such. People can still post their work on the forums, but they can say it's been submitted to "the website", and people can visit "the website" to download.
What I've noticed is some people on the iPhone community have such things as Installer Apps, which is a compilation of various applications ready to be downloaded and installed to the device. This includes games, apps, icons, etc...
What I would like to ask is for some assistance from willing volunteers (you don't have to commit your time, but any help is appreciated). Maybe suggest ideas of what can be incorporated, gather information to be added to the site, etc... I do have a full time job, and I will be doing this on my own personal time as a way to give back to the community I've been a part of for 2 years.
I have some basic HTML skills, and I'm pretty computer savvy, but any help is appreciated. With that, I'll open this thread to any inspirational ideas and discussion.
Thanks, and let's make this a better community for everyone!

Thanks to GhettoBSD (from PPCGeeks), I've been able to make additions to his WikiSpace. So far I've made additions to the Themes page. (Of course, all themes are referenced to the original poster, and notified of this submission).

That site is awesome but it is over run with spam. I contacted the webmaster with some basic spam-fighting tactics. That site has a REALLY good foundation and is a great idea.
I'm pretty good with websites. I code all my html, php, SQL etc by hand in notepad. My site, http://miiwiichat.com is a chat room site for Nintendo Wii users. The site allows user submissions of articles, reader feedback, admin/mod pages, CAPTCHAs, lots of SPAM deterrent.
I don't have the time to code up a whole site, but I can help out.
@nhvoltagenh - Isn't your website a little ironic? A site dedicated for Windows Mobile graphics with a Apple OSX theme. lol. Don't worry, I like the glassy look and feel of OSX too.
Hello everyone. I've a sort of proposal for the developers here, but before I get into that let me first briefly introduce myself:
I'm a communication designer for print, user interface, and illustration that completely advocates everything Android. I've been lurking the Dream development forums here for quite some time, trying to keep up-to-date with the latest ROMs, apps, etc., etc and I fully appreciate everything that goes on here and the endeavors that you devs put yourself through. Amazing stuff, really.
One thing I've noticed is that there are a slew of third-party / beta apps all over these boards, and other places on the internet as well. More often than not, I find myself scouring the cloud just to find a link for these non-market apps, and I usually get referred to them via some obscure site through another site. Despite getting the .apk file or ROM in the end, the process can get to be a bit tedious; especially for incoming users and those new to the Android platform.
My proposal is this: A website with a simple and clean user interface that has direct and succinct navigation with the purpose of consolidating and listing third-party / beta non-market applications into an easy access database. This website database would link these applications and have them be easily downloaded and installed via the Android browser, without having to mount the device.
I've actually come up with a fully-functional concept site, did the branding and everything for it, and also registered a short domain name for quick access while on your G1 or whatever Android device.
Navigate to: http://anda.pk to see what I had in mind, and how the overall layout/concept of the site would work.
I uploaded several .apk files I had backed up as examples for you to see how the database section would function. I also took into account the resolution of most Android phones and made the .apk application database section fit perfectly in the Android browser when in portrait mode right when you the load the site to ensure the best possible user experience when installing these third party apps. When you scroll to the right, you'll see info on what the site is about, and in the footer there are links to the FAQ, the about section, contact, etc.
I had also noted in the about link in the footer that the applications hosted on the download section are in no way accredited to the site, and that credit goes to their rightful developers. My being a communication designer has had the idea of peer collaboration engrained, and as such I give credit it where credit is due.
That said, I hope you guys here and the developers collaborate with me on on this site, possibly help contribute apks, and agree to them being hosted. If anything, I do hope you just embrace the concept, which originally was just going to be a reference for myself and my friends whom I've turned away from the iPhone, S60, and WinMo in favor of Android. I figured since I know the Android community is only going to get bigger, this website concept of mine could be a decent resource to have bookmarked.
Appreciate you reading this wall of text! Do hope to hear some feedback, so let me know what you guys think. Thanks!
Cheers.
I think this is a fabulous idea...automated version control would go over very well -- i.e. yum update
you should post up bits that you need help with and have folks contact you.
also..I love the logo!
question: do you propose a rating system or a review prior to listing type of approach or something new to keep this resource trustworthy?
Been following this on SA and twitter and it's a great idea.
Having the devs here on board would be a fantastic way to get something solid on the go. It's the kind of thing that can really help android become more hackable and useable for the average user...and it just make things easier for the rest of us.
Sounds good to me.

Credit and accreditation are different things. To be accredited is to be given credentials or official approval. I think you meant "credited".
Sounds like a GREAT idea.
My opinion: The color scheme hurts. Love the logo.
i like the logo and the idea. I think the site should be more mobile friendly, or even better, an application for android that can work like the official market. I could help with that part if an application is going to be built.

i second that.. it should also have update checks if possible
I was going to complain that I didn't like your site layout, but in portrait mode you only see the left side which lists the apps. I like it.
One thing you might have to be leary of is dealing with apps that are considered warez unless your going to spend the time to verify every app that is uploaded or there has to a method in place.
As well there should be some kind of version control in place. You know what works on 1.1 and what works on 1.5. Obviously almost everybody within the next few weeks/months should be on 1.5, but will all the older apps run on 1.5 or does it really matter or does anybody care? The downloader will care.

Seconded. The text is much too light. A darker charcoal shade would be much better.
If the site gets an apk wrapper (a la FBook) version checking would be rather easy. Set up the directory tree something like this /downloads/WiFiTether/1.2.3.apk and just have the apk compare filenames. If the file names don't match, it needs to install the update.
EDIT: Now following your progress on twitter.
Some solid input. I'll play around with the color scheme and make some changes later this evening once I get back from class. And I actually do plan on making a mobile wrapper eventually, but as it stands as far as the concept layout goes, the site is best used when in portrait mode for easiest functionality. The rest of the site is to be considered supplemental. I do however, have a lot of things I eventually want to integrate; application tags, search, possibility of user uploaded apk files, etc. But for right now, I'm trying to keep the general site as simple as possible to make the workload on my end less stressful (graduating in 2 weeks).

Did not know how that version checker worked. Thanks. I'll re-work the apk directory scheme akin to that later tonight for when I do eventually get the wrapper up.

That's not necessarily how most version checks work, but that's the simplest method I could think of, and probably one of the easiest to implement.

Thanks! And I feel I might need some help in the future as far as implementing the features that I want to get working. But I'm not quite sure I understand your question. Are you referring to how I choose which applications get posted onto the site?

(think about an android based layout to bring it to the phone like Cough*cydia*cough
very cool and much needed
Xda-dev is great, but there is alot of stuff thats not on the market and they have shown to bow down to the tmobs pressure(ie: tether app) so another place to get apps would be great, and your weppage is beautiful and looks like it would be very finger friendly on the g1, but there is a basic model in linux of repositories(which is about what ur doing) and a simple app to d/l them maybe somebody could just make a market.apk with a modded addy, depending on how much is known about the market and its inner workings... it would be nice to do it as it has been always done....but as I stated above your webdesign is very nice and would work well in the native browser(im heading there now on my g1)
bhang
not a bad idea. I think this is great for all verified apps that are pulled from market...
I really like this idea. Go for it.
Just one (stupid) remark about the logo... it's like it has a big nose and a :-| expression... sorry

Haha, I just noticed that actually. Now it's all I see. But yeah, I'm hoping to have a few more apps to upload by the end of next week. Revisions to the site are imminent once I get out of this last class.
I love the idea. One bookmark to check up on all the good non-market apps will be much easier than having several bookmarked threads.
Some applications may benefit from having tags such as [beta], [stable], [experimental], [contains-ads], etc.
As others have mentioned once/if user uploads are implemented an app approval system will be crucial to keep the spam at bay. I can see this really taking off.

+1 this sounds like a great idea, there was something like this for apps for the dash,mda & sda.
I've been trying to get Desire's PDF Viewer to work on a N1 ROM (CM 5.0.5.3) with no luck.
I can start the app but get FC when trying to open a pdf-file.
I pushed the following files:
/system/app/FilePicker.apk
/system/app/PDFViewer.apk
/system/lib/libpdfreader.so
(been trying to install the PDFView.apk separate too)
Did I miss a/some file(s) or do you think it will require more than just pushing some files?
Why bother? Quickoffice (which you can pull out of any of the Modaco custom roms, even the prebaked ones) will handle PDFs and most other text based files
Well Quickoffice kinda suck cause it doesn't always show everthing in a pdf-file (think it converts it to some web format? )
And I want the pinch-to-zoom function ;P
IMO you're better served just using QuickOffice, it should render them out just fine unless they were saved with the "adobe compression scheme and not just optimized. then you'll get odd rendering. As for pinch, I believe theres a mod for that if I'm not mistaken.
Well that might be true, but I can't decide how others save their documents. Several times I haven't been able to view the whole content. For example when I download the timetable for the buss line I can't see the days and where the buss stops - which is kinda worthless.
But my topic isn't about how well QuickOffice works or not, but how to make PDF View from Desire to work on a N1 ROM.

Please stop posting. It's EXTREMELY frustrating when someone makes a thread and other people try to talk them out of it.
Anyway, on topic, QuickOffice sucks ass. It pixelates the crap out of files when you zoom in. The Desire ROM PDF viewer is the ONLY PDF viewer available for Android that doesn't completely destroy PDF files when zooming in. (And that is including the half dozen PDF viewers on the Market).
Unfortunately no, you cannot export the PDF viewer from Desire onto Stock ROM.

Really? Well, excuse me for offering an alternative and my opinion. I didn't realized that you were such a prick and that user here weren't allowed to express their thoughts. I'm not trying to "talk him out of it", merely saying, that there is an alternative that will do more, and arguably works just fine with standard files. If you want to know whats more frustrating, its morons like you, who think that they can boss people around. I've probably been involved in more "hacking" and "modding" arena's than you can even think of, and I don't need some self-absorbed narcissist to tell me I'm not allowed to share my thoughts on an open board. So, please, stop posting your stupid derogatory thoughts, which are less than helpful and spurious to say the least.
PS. I don't know what you're doing with QuickOffice, but theres no pixelation or defects for me on any file. Perhaps you should try getting your head out of your bum, that might clear the images on the screen up for you. Also, your comment about QO is offtopic if you bothered reading the post right above yours, and not on topic

I have to say (not trying to flame) but I am going to have to agree with Paul on this one. So many times people start a thread such as this one and no where did the guy ask "could you please give me a list of alternative apps I could use" he is strictly wanting to discuss this app and how to get it working on a different rom.
I assure you he knows there are other apps to open PDF files, that was not his issue nor his request.
My two cents

I've had 0 issues with Beamreader, I use it to check the bus schedules for my town every day, it renders them flawlessly, images and text. QuickOffice F's them up majorly.
I use PDF To Go, which works great performance-wise and it's rendering isn't bad either. I wish it had PTZ though...
I also wish you could get the Desire PDF viewer extracted successfully...
BTW, Quickoffice is a joke...
Cant you just flash the desire rom on the nexus one to get the desire pdf viewer ?
Im not sure, Im just confirming. I too want to flash the nexus one with desire rom, but Im waiting for the final build.
Found a reader named RepliGo Reader which seem to render good. And best of all, it have pinch-to-zoom.
I was really disappointed with all Android PDF readers & unwilling to sell my iPod touch just for apps like GoodReader! A couple of weeks ago I found this great app called "ezPDF Reader" by accident in market & gave it a try & it's just impressive!
Unlike Repligo, QuickOffice, DocumentsToGo &.... it renders everything really fast, renders huge PDF files without any problems & here's the list of some of it's features:
It's super fast & reliable, not a single FC on documents larger tha 40 MBs!
Renders pages & pictures in a blink! It really shames Adobe Reader & similar apps...
Supports auto zooming feature for all columns & pictures.
Supports Night Mode & text reflow the way it should!
Shows thumbnails of all pages while reading in a very pleasant way!
Gets updated at least once a week! (Have had it for about 2 months)
Developers will actually implement your request, just tweet them or email them & in next version it's there!
You can add bookmarks to your documents.
Fully supports password-protected files.
Supports Wake-Lock.
Supports multi-touch up to 3 fingers.
Plays the multimedia content in PDFs.
Comes with free PDF printer for PC!
Supports Copy/Paste!
Supports pinch to zoom, horizontal lock, remembers your zoom level & position when you navigate.
Great animations!
It's just 0.99$!!!!!
& much more...
I really think developers deserve being supported, it's 5-star-rated in Market but it's been stuck in 1000-5000 downloads range for a very long time! Just give it a try, you'll love it! I just don't want developers abandon it coz there's nothing like it in Android Market! I don't know why it hasn't got enough attention though!
Appbrain Link
If you have already tried it, you can post your idea about it here!
They just released another update today which improves the rendering speed much more! I just hope they release a trial version or something to get more attention! Nobody has used the app here?
I have this on a Nook Color and I can't seem to get the menu to redisplay once the overlay controls minimize. How do you do it?

I think (it may be) that some developers use very sneaky ways to advertise their products here on xda.

It is the best one among those pdf reader I have used.
If you search the threads started by me, you realize I was desperately looking for a PDF reader with ezPDF features couple of months ago!
Android Market PDF readers are nothing good compared to this & they all carry price tags like 10$!!!
There's no benefit behind this topic for me, just want to make the project popular so it continues the way it is going now! It's been always updated at least twice a week... If you haven't tried it yet, use the 24 hours refund policy to check it, however I don't think you will ever ask for refund!

Does this annotate pdf? I'm trying to figure out why apple has 10,001 apps that markup pdf and Droid has none (that I found)
Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk
I just stumbled upon this app today. I was looking for a reasonably priced reader that had bookmarks so I can resume reading of large docs. This fits it to a "T". All the others I looked at were in the $7-10 price range. The UI is taking some getting used to, I would like to see a help or manual as there are almost too many options.

I still consider it as spam. Simple as that. You don't give a review. You just sum up the things it can do, you give a price and that's it.
And now you are talking about a 24 hours refund policy? Man... this is just spam.
I don't know what to tell you buddy! Whatever you wish to call it, I listed the features I think no other Droid PDF reader has, I can't figure out your problem!! Developers are Korean, I am by the way Iranian/Persian so ...!
It doesn't need a detailed review since there's no competition in PDF readers field on Android Market...! I think it is 5/5 rated!
As for manual, I found it a bit confusing too! Actually developers have an odd way of describing the features & how-to-dos! Read their tweets from following URL, somehow it works as their manual!!!

I have this app also, it really is the best. I was ready to buy BeamReader then I found ezPdf

I don't know what to tell you buddy! Whatever you wish to call it, I listed the features I think no other Droid PDF reader has, I can't figure out your problem!! Developers are Korean, I am by the way Iranian/Persian so ...!
It doesn't need a detailed review since there's no competition in PDF readers field on Android Market...! I think it is 5/5 rated!

Don't you get it? We are also developers but we respect the forum rules and try not to sell our apps here in such a explicit way.
But just go on with your pushy, disrespectful monologue.

C'mon why can you advertise an app, while we developers aren't allowed to advertise our apps here on xda-dev.
I think (it may be) that some developers use very sneaky ways to advertise their products here on xda.
I think this thread should be closed!

Hmmmmm.....How so?
ADW was developed & advertised hereon XDA. Dialer one was advertised here on XDA. Mort player was both advertised during it's Winmo days & now in Android too.
If a mod closed your thread, talk to another mod about it.
Spamming your app however is different.
Oh btw, he isn't pushy. You are pushy with you personal vendetta. If you have a problem with this thread, report it man. Easy as that.

This is not a personal vendetta. I encourage all developers to promote their apps. I have no problem with that. The problem is that I think it's rather inappropriate to promote apps in a forum where developers are discouraged to promote their own paid apps. Isn't really motivating. Don't you see that?
And I didn't have had any problems with any moderator. So no, that isn't my motive also.
And of course I have contacted xda developers, but with a constructive request if it is possible to look for a way how developers can promote their own apps without undermining the philosophy of xda developers.
Btw ADW, dialer one and mort are free programs/apps as far as I know.
appelflap,
Before you complain about commercialization and self-promotion why not remove the "Donate To Me" link that shows up on all of your posts?
I do not see a violation of the forum rules here.
Thanks to the OP for pointing out a viable alternative PDF viewer.
