i havnt had a chance to try it yet but with my og nook i used software called calibre to convert cbz/r of manga to epub files that worked fine you might want to try that and then read with the default reader though i dont know how well it will handle scaling
thats actually the reason reason ive been wanting to lol. never been into comics but a few pages of WD and i was hooked!
I'm using ACV and it works. The menu and back buttons don't appear, but I assigned menu to long press and settings to upper left.
In landscape mode, it doesn't scale to the edges. Only the center portion of the screen is used. Hopefully that's something that will be addressed.
What's WD?
Am using 'Daily Strip' by FuseTree LLC .. works great on a root NC with many, many comic choices and an option for 'favorites' one can easily use. It's free but unobtrusively ad supported.
install the soft keys setup, and ACV becomes an absolute dream to use.

+1 to this! I have read several comics now and other than a bit of delay loading each page its fantastic
I have tried jjcomics and Android Comic Viewer. JJcomics seem to work for me for jpg comics..

Comic Reader Mobi is the best I've found...it zooms only the text when you click on a balloon
Perfect Viewer works very well, as it doesn't seem to take as long to load the next page as compared to ACV. Looks like i'll try out Comic Reader Mobi too.
Where do you guys get the comics for the app?

Google is helpful, there's a ton of free comics out there in CBR/CBZ format.
Graphic.ly has a public beta for their comic viewer for Android.
Here is a link to their form to get it.

I've always used ACV for my WD fix. Any screens of comics in action nook?
Not yet from me, I am still trying to get the file again. I can't seem to remember where I put it. If it is anything like some of the other apps I have installed I will be super happy!
If I can get the software installed soon I'll post screen shots.

what doesn't work on Owain's CM9(camera, hardware acceleration, ecc)?
Is it true that Nova HD can't play videos?
You cant record videos with the camera app, but if you download videocam illusion it works. Everything else works great.
And MX player works very well to play videos
And things in Owain's that do or don't work is the same in Nova HD.. because Nova HD is built on Owain's..

Why owain's ROM saves all my data to my external SD card and not to my internal memory?? How I disable this feature??

do u connect it as camera?try as multimedia transfer.
I connected it as multimedia. Btw i can copy files on it and if i disconnect then connect then I can still see those new files. It seems the problem only occurs with old files. I think I should recopy them somehow so I will see those too.

I should probably have posted this in Owain's thread, but I can't, don't have enough posts.
After flashing #39 I experience that Google Maps, Play and Music isn't working Process is stopping. Tried installing GApps again, didn't fix it. Went back to my nandroid of #36, but that didn't help either.
Uninstall the updates for those apps and see whether that fixes it

Camera work like normal to take pictures IMO.
I use Camera Zoom FX to take pictures, and it seems to work as videocam as well. Can't confirm that 100% yet..

Guys,
So I recently, successfully, followed the [ROM][CM7] [v1.3] Size-agnostic SD Card image and CM7 installer for SD Cards thread to use CM7 on an SD Card on my Nook Color 1.4.2. Everything worked out flawlessly and everything seems to be working just fine.
I have the Original Nook OS running via Internal Memory (If I boot without SD Card); and CM7 running via SD Card.
One issue that i've run into is that my YouTube is not playing HD Videos. If I try to play any HD Video, I get the error..
"There was a problem playing this video.
Please touch to retry".
If I click the "HD" button on top-right corner to disable HD, the video starts playing just fine in SD Quality. All SD Videos play just fine.
I have not been able to play any HD video at all on YouTube.
The YouTube I'm talking about is the YouTube App available on the Google Play Store.
Is it just me or do HD Videos not play on the Nook Color via YouTube?
Thanks!!
Unfortunately it depends on the format the hd is encoded to... it is hit and miss.
One thing that MAY help is to install MX player and the codec pack for it.

Thanks for replying Dizzy.
I installed MX Player and it's codecs; I have to say that my actual MP4/MKV files are actually running pretty smooth & nicely in this player .... however, YouTube HD Videos still won't work.
I think what bothers me is that it's not appearing as a "hit and miss" with me; it's appearing as a total "miss" with me and I want to make sure it's not just me. Over the last couple of days I must have tried something like 30 ~ 40 HD Clips - absolutely none of them work - each gives the same message.
Could it be something else in my setup?
Thanks.

Ok - so basically HD Videos do not work on YouTube on the NC at all; that is fine, I think I just primarily wanted to make sure it's not just me or my setup. I know "HD" isn't really conducive on the NC anyways since it's max resolution is 854 X 480 ... it's not even 720p.
Thanks for clarifying.
Is there any way to modify the YouTube apk so that it won't play in HD? It's been getting annoying how it keeps trying to play in HD and just fails.

I'd like to know this as well.
Try the apk in the following link to play HQ youtube clips

Only problem is that Google play detects this as an old version and will try and update. You could always break the market link with Titanium Backup or similar program

Actually the resolution is 1024x600.
A bit better than the lower res 854 x 480.

Try starting youtube app...
go menu... Settings... if High quality on mobile is checked... uncheck it... if it is unchecked... check it.
Mine is checked...
NOTICE: with it checked or unchecked... if you select a HD video... it will ALWAYS initialize in HD mode and you have to tap on the HD logo top right of video to avoid the error message.

I'm Running ICS and the only option in the Settings is to Disable HD over 3G, which the Nook doesn't have. Clicking the HD button disables HD playback for a Playlist but as soon as you leave the Playlist it defaults to HD again. Also HQ is also disabled if you Disable HD in the App. What I need is a patch for the Youtube app so that it thinks my Nook isn't HD capable as it's supposed to.

This was already suggested in this thread, but you can install an older version of YouTube that does not detect you are running in HD and it will play HD videos in HQ. They are decent quality and do not crash. But there is no tablet interface either. To keep play store from updating or bugging you, uncheck automatic updating for YouTube and tell it to not notify you of updates. Get the older version here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17983409
It is version 2.1.6

I already know about that but I updated to CM9 to get the new ICS interfaces. I'd rather suffer the HD presses(Which are less difficult in the latest UI overhaul from Google) then Downgrade. I'm just expressing that I'd be interested if anybody wanted to try and patch it. I have nowhere near the coding skills to create a patch myself(I'm standing on Earth while the Skills are on Neptune).

Many games with tilt feature are not working properly on Kindle Fire HD, they go backwards and upside down. For example in Stick Stunt Biker, when you move the device in order to pull or push the bike the game does the opposite. Is there some way to fix this??

xdadevelopersmac76,
This is normally caused by what is called "Accelerometer Noise" and the games inability to
filter through the noise. First I would go to Google Play Store, search for Accelerometer,
download and install a good Accelerometer Testing Application to make sure your
Kindle Fire's Accelerometer is working properly. If the Accelerometer test is OK,
then you will need to go to each game vendor and ask them if they offer a upgrade.
Always use the latest revision of the software and never share the software since
this will void the software warranty and keep you from upgrades.
Thanks!
Thanks for your help prokennexusa!

xdadevelopersmac76,
Were you able to resolve this problem or did it turn out to be a problem with the Kindle?
I hope you were able to resolve the problem, if not, respond and we will try a few other
tests to determine if it is just "by design".
I'm having this same problem. Games like osmos display and jelly defense display upside down (no matter how irritate the kindle). Probably the accelerometer is inverted too. Looked for noise in an accelerometer app, and it looks pretty clean.
Seems to be a problem with the kindle...
Maybe needs a setting screen option. Some apps display fine. But it looks like full screen games without a "kindle edition" are broken.

For app rotation issues, use the Lock button on the Quick Settings bar. That will hold the app to a single orientation. I played through Osmos successfully with the help of the Lock button. Unfortunately, I'm guessing this doesn't help at all for tilt control issues (never tried it - I don't care for those kind of games at all).
Yep, that's a good workaround. Thankfully, I don't play games that require tilt on here.
Still, a fix would me most welcome.... someday maybe!

So I have been though multiple ROMs on my HD 7" and all of them behave exactly the same way when it comes to Hulu. Basically the Hulu app works just great until you play a video. The ads play with no issue, but right when it is going to play the main video, the app just crashes. I have searched this forum and the googles for answers but I can't find anybody that appears to be having this issue.
Right now I am running omni-4.4.4-20151106-tate-HOMEMADE. I have tried CM11 M12, CM12.1 Nightly, CARBON-KK-UNOFFICIAL-20151105-2317-tate, candy5-release.v4.0-20151015-UNOFFICIAL-tate, Slim-tate-5.1.1.beta.0.14-UNOFFICIAL-20160116-1135 and the app behaves exactly the same way on all of them.
Any ideas what is going on and how to fix it?

Do the roms have adaway baked into them, or some other ad block app? I know you said that the ad will play, but then crash at the video, but that's the only thing I can think of. This was happening on my wife's tablet and I put an exclusion for hulu in adaway and it fixed the issue. Just a thought to get the ball rolling.

I don't think so. Well at least I cannot find anything to indicate that there is an ad block app built in to the omnirom that I am using. Hmmm...
