Nook Ports for Elocity

I have a Barnes & Noble Nook Color, a Viewsonic G Tablet and the best of the best...................MY ELOCITY A7.....
I love my nook color so I am using my Elocity as a part time Ereader amongst other things. I have the Nook App on my Elocity and for the most part it works rather well. Is there anyway to copy the Nook Color experience onto the Elocity. I like the way the Nook Color has the bookshelves and would like to get that ported over to my elocity. Can anyone steer me in the proper direction. I have over 200 E-Books purchased from Barnes & Noble on my Nook Color and I want to get them on my Elocity so I can give the Nook Color to my Wife. Is there anyway to duplicate the Nook Experience on my Elocity A7.

Im curious... How does the screen compare to the g TABLET? I know its smaller but what about quality?

Smaller and lower resolution, but the viewing angles are better. It's also better when viewed horizontally. The lower Res on the smaller screen isn't too bad. I find it get the job done just fine.
I have both and like both. The portability of the eLocity is very nice.

wow
I didnt think my thread would get hi jacked
Can we please stay on topic. If youd fine a search there are several threads comparing the viewsonic g tablegb... the nook and the elocity.

Just get the nook app on your elocity and you will be able to access all your b&n books and also epubs. It's available in the market and can also be sideloaded without a problem. Good luck!

thanks not what i was lookin for

I wanr to be able to oorganize book shelves and library like they r organized on the nook color. I have the nook app on the elocity however the nook app does not have bookshlves or catagories

I got what you're saying...
Is the nook rooted? you could try to titanium backup the application on the nook, transfer the file and then reinstall it onto your a7 with titanium backup.
just thinking out loud, not sure of the actual feasibility.

Didn't work

Tried the suggestion above and it did not work. When I copy the back up files over with Titanium they are alled lined out when I try to restore. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If not guess I'm off to get another Nook Color unless I can find a way to get that Shelves and Library type interface.
Can anyone assist me with this?

[Q] Can I replace the stock gallery with another gallery?

I'm currently on blay0's ROM (deodexed) and I'm wondering whether or not I can replace the stock gallery app with the one from CM7. I'd assume there's some adb work involved (pushing CM7's gallery to the appropriate place) unless I'm grossly misinformed.
I don't want to go right ahead in case I somehow irreversibly mess things up, even though I can nandroid. It's also nice to have and provide discussion.

Why don't you install quickpic or some other third party application? My experiences with the cm7 are bad, it's terribly slow. the only thing it brings is nice eye candy.

My experiences with the Gallery in CM7 are better than those with the stock gallery, hence this thread.

I am happy with CM7, but with one tradeoff. I have never ever been able to use its gallery app. It takes forever to load images from sd card.
Just use QuickPic to browse images.

Can we stay on topic, please?
I do not want to use a third party app to do something as basic as browsing photos. I just want to do as the first post describes.

Possible, just push the ones you want and pull the ones from Blayo's.

Hm. I was thinking there could be something else involved but I'll give it a try regardless.

Isn't the cm7 gallery app just Gallery 3D?
A question on this:
The cm7 gallery doesn't seem to be deodexed. So if you wanted to copy an app like this, you have to copy the odex file as well, do you?

Thanks for the heads up.

Quickpic
quickpic was a nice option to have gallery without bugs in ur cm7 rom

[Q] b&n launcher apk?

running cyanogenmod 7.1.0 RC0 on my NC.
i like it.
i hate the nook for android app from the marketplace.
when i ran nooter on my 1.2 stock, it left me with two launchers: b&n and zeam.
does that mean there might be a way to run dual launchers on cyanogenmod, with the 1.2 b&n stock launcher?
is this even possible or am i stuck looking at a dual boot scenario?

skwalas said:
Reader.apk is the stock b&n reader, and is protected from being used outside of the stock experience, including in other launchers. It cannot be copied to work outside of stock and will not appear outside of the b&n interface even tho you are rooted

just found this quote. it has been my experience that any defensive wall can be scaled given enough time and ingenuity. anyone have additional information on these protective measures?

[Q] EReader

One of my main uses for this device is as an EReader.
My question is what will be the best EReader application.
I currently have the Sony PRS600, which is a great reader - but hard to use at night in bed.
One feature I use more than I would have expected is double-click and word and it does a dictionary lookup. Really very handy...
The ability to select font size and reflow the text is a must...
Less used features are the ability to highlight and bookmark pages.
How does the included reader for EPubs compare? I have absolutely no interest in pdf format - I don't find it appropriate on small displays. I want text to be text - and not a picture of text.

I'm using Nook now and I'm pretty happy with it. You can change the font, font size, margins, line spacing, page/text color (sepia, white on black, etc) and set the screen brightness within in the app so it auto-dims when you start reading. You can highlight text to make notes and perform dictionary searches.
I'm quite sure most any of the popular reader apps have similar features so I couldn't compare it to Kindle or claim it's the best. I tend to get B&N gift cards on any given holiday so I've stuck with it as my regular reader app.

If the Nook app looks good on the Nexus, that sounds pretty good. Nook certainly has a reputation for a good reader, and I still have my B&N membership card from my abortive Tablet purchase...
Would love to see some feedback on the stock Nexus application...

Moon Reader Pro does it all

+1 absolutely in favor of Moon+ Reader for ePubs.

Anyone tried Moon Reader on the Nexus 7 yet?
A plus for me is that they do not even try to support pdf's.
Guessing Portrait should look best on a 7 inch?
Wishful thinking: Anyone tried it with stickmount yet?
Definitely a contender if it works well on the Nexus 7.

Check out the General section, stickmount works for transferring files, but we haven't been able to open/play files on any external storage.....yet.

I recommend aldiko

Yeah I love aldiko. simple and it does the job. Moon Reader seems to be the trend now though and I've tried. It has a lot going on if that's what you're after.

Play Books seems to have eliminated itself from the competition, since it does not support the EPub format.
My entire library is in EPubs, managed by Calibre, and I see no reason to change.
I got some good suggestions here for readers that will work. Thanks!

cool reader supports mobi files so if ur coming from a fire then no need to convert them

Are there any readers that would let me put the book in my Dropbox folder and keep track of where I left off if I switch between my N7 and phone?

Nook for B&N stuff (obviously!) and FBreader for everything else (I have a mix of epub and prc files).
The Nook app will sync your position across devices, at least for content from B&N. Not sure whether it works on sideloaded content.

I should have been more specific: Books in epub or other open formats.

Moon+ allows that.

i'm surprised moon doesn't like mobi files.

By Moon+, do you mean the paid version?
Also, does it sync all formats it can open? I downloaded a book in pdf format, will it sync that?
Otherwise I have to see if I can convert it to epub.

I'm still struggling with trying to figure out how to keep moon reader synced between devices. Guess I'll have to check out their web site and hope it explains it.
And 2nd the comment about mobi files.

[Q] make my NC look like a stock Nexus 7?

My NC hasn't had much use in a long time. It's got an old Phiremod on it, 6 or 7, I don't remember.
Anyway, I have a stock N7 and I was wondering how to make the NC look and feel like the N7.
Would one of the JB ROMS for the NC make it look like the N7 or would I have to find the right
lockscreen, launcher, notifier, navbar, etc.?
Thanks,
tlc

I have not seen the Nexus layout, but I would guess it is similar to CM10. The basic layout should be the same, with maybe a few tweaks by CM10.
