Is it possible to access G1 SD drive over WiFi?

I would like to access my G1 SD drive over WiFi to transfer files. Is this possible?

try aFile in market
wrong section?

I bet we could get Samba running on this thing pretty easily

I like this app called Discover. Gives you a web interface to your phone's filesystem.

aFile works great.

Please please do

had a few mate of mine going wow when i showed them this

Cross-compiling Samba is a major pain in the ass! Going to try to get it working though.

i think ftp / scp will be much simplier...
btw you can mount the device as a webdev share if you use afile

In the marketplace, download OM ANTuner. It's excellent! It currently only allows downloads thru your computer browser, and I sent a request for the dev to include read and write capability to and from the android, also compatibility over GPRS/EDGE/3G. I was getting 800-1000Kb/sec transfer speeds!

aList has been working great for me the pass couple of days. Its really slick how fast it works and its easy to use.
Does OM ANTuner do anything that aList doesnt?

I'm using SwiFTP
Set my home router to always give me the same DHCP reservation.. I then use a good FTP client (On a Mac so I use Cyberduck)... basically just start SwiFTP's server and have the FTP client connect... brain dead simple.
Use it to transfer my iTunes music (non DRM tracks) from iTunes to a folder then drag to Cyberduck and other files.

There's a new app that showed up in the market over the past day or two search by date. It's an obvious name but seems to be read only.

Om sdcard wifi access is what it is called.

Any PDF viewers for rooted G1?

Search returned nothing. Thanks.

Picked this up from another thread.
It is ThinkFree from an Android netbook - Archos:
Works just fine. Takes a little bit to convert the pdf - but, it doesn't need internet communication to do so like many of the other apps.
Wish we could get a 1.6 version of PDF viewer!
I got it from this thread:
Archos 5 Internet Tablet Apps & Media
Download the app folder and install "tfmobile-archos_Archos5-release.apk"

There's one that comes with the newest CyamgenMod

There isn't a pdf viewer in the new cyanogen roms. And the old viewer does not work with the new roms either.

Consider one of these
http://www.cyrket.com/package/com.cerience.reader.app
http://www.cyrket.com/package/com.westtek.jetcetpdf
http://www.cyrket.com/package/com.dataviz.docstogo

I don't know about the ones posted above... But, I have downloaded and tried out a couple of pdf apps that required the app to communicate/transfer data to the internet to convert the pdf to read on Android.
I can tell you for sure that ThinkFree works on 1.6 and requires no internet connection to convert data/read pdf's.

Android PDF viewer(beta/demo) has worked ok for me, on CM 4.1.999.
Its free on the market and does not use the internet to view.

Book works on stock reader but not on Nook for Android in CM7

Recently after my SD card somehow killed itself after installing the ManualNooter thing for the 1.2 update (I really don't think it was their fault, by the way) I decided to just take the plunge and start using CM 7 on a regular basis (in other words, heck with dealing with the B and N updates). Very impressive by the way, it's much more stable for me than it was when I first tried it shortly after it was released.
Anyway, I was wondering if anyone had ever had a book that worked fine on the stock Nook Color software not work with the Nook for Android marketplace app? It's the weirdest thing. It downloads fine (as do all my books) but just won't load. All my other books work. If anyone has any ideas, please share them, it's driving me crazy. I've tried everything I can think of (reinstaling app, logging out and back in, deleting the book completely and redownloading...) short of trying another SD card, since I don't have spare at the moment.
It's a complete collection of Sherlock Holmes, by the way. Great stuff.

I found a solution! I'm going to share it here in case anyone else runs into this problem with a book. What I ended up doing was decrypting the book and then copying it to the My Documents folder within the Nook folder, it worked after that (although that begs the question "Why on earth didn't it work in the first place?"). I kind of think we aren't allowed to link to such things so I won't, but I did a quick search and found an absurdly easy to use suite of tools for decrypting eBooks one has purchased from various sellers.

Alright, not to bump my own topic, but this information is somewhat related. I keep seeing people say that Magazine Subscriptions don't work on the Market reader. While this is true in that you can't make them, or download the magazines, I've found that I can use the website to manage/download the magazines (well, that and subscribe to things), and they work perfectly fine if I then copy them into the documents folder within the Nook folder on my SD card. It's less convenient, but there you have it. Why they don't just add full magazine support in I'm not sure.
Just a tip. My next step after 'fixing' the previous book was to see if my magazines worked.

Are you saying that B&N Magazine Subscriptions can be used with the Android Nook app under CM7?
Can you link to where you download magazines? What file type does it download as?

Another problem with the B&N Android app is that you don't see the book cover for all the sideloaded books in the MY Documents folder. It shows up just fine on the stock reader.
Anyway, I've given up on the B&N market app. Started using Moon reader and Aldiko.

Aye, same. I've purchased Moon+ for the Text-to-Speech capabilities but still looking for a way to get my GF's magazines working on her NC with minimal hassle.

Well, if you sign into your account on the Barnes and Noble website, you can go to the newsstand to subscribe/unsubscribe to magazines and what have you (since you can't on the app itself). If you go to your Library when logged in, you'll see all your books. You have to click on the Magazines heading on that bar on the left there to see them (This link should take you there). You should see a download button for the current issue as well as a recent issues thing you can click on to get past issues you've received.
As for your second question, it's an ePub, though as a sidenote the DRM is different than what's used on the regular books apparently (or at least SOMETHING is different). Still works when read in the Market B&N app though (it HAS to be in the My Documents folder. Won't show up otherwise, in my experience). It is true that you won't see the cover, but to me that's a minor annoyance compared to it not working at all.

I must be missing something. I subscribed to a Nook magazine on the B&N website from my PC, but it won't let me download it to my PC. I don't see any link from the nook app to magazines. What am I doing wrong?

It's not in the magazine section of your Library on the Barnes and Noble website? Also, you won't see a link in the Nook app itself for magazines. After I got it from the website I had to copy it to the appropriate folder on the SD card (as said about "Nook/My Documents"). Also, make sure you refresh on the first screen of the Nook app in order to get it to see them. Sometimes it takes a second.
*edit*
Another way you can do it is to use the PC Nook program to download it (since it supports magazines). After you download the magazines in that case, you'll find them in your Documents folder, in "My Barnes & Noble eBooks\[email protected]"

Aaaaaah...apparently some subscriptions are Nook Color only, some aren't. I apologize, I only just now realized this. I tried a trial subscription of PC Gamer and it did what you described...on the page for that magazine it says Nook Color under the "Read exclusively on this..." blah blah line on the page. The only subscription I tried ("Asimov's Science Fiction") is available on PC and everything else.
I'd guess that if you downloaded it with the stock Nook software you could copy it off and then read it on the marketplace app, but that doesn't do a fat lot of good I suppose. Sadly it looks like a bunch of them ARE Nook Color exclusive. I guess I just lucked out...sorry to get everyone excited. It's too bad there's probably no way to spoof yourself as a Nook Color.

No, if you click on the name of the magazine/newspaper it will say part way down the page. When I said "tried" I should have said "looked at on the webpage". You might have to click on it, the thing that says something like "Read Exclusively on these apps and devices:" in the little informational section next to the picture.

This is unfortunate that only some newspapers work and others don't. Chicago Tribune is available on nook for android but my WSJ is not. Gonna have to keep my dual boot BN1.2 stock and CM7/2.3 and flip back and forth. Arghhh!

Suggestions for an eReader

I just got a NST which I plan on rooting. I am looking for an eReader which will allow me to sync epub books accross my NST, phone, tablet and PC. Any suggestions?

I've used Moon+ and FBReader with FBSync and I'm about to start testing Aldiko with sync soon. I liked the simplicity of FBReader but it didn't seem to play nicely with the text formatting (no italicized text) and I had to manually run FBSync to save the position. Moon+ displayed the content better and when the sync worked it was perfect. It would automatically sync the latest position no matter what device I was reading on...when it worked. Of the two books I have tried I made it through the first without a problem but the second is not syncing properly and I can't seem to get it to behave itself.
So far for me nothing seems to be 100% perfect.

Well, I seem to recall Mantano has some sort of sync feature, thought I haven't made use of it, content as I am with calibre. I'd recommend checking that one out, since Mantano itself is an excellent app.

PC Calibre+Dropbox - library is in dropbox folder (folder A)
NOOK build in reader+Dropsynch - folder A is synch with /media/books
PHONE(ANDR.) some epub reader+Dropsynch - folder A is synch with /sdcard/books (or where you need)
TABLET(ANDR.) some epub reader+Dropsynch - folder A is synch with /sdcard/books (or where you need)

I just rooted over the weekend and have tried a few programs in the hopes of being able to sync the Nook Simple Touch with my Nook Tablet and phone. Therefore I've only tried programs which contain synchronization of current place/page. Here is what I've found so far:
Moon+ Reader: Has built in synchronization which worked well with the other devices but I cannot get it to work at all with the Nook Simple Touch. I've noted comments from others saying either it isn't working at all or works intermittently.
Aldiko Reader: Worked initially but then the program stopped loading. I've subsequently read that older versions will work. The sync program is a separate program which did load. I haven't done a sync yet as the main program stopped working. As opposed to the other two programs mentioned here, it does not use the Nook's built in buttons.
Mantano Reader: Best integrated with the NST of the programs I've tried. Uses built in buttons and if you use the Nook's program to list books you are given a choice of loading with built in reader versus Mantano. It uses a cloud based system to synchronize so I have not tried it yet. There is a free trial and a few different tiers for the paid version--$2 per month looked like the one which I bet most users will wind up using.
One problem with these add on readers--page turning is slower than with the built-in reader with it taking longer for the pages to refresh. I'm going to have to try this some more to decide whether the potential of synchronizing pages is worth the decrease in performance. At this point, if I am going to go with synchronization Mantano looks like the best choice (but I do want to try installing an older version of Aldiko to see how its speed is). I might also unroot the NST and use Moon+ to synchronize my phone and tablet and go back to trying to remember my place when changing between NST and other devices.

I might as well add information on a couple of other readers which I've had to reject for my purposes but which others might find useful:
FBReader: Program available to sync but not working on my phone (Galaxy Nexus). I've heard it is working with ICS on some other phones
Cool Reader: I do not believe it has any ability to synchronize but might be worth checking out as there is a version with more control over refreshing pages made for the Nook. I have not tried it but it sounds like it does refresh as quickly as the built in reader. It also works with the Nook's buttons. Information here: http://blog.the-ebook-reader.com/20...artial-refresh-and-page-button-support-video/
It looks like there are several options but no one program which does what I want If only Cool Reader would add synchronization or if Moon+ would develop a version optimized for the Nook.

I've been playing around with this a little more. I sort of got fbsync to work. There were two issues. First, I found that there is an su.zip file which works better with the Galaxy Nexus than the file I had used. Once I flashed that I was able to get fbsync to load. I also tried changing the file format on my phone to match that of the Nook Simple Touch and Tablet--moving books to SD/My Files/Books.
It does work but on a couple of tests not perfectly. I suspect that being a third party add on program affects how it works. Being free, this is something worth trying but don't rely 100% on it. On one test it did move the current page backwards to where I left off on one device as opposed to the last actual page.
Mantano does give a ten day free trial for synching and Mantano has the advantage of using the built in buttons of the Nook ST. I think I'm going to give it a try and if it works better than synching on FBReader go with the $2/month plan. Mantano has one minor problem. Listing books by author goes in order of first name, while FBRreader does order by last name. I might use Calibre to change the order of the names to last name then first name so they will be in the correct order on Mantano and reload my library.

I've been using aldiko for months now. No crashes or problems. I would definitely recommend it!

Mantano
Hi, I have recently rooted my NSTG. Same need of sync exposed in previous posts across the NSTG, my TF-201 tablet and my i9100 phone. Got Mantano Premium. Good app, good integration with any of my devices. Sync relatively well (sometimes it miss but for just for one page. I recommed it.

I've been using CoolReader, as the refresh is handled brilliantly, and you can even set how many pages between full-screen refreshes.
Unfortunately I have not figured out synch yet, and the dev has talked about adding synch but I can't find any reference to progress.
How does Mantano do on refresh? Is it settable like CoolReader?

I tried to install it says it require ministro service... Any advice?

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.

- I get "Database Open Error!. Check Your Permissions" on start. (I have right permissions for SD)
- scanning does not add books. It only displays the number of the books in folder.
- You can move folders in QT file manager. You can potentially screw up your system by doing that.

Thank for the app, looks really nice!
Is there any way to get it to search for books in the internal memory as well? most of my books aren't on the sdcard.
Also, I'd love to have some sort of filtering or sorting by extension, to seperate pdfs from books and such.
