Reader.apk ?

When I am reading a book and I launch Softkeys home there is a app on the desktop called Reader.apk. When you select it, you go back to the book you are reading. I would like to put this app in my Zeam launcher tool bar, but can't figure out how or if it can be done. When I am in Root Explorer I can see the app under System/App. It is not an app listed when I launch the Applications from Zeam. The only time I see it is when I select Home when using Softkeys.
Any thought on how I can get this app, Reader.apk, to work in Zeam Launcher tool bar??
Thanks

Any suggestions?

Are you running rooted stock and if so what version?

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

Thank you, that was all I wanted to know.
I can't believe it took 6 days for someone to give me that simple answer.

HBO Go app

Anyone have the HBO go app? Its not showing up in the market for the tablet, but its shows up in my phones market. Unfortunately I can't use the app on my phone since its a droid 1, but I'd think the tablet would support it. If I dl it to my phones SD card, then put that SD card in my tab and move the app from the SD to the tab would this work?

its not availed for android tablets yet.

I sideloaded the .APK to my tablet and it says it won't work on my device (Iconia), nor does it work on my Droid1. Seems to like HTC devices

Any update on this yet

just use the website.
hbogo.com put the browser in desktop mode with the about:debug trick. It works.

i'm lazy, so instead of switching back and forth, i just have another browser handy and pull that up when you want to go to sites that you know work better in desktop mode. ;D i have dolphin send a desktop ua all the time, the stock browser android.

I have been watching HBOgo and Cinemaxgo through the browser every since I got the Acer 500a. I was so excited to be able to watch HBO on "the go" on a bigger screen than my iPhone 4. I heard today that they are supposed to have the "Go apps" available for all platforms in ist a couple of months. I hope my ears were not deceiving me. It would be a lot easier.

Where to place epub files in Nook App?

Where do you place epub files so that the nook app will detect it?

I place mine on my uSD. Makes it easy to locate and use. Have not tried the Nook App as I find Aldiko more to my liking. Have read the Nook App "loses" files. Not sure if that's replicated.

Put them in the same place the app is storing the Nook books. If you don't have any yet, download a free book or free preview so you can see where it ends up.

That is if that is where her's are stored. I set mine up so everything was installed on the eMMC because I was having issues with the app trying to read large books off the card.

I use the app Overdrive for epub books. Great app and it works flawlessly.
Just my 2 pennies.

Actually, I placed the books on both the uSD ad eMMC, same.directories. Nook app still doesn't detect it. Ill be trying aldiko.

When you opened the nook app did you select my files instead of books? For some reason this is where the side loaded epubs will appear.

Mine would only read epubs from the sdcard so I suggested that directory as the most likely spot for success.

Guess many of us are finding little quirks in the Nook app.....

I gave up using the nook app altogether! I use aldiko now and It's very good.

Cool Reader is an excellent app 2 read epubs (and plenty of other formats for that matter). It also will pull and detect any book stored. You can even pull them from your emmc( w/o using root explorer to move them to sd).. I like it better than adilko. Only downfall is it supports everything other than PDF.oh..u can bookmark any page, and it formats any book beautifully to your liking in settings.

On my NC, Nook App won't work if there is no external uSD plugged in.
Just simple can't read anything from eMMC (or I don't know how to set it to look through other folders)

Uninstall the app, delete any folders it may have created, then go into the CM settings for applications and change the location apps are installed from automatic to internal. Reboot and reinstall the app. Then you can change the settings back and the app will now stay on the internal memory as will all B&N downloaded books, papers, etc.

I'm not 100% but 99% pretty sure that I had done that setup for my NC when I first installed the CM7 onto eMMC. I haven't checked back for long time.
I'll take a look at it and re-install the app and see what happens.
Thanks m8

Hope it works for you. I could not open any books other than small previews and periodicals until I did that.

I JUST (I mean literally an hour ago) rooted my nook color to cm7 and I too am wondering where to put my books! I have a bunch I didn't get from the bn store that are currently on my computer. I assume that the books I didn't buy with BN will be easy to transfer to Adilko, but how do you get books from your nook library into Adilko?

[Q] Read pdf on rooted KF

Hi all,
My KF has been rooted and it has Go Launcher on it. However I can't open pdf file even it recognizes the file (the adobe acrobat icon next to the file name). Whenever I try to open the file, there's always a pop-up screen asking me to register to Amazon (I already created an account before but no matter how arduous I try, I'm not able to log in). Please advise

thanks for the suggestion, but I would like to use KF's native pdf reader instead of using another app.

Well, If you do not want to take someones advice why ask for help?

only way you are going to use the kindles native reader is f you install all of the amazon system apps and have the core libraries functioning.... which can be done with careful mod work on cm7 but isnt worthwhile imho.

Thanks for your explanation, I guess I don't have other choices beside installing another pdf reader app then.

[Help] Docs Stopped Working

My documents are not opening on the "Amazon Launcher" anymore.
Once i touch the file on the grid, it "flashes" (indicating the "click/touch") but nothing happens.
Also, my Documents on the "sdcard" folder are not showing up on the "Device" tab, is there any specific folder i have to put them ?
I installed two apps "Quick Office" and "Office Suite", i dont know if it makes any difference but, who knows.
What can be happening?
Info : Rooted 6.3 Kindle Fire - No Custom Rom
Thanks in advance.

Bumping Thread.
Sorry for doing this, but, i need to make the documents tab work

The location of the document folder is user configurable through setting option as part of office application. You may create a new folder to store your docs or you can use icloude services.

Im not sure if im too late, but i had a similar problem, and i read in a thread a ways back that to solve this, you need to go to system/app/kindleforotter.apk reinstall the app using root explorer or something similar. It solved my issue with this, i hipe it does yours.

Solved using your method.
I reinstalled the App, and forced a sync.
After sync is done, i could be able to make it work.
Thanks, really ! ! !
