I'm not able to get this to work.
I can successfully log into DropBox, but can't actually open any books. Get the error "DropBox exception: forbidden". When I try to log in using SkyDrive, it authorizes, but has now spent 2 minutes "loading".
I am try connect to DropBox and all work fine. Where are you from? Maybe problem access to dropbox over API. SkyDrive not fast service, dropbox more faster. Dou you use 3G or Wifi connection?
Using wifi.
I'm from Seattle, Wa, USA.
thank you for this apps

I have been missing Pandora since I switched from my iPhone to the G1 and I must say I got really excited when I saw the FlashPlayer embeded in the latest Hero build. So, I decided to try to get it working.
I loaded up the mini player from pandora.com and saved the .swf file to my sdcard and launched FlashPlayer (using Astro's application manager). It found the swf and even begins to load. I get about 50% and then I am greated with a message saying that it will not work if I don't share my info (aka a cookie with my subscriber number)
If I can get the browser to let me log in and set a cookie, I might be able to get to the next step. Unfortunately, Pandora.com does browser detection and flags the android browser as unsupported.
Any ideas?

Search around and see if there is an easy way to change the browsers useragent. I'm not sure if it's possible, but by the sounds of it, that's what needs to be done.
Maybe try to get a hold of the guy who made the "Steel" web browser, the one available in the market. He has a setting to allow you to set the browser to be recognized as a Desktop or iPhone browser.
Nice work here though, didn't think Flash was that far along on the Hero build.
Does anyone know where/how the browser stores cookies? Could get the cookie strings from a desktop, insert them into the phone (sqlite db, maybe?)
i actually emailed pandora the other day asking about android apps. here is the response. (email and name removed to prevent possible spamming)
Thanks very much for writing. We really appreciate your vote for the G1. I just got a G1 myself and would love to have Pandora on it. I can tell you that we have started working on an application for the Android platform. However, I do not have a time line or ETA for when it will be released.
Please stay tuned to our "On the Go" page for updates: www.pandora.com/on-the-go
Thanks for listening in the meantime!

I recently published my ReelPortal video chat/conference software for Android 2.2 (using Adobe AIR 2.5) at the AppsLib market:
http://appslib.com/applications/app.html?ida=31520
I don't have a G Tablet, but would like to compile a list of devices that the app works on. So I'm looking for testers out there.
Please provide feedback if you try it. Thanks.
For more info on testing, please visit www.ReelPortal.com.
I just added another version reelportalX.apk (version 1.0.1). This version is working fine now. I suggest using it instead of the older one.
You must get Adobe AIR 2.5.1 from Android Market, or you can download the Adobe AIR SDK (http://www.adobe.com/products/air/sdk/), and get it in subdirectory runtimes\air\android\emulator, or runtimes\air\android\device. I found that Adobe doesn't allow posting the AIR apk on a website. Note: don't use the AIR link in post #6.
If you want to test chat with other folks around the world, please join the "xda" room (all lower case). Capacity is limited .
firewater2003:
Install Adobe Air 2.5.1 from here: http://download.pandaapp.com/?app=soft&controller=android&action=show&f_id=2291
Beware of TNT dashboard:
MoonPops: I kept getting the black screen while starting up ReelPortal in the TNT dashboard home, but it works fine in the Android Home Classic screen interface.
Firmwares that were confirmed to work:
Stock TNT 3588 (do NOT use TNT dashboard)
TnT 4.1.0
TNT lite 5.01
VEGAn-TAB-v1.0.0B5.1
can not find adobe air in market... running tnt 3.1.2
when I launch reelportal app, it get a blank screen
I did find adobe air 2.5 and installed it from another source.
I installed Adobe Air and your. apk and everything installed fine. Web cam and interface came up and seems to work fine. Only problem is, I don't have anyone to chat with, so I don't know how well that works......lol.
worked between my Droid 1 and my Gtablet.

Hi,
I found this:
http://reelportal.blogspot.com/
Is this your website?
If I'm understanding how this works (when it works), these chats go through your chat server, and the way that we would do one-to-one video chats would basically to "join" a chat on your chat server?
Thanks,
Jim
Installed air and reelportal. Just a black screen for me too, running TnT lite 3.1.3

Jim:
Yes, that's my "readme" page for my ReelPortal dot com site. Sorry I'm not allowed to post any links .
You are correct on the server. It routes the data from the clients to each other. However, the clients can also do peer-2-peer with each other (this is the default mode). When first started, the clients all connect to my server to sign on. The server checks for name conflict and room availability, and authorizes the session. If you are in a room, the server connects you to all the clients in the room automatically. Of course, you can call individual person if you know their name(nick). You can also disconnect from any client you want.
In p2p mode, all video/audio traffic goes directly from client to client(s). The server doesn't have to process it. If you select client/server mode, then the server receives your stream and distribute it to all subscribing clients. This lessen your uplink bandwidth if you have multiple subscribers.
The next version will allow you to specify your own server. And yes, you can run your own server on linux, windows, or macOS. And perhaps other platforms too, if you are inclined to do so. An older server version is currently available from my download page, but I will release the newer version in conjunction with the next client.

To test, you can actually call yourself . Once connected, press button 7 (P2P), and select "Send to Server" mode. Then, press one of the "blue head" on the right, then press the ">" button on the dialog. A list will appear, and your nickname is the always the first one on the list. Click it, and you should see your own stream feeding back to you. Basically:
Your video ----> Server -----> Your device
Or if you have a computer, just run the web client on your computer, join the same room on both devices, or call the other's nick to establish connection. Hope that helps.

If it's a blank white screen, then perhaps it's not finding the server. Is your internet connection available or slow? Ideally, I should have some status indicator to be a bit more user friendly.
I also tried the adobe air file posted here, but reelportal apk only opens to a blank screen still. What are we doing wrong?

Thanks. Apparently, the front camera can't be access at this time . I googled this:
"AIR does not currently support the front camera.
In fact, the Android OS does not natively support the front camera. The device manufacturer provides a separate Java library that makes the camera available to Java apps."
I wonder if Android 2.3 supports multiple cams.
Also, is the front camera access problem the same for all tablet devices? Or is it device dependent?
To answer my own question: android 2.3 supports multiple cameras.

What's calibre?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
Its an ebook reader manager program
I use Mantano Reader (the only one I found that actually renders books properly - the rest are all trash) and setup its feed to read Calibre's OPDS catalog, then download epubs over Wifi. Simply go to 'My bookstores' and click the icon on the right under 'My feeds' to add a new feed. Give it a name, then type in
Code:
<ip address of PC on your LAN>:8080/opds
as the url. Go to Calibre's preferences and click 'Sharing over the net', then 'Start Server' and boom you can browse your entire Calibre catalog on your Nexus 7, ordered any way you like (Author, title, series, tags, etc) - no need to plug it in and sync.
Other ereader programs like Moon+ Reader, Aldiko and FBReader will also support opds.
I just output my epubs to disk (harddrive) and copy them to the Nexus 7. It'd be nice if calibre supported MTP or made it easier.
I have my calibre attach to my drop box, since books don't take up a lot of storage space. Epub format ONLY. I just download book i read with drop box. incase you didnt wanna load all your books.

This is what I do. I had a mare trying to get Calibre to recognise my Nexi. Two days I tried for. If anyone manages it please post here. The next joy was trying to get Aldiko to display my book covers.
I just use the web interface (OPDS) with any relevant eReader (Moon+ and FBReader both work fine with it). That works just fine.

I've just changed my copy of Calibre from a Sony ereader to a smartphone and it works. Are you sure your USB drivers are installed and working? - If you open Windows Explorer you should see "Nexus" in the same section as your hard drives, cd etc.and if you click on Nexus you should see Internal Memory and clicking again shows the folders you can access.
For the official USB drivers go to http://support.asus.com/Download.aspx?SLanguage=en&m=Nexus%207&p=20&s=16

I have been having the same problem with my Nexus 7. My solution was to export my epub ebooks from Dropbox to the B&N Nook android app.
It works one book at a time but is kind of cludgy plus it requires the extra step of putting epubs in Dropbox. Your solution is much slicker. I tried it with the free version of Mantano. I plan to upgrade to the premium version. Thanks for providing a nice solution. :victory:

Calibre does not support MTP and will only sync to devces that mount as 'usb storage' - i.e., not Nexus devices...from what i've read the developer doesn't plan on changing this
if you have a large library copy all your books to a folder on your N7, then use your N7's ereader app to import the books...after the initial set up new books would need to be added one by one...if you rely on tags and don't want your tags messed with, do NOT use Aldiko...i tested most ereader apps some time ago and Mantano and Moon+ were the only ones which read calibre tags properly and did not add anything...i stuck with Moon+ as it can sync my reading status across multiple books (syncs to Dropbox) so no matter which device i open a book with i can go to the last page read
also, as an alternative to the previously mentioned opds setup which is only accessible if you are on your home wifi, if you want to view your library from any browser and download to your device wherever you have an internet connection (or just share your library with your mates), you can set up a No-IP account...with that, the No-IP DUC client, your Calibre library located within a public folder in Dropox, you can host your own books as a 'net library' directly accessible from within Moon+ as well as via a standard url (eg, http://name.no-ip.org:1234)...this setup is simply PERFECTION!

Something to be careful about: Looks like Dropbox is getting pissy about publicly-accessible libraries. So if you do this, don't go telling people about it.

Chances of that depend on how many mates you have, I suppose... Calibre2opds's html layer does increase the visibility, but it's pretty trivial these days to do a blind scan for open opds catalogs. You just need to be aware of the dangers.
Thanks For the tips everyone. Will give it another go tonight. I have moon+pro

Ok I got the ministro app now...I didn't know it was an app thought it was a missing service.
Here's what I've seen the recent is miss spelled.(you spelled it racent)
Are you trying to pull the author and title from the file description? I have all of miner formatted with calibre and I see allot of wrong infoor unknown.
Navigating the menu to have it search for my books was hard to find.. when you select a book to read it no longer asks which reader you want to use it just uses the one at the top of the list.
Hope my info helps you perfect it.
Also I would have rather not had to add a new service to use app. Less is better for battery.

Yes, you are correct. I've been trying out v. 1.7.7, which is that same as in your link.
I like it a lot except for two minor issues: the TTS does not work (a very minor issue) on the NST, although if you install the app on another device with native audio support it does work properly, and (more significantly for me), there is no way to address the Library directly. Unlike the author of FBReader, this author has made all of the various activities private so there is no way of accessing them from outside the app. I've been looking at the Android Manifest in the decompiled app, trying to decide if this can be "fixed". I've seen references to dealing with this issue before but now when I want then I can't locate them

Ah, yes... Well, I would never use the NST for TTS, so that's no problem for me. As for the library... I take it you mean in the underlying code? Out of interest: what would you use it for? I basically use ReLaunchX to locate the book I want (in my own directory-based library) and open it with Alreader.
The one thing I wish Alreader would provide, myself, is a cover image of the current book to use as a screensaver on the Nook. But that's a minor issue.

I have to confess that I hate Relaunch. I use a more traditional Android structure, including ES File Explorer, but that's not a nice way to browse for books. On two devices I have the B&N system and on one for experimentation I have removed all that and am trying out different readers. I miss the Library.

I never really used the B&N Library app in the first place, I always immediately rooted my Nook and browsed for books in the directory structure, so that helps... Also my meta-data is always a mess so using a real library app wouldn't really work well for me, anyway.

You probably have more experience with AlReader than I do so I thought I'd pose a question which I have not been able to answer.
Is there a way to center the page number in the status bar? I don't have any of the other stuff showing in the status bar but I do want to see the page number, even in full screen. What I don't like is to see it floating at some small indentation from the left margin. You can center the title/author in the Header (which I do not have visible in full screen), but why not the page number? I think the answer is perhaps that the developer wanted to cram in all the other possibilities in the status bar and so each has a certain space allotted to it. I hope not.
I've pored through the settings xml file for AlReader but I can't make sense of much of it. Too many obscure abbreviations. I can't even find the line for centering the title/author in the Header.
Any ideas?
Edit: I made a tiny bit of headway, identifying variables in the xml file that control some aspects of the header and footer. However, as sometimes happens with these files, when you make a change and save the file, the values have reverted back if you return for another look. I'm assuming that the master data must be held in a database so I'll look at that tomorrow.
Edit-Edit: Nope, nope and nope. The databases are all about books. So the values are hidden in the app itself (library files or jars perhaps, who knows?). I spent way too much time squinting at the smali files from the decompiled app but it's just all so much mush to me. Not even a hint that resembles English as to how items are positioned. It's a pity that one of the choices in the Header was not "page". If that were true I'd switch the Header with the Status bar and the problem would be solved. The "page number/chapter" I find useless. Oh well....nothing is perfect.
External library app
I have a ton of bookmarks for NST/G stuff that I was reorganizing this morning and in the process came across this app: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nook-touch/themes-apps/library-app-t2823169
I haven't put it through the wringer yet, so to speak, but it looks reasonably good and books open in whatever the default reader is. If it's reliably functional it may serve as a general library app for whatever reader one chooses. Perhaps worth a look.
