Zinio for Android & PressDisplay for Android

Extract from JH3 Galaxy Tab Rom download from here. Tested work on Nexus one 2.2.1 w/ Cyanmod 6.1 ROM. only problem is that it force closes in landscape mode. I have been searching up and down for this for over half year since first heard of it earlier this year -- it is time to trade Nexus one to a bigger screen phone.
you would need to install all three apks, and only readinghub has launcher icon. from there, you can launch zinio or pressdisplay
for these who do not know yet zinio, it is the largest US e-magazine subscription provider. zinio for ios is one of the most downloaded non-game software. it has reading client for pc, mac, web flash. www.zinio.com
pressdisplay is similar to zinio only that it offers e-newspaper.

It didn't work on my Hero
is there hope for me?

thanks for the apks
tested it on my droid x, zinio couldn't display any picture
does it show pic on your N1?
and it also crashed on landscape mode.
haven't try the pressdisplaythough.

Same here
Same here. I installed on Galaxy tab and it wont work.!

Will it work on Nook Color?

working ok in my Nexus 1.

Has anyone tried using Zinio on NookColor
Has anyone tested this on Nook Color - I run the app and nothing happens.

Tested on Cruz Reader and get Force Close on ReadingHub every time. Is this 3g/4g dependent?

Works and crashes
I got mine to work loging
download my mags

Same here on an Archos 70.

Works quite well on my HTC Desire.
Crashes (most times) if you switch from Portrait to Landscape during a session, but zooms, switches from full view to text mode and back and swipes through pages back and forth without problem.
Been using it for a couple of weeks now.

Updated my N1 to Girgerbread, and zinio stop worked, start to appears forced to close the apps.

Works reasonably well on my motor zoom. I've encountered intermittent force closes but not enough to be discouraging. It's great in portrait mode.

Are magazines working on your Xoom? I just get crashes when I try to open it up.

Stopped updating latest magazines and now won't reinstall properly on the HTC Desire
Hopefully a supported App is coming SOON!!!!!

working on my nook color with honeycomb

Its working on my Nook Color with 2.2. never worked for me on 2.1

works great on my galaxy s, many thanks!!

Works like a charm in my SGS.
I used the instructions on GearDiary.com (can't paste the link, I'm new )

Desire S may NOT or will NOT receive native DOCK support

I would need to confirm this from everyone who may know something about it.
I have followed Valwit's instruction on how to make the Rosie Launcher support sensor autorotate. (Thanks)
And based on my experimentation, the results may disappoint you. (Like what I felt .)
Well, pictures will tell you more about it.
Check the attachments. The last two snaps will show you that it broke down the app drawer.
Yes, during on landscape, the touchscreen responses do not work properly. While in landscape, the phone still thinks its in portrait but just displayed it improperly.
These may need to be hard-coded to work properly?
It seems the only way for us to have rotated launcher, is just by using the native DOCK app.

video chat and music app compatibility?

So I'm thinking about getting this phone. I'm wondering how well video chat (Skype specifically) and either btunes or Player Pro work on it. if anyone does use bTunes, does the camera button control function work in it? a short list of apps I'd really liek to knwo about, if anyone has used them on this phone:
No Lock (I know Sense has a clever lock screen, but I hate lock screens in general)
Wave Launcher
bTunes
Player Pro
Skype
No Lock
I'd also love to know if anyone has had other compatibility problems with other apps as well that I haven't mentioned, any at all. especially games. I'll be switching to a Sense phone from a stock gingerbread phone (Samsung transform Ultra), so compatibility could be a pit fall for me.

Hey, so of all those apps the only one that I have is Skype.
I am pretty amazed by how well it works. The video quality is excellent both ways, but the front facing camera does struggle a bit more in low light versus a normal webcam. Skype is fairly reliable. The video stream is clear, sound quality is good and all in all it works well. I Skyped with my friends on both Wifi and 4G for over an hour, it did however freeze a couple of times however it was difficult to tell if it was because of my phone, or the person I was Skyping with.
Can you elaborate on compatibility issues? The only "compatibility issues" I have ran into with applications regard LCD density and not being able to download from the Android Market. I changed my phone to have an LCD density of 160 rather than 240 using PropModder, and that prevented me from downloading applications like Facebook, and pretty much everything else - a simple change and reboot fixed the issue though.

Well, on the sidekick for example, Samsung changed the colors of menus and the notification drop down menu background, so if an app uses dark colored text, its difficult or impossible to see on the menu background that's also dark. It gets quite annoying. Also, no lock would often fail to block the lock screen, since it was altered by samsung, and i know sense has a diff lock screen as well. (If all these OEMs insist on modding android so much, why cant they give us an option to disable the lock screen natively for those who dont like it?)

So does anyone know about the other Apps, especially No Lock and Wave Launcher? I use those two ALOT.

Sorry to go off topic...but CM7 has the option to disable the lockscreen.

hmmm, did not know that. seems like at least those guys have some sense to them. I hope CM or a stable AOSP rom is on this thing soon, mine arrives tomorrow.

Don't have any of the apps in particular, but I've been using the phone for a few months now and haven't had any compatibility issues yet (that weren't fixed by the ROM developer).
It's been reported that changing the LCD density of this phone will cause app incompatibilites as mentioned earlier though. As long as you avoid that, I think you shouldn't have a problem.
I have plenty of games that I've played on the phone and all has worked so far. The only one not compatible so far is Asphalt.

Cm7 is pretty nice, also u can install the gapps and gapps-gtalk extra package when installing cm7, and the video call of gtalk will work well probably.I've tested it with a pc and this phone, videochat was flawless with the front camera.

[Q] Screen Doesn't Respond After Zoom Unless You Re-Touch??

This is a minor concern for me but I'm surprised at this user functionality and hopefully someone can shed some light on this.
I just got a verizon s3 SCH-I535 and I'm pretty annoyed that when using the browser, if you pinch to zoom in or out, you then have to remove your fingers from the screen and then re-touch it to pan/swipe around. I've been using these phones for so long that I'm in the habit of being able to zoom and pan around while in constant contact with the screen and transitioning gestures. It's much faster and fluid that way.
Transitioning from a zoom to a pan while in constant contact with the screen = DOESN'T WORK
Transitioning from a pan to a zoom while in constant contact with the screen = WORKS
I'm guessing it a samsung firmware bug but I was hoping...
a.) Someone can verify their phone does this too on stock rom so I know it's not just mine.
b.) Maybe someone is using a custom rom that this works the way I want it to.
Basically I just want to be able to zoom and pan while keeping at least one finger in constant contact with the screen. It's annoying to have to pick up and re-touch after every zoom gesture.
Thanks for any insight.

Could someone at least please verify that their phone behaves the same way? Zoom in on a web page and then, keeping one of the two fingers you zoomed with on the screen, attempt to swipe around the screen. Doesn't work for me but I have noticed it works on photos in the gallery. I even tried downloading several different browsers with no luck.

I can confirm.
Just got mine for xmas, was using sgh-t959. I dont know if you could do it on the vibrant or not. I dont think I ever tried before.
What you don't know could fill a book.

Looks like the Samsung stock browser to me. They modded the Android browser. Works correctly on Chrome and Dolphin.

Thanks! I tired a couple other browsers including Dolphin with no change, but I just downloaded Chrome and it behaves the way I would like it to. :good:

[Q] Force orientation of some apps.

Folks,
I'm completely in love with this device (P905).
However, there are some apps that are meant to use with phones, that will change their orientation (to portrait) and stretch to use the whole screen.
So everything is stretched out and completely unusable/ugly.
I have already disabled the auto orientation... and this problem still stands. I have tried to run these apps in windowed mode, but no luck.
So, any tips on how to force orientation on a single app?
A few apps that have this behavior: Connectbot, ESPN Score Center, UFC TV come to mind.
My tab is rooted, I'm running Wanam Xposed.
Thanks.

Try "Ultimate Rotation Control" in the app store. It allows per application rotation settings.
You may experience crashes when forcing some applications though forcing you to hard reboot the device.
