I added a video.
Is there any feedback ?
Tried it... doesn't recognise CBZ or CBR the two most common net comic formats
I'll unzip/unrar them and try again.
It definitely needs CBZ and CBR support.
Sent from my Kindle Fire using xda premium
You are right. I will add support of cbz and cbr.
What about performance ?
Is it smooth (depending of your phone or tablet) ?
Thank you very much for your help.
Regards.
Seems super-smooth. Will be happy to use it if you can add the CBR/Z support and keep it running as nice!
Although I am running on a Samsung Galaxy SII running CheckROM RevoHD v4 and the excellent DarkKnight v2.4.3 kernel... so most things run pretty smooth!
I added both file support : .cbz and .cbr.
Cbz (zip) is not cpu consuming so app is still smooth.
About Cbr (rar), it's no as smooth as before but still usable.
Don't hesitate to give a feedback.
Thanks !
I added PDF file support.
So now the list of supported format is :
JPG
PNG
PDF
CBZ/ZIP
CBR/RAR
Don't hesitate to give a feedback.
Thanks !
I published a new version (v1.0.48).
This version contains new features :
A border can be display over bitmaps to easily identify pages
Added option to choose border size
Support multi-language (for now, english and french)
Don't hesitate to give a feedback.
Thanks !
I published a new version (v1.0.51).
This version contains new features :
Added autoscroll by long pressing screen
Replace configuration screen
Added velocity management
Added korean language
Fix minor bugs
Don't hesitate to give a feedback.

Any chance of getting a link to the apk directly? I'd like to try this but I don't have access to the Market on my Kindle Fire.

Thanks, gonna try out my new Walking Dead Comics!
Thanks for the link! This works great on the Kindle Fire. The scrolling is kind of annoying at times, but it hasn't failed to open any file I've thrown at it yet. Is there an option to tap to turn pages instead of scrolling? If there is, I can't find it. If there isn't, there should be. Other than that this is a great comics viewer. Great job!

Thanks onestoploser for your feedback.
For now, there is no option to go next page (only by scrolling).
I will add an option for this.
About scrolling, you said :

What exactly is the issue ?
Thanks.
Will test now on cm9 p1000

Sometimes it seems to scroll too far, like into the next page after the one I'm going to. Setting the velocity speed to none helps, but still happens on occasion. That's why I was wondering about a tap to turn the page option. Like I said though, this is a great app!

Feature Requests:
* Please consider an application icon that reflects the comic-centric nature of this reader.
* Right-To-Left Manga reading was chosen as default, should be Left-To-Right, or have a dialog asking the user what he reads most frequently mangas or US comics, and choose accordingly.
* When going to the next page, please move the page to the top corner, right now it moves to the center of the next page. Same for previous page.
* Option to force screen on all the time while reading
* Option to force screen brightness while reading
* Option to show low battery warning while reading
* Pinch-to-zoom - it's just too convenient and expected by users
* Homescreen Widget 2x2/3x3 - the latest opened comic book/page. Shows the latest opened/read page, and in its corner a smaller thumb of that comic book's cover. Also info about the name and the page number, both optional from widget settings.
* Playlist (Reading Order) management.
* Shortcuts - create Playlist or a Folder into a screen shortcut. When clicked, move to the latest opened comic on it's latest read page from that Playlist or Folder.
Do most of these (Playlist may require more effort but is worth it) and slap a 2.99$ price, and I'll buy it immediately.

Thank you for your suggestion.
1.I'm a programmer not art designer. So my art sense is not enough to design a good icon. I'll try to think other design.
2.I make this software is mainly for read Japanese comic(Manga). So I make Right-To-Left as default. Maybe show a dialog to let user choose on first startup is a good idea.
3.Yor may try set page origin to reading direction
Menu -> Browse -> Reading direction
4~7. I'll add these function in future.
8~10. I don't have plan to add these function currently. There is many other function need to add. Maybe I'll consider these when I completed other function.
This app is great, small but powerful, thanks for you work!

XDA is rife with designer talent that is eager to work for quality projects, so maybe you should just look around and ask for art/theme designers to land a hand or provide assets for backgrounds, etc? You will be surprised just how much your app will be improved with proper artwork.
Very nice app, fast and powerful. I have been looking for a simple sequential image viewer like this since I got my Android phone and I've tried quite a few; this is the best I've seen yet.
What I like:
Fast interface
Customizable touch zones allow quick zooming and navigation
Good format support
Can browse into directories that start with a dot
A few improvements I'd like to suggest:
I like the option to select the resampling method, but nearest-neighbor doesn't look very good and the other options perform too slowly on my phone to be practical. Other image viewers (such as the default Gallery) seem to handle image scaling with a better quality/performance tradeoff. Also it seems like there is an off-by-one error when selecting the sampling method, when I select a method I always get the method just above the one I selected.
It would be nice if there was an option for automatically switching screen orientation when the phone is rotated. Also, when I switch orientation the app steps forward to the next page, I think it should stay on the same page.
I don't see a long-press action, that could be another configurable action. It might be useful to display the touch commands on long press in case you forget some of the less-used commands and need a reminder. Or it could be configured to execute some other action.
The app is not too big currently, but it is larger than some other similar apps. For example ACV is under 300KB.
All in all, great app! Thanks for releasing it and I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with it in the future.

Thank you for your suggestion.
1.You can choose Averaging method it's have normal image quality and fast.
And you found a bug I'll fix it soon.
2.Automatically switching screen orientation will be add in future. You found another bug I'll fix it soon.
3.I don't have plan to add long-press action currently.
4.Because this app is use native c++ library(libpng,libjpeg etc.) to handle image&archive files so will be a little bigger
Can you make the app show thumbnail's of the jpg/png (not the comic book files)? This way, I can finally get rid of the android gallery app. I will gladly donate if this feature can be done.

fantastic app!
lol, i think i've been using this more than any other as of late.
just wish it would render a little faster on anything other than 'averaging' and 'nearest-neighbor' as the quality of the others are much better, but don't think there's much you can do about that.
again, awesome!
Hello,
I apologize in advance because English is not my native language.
I try to use your program in a tablet, SmartQ V7, with these features:
Android 2.1
600MHz ARM11 CPU
Memory 256MB DDR II RAM
Virtual Cache 128MB
The problem is that when you open the comic book closes automatically.
I tried the following:
Close all aplicaiones to free memory, free memory getting about 80 MB,
Turn off cache in settings
I would love to test your application as it is highly recommended.
Thank you very much

Version 1.2 is a great improvement, the new UI is very smooth and has a profesional feel to it.
Still, there's one minor annoyance that's fairly easy to fix and will greatly improve my experience with your comic viewer. I like the slide command where instead changing the page, the screen slides down the page until it reaches the bottom, then changes the page. What I find annoying however is that the distance the screen slides is not configurable. It would be great if we can change the screen slide distance. The slide distance can be a value that chan be changed with a slider, or presets based on fractions of the page height, i.e. 1/5, 1/4, 1/3, and 1/2.
Thanks a lot.
I have Android as the operating system in my tablet (10" Eken M006). Before knowing Perfect Viewer, I would prefer my images in PDF, despite some problems, but now I have changed my mind. Your application has some interesting qualities (that Documents-To-Go lacks when opening PDF files):
1. It fits the image no matter the size of the previous one.
2. It remembers last viewed page.
3. The page does not rotate automatically, what is a bless. I suffer a lot when the page rotates by itself. It would be great if you added a "page rotating" function.
Page orientation is not the problem. I read many Western reading books, and pressing the screen on the left or the right side is indifferent.
The application will be even better if it could open other image formats, like GIF and BMP. If you could include PDF files, it would end up simply perfect.
Thanks a lot for the great job.

Would like the ability to "mark as read" by long pressing a group/entry. Other than that it looks nice, good work so far

I'm planning to implement such feature. (Also, give a possibility to mark as read "on server". sometimes is usefull, I think)
So, I think it will be available in the mid of the next week if you are interested.

Now for me the first priority is auto sync and sync of pictures, but after that I'll surely implement a widget (but, maybe in pro version).
What do you like to include in such widget? A list of articles (for selected feed, category) or texts?
Thank you both for the feedback!

Thank you for your job, it's a great lightweight app!
I use it as my everyday reader for 1 week, so far so good.
I'll wait for the auto sync but actually I don't really need it!
Thank you very much
Thank you very much for your response.
I'll try to make it even better!
Here is the new version with auto sync!
1.0.beta3 was not very stable.
So, check out quick fix!
1.0.rc1 is much more stable now.
Also, you can just download JustReader from Android Market!
Hi everybody!
I've just implemented downloading of the images (view images offline). Do you want to try it?
If so, check out this version!
It's not very stable, but you can try and write here what you think.
It can be switched on in account preferences screen.
Next things I would like to implement are:
- possibility to stop synchronization process
- show synchronization status in notification bar
hello!

- possibility to stop sync process
Check it out!
Also, I'm planning to release paid market version and to cut a little bit free version, also I'll try to add advertisment on the main acitivity of the application.
Everyone here, If you want, you can send me emails or private messages and I'll send you unlock code.
So, come back here when pro version is out. First 100 will get unlock code.
Also, a big job must be done to make the release really stable.
Thank you all again!
What about Google Reader by Google?
What do you think about new Google Reader for Android released by Google?
Do you think they will implement full offline support?
Do you like this new app? Why?
Just downloaded market version, and a few quick thoughts (I'll have more later)
Sync settings:
Maximal age of the post should be Maximum
you list a bunch of numbers in that catergory. I'm assuming they are days, but weeks would also be a possibility. If you could put 1 (unit), 2 (unit), that'd be great.
Main feed page:
I use folders a LOT in google reader. Usually, I browse by the whole folder at once, rather than the individual source (example, I might have android police, Android Central, and XDA portal for android all in one folder). However, in this app, I can only view by individual feed. If you can place an option under the folder menu to view all at once, that'd be great! By this I mean, I might be viewing an Android central story, but the next story might be XDA portal.
Edit: Just found if you tap the numbers it does this. If you can make that a menu option, that'd be great. I only found it by accident.
Overall:
You have a setting for article screen theme. Any way you can make that universal throughout the app? I like black text on white. However, everything but the article is still white text on black.
Make it so that articles that are read in app are read everywhere.
That's all for now. Looks really good so far. Love the swipe to go to next page option. Google official reader needed that. For what I think of googles reader app, I really like it. Nice UI, but no offline caching.

Hi!
Thank you very much for some suggestions!
What do you mean by phrase on top of this post?
Statuses are saved to Google servers each time you synchronize account.
You mean "instantly"? Right when you are reading?

I think a widget would be a great idea. I see you are planning to add it in the future and you were asking what to be included. I think the best way to do the widget would be to display "all items" that would link to your app when clicked. I also would like to see a mark all as read on the widget too if that can be done.
I'll implement widget for sure, but a little bit later. Now the main priority is stability.
Now, you can try one more beta version:
better offline support
bugfixes
some synchronization performance improvements

WebLiveWallpaper: Set content (galleries/animations/sites/cams from the web or local files/folders) as Live Wallpaper, live widget or as picture frame.
Create your personal show, create your own (animated) wallpaper with JavaScript!
Original first post:
I wrote my first live wallpaper today because I did not find something like it and thought it should not be too difficult to do. So here it is. I always wanted a real live wallpaper displaying something from the web instead of just a picture or offline animation. For me it is really useful because I can keep an eye on my favourite webcam over the day and decide to go there if the conditions stay or improve. A lot of other use cases should be possible ...
There is now also a picture frame app and a live widget included (also running on devices without live wallpaper support).

Noone else thinking this is a great idea?
This enables you to get an automated cycling flickr-Wallpaper, the National Geographic Pic of the Day automatically on your homescreen. Or the latest News-Picture, or your wallpapers from many image galleries. And of course webcams ... and so on. I think this freedom and possibilities is what makes Android so great!
New version with asynchronous loading, much improved website parsing. Still a lot to do (performance, widget, website redirects supported, better organisation of links and settings, ...) and so little time. But I really think this one has to appeal to some more people than just on a few sports-forums I read/post where people enjoy watching webcams!?!

I'll def give this a try!
this is awesome! thank you..
This seems a brilliant yet simple idea and seems to be well done. I will give this a try but its not realy for me as i dont have a data plan and only really use my wifi at home to connect so the updates on the pic would not be frequent enough.....maybe one day I will treat myself.
Thanks for your hard work
Def. bookmarked for later use. Very good idea.
New version 0.84 with optimizations and better gallery support
Loading is faster now (and you can enable a progress bar if you are curious/need to know).
I also added an option to dig into picture galleries (load the large version of the image which looks much better as a wallpaper on highres phones).
For the next update I am working on cycling the gallery pictures instead of using the most recent "best" one so there will be even more Live for more 'static' webpages.
New apk attached to first post!
Awesome. Thanks!
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Version 0.9
Has a lot of changes (hopefully good ones) with the loading and gallery stuff and a LOT of options to set everything fine.
For example WIFI exclusive updating has been added! Also the quick selections have presets now to explain useful settings for your sites ...
Still a lot to do. Next will be password protected webcam/server access.
0.9.1 fixes some things
no more default WIFI-only enabled (red screen if mobile at first start)
fixes of parameters for some quick selection items
no more crashes with wrong/incomplete URLs entered by hand
0.91 ... watch xdadevelopers (or other website) live on your homescreen background
See last screenshot attached to first post It's a hack (web snapshot) I may regret/have to replace by something else later and not fast. But should be ok for a lot of use cases.
And a lot of more serious updates like a sorted settings menu, access to standard password protected servers/cams, better gallery updating with long refresh times.
Edit: v0.91.1 can now be opened after install/in market for all those people not knowing what a wallpaper is!
Taking a look at this on my sgs!!
Dev, you should have more confidence in patience, it's a great idea ;-). I typically wait until things hit the RSS, so I'm sure you'll see a little spike since it just came up in the past 20 minutes.
Good luck! I do have a question, have you judged the battery life impact? I did see the custom refresh rate option, but still I am curious to see what impact it had on both your idle and active battery life stats if you update as often as a regular widget since it'll probably download more data.
Suggestions: Be able to set up a schedule
Preferably with different settings for different days. For instance, M-F have it set to use pic of the day with an update every 24 hours, then on weekends have it set up to show a web/weathercam every 15 mins.
Also, being able to set it, instead of every X seconds, being able to set it to update maybe 3x on M-F would help out in a few cases. Example, to see a traffic or weather cam just before going to/from work.
Good luck, I look forward to seeing what you do with it, I'll let you know my findings.

all i can say is AMAZING
and also FOOTBALL scores as my live wallpaper FTW
come on you POOL!
Very nice. Works pretty well.
It would be real nice if you could get the picture to use the whole screen. Not sure if you are constrained by the site of course but I want to use this on my Archos 101 and it has a 1024X600 resolution so I get a lot of black bars.
Thank you for making this available.
Good idea.
How is on battery life though?
Very interested to see where this goes. Great idea IMHO. Subscribed.
Nice work.
Nice work. While trying this out, I ran across an issue. I accidentally the refresh time. If you enter nothing for the refresh time, it will force close (v0.91.2).
Great idea
Think of busy parents whose kids are in a daycare with kiddie cameras...live feed of your baby !
Awesome app. Ive bben wanting something like this for a while. Maybe could add some battery saving settings. thank you !!!!!!!
META WIDGET
Meta is a unique app that can turn virtually any online content into dynamic, interactive widgets.
Simply browse to a website, pick a column of text, link or image and enjoy this information right on your home screen!
Why is this cool you ask? Because almost anything can be parsed out of a website - images, blogrolls, RSS feeds or entire windows.
Any widget created through Meta can be customized and automatically updated, or updated on user interaction.
Features
★ Create widgets from almost any website element
★ Parse graphs and images
★ Extract statistics and information from authorized sites
★ Configure widgets (background, alignment, etc.)
★ Automatic updates
★ User defined click actions
★ Lots of other cool stuff
Status
The app is currently quite stable, but we still prefer to call it a beta. So please, do write to us with suggestions or bug reports!
Play Store
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fahrbot.apps.metawidget
The free app has everything but automatic updates.
Screens
I would appreciate some feedback please!
1.0.2.1
Fixed keyboard issue present on some phones
Fixed image cache optimization (much faster now)
Fixed a rendering issue that occurs if data connection is lost
Fixed a few device-specific issues from user feedback
Hi guys - please give me some feedback on the latest release!
Installing this now, will give feedback after 2-3 days
Thank you, i look forward to it. The more feedback, the better the app. Imagine - a developer that actually listens to consumers!
1.0.2.2
Fixed alignment issue on text and lists
Fixed sort order issue in list view
Added divider visibility toggle
Optimized custom browser rendering
Minor UI changes to increase compatibility
Good job !!
Hey,
I had this (huge, at least for me review written, then at the end hit backspace and freakin firefox took me a page back. WTF Firefox, I could kill you for that.
Anyway, so here is the short version:
Love your amazing design, with one exception of the settings menu (where you can choose the titel and all that)
I could not quite work out the difference between the up-down arrows and the left-right arrows
I did not understand the option to display as a list. I just didn't understand what it does
The text size didn't always work properly, sometimes when I would choose a bigger text size, it would actually be smaller
Everytime I had the widget done, I always had to manually resize it, but I guess that was because of sense
The widget itself was always just one big text and not nicely organized the news thread on the webpage, so the widget itself was kind of useless to me
One more tip; if you had chosen more than one element (e.g. an entire news thread), that it then should just open the single element, not the entire website with all the elements
Again great work guys!
The two websites I tried it with:
apktops
manga-access
Not sure what your problem with the menu is... its just like any other android menu.
Regarding the arrows - they will work better or borse, it all depends on the content.
"Use all as list" - this will use all the items listed below in list form, instead of just the element you clicked on.
Havent seen any problems with text size from anyone else, so most likely user error there, or some sort of parsing issue on the sites themselves.
We will make a bunch of sizes in the next release.
Lol.
Not going to happen.
Anything to report?

Been using Meta Widget to display headlines from sites for a while. Not much to complain because it does what I want it to do. Only thing I would like toe see is the option to make the widget title bold or underlined.
Great app!
It shall be done. There will also be a minor release in preparation for the widget constructor we will release next week.

IMPORTANT: after an update, be sure to turn on the app, as Play Store turs it off!
Do you hate when iPhoto won't show the pictures you shot with your Android device, but it works fine with your friend's HTC Sense device? Why is that?!?
That's simply because Google's camera does not comply with the DCIM standard, used by every other Digital Camera in the world (HTC Sense does it!) and properly recognized by iPhoto.
With this app, your Android device will be able to comply and iPhoto will display and import your pictures.
FEATURES:
- Hassle free "Configure once and forget forever!"
- Works with any picture taking app, not just the stock Android Camera!
- "Automagic" background moving of newly taken shots into the proper folder. No need to open the app each time you connect to iPhoto.
- Fully DCIM compliant and fully Android MediaServer compliant (pictures will not vanish from the Gallery).
- If you don't feel like moving, you can select to copy the pictures (but don't forget to check your free space!)
- ON/OFF switch to quickly enable or disable the app.
- Supported picture format: JPG, JPEG, PNG.
- Supported movie format: 3GP, M4A, M4V, MOV.
- Supports Windows, Linux and Mac OS X hosts (don't worry about Thumbds.db, ._IMG0001.jpg files and so on!)
ADVANCED FEATURES (which require a once-in-a-lifetime donation):
- Multiple folder monitoring: if you use Third Party apps (Camera MS, ICS Camera, ...) you can move/copy their pictures as well! Just add their folder to the monitored list.
For more information about the DCIM standard: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_rule_for_Camera_File_system
DOWNLOADS
The app is available for free on Google Play Store.

Cool! Will install as soon as it's up.
Also, is there any way to transform photos that are already taken (on HTC One X but using CM10) so that they conform to the standards?

If you have a lot of pictures it will take some time (and you may get the "App is not responding" message), just give it some time and it will complete its job. In future releases I'll make it so you won't get the "App is not responding" message but I felt it was useless to delay the app further for such a silly "feature".
If you like the app, rate it please.
If you need help, post here.
Gonna try as soon as I can

Yes, MP4 support will be added in 1.1, coming tonight (GMT+2).
New features:
- Support for MP4 files
- Homescreen widget to quickly turn service ON/OFF and quickly know if it's been turned off by Play Store after an update
2012-08-28 - 1.1
- Added support for MP4 movies.
- Added Homescreen Widget to quickly toggle the app ON/OFF (1x1, 2x1) and display the current number of pictures and movies processed by the app (2x1 only).
I hope you'll like the widgets, the icon should be self explanatory. The number (only available in the 2x1 widget, so people can have a toggle-only-widget) is the count of pictures and movies that the app moved. So you can keep an eye on it increasing when you shoot a picture!
I tried them on a HDPI (HTC Desire Z) and a LDPI (Samsung Galaxy Mini) devices. They should look fine on other screen sizes as well, both portrait and landscape. :fingers-crossed:
hi hrk,
just wanna ask..
sorry for being noob :silly:..
what is the benefit actually by using it on Galaxy mini??
and what is iPhoto??
If you deal with a lot of photos, then this app helps if your phone doesn't sort the photos according to the DCIM standard. I don't own any Samsung devices, so no idea how they arrange the folders, directories, name, etc.
iPhoto is a photo editing software for Mac and iOS.
Btw, I've helped translated the program to Malay. Had a lot of fun too. Thankies~

Put the widget in your homescreen and check its status (grey = off, white + light = on).
I am using it on your same device and rom.

Ok, finally work after restart my device.
Weird, but i dont see the widget on the list previously.
Is the a2sd script is the cause?

I haven't used instagram, so I wouln't know. If you help me understand what is not working, I can try and fix it. Did you put instagram folder in the watched directories? What happens when you take a picture with instagram?
