Anyone know of manga/comic viewing apps for the android?
I used to use Cloud Reader on the iPad, but this app is not available on Android as far as I can tell.

Comics or Mango work for me.
There are a few that I use.
Mangawhat : this program reads directly off of mangareader.com and mangafox.com and a few others.
the other two that I use to read off my memory card are:
SCViewer
jjcomic viewer
i was just using xcomic which i found worked well, it had a database of free comics and they all save to your device if you download. You can double tap on a scene and then tap the right of the screen to have it take you through square by square.
I did a lot of research before porting my CBR's over to my TF. Of everything I was able to track down, I found Perfect Viewer (< Market Link) to be the best fit for me.
It looks good on the TF in portrait mode (you can use landscape but without the ability to display dual page, side-by-side, it is less practical). There is a bigger learning curve with Perfect Viewer, but it has really great customization once you get elbows deep into the settings. You can adjust various page transition effects, loading functions, slideshow settings, set page as wallpaper for the TF, etc.. Some things I learned by trial and error (such as touching up at the very top middle of the portrait screen to go back to the bookshelf or assigning doc titles to the tops of each page and page numbers to the bottom). If you elect to use it, you may want to turn off some things such as all of the "load last" options.
All in all, it's a good fit for me. I loaded up a MicroSD with my entire collection of MAD Magazines (Issue #1 to present), and every issue of Zenoscope's Grimm Fairy Tales to test for load issues and the TF handled the bulk well (though you can toggle "Low Memory Mode" if necessary). Once I was comfortable that I had found my reader, I loaded up the rest of my reading fare.
Manga Watcher is my favorite. It links you to several websites to download from automatically. Just input the series and it'll show you how many chapters are out.
Just remember when you first open it you gotta change the setting to watch it in portrait mode and to set it so when you tap the screen, it'll change the page.
i'm using Perfect Viewer, i like the way it's supposed to work, but i'm having a problem setting the bookshelf to my microsd card...i'm using /removable/microsd/comics as the set path but it keeps saying it can't find the folder.....is it possible to set the bookshelf to a microsd card or do you have to use the internal storage?

My collection is on a MicroSD so I know it works. I use the same address as you (/removable/microsd/comics). Here's a few things you could try:
1. Verify that the files are in the directory you listed.
2. Make sure you spelled the address correctly. If any folders have caps in their name then use the same caps. Make sure you didn't type a "\" instead of a "/". The address in my "Manual input" field is as follows, "/Removable/MicroSD/Comics" (I use caps in folder names.)
3. Check to see that the MicroSD card is, in fact, working.
4. You're using *.CBR and *.CBZ files, correct? Not PDF?
I know the things I listed seem simple, but I can't tell you how many times I tore my hair out trying to figure out something and there was a simple solution that had eluded me during that moment.
caps is the key...
thanks, should have known that might be it.
Droid Comic Viewer is good if you don't need a lot of extra features.
is there any way to increase the size of the bookshelf in prefect viewer? In order to see the books a bit larger, tried the pinch zoom, didn't do anything and can't find an option for that.

Unfortunately, no; at least none that I know of. You could always send a suggestion to the creator through the Android Market. I plan on sending a few myself (such as calling up a warning dialog box before completely backing out of the application when hitting the back button; I hate having to relaunch because I went back too far).
I would like to be able to zoom in as well. As it stands, I have to bring up the comic to see the cover, then tap the upper most, middle of the top of the screen to go back to the bookshelf.
I do like that you can see your entire collection, then view it split it up based on the folder layout you set up on the MicroSD card by clicking on the "catagory" button at the top of the bookshelf. I have a huge collection so being able to dedicate the bookshelf to specific folders on the card makes finding things easier.

You can use Manga Rock for Android. Really polished and well-functioned manga reader app (Japanese comics).

But we need to know the manga title beforehand. It's hard to discover new manga there.
Hello all
I was wondering if someone had encountered an application that would facilitate signing documents on our tablets?
Ive tried printing to PDF or JPG and using something like Picsay pro to annotate the document but its a bit round about and picsay only saves a really low resolution image.
I was hoping there was something I could use that could allow me to open a document that may be in word, PDF etc. and sign it using a stylus or finger. I dont care if it has to be converted into a flat image as I am basically just emailing back a signed image anyway.
My current use is NDAs. I get sent them and am expected, print, sign, scan and return. If I could use my TF to do that then not only could I save trees but I could do this anywhere I got cell signal.
There's an app for that: Fill and Sign PDF's
Only works with PDFs that have form fields apparently. Most of these are just going to blank documents that were scanned to PDF.
What I can do is either convert the file to a PDF or just an image and what i need is an image annotator that can handle large files. But currently everything scales it down to being useless.
Id love something that could do it in one fell swoop but I think that is asking too much. Just convert a word/pdf/etc to a flat file that can then be annotated and emailed back as an image/pdf.
I use repligo pdf for document signing. Great app.
Ive gotten close with just the office app but one issue I am having is I recorded a signature but whenever I make a transparent GIF or PNG it shows all wonky on the transformer, just solid black.
Is there a way to get transparent images to display properly?
Give this a look. if you want to be able to sign on a PDF and have a crystal clear finished document.
at least watch the video.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.cerience.reader.app&feature=search_result
worth the investment for business purposes.
By far IMO the best one i have tried.
Thanks, I think I finally got there with your suggestion, its not the most elegant in all cases but it works.
For straight PDFs I can open relpligo. When they come in as Word documents I went ahead and bought Adobe's PDF creator to convert them to PDF and then sign them in repligo. This works because this means, if they are in word, I can fill out any fields in Polaris, convert to PDF, sign and then send back without ever having to touch a full featured computer.
There is a free app called SIGNificant. You open a PDF document and you can set an area for the signature. HOwever, everytime you sign, you need a WiFi connection or the document won't be saved.
Is there an app for stylus drawing on a4 paper with zoom features because clearly would be difficulty to write and see the whole page?
I really need this feature rather than making small notes...i suppose blank page pdf in qpdf might sufficr but atm the free.draw icon only lets you draw for a few seconds? n e 1?

one thing i have noticed is that when you print the s memos you can select a4 and they look ok (ish) when printed out...
hmm well i guess its worth a try, but i cant be scanning them all to my main computer again. Im going to be testing soon what file format s memos are saved in and then see if its possible to convert to pdf. reason is, i need the 'memos' on my main computer.

*.jpg format. Why convert to pdf?
hmm. jpeg is ok then it can go straight to word. the point is though s memo isn't good at all for zooming in and out and then writing with the pen as if it were a real a4 page so i was looking for a different app. ill have to test jpeg convertion of them to word tomorrow as i cant shuitdown my pc to re-install and get kies running today. long story
but ill try the zoom in s memo again
There's an app called handwrite though I've not tried printing. Bit hard in beginning because of features

JPG looks like crap on vector/text (since the compression is hard). Use PNG.

Gave the wrong app name, it should be Freenote.
It seems I have tried all of the major PDF annotation apps and one thing seems odd to me. It seems that there isn't one where a tool you are using remains persistent.
For example if i want to use the highlighter, the moment I am done highlighting a section the highlighter tool turns off and i have to click it again to highlight another passage.
So if i am going through a textbook or article and want to highlight passages I am interested in I have to keep clicking the highlighter icon over and over again. Its hard to imagine the developers made it this way on purpose but they all seem to do this.
Am I missing something? Is there some way to make the highlighter tool remain on?
Thanks.

I think that's exactly how they're designed. The problem being, is that I don't think there are any Pdf apps designed to be used with the pen. For instance, lecture notes allows you to write with the pen and scroll with your finger. That's what we need in a PDF app. A Setting where a finger will not create an annotation-- but will work for scrolling and zooming-- and the pen will annotate but not scroll or zoom. Hopefully more apps will appear that are optimized for use with the pen.
Well we can import pdf files into Snote and mark them up there. You just dost habeas the typical markup tools.

Hi,
I use Lecture Notes to put notes onto pdf files.
First I cranked up the import quality in settings.
Go to notebook overview and import pdf as new pages.
Add another layer, that way markup can be added and deleted without deleting through the pdf.
For highlighting I use a yellow custom pen and adjust to fat with tweaked alpha and softness.
Hope this helps.

hey, that Kno textbook app that comes preloaded loads pdfs much faster than snote and the highlight tool remained persistent while flipping pages for me. You could give that a shot?
I figured out how to get the snaps into LN. Don't know why it wouldn't work last night.

The guide says I can import and you say S Note can import but there is no option to import on my Note 10.1 S Note. What am I missing?
When you first open the app hit the menu button then import.

I was just messing around with ezpdf and have just discovered that you can do the above! If you look at the annotation toolbar in ezpdf, you will notice that the same tool is highlighted twice e.g. the highlight text icon, the only difference being that there is a small "c" below the tool icon.
If you click on the highlight text that has the "c" on it, you can continue to highlight different parts of the text until you click the done arrow, this feature can be used with any of the tools that have the "c" shown on the tool. You can also customise the tool bar to show only the tools that you will be interested in.

With this forum and its members, the Galaxy Note tablet and the right apps and knowing how to use them and discovering new features, the Note 10.1 for me is on a daily basis becoming the ultimate productivity tool. So far, I have not been tempted by any other tablet which is extremely rare as I constantly update my devices. At home or at work, I can't put it down as there is something useful that the note can do better or more conveniently than my other devices.
Does anyone know if there is a way to do highlights on a PDF that is not OCR'd? EZpdf and Iannotate only allow the highlighter to be used on OCR'd documents.
I have a lot of scanned documents that have handwritten notes, and I'd like to be able to highlight those things. Essentially it would be like drawing ontop of the PDF with the highlighter tool, much like the pen tool.

In ezpdf, you can use the freehand tool and go into its options, choose the colour you want to highlight in and then make the opacity lower and choose the pen size. This will allow you to highlight none OCR'ed documents.
Can anyone recommend a PDF app that I can use on Android to delete individual PDF pages(not PDF files, and individual pages within a PDF)
Hi,
I would like to ask if a new not yet perfect feature is working also on the gnote10.1.
Its the scroll by hoovering with button pressed.
In Setting-Input the two last options have to be enabled for it.
If you like it or have other ideas for it maybe we can collect them here to show them to the developer.
My idea would be to have the scrolling option without showing the hoovering dot and
having a sense for "flinging" then pen, so with more speed you scroll more pages....
Regards
Splotz
considering that the tab has a hover indicator built in, which is a small grey dot, i would prefer to be able to scroll without the lecture notes hover icon as well.
also, does anyone else have issues with odd strokes coming up less than straight(like a squiggly lightning bolt).
I posted to your question in the other thread.

I am experiencing the same thing when I am drawing. Is it a software thing ? Or is the screen bad .? Maybe a warranty issue ???
l don't think so. It's more a hardware issue but, probably not repairable. Just check this thread out:

Looks like if the tip gets not quick enough to his "zero" position sometimes..
Did you try to change the tip or to see if something is bend or stuck so ?
Yes, tried all hardware variations including another penabled pen. I think it is a mixture of hardware and software possibly.
I received a couple of reports concerning strange `squiggled´ lines when using LectureNotes on Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 devices. So far, only this device seems effected. It is not clear what is causing this problem, but I agree with ratindahat that it is probably a mixture of hardware and software.
I just uploaded v1.16.8 into Google Play in which there is a second input `filter´, namely to optionally discard coordinates `between´ input events sent by the Android system (which are called `historical input events´ in Android terms). In the filter input settings dialog, this is the first option, as this `filter´ is applied first, and the Ramer-Douglas-Peucker filter that is available since v1.16.3 is the second option, as this filter is applied second. Actually, these `historical´ events *should* be used, and not using them rather elaborates on the symptoms and does not solve the underlying problem, but I received some positive feedback from Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 users so that you might wish to try this new `filter´.
I will try to get a hand on a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 device to investigate this further (and hopefully find a work-around concerning the stylus button, too).
Migrating from S-Note to LectureNotes
As others in this thread I prefer LectureNotes to S-Note.
However, I've discovered LectureNotes just recently and in the meantime I have created several notes in S-Note.
What is the best way to migrate all my notes from S-Note to LectureNotes?
Export as a pdf then import pdf?
I tried that but then I have to go note by note.
Is there a way to export/import in bulk?
Sent from my GT-N8013 using xda app-developers app
@linattuale: I do not know about the export side, but you can import all pages of a PDF file at once in LectureNotes. If you wish to do more than that, you will have to create a ZIP archive similar to the one that LectureNotes creates upon backup the notebooks board or when sharing a folder, and import this ZIP archive. This is not particularly complicated, but it requires that you convert your PDF files to a set of PNG files and ZIP them together in the right fashion, which is probably better done outside the Android world in batch-style.
