Hey all. I've got my new nc all rooted and happy,i just set aldiko up and noticed it doesnt save progress after the app closes like it does on my droid. Is there any way to remedy this? Thanks in advance!
You can add a bookmark from the app menu. I think it resets to the beginning of the chapter you were in after you close the app and reopen it.
I would like an answer to the original question, too. While the bookmark functionality is nice, I would also like Aldiko to remember where it closed.

I am having force close problems with my Kindle app. I have installed the update and all new features like dictionary search and the like cause a force close. When I press the home button to exit the application while reading I also get a force close error. Luckily the program is still saving my spot. I have searched for more information and there are a few reviews in market talking about this problem, but that's all I can find.
I have reset permissions. Uninstalled and reinstalled the update. I have removed the Verizon version with titanium backup, and reinstalled with regular market version.
I am rooted, DI01, and deBinged. I am noticing some applications just do not work on the Fascinate for what ever reason, like new wifi Skype. Is this something I can fix, or do i just need to hold off for an update?
I loved mobipocket on my bb storm. I like Kindle too but I wish I could get it to work correctly. Any help, advice, or comments are greatly appreciated.
Bump.
I'm on the Aria but am having the same problem. I'm assuming it's some process/app interfering w/ it, but I have no idea what it could be.
Any help would be appreciated.
This will show you my installed apps through App Brain. I don't think that is the problem though.

Is there a better reader than Kindle? I am suprised that more people have not had this problem.
Better readers are, Aldiko and moon+ reader, get Aldiko then look on drinkmalk.com for how to getbooks, read em with moon+

I have found FBReader and am very happy as I can still use mobipocket files. This artical also shows how to keep in sync with your dropbox account.

I'm working on my wife's and mother-in-law's NCs for Christmas. I don't want to replace the stock nook launcher, because both will be doing a lot of reading on the devices, and LauncherPro might make it a bit harder to use for the mother-in-law.
Is there an app that can launch just the app drawer from the notification tray? Since the stock nook launcher doesn't update new apps until you reboot, I thought that something sitting in the tray that could open all the apps on the device would be handy.
I've been looking all morning and was hoping that somebody here knows of something like that. Thanks!
Found something: in case anybody else has a need similar to mine, here is a two-app solution that I figured out.
App 1: Appicker. This app is sort of like an app drawer, it has some better features but it works just fine for launching apps.
App 2: Quick Launch. Quick launch is what makes the magic happen. It lets you set an app to launch with certain button presses. I went into the settings of this app and set Appicker to launch when I double click the home button.
Note: Appicker could be replaced by any other app launching app that you find that's better. I saw some others, like TaskOS, and I'm going to compare them all.
Let us know if you find a better solution. I'm outfitting a NC for a Christmas gift myself.
I went with adw launcher and configured it to open the app drawer with an upswipe.
Between that and the library tab being in the middle of the launcher I think my 80 yr old mom has it figured
Galaxy Tabs.....Worth every penny!!
the best way is to install soft keys...press the 'n' and have home set to soft keys.
then install your fav launcher and have the 'n' to always open that launcher.
wen you press the 'n' it will take you to the downloaded launcher but wen u press the soft keys home button it will take you to the original nook color home
this is wut I did for my moms nook color

SoftKeys is free, it works great. If you have some other need that it can't serve, post what it is. HTH.
I just got my galaxy s (captivate the other day), so I'm still new to the interface.
Anyway, some web page was crashing the browser every time, so I decided to try another browser. I found firefox in the app store and sure enough, ff could load the page that kept crashing the default android browser. So, i'd love to set firefox to be the default browser.
Can anyone help me figure out how?

Are you on stock or using a replacement launcher?
And if you click links from apps and stuff it should ask you which you want to use, just tap the check mark and select firefox.
Many thanks for the prompt reply. I'm on rooted stock (that sounds very botanical). You think maybe I need an aftermarket loader? I've seen some mention of app loaders, but don't really know what one is.
I did notice that links to web urls give me the chance to choose a browser. But, I'm also interested in changing the link on the bottom of my homescreen. Will a new launcher help with that?
Thanks for any advice.
LaucherPro is a great launcher... Fast and highly customizable. It will allow to change the icon and shortcut in your dock to FF. You can find it in the market.

I haven't been on the stock launcher for a long time, but I know you can change that icon by pressing 'menu' and selecting edit on the app drawer.
But a new launcher is always recommended, I use launcher pro as well

you can change the shortcut in the default touchwiz dock as well.......................... open app tray, hit the menu softkey, edit, customizable grid... drag the icons you don't want on the tray off. drag the icons that you want on the tray on. menu key, alphabetical grid (to fix the icons you dragged out), save.
Hey,
I just rooted my Nook and the first thing after setting everything up was downloading Angry Birds. But the Apps neither shows up at the Superuser List, nor in the normal "Extras" List. The only way to start it is over the marketplace. Anyone knows how to fix this?
I think I had to reboot before it showed up. That would be my advice.

Okay, gonna try this. Thank you! Unfortunately my battery is empty, so I have to wait now^^
This happened to me when I was using the stock home screen. It should show up after rebooting. The problem is easily solved by changing your launcher. I have been pretty happy with Zeam. You may want to search the forum for more on this.
Just rebooted and now all Apps are displayed. Awesome. I am so happy that I rooted the NOOK
So I just got the Note recently and so far I'm liking it (came from Iphone 4).... BUT, 1 thing that has GOT TO CHANGE!!! Is..... when I open stock browser and open tabs, if I close the browser and then go back to it my tabs are all gone!!! And it just shows home page...
Has anyone figured this out?? I haven't installed any task manager stuff. I need to get this fixed though. Is there a fix for this?
I've tried searching this forum and google but don't see much info. Most of the stuff I see says to uninstall task killers, but I didn't install anything just stock task manager for the Note.
I've tried different browsers also but none of them really seem to keep the tabs open, it is very annoying
Any ideas?
bump for friday!!!
This is more of a workaround.
Instead of exiting the browser with the back button, press the home button. When you go back to the browser (by long pressing the home button to access the running tasks) the tabs should still be there.
Probably best to have put this in the Q&A section
Thanks for the reply!! But this is what I'm doing... even that doesn't work. In fact, I don't use the back button too much, I mostly use the home button...
There is no fix for this? Can someone tell me the cause of it? Is it something to do with a Samsung task manager? Is there a new task manager I can install or seomthing I can tweak in the OS? Perhaps seomething in the browser config or task manager config?
I don't have this problem... especially with Dolphin Browser. Those bloody tabs persist after reboots. It is a pain in the arse to get rid of them, you have to kill them manually.
Any body else know a fix??
Maybe I'll try firefox see how that works. I did d/l dolphin but haven't tried yet
You can install ZDbox, it is an app that was developed by an Xda member. It has a task killer incorporated within the app where you can put the browser in the protected apps by long pressing and adding it. After you do this, the app will not be closed if you kill all other apps.
Let me know if it resolves the issue. (it is available for free in the market)
Why are you using stock browser anyway . It's crap . I never managed to download anything with it . And after " download " it can't parse it . Use OPERA MOBILE . ( NOT mini ) . You'll thank me later

Ok I tried ZDbox, however the browser doesnt even show up in the process list of ZDbox lol... It shows up in my task manager, but not in ZDbox.
I will just use a different browser... I see so many browsers, which is best? How does Opera compare with Firefox? I kinda like Maxthon also, but it isn't saving my tabs either
Download Opera. It's the fastest browser, as it uses hardware acceleration.
Its not witht stock browser. If you are opening too many apps and then press Home key, the Android system will put the browser to sleep but it keeps it in memory. If you launch another app at this point which asks for more RAM than there is available, Android will start exiting the apps that are residing in the memory. When that happens, the browser could also be force closed by the system. Dunno how to fix that since I am not a dev.
If you use other browsers, you wont have the GPU acceleration and hence smoothness, in my opinion.
Just my 2 cents.

The two of you should talk: his tabs don't stay and yours are hurting your ass
So how is everyone with the Note fixing or getting around this? I'm trying Opera now...
Well, after using the Opera browser... i gotta say I like it. EXCEPT it doesn't remember my tabs either!! It seems like none of the browsers are working right with tabs... unless i'm doing soemething wrong? Is there any way to remember tabs in opera mobile?
When I press the back button on Dolphin it ask if I want to close the browser or minimize it.
What would be nice is.... like Safari on iphone... if you kill it, it still opens up with all your tabs... or a desktop firefox, it always allows you to restore your previous session/tabs...
I HAVE to keep tabs open, instead of re-opening 5 pages/tabs evertime the browser just feels like forgetting them
Anybody know about the great Note browser mystery??
How long after you press home are you checking, if you leave it in sleep mode for some time, android will kill the high power consuming processes and that is why your tabs are not getting stored...
I think what you want is a browser which remembers your previous tabs and reload all of them whenever you open a browser.. i dont think stock or dolphin or opera has such an option, did you try the mobile version of firefox.. maybe it remebers tabs...
And to those people this is not about multitasking... it is just that he wants the browser to remember his tabs so that it can reload itself everytime a new instance opens...

YES!! thank you..thats exactly right! i've tried so many browsers so far and have yet to find one that does!! It seems so weird to me that none of these browsers have a session restore or tab restore option. let me try firefox... i haven't really tried it yet. BUT i just read firefox for andoird DOES have hardware acceleration... I'M ON IT! will report back
After using FF for a bit...I can report it is the same as other browsers There is no session restore and it closes my tabs also. When I launch it, it shows me my "previously closed tabs" but it won't let me restore them all......I have to click on each one to restore
So this is still a aproblem
