Best Bible software for Windows Mobile

Hi there everyone,
I just got an HTC Touch and I would love to be able to get a modern English translation of Bible on it. Specifically I am thinking of the NIV or possibly the NKJV.
Top features I am looking for are:
1) Easy to read on screen. Should be readable for practical use including reading out load in groups. Perhaps something out there has configurable font sizes?
2) Easy to navigate to desired passage (book, chapter, verse)
3) Basic search functionality so I can enter words like “apart law testify” and get passages such as Romans 3:21. The search functionality should be comparable to that of www.biblegateway.com - currently one of my most used resources.
Optional features that might be nice but not critical might be:
1) Bookmarks: So I can prepare a lesson and have bookmarks for relevant passages. If the bookmarks could be color-coded, numbered of have labels attached this might make it easier for me to know which bookmark to use at which point during the lesson.
2) Translation independence. Perhaps the software could be independent of the translation used and additional translations (RSV, NIV, ASV, etc...) could be purchased and loaded into the same software.
3) Personal notes: If I could enter my own personal notes and have them automatically date/time stamped and stay with a passage that might be nice.
4) A Windows XP/Vista version: if the software had a desktop version that might be nice but not at all necessary.
I realize such software is most likely to be commercial (particularly because the NIV is copyrighted to Zondervan) but if I could get something with the top 3 features I would happily pay for it.
Best regards,
The Fish.

Try www.OliveTree.com
They have the NIV and a few Bibles for the HTC Touch...
thanks
Drew

Try e-sword.net as well. (pocket e-sword) It is a free program and I think works great. I have not used olivetree before though. How do they compare?

That's the best I've ever used and I've been using them for over 6 years since way back when I only had a palm. Their Reader is independent from the bibles so you can have multiple bibles. You can also install the reader to main memory and install bibles onto storage card (in my case I have some in storage and some in main memory since I'm still having the random data loss issue on my Touch.) They have a number of free translations and then you can also purchase other translations for a reasonable price. And the reader itself is free so you can pick it up along with some free bibles to try out for a while. I'm sure you'll like it
Top Features:
1. Configurable font sizes - Check.
2. Easy to navigate - check. It has configurable scrolling so you can scroll by page, verse, chapter, or auto scrolling (goes line by line continuously great for reading out loud).
3. Basic search - Check
Optional Features
1. Bookmarks - Check
2. Translation independence - check
3. Personal notes - check
4. Windows Version - Check (maybe). They have a desktop assistant that's supposed to have some of the features of the mobile reader. But I've never given it a try so I can't vouch for it. Desktop assistant is $7 - http://www.olivetree.com/download/desktop/screenshots.php

I personally prefer Laridian:

Hi everyone,
It looks like I accidentally started two threads on the same topic. Sorry about that.
So far I have received three recommendations:
Laridian
Olive Tree
Pocket e-sword
Are these the only real players with this kind of a product? If so it should be pretty easy for me to try all three I appreciate your help in this. So far I think I am tilting in the direction of Olive Tree.

I actually use Mobipocket and love it. Have used it since my PDA days and have the KJV for it.

I recomend Olivetree
I have used this product for over 5 years on a Palm and just recently switched to a Touch. It has everything I could think of and has all the major versions including the original languages. There are vast selection of resources available and base package is free. You pay only for copytrighted material.
Highly recomended!
Touch_Pete

If youre willing to spend some money I suggest Quick Verse mobile 2007. It is a truly multimedia bible that even my non-techy wife was impressed with.

I recommend OliveTree. I've been using it since I owned a Palm Tungsten E. When I switched to a Windows Mobile device, I discovered that the Bibles I purchased for the Palm also had the Bibles in the Windows format!!

does anyone know how to ge pocketbible 4 laridian for free??

I got a vogue in December, and I had installed and was using e-sword (which I have been using on my pc and several pda's for years) until I went from WM6 to WM6.1. I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times, and it won't load when I try to open it. I have also installed Olive Tree and Laridian and I'm evaluating them. So, so far I can't tell you how to get it working properly, but depending on the version of WM you are running, it seems e-sword might have a conflict with 6.1

Pocket e-Sword
Running fine for me with wm6.1, program installed in memory, Bibles and commentaries on storage card.

Yes, I can confirm VZYGuy's experience. I installed e-Sword on a Sprint Vogue and it works flawlessly. I installed everything to the storage card. And Incidentally, I had already purchased a number of premium modules for my desktop PC version of e-sword and managed to convert those to a pocket version. Works great. The sad thing is, I recently purchase Laridian for the Pocket PC because a number of people had said that e-Sword was not so good on the Pocket version. After using Laridian for a few weeks, I decided to go ahead and load Pocket e-Sword. Honestly and IMHO, e-Sword is far more functional, feature rich, intuitive, and pleasing for what I would like out of a Bible program. Wish that I would have tried e-Sword first (thought I was going to have to re-purchase all the premium modules I had and that discouraged me as well).
Here are my phone parameters:
OS: WM 6.1a
Base ROM Ver: 3.02 with DHarvey's Vista Black (awesome)
Radio Ver: 3.42.30
Storage Card: PNY SD 4GB

x2 for OliveTree

I'm happy for those of you who who are still able to use E-Sword, however it still isn't working for me. I reinstalled E-Sword and one Bible module. No go. I have a US Cellular Vogue with WM 6.1, Rom 3.01.573.4, Radio 3.43.30, and an 8 gig Kingston card. I'm currently running M2D, which I had not installed when E-Sword stopped working. It worked until I installed WM 6.1 Just like activesync. At least being able to access GPS makes up for the loss of E-Sword and the hassle with activesync.
I found the answer in another thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1772770&postcount=103 The problem Pocket E-Sword has is with .Net CF 3.5 which I have on my Vogue. Since I can't remember which program I installed which needed this, I will get by with PocketBible and BibleReader until Rick gets the problem sorted out. Since 3.5 is going to be required by more programs, this incompatibility will hopefully be reconciled at some point.

[Q] Microsoft Word? View & Edit?

Hi all,
I am looking at purchasing either a netbook, or this Acer Iconia Tablet. One reason I am buying either of these is for viewing and editing/creating word documents. Obviously this can be done on a netbook, but can this similarly be done using this/any android tablet?
I have read about Documents to Go app however not fully aware of the functionalities etc (are you able to create new documents?). If yes, is the editing and viewing of the documents on the app/tablet good, i.e. easy? (with a USB keyboard)?
I'm not interested in the full editing found in desktop PC's or anything, just the basic write, read, edit, create.
Thanks for your time, appreciate all input.

I use Documents to Go on my Iconia, very pleased with it. Thus far, I haven't found anything of substance that I can't do. I have a Bluetooth keyboard, but rarely use it.

I got docs to go and it has been able to do everything I need so far. I have only edited my resume on it, but it has worked perfectly. I also set up my printer to use with my tablet.

Ok thank you very much for your fast responses! Are you able to create a new document? or are you only able to edit other documents already on the device?

Docs to go will work with your google docs, but the google docs app is pretty craptastic itself.

How about a decent software keyboard? One that has 5 rows for a change for those damn numbers.
All keyboards I've seen are simply mobile ones scaled up. They just won't do.

Been using Tswipe-Pro. It's free (with a minor nag once in blue moon) customizable (size, type, color) with T9 up top along with number keys and cursor keys as well.
I also concur on the Google Docs app. For viewing, everything else is better. But you can do edits in GDocs, I suppose. I think I missed the big 50% off sale for Docs to Go too--the free app included is good enough for referrence checks for me.

1+ Been using this for about a week!

Both look awesome!

Nothing compares to MS Word or even OpenOffice.
All the Android office apps have major features missing and problems displaying certain things correctly.
For casual use it's ok, but if this is a major part of your work then I'm afraid an Android tablet wont do it for you.

I have used Docs to go and Quick Office HD. Quick Office HD works better and is the only one I have found that show headers and footers in word docs. Also it works with Dropbox so I sync my work docs and can see and edit them if need be.

I beg to differ.
Open office, office 2010 and 2007 just don't display right on earlier versions and unfortunately many institutions don't bother updating since a plug-in is enough for docx or pptx.
I've found open office to misalign lines in pptx over and over again.
Since things don't shine on PCs either and you always have to worry a little about the target device, I thing a tablet is perfect for content creation.
You can always set the paragraphs straight and change styles at home in 2 minutes.

Alternative dictionaries

The Nook dictionary is pretty handy in that you can look up words directly from the book that you are using. There are any number of dictionary applications that you could install, but none of them have the integration of the built-in dictionary.
It has been worked out how to replace the built-in dictionary with one generated from public domain bilingual dictionary databases. freedict.org is one source.
So, is there interest in say, French/English, German/English, Spanish/English dictionaries?
The downside is that you can't swap dictionaries in real time. Pick one.

Where do I download the dictionaries?

Would like an english->french dict, do you have a link to something about it ?

Oh, great, there is some interest!
I haven't posted the converter or any of the databases yet. As a newbie here I wasn't sure about posting links or 15 Meg attachments.
The dictionaries from freedict.org are pretty basic word translations. There are some multi-word phrases, but of course the lookup on the Nook only works on single words.
The original dictionary also has a database of inflected words, so that a lookup of "cows" will go to the headword "cow". I know of no source for inflected words in other languages.
For an English/French dictionary you could keep the original English inflected word database and replace the headword database with an English/French database.
I also want to make a companion EPUB book dictionary so that you could search (if necessary) arbitrarily for words.

Ok, Dimdamm, you can try this:
It's an English->French dictionary. It only has 7461 entries, sorry.
Download it, unzip it to eng-fra.db, ADB it to /system/media/reference/basewords.db
For safety:
Do this after a reboot and before loading the reader app.
Backup the old basewords.db
Good luck.
I'm not sure how it will react to finding words in the inflected database but not finding the corresponding entry in the headword database.
Note: Deleted obsolete file. See below for newer version.

Nice ! I downloaded the fr-en dictionary on freedict.org and opened it on my pc with goldenDict to be able to compape.
So :
- with some words, it's working, but there is still a bug, see below.
- with some (mostly the differents verbs form, but not only), the window appears, but is empty And the word doesn't exist in the dictionary on my pc. There is probably a conflict with the remaining b&n files.
- and there also a lot of "word not found", but it's not a bug.
The bug : it does not show what is on the 2nd/3rd/.. line in the dict file. And if there are differents definitions on the same line, with a ";" between them, it will show them on different lines on the nook. Picture, coz with my terrible english, I'm not sure you will understand : s4.noelshack.com/old/up/bug-b7cc55012.png -> the 2 words from the 2nd line are missing.
Im using another en->fr dictionary with coolreader, with a lot more words, stardict format, can you convert it ? It's attached on my post.

Yes, a blank page will show up if you lookup a word that is in the inflected database but not in the headword database. I might write something to prune down the English inflected words so that it will just say "not found".
Ok, thanks for the feedback. I missed the case where there are multiple senses, like in "madness". I'll get on that.
I'm still mystified why on that PNG that you posted the pronunciation is not there. I guess that that is not an actual screen shot?
Thanks for your help.
I'll look at that file, but there is the question of format and copyright.
P.S. Oh! I know why I missed that multiple sense. All the dictionaries are quite different. The first one I worked on just had everything under all the same sense.

Yes, the nook part is from paint, the pronunciation is here, even if pretty buggy

I've got it so that it is picking up all the senses.
I'm working on making nice markup but still keeping the size minimal.
The HTML display for definitions does not support <ul> or <ol>
The pronunciation is "buggy" because the Ascender Sans font that is used does not have the full IPA pronunciation glyph set. The actual HTML is correct.

Ok, here's a new version of the English-French dictionary with all the senses in it. I hope that it has sufficient madness in it for you.

You can do:
mv /system/media/reference /system/media/reference_
ln -s /data/reference /system/media/reference
And put all new stuff into /data/reference - it is quite more space there.
Although, I think NST built-in dictionary browser is pos (1)
Better get something else, but you’ll need an alternative reader as well.

Mmm, linking to another directory is not a bad idea, but since the original dictionary is 53 Megs and the biggest dictionary that I've converted yet is only 17 Megs, I'm not sure about space considerations.
Yes, the supplied English dictionary is quite stinky. The problem is that they did a very haphazard conversion from a PDF document. Much of the markup does not have any whitespace between elements. e.g. Cows<b>are</b>animals should be Cows <b>are</b> animals. There are also problems that they render café as caf{eacute}.

Hyperlinks don't work, tons of other things are wrong - no need to discuss.
Yes, it's relatively simple to convert DSL dictionary to NST.
But after short time, I'm sure, you'll come to the same conclusion - better use something else...

Yes, the lookup has a problem with either links in general or else supporting the custom dictionary:// protocol.
The Nook native reader mostly does what I want, that is, display sequential pages with a minimum of flashing. The OverDrive application works on DRM library books (through a different path, not using Adobe Digital Editions), but flashes much more. It seems to me that any other reader would require cracking the DRM of the books that you want to read.
I started this thread mostly to get a line on free and distributable dictionaries that could be converted and posted. I began this project on a small dictionary that I had bought years ago.
Not having heard of it before, I Googled "DSL dictionary". The Dictionary of Scots Language looks very interesting!

Hi all,
I'm Spanish and I'd like to change the English dictionary by Spanish dictionary.
Firstly I have to say that I don't have any idea of dictionary formats and I'm totaly lost... but I've found that the "dict" format is pretty extended.
I got a dict Spanish dictionary so... Is there any way to convert this "dict" format (.dz .idx .ifo) to the nook database format (.db)?
Thanks in advance!
Edit: Also... could be possible to convert an ebook dictionary (ePub, MOBI, or whatever) to the nook dictionary format?

Right now, the converter I have works on the TEI-XML format, which is what freedict.org uses. Freedict.org only does bilingual dictionaries.
There are always dictionaries floating around, but the question is which of them are really free?
Were you looking for a straight (not bilingual) Spanish dictionary?

I've found this one:
http://code.google.com/p/tokland/downloads/detail?name=drae-2009-1.tgz&can=2&q=
It was collected by script from the online official dicctionary of Spanish language (www.rae.es).

Mmm, since they sell books and CDs of this and they don't offer download, a scraped version from a website is probably not really legit.
I will probably buy a real dictionary on CD and convert it for my own use, but I wouldn't distribute it.
As far as I know, freedict.org is about the best choice right now.
I'm looking into using Wiktionary.

I am spanish too. I created my own ones...
English-Spanish dictionary from google translator. The script I programmed would be valid to create from english to any other language such as french or german.
It works great with the special chars, and gets fully integrated. I used the original nook word list to perform the requests so no problem at all.
Now I am working with spanish definition dictionary, and I used a similar system, with a spanish word list (around 100.000 words) and using RAE for the definition requests.
Problem here comes with the inflected words... I am trying to program the ortografy rules so I can generate all the regular ones from the basic word list but it works with more errors than I would like. How are you managing with this table when you change the original baseword list?

WHAT TO DO WITH
___My Nook Simple Touch
I would like to create a thread to help people to make their choice about what to do with their nooks.
What mod should I choose ? why ? can i do this ? to avoid the "if only i've had installed this mod
instead of this one at the time".
Should I update my firmware (now 1.0.1) and to which version ? is there any disadvantage ?
Update to 1.2.1 , you will get a good dictionnary and there is no real reason to stay on earlier versions.
Which Mod should I get and install ? Advantages and disavantage ?
NookManager seems to be the latest and best firmware for now. (30/01/2014)
Can I update android ?
You can't, you will stay Android 2.1 forever
What app should i install ? Compatible with nook ?
Best apps for Nook simple touch (@mantion thread)
Offline wikipedia
Others ?...
Should I install a norefresh tweak, which one is the best ?
Tweaks :
AZERTY Keyboard and Language + general settingsMust have
Nook Color Tools (working on Nook Simple Touch) You can choose your keyboards settings, and under "Settings/Developpment" you can choose your language for the whole system. It also changes your keyboard to your region's one (azerty for me)
to install Nook Color Tools, use a file manager to move the .apk to system/app, then install it
Keyboards
Download the keyboard you're willing to use, with file manager move the file to system/app then install it. Then use Nook Color Tools to choose the Third Party Keyboard you wanna use. (Also possible with the twitter app from whati saw : Long press on text field/choose input method)
I wan't to get a keyboard. Which ones will work, which one are you using ?
( I'm personnaly looking for something like this but this one is bluetooth only
http://www.amazon.com/Perixx-PERIBO...qid=1390954285&sr=8-1&keywords=PERIBOARD-805L )

No one has any advice ?

- The latest firmware, with its good dictionary, is best.
- NookManager is the latest and best.
- It's Android 2.1 forever.
- Offline Wikipedia is wonderful.

My opinion may be different than others because I am not a big fan of multi-use devices. I only use my Nook for reading. If you want to do something that needs "norefresh" "fast refresh" or whatever, go buy a tablet.
I have rooted my 1.2.1 Glowlight with NookManager. I have installed YouVersion Bible 2.4.1 and Orion PDF viewer. NookManager installs Button Savior. These are the only apps I really use besides the stock reader.

I agree with you my nook is to be for a restricted use. However this thread is created for any user willing to know what are their options.
In my personnal use. I'm willing to use it for reading : blogs, books, PDF, wikipedia. And maybe for writing (if i find the right keyboard and app)
So its my "knowledge device" output (reading) and input (writing)
If norefresh tweaks have no downsides, It could be better for writing (see the letters showing as fast as they are typed)
That's how i see it.

I use the free Aard Dictionary (aarddict.android.apk). See http://aarddict.org/index.html and http://f-droid.org/wiki/page/aarddict.android.
I use the NST for reading novels with CoolReader, and read bridge (card game) on pdf files with APV PDF Viewer, and Word documents with Mantano Reader. All work very well, but APV has no book-marking, and choosing the best fonts settings for the NST on CoolReader is decidedly tricky. For occasional web browsing, Opera Mobile is fine. For quick notes, I use Color Note Notepad . I also use Dropbox, Titanium Backup and Adfree.
Rooting the NST far exceeded my expectations. I uses it twice as often as I did before rooting, mainly because the stock NST will only read epubs properly.

post updated with overall language tweak for android/keyboard/nookapps (with Nook Color Tools)

dictionary lookup offline

I would like to buy this device if there is the possiblity to use the back eink screen with a dictionary that on push look up the words with a pop up, offline. Do the screen allow this? if so what is the name of the reader app you would recommend me? thanks

Yes - kind of.
The stock book reader app uses a dictionary app called Abbyy Lingvo which translates from all languages to Russian.
So while reading a book on the back screen you can tap on a word it popups a message and you can choose copy or translate. Translate lookup the word in abbyy lingvo and displays it in Russian.

fantastic, so if I become mother tongue Russian before will arrive I will be happy Jokes apart, can I use the touch features to look up dictionaries with 3th part app(mantano, moor+reader etc)?

update, I found Mantano ereader that fits all I need( note, highlights db+ dictionaries i need), does someone has it on yotaphone 2, does the touch eink feature works well and the app animations are smooth enough?
thank you
