Samsung Ebook:The taste that will never have a rival...

In several threads in this forum,many users(especially book addicts) need the Samsung Ebook APP for android ICS(or HC maybe?) but never get a proper,fully functional result.but this thread is to end their worries about the loss and perhaps will be an end to that problem...
It's simple:just download the APP files and follow the instructions and ENJOY!
There will be two posts that will follow: one for Honeycomb and the other for ICS...
News: a new Q&A section is likely to be created in each of the following posts!

For Honeycomb:
There are two files:the one that is in the attachment is flashable with CWM recovery but doesn't have the APP's data,the data must be downloaded through WiFi.
Use the second file only if your device is rooted and you have Titanium backup installed.just pu the folder "Titanium backup" in the root of your tablet's storage and restore the APP using Titanium.this file is accessible here:

For Ice Cream Sandwich:

This Book reader also seems to satisfy some users,I've not tested it on ICS though:

All is fine,try again...otherwise it is your problem only...if so,pm me

I downloaded it from the Samsung appstore before I disabled the Samsung appstore on my tab. It is in there too for those running stock.

Yes,maybe,if you have stock HC or ICS installed on HC...but most users have experienced issues with non-stock ROMs,this is for them

I really want to try the Samsung ebook reader but having trouble installing. My tablet is stock hc3.2 and non-rooted and have the Samsung appstore loaded on the Tab. When I try to install, the Samsung App jumps to Google Play and says not compatible with any of my devices (HTC Incredible 2, Nook Color (rooted) and Tab).
Anybody have any ideas how to install with out being rooted.
Thanks in advance

Yes,that's easy if you're familiar with Odin...do the following(voids warranty,no root):
Go to: https://sites.google.com/site/arashtarafar/
Download "recovery.tar.md5","bootloader.tar.md5","boot-cm...hc32..."
Flash the first two files with Odin,go into CWM and flash the third file...
Grab the "Ebook.zip" from the Honeycomb post in this thread(attachment),transfer the zip to your device and flash it with CWM...
Now you have stock 3.2 Ebook APP without root...launch it and in Samsung APPs press "Get",after completion press "Launch",the APP is in your device
Edit:for your Google play issue,I must say that if you log in with a banned/embargoed google account it shows "You do not have any devices",I have the same problem...hate and love Google play at the same time...

Thanks for the reply. But I don't want to load CWM. I'm waiting for ICS to come out for my SCH-i905 before I do any rooting / alternate recovery application. My account isn't banned or embagoed(?) cause I can load any other application from the play store to my Tab.

Download the zip from Honeycomb section,extract it,in the extracted folder go to "\system\app\"" and install "Ebook.apk",launch it,download it's data,done...
Information:the only benefit of flashing the zip package was to have Ebook installed as one of the system APPs that can't be uninstalled,there's no need to flash it otherwise...I should have said this,sorry...

Ebook
Do you know if it works in CM9 ?
(Flashing Ebook.zip via CWM)
:laugh:

I think it works but have not tested.I'll test it as soon as I get rid of the official ICS,you can test it yourself without harm if you don't like waiting.just follow the above post(first of page 2)

Arashtarafar, Thanks for the suggestion. I installed the APK but when I try to run the app, I get a message that "Service will be available soon" and nothing happens.
When I go into the Samsung App Center, it must recognize that it is installed cause I can "Delete" the application.

Thank you for finally getting me this working copy. I looks very similar to Aldiko but with a few extra features. Everyone keeps raving about this reader so I'm giving it a shot. thanks again.

Apk can't install due to n7 thinking not enough space

OK title kinda says it all. I have 4.28 GB left on my 16gb n7 trying to install a couple apps from apk files. I'm getting a warning that it can't install due to not enough memory and the n7 requests that I remove apps. The files don't go over 40mb in total so I'm confused as hell as to why its telling me I'm short non file space.
I tried fixing permissions clearing cache and dalvik but no luck. Anyone have a clue as to why it thinks this.
Running stock 4.2 unlocked rooted with trinity kernel.

It might be b/c when the apps you're going to install will be updated in the future and the N7 has a built in limit in other words the apps will go beyond the limit good luck and GOD BLESS YOU Oh yeah you might have to bite the bullet and delete some other apps

You probably have a left over .odex file for an app left in /system/app
Titanium backup has an option to look for orphaned dalvik files as well.

I had the same issue. I downloaded "Lucky Patcher" (google it) and went to Menue>Troubleshooting>Remove fixes and backups
That fixed the problem for me.

I have the same issue. I'm trying different approaches. About the post above... It won't let me install lucky patcher either. I'll try doing it in adb next.

I had the same problem and tried several things to fix.. The only solution to the problem was to indeed use Lucky Patcher... Use it to clear and then reboot and back to happy application installation...

It's because you have orphaned Odex files in system/app or data/app
Naughty naughty. Usually created by a cracked app.

Lucky Patcher makes the Problem go.
The Trick with using lucky patcher worked! Thanks man! I had the same Problem.

You need to use TWRP to make this work in recovery. You can change the backup location in Titanium under preferences. Stickmount does work for Titanium, though not flawlessly (sometimes you need to mount a few times). I switched to CraigGomez's ROM which has built in OTG support and it works great!

Ah! Maybe you can answer this as I've posted this several times about TWRP/GooManager usage.
In TWRP you can select to backup to your flash drive, now with the ROM you are using, on a reboot, is the destination of external still selected or do you have to remount/select every time? If so, using GooManager, the reboot into TWRP should still have the external card destination selected.

Twrp auto mounts the SD card every time. Very smooth. You can switch back and forth between internal and otg on the fly.

I'm stock OTA 4.2.1 and although it should have the latest Gapps, I let Goo Manager look for the latest. I installed it, reboot, did the Android update but when the desktop came up, it show "picasa has stopped working" and some sort-of Google process had problems. I rebooted again and it went through the same process including the Android updating process along with the errors. I restored a backup to fix the problem.
If you look at this Gapps page: http://www.teamandroid.com/gapps/, it should have selected the first file but instead it selected the second one down. I emailed them, no reply. I posted at RootzWiki, Goo.im section. One reply from the moderator which they stated that I'm on 4.1 which I've never been on or a Custom ROM and that's the Gapps suggested by the Dev. I replied back and so far, nothing from them.

I've been having issues with the GooManager Tapped file on my N10. I think it's corrupt.
Here's the one I've been using that works. (Dropbox link) http://db.tt/c5JMBBzn

You see, that's the file it should have selected for my build but didn't. I assume that's what is in my current build.
CraigGomez's ROM has its own Gapps package, is that what your refering to?

Did you install Craig's ROM from Goo Manager? If so, right below his ROM, I have "his" Gapps package listed. What I see may be different than you as your on it already.

Unable to install APK's

Anyone have any idea as to why, I cant install any APK's in OmniRom ? - I dont have GApps installed, if that any help. (GApps keeps failing to install).

First thing is to check Settings->Security->Unknow sources.

Well, I have the DEB nightly of 2-19-14 of OmniRom

But when I try to install the Google Voice apk, I get the message : Cant open file.
Also, would you like the error message for GApps as well. or do you just want the apk troubles ?

I don't see any DEB nightly on Omnilog. Only FLO version is available.
Are you running an unofficial version?

Its an official build right from the OmniRom website.
Heres the link to the DEB...
http://dl.omnirom.org/deb/

1) How did you get the apk on your phone?
2) What file manager are u using to install the apk?

I downloaded it directly to the tablet. & I went into the Downloads folder & just taped on it to install. Then I also copied it over to the tablet under OSX. after deleting it off the tablet the first time.

Again, which file manager are you using to navigate to your download folder and install the apk?

There is no file Manager on the system. Nor do I have GApps installed. And when I try to install any thing, it wont install. & since I dont have the Play store, I cant go through that to download/install any thing either… What a mess
- Btw. Thanks for taking an interest & trying to help me with this.

Your issue maybe that you don't have gapps installed and it's missing the installer files to install the apk

Does 'adb install' from a PC work?
Many of the gapps APKs are required to be in /system so they can't be installed via 'adb install' or any other method. Maybe the APK you're trying to install has a dependency on gapps.

Google apps, as well as apps that rely on the APIs they expose (mapping is common) are a tightly intertwined mess. You'll get seemingly silent install errors because you're missing libraries, for example. Trying to restore apps through Titanium Backup will similarly fail if they are missing required libraries.
They generally will show up though logcat if you look carefully. Resolving the issue requires the sufficiently complete and self-consistent (sub-) set of Gapps.

Yeah. What a lot of people don't realize is how many apps that are out there which aren't part of gapps, but require the presence of the core gapps components.

Xposed For Marshmallow is Here!!!!

Don't know if you guys have seen this yet, but Xposed for Marshmallow is here!!!!!!!! Checkout the Xposed subforum for downloads, general discussion, etc. So far these modules are working on my Nexus 6 running stock rooted MRA58R:
Force Immersive Mode
Amplify
Greenify Experimental Features
YouTube AdAway
Xposed GEL Settings
Snapchat Full Caption
Not working (causes bootloop):
Snapperfs
NOTE: You MUST use Xposed Installer v3 alpha 4 provided by Rovo89! The material design Xposed Installer does not work. I got the following error and could not activate any modules: "This module is forward locked. Contact the developer." After uninstalling the material design version and replacing it with v3 alpha 4 I was able to activate and use my favorite modules without issues.
UPDATE: material design Xposed Installer now works with v78!

How did you install it on a Nexus 6? Every time I try to flash from TWRP I get an error.
It was a bad download!

Also, I am positive your phone doesn't just say "An Error", read the error, it tells you what went wrong. If you don't understand it, ask us... but we need to know what it says.
Make sure its version 77, and the -arm file
-armx86 is for 64 bit chips running in x86 mode iirc, and obviously -arm64 is for 64 bit chips. Nexus just uses the standard -arm

What does the error say? Which version are you installing? Try a fresh download of v77-arm (NOT arm64). Your download might be corrupted.

I installed v77 and v3 alpha 4. It says that Xposed is active but when I go to modules it says "No modules available." I even changed to "Experimental" in settings. No luck!
