[Q] Which version of Kindle app has no page turning sliding effects?

I use SearchMarket to find and install Kindle app from Android Market on the rooted Nook touch. What is annoying is that the Kindle app has a sliding effect when turning pages. The screen would flashes multiple times during page turning.
Is there a version of Kindle app that has no sliding effects? Which version do you guys use?

3.1.0.30
Flashes only once did not have to configure anything.
Edit: wrong, i do have it just didn't notice it until compared to other readers. Sorry about false information.

I know this is old, but if the OP or anybody else is still wondering about this, I found that the 2.0.5.103970165 version of Kindle does not have any page-turning animation effects. It does however seem to completely refresh the screen with every page turn but to me it's still nicer than the animation.
You can download the apk from here: freewarelovers.com/android/download/temp/1311093850_Kindle-2.0.5.103970165.apk (sorry, I don't seem to be able to post hyperlinks)

Hey, I've had a similar problem
I'm French and do not own an american credit card, so I can't buy from B&N, and I do have to buy books from amazon for new releases
The page turning effects ARE a big drawback though
Couldn't we use the screen refresh hack? (I've read about it somewhere but can't find it anymore) people are able to watch movies on the nook touch so it should be able to display animations in a non blinding fashion right. (maybe with a bit more battery drain but hey...)
I don't know enough to try this out though, any help from a more advanced user of rooted nook would be a blessing. :angel:

I just installed it it's actually very simple, it's a simple app to install, it works great: you still have the animations but the screen doesn't flash anymore
Cheers

i can cofirm that norefresh+kindle app works great. but i would like to have an option to disable the animation at all, i dont like it..

[Q] Some titles garbled using Nook Manager

I used Nook Manager to root my Nook Glowlight V1 early this year. I love it, but I've been having a small problem that I haven't been able to figure out.
Most of my titles show up fine (using ReLaunch), but a few are garbled. . . most of the garbled ones display as "%t" (photo demonstrating this available via email if it's needed. . . I'm too new to post a link to the photo ).
But a few will show the author and then "%t", a few show "Unknown", and a few seem like just strings of characters.
I tried changing the text of the file names themselves. That doesn't seem to have any effect. I've looked at the metadata in Calibre, but I don't see anything that looks amiss. Frankly, I'm stuck, and that's why I need to ask this question! Could anyone point me toward a possible cause (or, even better. . . a solution)?
Thank you!

Hi Maneki!
I'd love to help, but I need a few more specifics.
1. Is your Nook Touch Glow on firmware 1.1.5, 1.2.0 or 1.2.1?
2. Are the problematic books signed with Adobe DRM?
3. How long have you been having this problem?
Later,

Of course!
1. It's on 1.2.1
2. No, they're not.
3. Since I first rooted, so since February. I thought I'd eventually find a thread here or elsewhere so I could fix the problem myself, but I suspect that I just don't know what I'm looking for.
Thanks!

Sure thing.

Reply to your PM
Then I believe this solves your problem AND provides a cause.
In the Advanced Settings menu of ReLaunch, there are several file association settings. Look around in there and see if anything works.
I actually got rid of ReLaunch quite a while back, and am currently using ADW with the Minimalist theme. I absolutely love it. But, if you need me to look around in ReLaunch, please post the .apk for me and I'll temporarily reinstall it.

I tested the stock Library, and the titles do show up there.
An important element of the problem, which thenookieforlife3 kindly diagnosed and I neglected to mention, is that I'm using ReLaunch! So the problem is specifically that they're not displaying correctly in ReLaunch, not that they won't display correctly at all.

I must have messed something up while playing with settings when I first rooted (honestly, as is probably obvious from this thread, the level of versatility is kind of over my head!). . . I poked at a few things, and then I just restored the ReLaunch settings to default, and the titles show up again.
Thank you so much; that was massively helpful!

What's the name of the feature when I slide the notification left it opens up in a window or something? How do I disable it? It always crashed on me when I tried it with hangouts, using the latest build.

I'm noticing that in most applications when I bring up the Google keyboard, it covers up at least half of the typing area and also any send button that maybe in the application but not on the keyboard itself. Does anybody know how I may be able to fix this? I'm finding typing in this ROM very difficult. Mistakes are coming up that I swear have never happened in any other rom work keyboard I've used. Is this possibly a scaling issue? Thanks for any help someone may be able to offer.

I had to double check some stuff and what i found seemed to confirm what I have read around here. I dont have the Sprint variant but there are quite a few people that seem to have your same problem on the ls980 after leaving stock. From what i gather the most used method is to flash all the way back to stock and get a gps lock. copy your gps.conf file to your pc and then copy that over after you flash your custom rom.
It doesnt seem to be a guarantee a fix either but has worked for some people.

Mixed Answer. Most AOSP roms *unless drastically changed* will have terrible scaling on devices with our screen. its because at 480 dpi everything gets stretched out and thats why some menus and items will seem out of place on install. Now some keyboards are better than others. i find the recent google keyboard *not in the playstore* works great but I also scale my device to either 440 dpi or 420 dpi and that seems to be a perfect fit.

this was changed i realized but...On DSB and other newer features coming down to LS Rev3nt3ch doesnt really have much say in if these features get added. He is simply building what the LS devs add and then push those for our device. To put it simply...any new 'features' will have to be added by the LS devs first..

This may not cover all and bacon, which I use, is fairly new. I think bacon is somewhat of a hybrid of ondemand and the intellidemand. It appears to ramp up fairly quickly and back down while not going all the way to max CPU if not needed...this is a plus for battery life

Changing wallpaper problem

I have a Verizion Samsung Galaxy Note 3 using Nova Launcher, not rooted. A long while ago I downloade Muzei app to have my wallpaper change every hour it worked great used it for a couple months I run into a batter drain issue I delete Muzei and a bunch of other apps the batter drain issues is fixed or manageable for now. However my background still changes all on its own Muzei is not installed I try to find any info on and I find nothing so I re download the app run it then delete it however this time I cleared the data and cache. The problem still persists my background keeps changing. I do not want to do a factory reset. Is there anyone who can help with out having to do a factory restore and having to back up and all that is a royal pain on an Android device. Thank you for your helps I apologize for any errors or typos I typed this up on my note 3.

Hi,
I'm thinking a factory reset, or possibly even reflashing firmware may need to happen to fix it then.... But for other ideas, I'll have your thread moved to your device section.
Good luck!

How has watch not received more support
Just wondering why this watch hasn't received more support from the developer community.
550 mAh (battery life is very good).
IP67
Doesn't look too ugly.
can pair with iphone (through ANCS-NC service) and receive notifications (as well as android).
I need a developer to start tweaking this thing, as the weather app doesn't work properly, I would like to give the hr monitor and gps a workout with a running app (none on stock rom) and I would like the bluetooth to have automatic reconnection (maybe through polling) to iOS devices.
Maybe I should learn how to do it myself (sighs as about to go on another programming learning tangent).

I agree - i looked through a lot of watches and this had the best specs (including battery). Maybe some people don't like the design, I was thinking about colouring in the grey numbers with a black pen (to make more stealth).

and also
and also I would like to be able to dim the watch a looooot more in darker environments.
like a slider with a much lower minimum (not sure if it's actually possible).

Good on Lemfo for developing the rom to work with the ANCS service, but does need more development.
