[Q] Zinio Issues

Got Zinio working on the Galaxy tab and downloaded the latest issue of Rolling Stone. I can read the mag in text mode but the full visual mode is showing blank screens. Anyone else having this issue?

I don't know about this particular issue, but it seems that the content being pushed to the Android Zinio client is not the same as the one available online. There is a clear disclaimer in the apps' FAQ about Zinio content currently being converted to meet the requirements of the phone app. That's why there are books and magazines missing in my Android library, compared to what I can read online or using the desktop application.

How did you get Zinio working? I can't find an APK for it anywhere...

How do you get it in Text mode? I did find that double-tapping the blank screen, or using two fingers to stretch to "zoom in" will reveal the image properly. Just a little zoomed in. Still a hassle.

When you tap the screen you will see a box on the bottom of the screen with straight white lines. Click on that, it will change to text mode.

Can someone post the zinio app I seem to have messed mine up
edit got it working

Would anyone mind posting a link to a working APK please? Tried the one from here but Zinio freezes on downloading the mag. Read that there is a new version that Zinio pushed right after the Tab release but can't find it for the life of me.
Thanks in advance.

Seems that that's the one you are searching for Zinio

i get the same thing, when you zoom in...even a little it shows the magazine in its full glory...
still its useless if you cant keep swiping to see the screen and you haev to pinch to zoom in a little for the magazine to show...pretty disappointing.
I wanted to use my tab a lot for this and the Ipad one works fine...kind of a deal breaker

Same here. ! I think we all confused !! Why Zinio is not showing up on US first but in others country. I thought Zinio is biggest US online megazine. @@ !!

*BUMP*
Has anyone gotten this to work on the Tab properly? - i.e. full screen

If you have the Beta version I was having same problem. Found the full version of Readers Hub here somewhere pulled from the latest JMA firmware I believe. The problem I am having is that the region seems to be set to where ever this Hub was pulled from dont have access to all us magazines in Zinio. Works fine for Press Reader and Kobo but no go on Zinio.
Anyone know how to hcnage region on Zinio?

Here are the files I used. Still can not change region. Any ideas?

Are you able to get full screen magazine images? Even with the apk you linked to, I canonly see the image if I zoom in.

Js4tda, Thanks Man. Copied this over to the /system/app. Fixed the Zinio issues. I can now flip pages from the image view and don't have to do the zoom out thing any more.

All I did was rename the Readerhub and Zinio .apk to .bak in /system/app. Then copied over the new apk's and set permissions.

Thanks for the help. I needed to uninstall all the old versions then install the ones posted by js4tda.

Thank you so much! I've finally got all three programs of the Readers Hub working as intended!
I am on the US T-Mo Tab and just uninstalled old versions and installed the new files from this post.

[Q] Wallpaper wizardrii problem

Does anyone else use this app and experience a problem where after a while half of the wallpaper goes black? It seems to be something to do with the orientation because it's as if it thinks it's in portrait so it cuts part of the wallpaper off. Switching the tablet's orientation to portrait and back temporarily fixes it.
Not sure if it's an app bug, honeycomb or just my tablet.. haven't seen anyone else mention it :S

No it is not your tablet, I had the same problem with my xoom. Are you using another program like HD wallpapers to set wallpapers? If so, this is your problem. What you have to do is download the wallpaper you want then use ww to set it. Hope this helps.

Ah ok thanks! Was using ww to set it to no scroll and then was using gallery to set the wallpaper. Have done it with ww now so should be all good.

I'll have to give that a try. I had stopped using the program because of this issue, but scrolling is SO much smoother with wallpaper scrolling disabled. Thanks!

Hmm.. thought it had solved the problem but it still happened. Have sent an email to the developer so hopefully will get a response

Cannot say thanks enough for the WW app!!!! I was about to go postal trying to change all of my sizes for wallpapers! Nothing worked and it all looked crappy. WW to the rescue! Thanks a ton!

And now I have the dreaded "black bar!!!" Jeezus these android devices are kilin me here! Why is this so damn difficult...

Forgot to post response from dev the other day, seems to be a problem with android not the app:
Hello James,
Thank you for taking the time to contact Twisted Apps. I really appreciate the information and hopefully I can explain the issue.
The black screen is not due to Honeycomb, but instead due to an Android API bug. I have noticed the error myself and I have only created a work around for it within the app. I have tried posting the issue to Android forums, but I haven't received a goodresponse as of yet. The problem happens more redly with devices that rotate because WW has to set the display demensionseach time the display isrotated. It isduring this Android API call that the screen goes back. The Wallpaper is still set, but nothing shows. Otherthan rotating the display, I have also created a Fix menu options. Select Menu->Fix and it attempts to resetyour current wallpaper. I personally have only noticed the error a few times with a few otherrandompeople mentioning it happening seldom. You are the first person to indicate it being more often then not. I amreally sorryit is causing issues for you.
Not the best solution, but here is a work around. Use WW to set your wallpaper as Scroll, and then if you want to set your screen to No Scroll use a home app such as Launcher Pro. When a home app normally sets the display to No scroll it doesn't keep reseting the display dimensions upon rotation. To get the Exact Setting with Scroll you will need to set the Wallpaper as Exact and then select menu->Scroll. Menu->Scroll will keep the current set wallpaper, but change it from No Scroll to Scroll. As a note most people like WW because of the No Scroll option, but WW also automatically resizes the images withouthavingto do special modifications to the image.
Twisted Apps is my startup with WW being the firstapp. I have anotherfull time occupation,but I willlook into this issue in the next couple of weeks to see if I can find a more permanent solution. Again,I sincerely appreciate you using WW and your time to e-mail me.
I hope you can be patient while I find a solution.
Sincerely,
--Russell T Mackler [email protected]

Anyone else suffering from the update? Liked the extra additions but now it's as limited as stock launcher when it comes to screen real estate.Hopefully this can be fixed asap. I've contacted anderwebs and received no response. I wish I can roll back but now I'm gonna just have to wait it out. No more hubs for me

yeah i had to revert back to previous version.
Couldn't find the option to hide dock bar

I think it was made more for the phones seeing as the menu button is present. Hopefully he addresses this issue soon. I'd hate to troll back to launcher pro.

Yep, keep those emails to the dev going

i sent them an email yesterday about the action bar... easy to hide but when the orientation changes it shows the action bar again...

Thank goodness I saw the reviews first before I hit the update button. I'm staying with the old version until this is resolved. I hate having a dockbar.

Reverting back to the last version.

Worst update ever. Screen usable space is so small now
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk

Reminds me why I run Ti Back-up...that layout is awful. I like the changes to the folders and some of the other things but the layout is terrible if you are trying to run HUBS. Anybody notice the change to the apps bar? I played with it for awhile before I restored and I am already not a fan. You can only have 11 apps in horizontal mode? Why would you limit it and force it to scroll?

My only complaint with the update it seems it has slowed down a little and gestures are not working as they should swipe up is fine but swipe down doesnt work.
I think maybe it was a rushed release like a preview of look what we can do when icys is here and such.
Hopefully adw ex is back on game soon !!!!

Guys he responded to my inquiries on twitter and it seems he has no idea what we're talking about. Contact anderwebs in his twitter page, he responds a lot faster there.
Edit: He updated it again but the issues with tablet space is still there.

AAGGHH could he have left it out by mistake?

Update 1.3.3.55! (as usual )
I’ve released a minor update with the following additions/fixes:
Option to use the dock as overlay: this means your desktop will be full size and the dock will appear over it when you show it.
When you trigger the “hide/show dockbar” action/gesture, the new status will be remembered until you show/hide it again. This is like the old option “No dock”!!

Ill give it a try brb
EDIT: Its not up yet!! Market still shows 1.3.3.5
EDIT2: Tried it the dock does disappear but the sides (When viewing landscape) do not extendo to the whole screen, so it looks horrible
EDIT3: This is what he told me on twitter:
@mauaus there will be a release by a week with a configuration window for the screen margins. Sorry

Iv just bought this, i see the tablet layout is different from the phone, i never knew that, i used to think, why do peeps want their tablet looking like their phone lol, its actually really good and brilliant bargain at ten pence.

damn
i was just finished setting up hubs, then i updated and now everything looks bad.
a lot of work for nothing.
i hope the small screen issue gets fixed asap.

Bought this today to for a dime to replace LauncherPro (which keeps FC'ing). Looks nice, but scrollable widgets are downright unusable. There is a big-time lag in every scrollable widget I try (Gmail, Calendar, Bookmarks, CNN). I thought maybe it was the gesture feature interfering, but I have them set to none and still the scrolling widgets are just way too sticky. They scroll perfectly in LP and the stock launcher, so there's definitely an issue with ADW Ex.
Anyone else have this problem? It doesn't happen if you keep your finger on the screen while scrolling, just if you swipe-scroll (like flicking through a list of emails), which is why I think it's conflicting with the swipe gesture functionality.

Have you played with the desktop scrolling speed? May not impact the widgets at all...but I am not having the same lag you are describing.

Transparent film over web pages

I did not post this in a rom specific thread because I have had it happen on both stock ICS and JB. and CleanRom. When using Dolphin Mobile browser and another one that I do not recall at the moment, I will get what looks like some type of film (I do not know how to describe it better) over the web page to make it appear faded out. It does not happen everytime. Has anyone else experienced this? Is it a common occurrence?

It's called s creen. Just kidding. Does it go away when you press the Back button? Is it a pop-up that's hidden? Do you have it on other apps (especially other browsers)?

If you are talking about xda just change the theme to xda 2010 down the bottom left.

And yes my screen is clean also I will have to check out the back button. How does one check for hidden pop-ups?

Should have done a multi quote, my bad. But yes it does occure a lot with xda, so I followed you suggestion. Will see what happens.

I've noticed this too on a site I visit, it's really annoying.

I have that as well, using the Stock Browser. Doesn't happen in Chrome (at least it didn't the last time I checked). On XDA it disappears if you either change the theme or press quick reply. A little annoying, but I can live with it.

Youtube Crop Problem (Not fitting the whole screen)

Hi i have a samsung S8+ bought from Bestbuy unlocked
im using the latest firmware and latest youtube app. recently my youtube stop cropping videos properly they onlu crop from top to bottom and no left and right. ive tried any video and trailers since trailers shows perfectly on the infitiny screen.
im not rooted and did nothing to modify my unit. my brother owns a locked ATT s8+ and he doesnt havr this issue.
things ive done that doesnt work
1) Rebooting phone
2) disabled the app overlay option on youtube app
3) the full screen option on settings is greyed out so i cant change it
things ive done (temporary fix)
1) Uninstall youtube update and use stock version
2) clear the data and cache (the problem will accur again after some time)
ive searched google and it seems the issue is very seldom i cant even see a permanent fix im hoping some from xda can help or share info. ?

Cropping is only top and bottom to fill out video to whole screen. The other option was stretch to fit, which stretched the video to the sides. YouTube app for our phone has been iffy. Also the stretching or cropping sacrifice quality.

But from the previous youtube we have 2 options Crop to fit and something like original. Selecting crop to fit fills out the entire infinity screen. But now the crop to fit only crops the too and bottom leaving the left and right black bars. It doesnt consume the whole infinity display

The only way to fit a 16:9 image on a 18:9 screen without cropping is by stretching it...
Do you like stretching? I don't, and neither cropping, IMHO better have black side bars.

I have already make the same question about the exactly same problem 1,5 month ago... I make a lot of tests and compare with my friends S8+....
I couldn't find a way to make it work for ever.... Only temporarily after clean app cache & data... And finally I found a solution that worked for me everytime...
You must NOT sing in to your YouTube acount.... I know that this isn't the best convinience solution but is working great at least for me.... My testing shows that with the same version of YouTube if you stay unsigned the interface of the app is totally different from the interface of the app when you are singed in... The second scenario that I'm not sure about it is that the issue started when I bought a tablet (xperia z4) and stay singed in... Maybe the updates that I'm getting in my S8+ makes conflict with the updates of my tablet or something like that but I'm not sure..... I hope that I help you and maybe you will find a better solution...

hello did you find a solution to this issue? i have experienced the same trouble, already searched the whole internet, still can't find a decent solution

I know solution, download original youtube mode app with zoom mode. Link is: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/hroo76125r9c7ef/AAAkofwRfrtj140sxY1mZ4dsa/Normal YouTube_v12.42.59.apk?dl=0

Sorry wrong link, correct link is https://www.dropbox.com/sh/hroo76125r9c7ef/AADyAUudoLs8rDCmFh5WmALBa?dl=0

I'm having the same problem - the crop to fit on YouTube option is not available any more.
I'm not sure whether it's the Samsung update which has broken it or the YouTube update. I've uninstalled the YouTube updates and it still didn't work so I'm thinking it's Samsung's update which is the culprit. To say I'm annoyed would be an understatement.....I watch a lot of YouTube on my commute to/from work. I have this big beautiful screen and now can't utilise it fully when watching YouTube as I have the black bars either side.
I may as well pull out my old HTC M7 and start using that as the total area of both screens when watching YouTube is about the same now!!
