Readers Hub 12/06/10

i know theres other threads out there with readers hub
but none thats fully functional
this was ripped out of the jm6 fw that was just released last week
i pulled it off my own tab
just install all apks and all should work
you might have to put them in your system app folders then restart
see post 2 for zinio apk
Please let me know your results

heres zinio apk

Awesome. Thanks alot. I have a north american tab so these apps were not included. I hav ed actually found aldiko and nook to be great reader apps, especially since you can import epub files. I tried to replace my gallery app with another that was supposed to display as higher resolution images, which it does but also force closes often. Any chance you can upload the stock gallery 3d apk?

I tried to install the ReadersHub.apk, no dice :-(

put in in your system apps folder and reboot

I installed this and can get zinio working to where the magazine subscriptions are present, but there are no pictures. I installed it about two weeks ago. Do you know how old this Apk is? I'd love to get it to work.

I'm EXTREMELY new at this apparently, when you say system apps folder, which one is that? I tried to put it into the Root folder but I cannot get it to work.

i think you want to use root explorer or adb to put apk in /system/apps/ folder.

Zinio still doesn't show the page pictures unless you pinch to zoom for any magazines after August 2010. Does anyone know why this is or if there is a fix in the works? Cannot get any info from zinio directly.

ok you need to be rooted and have busy box install to be able to write to system
once you have above done open up estrongs/or root explorer find the app your trying to install copy it and paste it into system / apps folder then reboot

I still can't get the Reader's Hub file to install or show up in the apps list after rebooting. I've spent hours trying to get this work and no dice.

Wonder if the problems with Zinio can be remedied by changing our screen density settings? Just a thought, may be way off here.

Copied with Root explorer and rebooted. Still doesn't show up as installed. Is there supposed be a .odex file to go with it?

Don't know why this is right off jm6

Max, if you have Titanium backup, can you take a backup of Readerhub and post the backup file?

[Huawei U8150 IDEOS] Activating Gallery scroll with finger

EDIT - WARNING: That mod has a side effect, gallery will crash when setting a photo as wallpaper
Hi all, I don't know if it's the right place to leave my experiment result...
I've managed to bring back the touch scroll for photos in my Ideos (I don't know why Huawei blocked it)....there's no transition (i'm new to android sorry, so I don't know if there was one in old 2D gallery)
Requirements:
Rooted device (z4root works nice)
Root Explorer
Copy on your sd root this Gallery.apk
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7593732&postcount=5
with root explorer:
- Backup your original Gallery to your SD card (it's better you do a backup folder)
/system/apps/Gallery.apk
/system/apps/Gallery.adex
-Delete them from the original folder (/system/apps/)
-Go to your sd root (with root explorer), launch Gallery.apk and install (force the system file upgrade)
Finished.... now you can scroll your photos as usual with your finger

Thnx.. will give it a try

I have installed it and it's working great!

[Q] Delete Instant Upload folder in gallery

I have an Samsung Galaxy S2 running Android 2.33. I put on Google+ app and that was a mistake. It created a folder in my gallery called Instant Upload [with 70 pictures]. I would really like to delete the folder but I am not able and I don't know where the folder is kept. I tried searching with windows explorer and couldn't find the pictures or where the folder is on my phone. I went to Google+ site on my pc and erased the pictures there but still can't erase on my phone. Please help.

Even i also have the same problem, i am not able to delete instant upload folder as well as profile photos folder too from my SGS2 mobile. I tried to delete all the apps and cleared all the memory from my SD card. The problem is i can delete both the folders but again when i open my gallery it ll show the deleted files again. So please help.

hi builder,
finally i found the solution for this, it sounds wired but it ll work 100%.
just follow the following steps, and before doing this i recommend u to take backup of all the data from your phone.
settings>privacy>factory data reset>check (format usb storage)>reset phone.
hope this will help you.

Thanks. It worked but it was a major pain. Google should have made it easier to get rid of. It is like using a bomb to get rid of a fly.

[Q] Deleted wrong file & titanium back up issue

I have an Alcatel OT 918A (gingerbread 2.3.6, kernel version 2.6.35.7) that I just rooted, but unfortunately while trying to remove bloatware I accidentally deleted the live wallpaper launcher & now I can't open the live wallpaper gallery. help anyone?
Also in trying to remove the bloatware from the phone I keep gettin the message "cannot remove system app. failed to locate the apk file." Is there anyway to get around this?

search google for the name of the app you deleted (eg. livewallpaper.apk or whatever it was called)
and use root explorer/root browser lite or any other root file manager, go to system/app, mount as r/w (in top right corner) and long press the app you wish to delete

I'm searching for the app i deleted now

ok so i found a livewallpaperpicker.apk online but even after copying it to the system/app folder & changing the permissions it still wont work. help?

glad to be of help
maybe the livewallpaper picker varies by different devices, what phone do you have and what rom are you using? i assume stock (one that came with phone) as you just rooted

[Q] Settings-->Themes

There is this option called Themes in the settings menu. consider me a complete newbie and tell me how that works(Like does it help in changing themes if so how do I do it).

There is no option called themes on the stock Rom. What are you running?

A custom ROM dev may choose to add the new CM theme engine to his/her ROM. If you were to install a theme (via Play Store or .apk from XDA, NOT themes that you flash or where you modify files) you use the theme manager to use the theme.

You deleted a symlink that linked to your internal storage, thus it deleted everything. You can't see the symlink in a file explorer while in Android but while connected to a PC, you can.

wow never expected it to be so complicated. Does this symbolic link show up only in custom rom's, if no then normal users like myself would probably mistake it for an empty folder and delete it.
Thanks for the explanation.

It exists in any ROM. You shouldn't delete anything if you don't know what it is.
