Can someone post the ebook app?

Looking for the apk. I'm hoping it'll install on a Galaxy S phone as well as the email app did. Looking at a video, the ebook app that Samsung put together is rock solid on the reading front, and you can import books too? Pretty much every other ebook app I've seen fails at one or the other.

Its on the market, called ebooks by kobo. Also, its not exactly spectacular.

hi,
you can get the ebook app from this post

No I don't think he means the Kobo one.Kobo is the reader included in the reader hub, which should be different to the other one ebooks app that actually looks like the iPad version and that is great.Let me check if I can find in the filesystem and I'll post it

I was anxiously waiting that too, but was sorely disappointed. Ok, it looks cool and the page transition effects are nice.. but BOY is it slow!! It takes ABOUT 3-4 times longer to load the same book in the "eBook" app than it does in Aldiko. The eBook app also hangs and FCs once in awhile, which Aldiko has never done to me.
I heartily recommend you'd try Aldiko rather than get pissed off at that eBook app. Aldiko handles importing really well (except the stupid notifications, but what ever) and is a treat to use. No fancy effects, just sliding pages, but when I'm reading I'd rather read than watch lagging page-transition effects. That may just be me, though.

So you are saying that wait 5 sec is too much? I never had a FC with ebook app but I had with Aldiko jumping between chapters (depending on how the chapters structure was made).

No. I am saying that waiting for 40-60 sec to open a book is frustrating when you want to read. Aldiko opens the same book in roughly 10-15 secs. Also the Tab's eBook app seems to someone lag entirely too much when drawing the transition animations.

Hmm.that might be it.. I'm opening a book with about 700 pages with smaller font size...
Anyways, I like to use Aldiko more because that's faster and the animations lag on the eBook app.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using Tapatalk

Well, so far no go. Won't install, either with a package manager, or dumping the apk/odex into /system/app. Anyone know how I might try and deodex this? My current rom is deodexed. Maybe that will help?
Also, I use aldiko right now, but I'm a sucker for the fancy effects, at least if done right. The nook app did them excellently, but cannot import well to save it's life.

Hi All,
I just bought Galaxy tab and I am loving tab eBook app, not just because of animations but because of few important features like dictionary which is not available in Readers Hub Kobo.
One quick question- How can I purchase and import books in Tab ebook App. There is no download/buy button.
I have downloaded few books in kobo but I would like to open them in Tab's eBook app. Please help how can I do that.

Hi guys i see some of you like samsung ebook reader, i love it to and im looking for solution to install this apk on SGS II.
Here is the ebook.apk
enjoy

I love also the first one.
On Ics does not work, i tried so many times.

You can not only read, can also left the world behind.

Zinio & PressDisplay for Android from Galaxy Tab

Zinio, PressDisplay, and Readershub extracted from most recent version of Galaxy Tab ROM (JMA). (Actually the readershub was extracted from JK5). Zinio is not beta anymore.
works fine in Nexus One. Now the zinio preview shows the entire page, and allows work in landscape (but crashes often in landscape, works perfectly in portait).

Zinio Does not seem to work on Droid X, any suggestions?
It installs "succesfully" but doesnt add to app drawer, go to app manager and click launch, it returns error message "Activity not found - com.zinio.samsung.android"
EDIT: Figured it out, have to install readers hub, and luanch it, then click magazines to launch zinio!
-Thanks!
-M

Works great, just finished a magazine with no issues
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk

What about the ebook reader included in the readershub can`t u rip it as well?
Works great on Desire Cyanogen mod 6.1.0 so far.

Thanks for posting - can you get magazines full screen on your device? I can not on my Tab (as others have posted elsewhere) I have to zoom in slightly to get the image. Not really usable this way, as you then need to zoom out to change pages.

What do this apps do?

Only annoying thing is that Zinio doesn't multitask. If u leave the app and try to return to it, you gotta reload the magazine you were reading.

thanks for posting the apks here. worked flawlessly on HTC DZ

Hi, i have a big question: will this work on one of those crappy chinese tablets for like 100/200 bucks? I really want this app to read my skateboarding and surf subscriptions. but i dont need an expensive tablet..
soooo.... would this work on a 10 inch tablet that has 2.2?
Please say yes!

Works on Dell Streak.
PressDisplay doesnt work too well in portrait mode as the page overlapping each other. but in landscape it work fine... anyway to solve this issue?

Thanks for posting this. I have been using Zinio on my Viewsonic G Tablet for a few weeks now and am loving it. It works fine in landscape or portrait mode for me. It shows all of my subscriptions except for one which is an "interactive" magazine.
I have sent Zinio support an email about it as all of their FAQs are telling me to uninstall and install the latest version of the reader. Hopefully they will turn me on to a newer apk.

Zinio/The Reader's Hub was one of the primary reasons that I bought my Galaxy Tab, and finally it's here and working as expected.

The press reader portion of the apps don't work. I can't create an account and the online store simply returns a "Can not connect to server"

Thank you lots!!!!
Finally I can read my zinio magazines in my SGS... not perfect but it works... remember to install the three files. Access to Zinio is through Reader's Hub under magazine...
Enjoy
Samsung Galaxy S

Works great on the Adam
This is exactly what I have been looking for. I have installed it on the Notion Ink Adam and it works without any issues.
Any idea if we can change the Zinio download folder (to say a SD card or a USB drive)?
Thanks,
Richard

Hi
I had it partially working on my Archos 101 - worked fully in portrait but only text mode in landscape.
A couple of days ago I got the same non supported pop up with no way to upgrade.
Contacted support and a few hours later it was working again.

Google Music Player v3.0.1 For Galaxy Tab

Don't forget to change the permission.

You can download equalizer app or widget. I suggest you download from the Market the free app, EQUALIZER WIDGET. Just search it from the Android Market and you'll never regret it. Your tab will give all the bass and treble you need

i wanna go back 2 normal music player

For those outside the USA who want to try the google music streaming beta, just configure your browser using a USA proxy such as one of those found here, then go to the google invite page here and request an invite. I registered earlier today and got my invite within a few hours. All working fine here in the UK .

invite is not a problem
Sure, getting the invite was not a problem..
Installing the application through music.google.com is. When i click the link that sends me to market.android.com, and click the install-button it says that the application cannot be installed in my country.

Settings?
EDIT:
So turns out I'm dumb. After I got my Google Music invite, I can get to settings and all that. Thanks for posting the app!
----------
Hey all, so maybe I'm just having an off day, but I don't see anywhere to adjust the settings for this app. It installed perfectly and I renamed and overwrote the MusicPlayer.apk in my system folder.
Is there a settings menu in this app? Am I just taking crazy pills?

i know it's been a month since your post, but maybe this will help others in the future.
If you installed this simply by running the apk then it should have installed alongside your stock player. In this case all you have to do is search for the original Music Player under Applications to use it, and delete the new player with something like Titanium Backup.
If you installed this by overwriting the stock player, then install the MusicPlayer apk that i have provided below. But again, this will install alongside which ever player you have installed.
Hope this helps
EDIT: The music player provided is the stock player that originally comes with SGT roms

Thanks for the post.

comixology

Does comixology work for anyone anymore? i'm trying to figure out if it's something they did or the new roms or just mg tab. It used to work for me but recently tried using it again and all it does us FC immediately. I've flashed all Roms to no avail. If it still workx for you can you post what rom you are on?

I just checked for you. I'm running revolver and get no FC.

I've gone from prime 1.9 (not working) to Revolver 3.5 (still not working)

Comixology works fine for me. Running Revolver 3.5.2.

Yeah, I'm pretty ocd about my app updates. I'm on version 1.0.2. Downloaded and read a comic on it right now, no problems.

thats very odd. im on revolver 3.5.2 but have the same issue with prime and clems. odd that the beta works, oh well i dont really like reading with the app so im just gonna continue converting to cbr and reading with komic reader

Mystery solved! it's the new market combined with the google checkout feature comixology added. I uninstalled new market and now comixology works perfectly.

Paid Free Comics?
Is there anyway to read the paid comics in comixolog? Like paste the data in sd card and be able to read in the app or something?
Thanks...

I don't understand your question. I either buy the comic in their app or on their website (using either chrome on my tablet or any browser on my laptop). I of course use the same account for both. I can read my purchased comics either through the web browser app or the comixology app. I can even use the web browser app with chrome on my tablet since I tried that just to see if I could. I much prefer their app on my tablet. The guided view technology as they call it for reading panel by panel works well even on my HTC Evo View 7” tablet although it's much nicer on the Transformer's large 10” screen.
If you are asking how to read some other comics with their app the answer is that you can't. It is only for reading their comics.

[APP] [+4.0] Whatsapp Web (Tablet/Phablet)

WHATSAPP WEB
HI everyone! I bet that a lot of us have a smartphone and a tablet, maybe for work, for gaming, or maybe just to have a better experience with a large screen device. it depends. Everyone also has Whatsapp to get in touch with friends on their phone, but i know that a lot of people wanted to use it also on tablets. For those who already tried it, i know too, there's a way to make it work and it's called "Chrome". In Chrome you can use "Request as a Desktop Site" to reach your goal but..who would like to have always open a browser that consumes RAM and battery? No one i guess. So i decided to make an app that let you Whatsapp Web on your Tablet/Phablet without the need of using a browser. Obviously it consumes less resources and it's battery friendly. Very simple.
1) Install the app
2) Open it
3) Scan the QR code with your smartphone
4) Have fun!
**PAY ATTENTION**
THE APP HAS BEEN TESTED WITH A COUPLE OF TABLETS SUCH AS GALAXY TAB S2, GALAXY TAB 3, GALAXY TB S. IT HAS BEEN ALSO TESTED WITH SOME SMARTPHONES (for testing purpose only) SUCH AS GALAXY CORE 2, GALAXY A3, GALAXY A5, LG SPIRIT 4G. WORKED FINE WITH ALL OF THEM. IF YOU CANNOT USE WHATSAPP WEB, PROBABLY THERE WILL BE AN USER AGENT PROBLEM. JUST LET ME KNOW AND I'LL TRY TO FIX.
**NOTE**
The app uses whatsapp name's and icon just because i'm not planning to upload it on Playstore. It was an app for myself that i decided to share here with you, so maybe it can be useful for someone else. Obviously i'm not affiliated with Whatsapp Inc. and all rights belongs to their respective owners.
Here some screenshot captured on my Galaxy Tab S2:
Screen 1
Screen 2
Screen 3
And here's the apk package that obviously can be downloaded by everyone:

It's simple, user cannot use whatsapp without a verification and cannot use one account on multiple devices. If you go on your pc to this website "web.whatsapp.com" you'll see the qr code to be scanned. This step is necessary and allows the connection between your phone and whatsapp web. Unfortunately this cannot be avoided. This app "wraps" the desktop site of whatsapp web and allows users with a tablet without 4g to use it on their devices without the need of a Pc and, obviously on the go. If you want to learn more, please go here. Hope it helps

The app is designed for tablet and phablet devices because it works best in landscape mode (on big screens). However it seems to be a webview problem. Unfortunately it's not an app bug, so i don't know if i can make something to workaround this issue. I'll try

When I hit the Back-Button, the thin dark green line in the top area flashes shortly. So pushing button seems to be recognized, but nothing happens.

Hello! Just quit the app by deleting it from "recents". Actually there isn't a "back to exit" option, but i'm looking into it. Thanks for using WW

I love this app, thank you for sharing.
Works well on my Tab S2. I have a small problem though, sending/attaching photos does not work. I tap the paperclip icon then tap 'Photos and Videos', I can choose a photo from any source yet it does not do anything after that.
There is another similar app on the market called WhatsTablet where photo sending does work, but your app starts faster and looks better!

Hi, long time ago i purchased from codecanyon a template app called web2app (because i was new to android developement) . Unfortunately the twmplate wasn't showing pages in "Desktop" view, and i needed it for that. So i spent a few hours to learn and modify the code to make it work and show correctly desktop sites. After that i customized a little the UI. Actually i changed pc and haven't a backup of the code of the app...but if you're interested in, you can take a look here:
