About:HistorySix months ago, I began work on a webkit based browser when I was asked for help fixing a simple web browser that two forum acquaintances (cammykool and tvall) had built using an online app maker. I looked at the site and disappointingly told them I couldn't help them because the site just generated an apk and didn't actually give you the source code. I told them I could try to build them a simple browser myself...
I started working on Lightning in January, soon published it on Google Play, published the source code on Github, and it became apparent that there was a large group of people that were looking for a light-weight, good-looking, privacy-aware, web browser. People seemed to really like the work I was doing and soon I was adding more and more to the browser. XDA developers kindly gave the browser a favorable review and download numbers spiked drastically.
Recently, I was challenged by the developer of Naked Browser (an excellent bare-bones browser that doesn't track you) about some apparent security flaws in my browser, and I am glad to say that I have fixed them. I've received tons of feedback from users and I have attempted to reply to them all, although I have missed a number of people's emails due to being bogged down with school work last semester. Every bit of feedback is important to me and I strive to fulfill people's desires in the browser.
This is the people's browser.
About:FutureI'm planning...
to add a sync with Google Bookmarks
on better supporting the Xperia Tablet Z
on better supporting large tablets in general
on adding better support for external keyboards and mouses
to add a lot of other options
to add more search providers (duckduckgo and startpage for privacy)
to possibly remove the GPS permission for the privacy aware of us.
to add anything you suggest and I can code

Filed issue on github tracker due to compile issues - looks like some stuff in Barebones class is private, then directly accessed from AnthonyWebView. Not had a look, perhaps going protected and inheriting from Barebones might help...
RE the feature ideas, I'd suggest perhaps Firefox sync is a worthwhile contender to rival Google's sync (since Firefox permits you to store your data on your own server, totally under your control).
Will take a look at search providers, as I have reverse-engineered a number of search engines' query strings and auto-suggest APIs, and found the proper ways to invoke them for mobile and desktop (tablet likely should use the desktop versions, unless user chooses otherwise).
There also appears to be a regression. It's not possible to use the newest version on a device without either the AOSP browser or Chrome. Since Chrome is closed source, and the AOSP browser is often not included on "stock" manufacturer ROMs (like the Sony Tablet Z ROM), this is a bit of an annoyance. There was no issue running Lightning version 2.4.3 without another browser being present, but it now FCs.

What's strange is that it compiles fine for me. I'll change the private variables to public that are accessed in the webview.
The issue with the stock browser not being present is also something that I know about, but alas... I forgot to test it with the latest build. I'll see about fixing that.
Thanks for pointing this out. I often forget about browsers with a stock provider.
What's strange is that it's giving me none of these on my Tablet Z which is still on stock...... Hmmm. At any rate, I'll fix this stuff pronto.

I just fixed the crash issue. Silly, but all it required was a simple if(cursor!=null).
Also, the binary was updated and the code has been reverted to public to make it easier to compile.

I added a change I'm planning to make to the settings menu to make it more n00b friendly and a little cleaner. See second post.
The bookmark menu is crap (sorry, but it is).
Much too big items, not sortable, not configurable.
At this state Lightning unfortunately is not suited for me.

Suggestion taken. Sortable and editable I can do... Size on the other hand is an issue I am having difficulty with.
As you probably noticed, the bookmarks are an html page which the browser loads, and for some reason the text changes size in landscape and portrait.
Portrait size of the bookmarks is fine, but the landscape I agree to be unusable.
Also, I may consider a more icon/tile based thing like chrome... Whatever people want
The beta has been updated here https://github.com/anthonycr/Lightning-Browser. Lots of New options including the ability to import bookmarks from the stock browser or chrome if it's installed.

Is there anyway you can add the ability for the browser to ask what video player app to use when clicking on a direct link to a video file instead of just downloading it? Chrome and stock browser can do this for mp4's that alone would be acceptable but It would be cool to to do it for any video file link.

Are you generating the HTML for this? It's probably missing a meta tag or two, or they need a tweak from the current setting. I'm assuming CSS could be used to further refine its look, just not sure how that has to be built into the app.

Yeah I'm generating the HTML and I am using CSS to style it to look like holo cards, the issue I found was that the WebView blows things up and uses a weird zoom thing so I just disabled a certain setting when on the bookmarks page and the bookmarks are the same size in portrait and landscape now.
If you want to look at some of the pre-generated HTML, it's located in the source in the BookmarkPageVariables.java file.
Lightning beta has been updated with the ability to open a closed tab by long pressing on the "New tab" button. Code and apk have been updated on github.

Cannot believe this isn't more popular. Awesome work, man. Thank you.
I have updated the play store version of Lightning Browser to reflect the beta version. Beta also has been updated for those of you who do not have access to the Play Store.
Just a reminder to forum members that voting for the competition is now open here.

Wow, it looks really good and seems to be very fingerfriendly.
I think it fits well into the Metro style.
Only thing to criticize: The touch input to raise and lower the weight for example (Video min: 1:33) could be done a bit nicer I think.
As example you could do it the same way it's done in the OS.
Here a video (min 7:21): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSoEhHV5BFU
Just one thing: In the beginning and the end you can see that the title of your app is Marahon and not Marathon. Just a little thing to fix
Regards
Sry for my english, hope you understand what I mean.
Looking good!
Although in some places the UI is a bit confusing, such as in the video at 0.26 where you have Goals Goals as the pivot and Open Open, why is this? as its not clear from the video. You also see this again later in the video with Edit Edit and Twitter twitter etc.
Also at 2.13 it's not clear that you can swipe to the right to see Calibration settings as its not hinted in the pivot
Other than that, I think it looks very cool

Yeah I agree with the Goals Goals and Open Open thing. Perhaps the second word can be grayed out shadow in the background isntead of looking like there is more.
Other than that it looks great, definately something I can use this fall when I start walking/jogging outside.
It looks great.
I'm currently using a similar application (RunSat) on WM, which has two features you might want to add. I personally love both of the listed features, so you could consider whether adding them is worth the effort.
Exporting results to excel / a spreadsheat is something I really like (showing three columns: time, speed, average speed. Could consider adding more). If you have multiple times on the same course, you could have column 1 trough 3 for your first, 5 trough 7 for your second, etc. so it's easy to compare your performance.
Another useful feature is auto-pausing the training when you're standing still (very useful if there's a bridge on the course). Not sure if you already support manual pausing, but that obviously can be useful too.
I'm already very familiar with the app I'm currently using, but I might consider switching to your WM6 app. For WP7 I'm pretty sure I'll get yours after seeing your demo!
Good luck with further development, I'm very happy to see another dev preparing for the WP7 launch
freeriders:
The numeric input panel you linked looks really sweet. I'll keep that in mind and see if I can make something similar .
DMAND/cyclical:
Sorry about the "Goals Goals" thing, I should have mentioned that it will not be there in the final release (it's there because I'm temporary using an open source Pivot control which doesn't support single pages, Microsoft will release their own Pivot control before the release. So I'm awaiting theirs before I invest too much time in making a "single page pivot lookalike".)
cPT.cAPSLOCK:
The WM6 app supports exporting to CVS (which you can open in Excel), I would add it to the WP7 app if I knew how to give the user his file . Since there's no traditional fileesystem you can't just save it. But since the WP7 app will be compatible with the webpage (www.marathon-mobile.net) you can always use the "Share" feature to upload the result to the webpage and then save it as kml/gpx/cvs from there.
Manual pausing is already supported, I want to implement auto-pause but I haven't done it yet since I'm not sure how to handle the noice in the GPS-signal in a proper way. But I guess I have to accept that the feature will work in ALMOST all cases.
Thanks for the feedback everyone!
Cool, I thought that might be the reason , hopefully the offical controls are released soon
What's the point?
I'm not sure there's any point in porting an app like this over to WiPhone7 when it can't run in the background. If you use your phone the app will be frozen, not to mention if you get a call or check a mail. Hopefully people remember to resume it after they're done. I can't even listen to Pandora or .977 or use a navigation app (not that there is one) at the same time, which is when I'd use it.
This app would be better ported to webOS which could actually handle it.
Hello,
I'm agree with freeriders concerning the numeric panel.
What do you use to realize charts ?
Thanks
gaijin1%
I'm a .NET developer and I find the WP7 platform interesting, so I'm porting this app to WP7 . Unfortunately I dont have enough spare time to port it to yet another platform, such as WebOS. Its possible to run under lock screen and as long as you stick to the built in music player you can listen to music while you're out running, and thats enough for me. I do agree that real multitasking would be neat, but this is not the tread to debate WP7 OS design .
Roccc
I'm using Silverlight Toolkit (http://silverlight.codeplex.com/) for charting. It seems to work good, but I haven't received my real device yet, so I can't be sure the performance is OK.
Thanks for the feedback!

Me too, I haven't received my real device :S
I've released another video, its available here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vldm4WVguLk
Unfortunately I haven't had the time to improve the touch controls for numeric inputs (such as weight), but it's still something I want to do . I also plan to move some more buttons down to the application bar and add some more stuff to the map.
Looks great, but i guess you have to think about a good background. I also think there are to much options, so it should be nice if they will be arranged in groups
This is great.
I am planning to get rid of my desire in favour of a new WP7 phone later this month and I have been thinking about ways to track my running activity while waiting for an app to do just that. Glad to see someone is already working on it. I am very much looking forward to give it a try!

It doesn't need to run in the background. Just Disable UserIdleDetection mode and some Tombstoning and phone calls will interrupt the app, but it will reload. I use Caliburn.Micro framework for WP7 apps, and it makes it really easy to do. Just be sure to Enable UserIdleDetectionMode when closed or tombstoned. This passes cert and is different from ApplicationIdleDetectionMode, which requires user opt-in.
As promised I've released a free version of the app, a link is available in the first post .
Nice app and get's it done in a very fluid manner. There are a lot of options to customize setup for individuals and such. One feature that would be nice to further add to the customization would be adding the ability to reorder the home screen (smaller items). Like current speed, average speed, decline, etc. For instance, I would like to be able to see (along with the most main items which you nailed..time and distance) calories and average pace when I just glance at my phone. As it is now, I have to swipe a little to see that row of information. My only suggestion is it's great as I said. And thanks a lot.
I've just released another update to the app (2.8). The biggest news is the ability to earn achievements (not xbox live) for your workout. Here's a list of the available achievements: http://www.marathon-mobile.net/Results/Achievements . Hopefully It'll help people get a little extra motivated to work out . Other news in 2.8 is FR/IT/NL/ES/SV voices as well as an auto-pause feature.
kwill: Thanks for the feedback, I've thought about letting the user re-organize the dashboard. But I haven't implemented anything like that yet.
Here's a little preview of the upcoming release: http://www.marathon-mobile.net/Info/Development
It'll enable Marathon to upload your results "live", so friends and family can watch the progress while you are out running . The feature will be available in both the free and premium version of Marathon and I'm targeting a release in early August (The feature is done, but I'm going on a vacation soon. So I'll keep it for a while ).
Version 3.0 is now available. It's been updated to Mango, so it supports fast app switching and 32bit colors.

When I first got my HTC Mozart I looked for an rss reader but couldn't find one that suited. RSS Central from Adam Dawes came close, but still didn't quite have the structure I was looking for. I always like to look at my subscriptions in groups. If I am tracking two or three blogs related to the same thing then I don't want to have to look at all three seperately. I just want to look at the newest entries from all of them together. So I got to work, and feed me is the result.
Please give feedback about any missing features or possible improvements.
There is currently no video of version 1.11 as I am spending all my spare time getting a mango version up and running.
Here's a video of Version 1.11:

Visit the site for more info and feel free to PM me if you have any questions
Calum you are a legend, looks great.
just a quick update...
I'm on holiday for a week and am doing the last few bits for the next update... Just got the last bits of live tiles to go, then the tests and it's done.
For the live tiles I will show the total number of new items since the last time the app was open (like the stock e-mail app). You will be able to select which feeds are used for live tiles, so certain feeds with frequent updates can be excluded.
This won't work for backdated items. For example, BBC likes to post items that are backdated to yesterday, these will not be seen as new as the publish date is older than the date of the last refresh.
Feeds included in the live tiles update will always be updated on startup.
Let me know what you think.
I have also set up a page on facebook. And you can follow progress on twitter.
So I've finished the next update... here are a few of the new features:
A live tile showing the number of new items. This is restricted to showing the total of a maximum of 5 feeds at the moment (or 1 in trial mode). I hope to increase or remove this limit but I want to see how the server handles things first. The tile can be updated in 10, 15, 30 or 60 minute intervals.
You can now add a feed from your google reader subscriptions. They are shown in a flat list similar to the feed search in the current version.
I now check the http headers for feeds before downloading. If the 'last-modified' header is present and the feed has not changed then the download is cancelled.
I added a pivot to the start page. Now you can swipe from the list of feed groups to a list of all the new items (these are grouped for easy browsing).
There is a backup and restore function for the feed settings. This backs up the settings to a SQL server so you can restore even after a factory reset. In this version an anonymous device ID is used so you don't need to log in.
I have also improved caching and done quite a bit of work on performance. The limits for the trial version have been increased to 4 groups of max. 4 feeds.
Unfortunately I have had to do away with backwards compatibility for the settings. This means that all settings in the previous version will be lost. I really didn't want this, but due to the live tile implementation, backup and cache management I had to change the storage format for the settings. The main problem is that it is impossible for me to simulate an upgrade as a developer so I couldn't event try to implement a settings upgrade. This is quite annoying and I hope microsoft will do something about it, but at the moment all I could do was add the google reader support mentioned above, and ensure this never happens again due to the new backup/restore feature.
This only really affects the few paid versions out there (unfortunately, or fortunately in this case the actual number is pretty small). Trial versions won't update so you need to uninstall it before installing the new version - this is another microsoft 'feature'.
I will post a full list of changes on the forty3degrees.com website after the update hits the market. This should be towards the end of next week. I have decided to run the final build on my phone for the weekend as there is not point in submitting tonight (nobody will start testing it until monday morning anyway), and you never know... there may just be a bug or two still lurking
V1.2 just got published... a load of improvements and new features.
Check out forty3degrees.com for all the details.
Just submitted the next version. A few bug fixes but a nice new 'tweet article' feature as well. The new version supports all the European and Middle Eastern encodings I could find (I will post the full list as soon as the app is certified)
Feed me version 1.3 has been published to the marketplace. This version has Twitter integration, improved encoding support and a few fixes. See the site for details:
http://www.forty3degrees.com/apps/feedme
Hey i've been trying out your app for a day or two now, seems to work great so far. If its something i find myself using often, I'll be sure to buy it (first time using an RSS reader, so I don't know how useful it will be for me). Also, I'll let you know if I notice anything/have any suggestions
Thanks for the feedback. Feel free to pm me if you have any questions/ideas.

Nice looking app. With the podcasts, can they be downloaded to be listened to later or do they have to stream? I like being able to download several episodes via WiFi and then listen to them even if I have no data connection or if I have a bad connection.
Thanks
Just streaming in this version... I did think of doing a download, but it didn't make the deadline
I will add this to my todo list, and it will almost certainly make it into the next version. I just need to sort out the cache management for the downloaded media, or see if I can add them to the media library. Would you want the media to be available in the media library, or just in the app?
On a related note, I wasn't really sure if I should add the viewed media to the media player history. In the end I decided against it. Any thoughts?
Thanks for the feedback.

I don't really need it to show anywhere other than from withing the app. I have been doing podcasts through Zune right now and one thing that I don't like is that once I listen to a podcast it just sits there. It gets marked as listened to within Zune and I can delete it, but I kind of like having them just go away. This might be good as a user setting.

Yeah, I thought that too. I prefer them to disappear as well, and this happened to be easier to implement as there are extra certification requirements if I add them to the history.
I think I'll go with the setting for V1.5 with no history as the default. Thanks again for the feedback.
Thanks a lot for the app calum. It's really fast and nice. Especially the animations and such. I haven't seen one (and I've tried them all and still use Flux) and this one gets it about perfect as for look and feel. One thing I have seen that I'm not sure you could have implemented is a tile view for articles, showing them as an image. That's the one thing I really like about flux (as you've already got the other best part..categores), is the overall look when you go into it. Don't want to make you a copycat, just that one option would be great. Or at least an "HTML view" like Feedreader has. That gives the app that last piece of visual appeal. As the rest of it is perfect. Thanks once again as for right now you make it tough for me to choose between this and Flux.
Hi,
thanks for the feedback. I did think about switching to a panorama with images for the main page, although I would add a setting to allow the current main page to be used instead. Good to know that somebody would like this sort of view
Adding images to the article lists would slow things down too much. Scrolling performance would be pretty bad with more that 50 items. (I still don't have NoDo so don't know if it's any better with that...)
I am working on an update for this week, but it will not change the UI much (maybe a new transition for the main page... don't know yet). The main improvements will be podcast downloads and hopefully facebook integration (time permitting - the update needs to be submitted this week to try a fix a marketplace search bug... feed me doesn't turn up at the moment).
Thanks again for the feedback
Calum
Yep, someone does want it (tile view) as that is one thing that stands out about the rss readers on WP7. Flux has seemed to integrate it quite nicely and I believe it's achieved because it has an option to automatically load more items or not. And it only loads 6 tiles initially to keep scrolling smooth for the most part. I like the main page as it is, and having a tiled view of what's new on to the side of that would be cool also. Well, looking forward to any updates for sure and good luck with continued development.
feed me 1.5 is out.
You can now download podcasts. You can also pause the downloads and resume them later (they are paused automatically when exiting the app).
I also added some new animation for the page transitions. I'd be really interested in any feedback as to whether it still keeps the clean look... if not then you can disable them in the settings.
Hi all,
I am a long time lurker, first time poster. This forum was a wonderful inspiration to me. I would like to showcase my app - Komik. It is a CBR/CBZ reader that is designed from the ground up for tablets. First some background, I was disappointed with the quality of comic book readers on the market. The Xoom, with its aspect ratio, is THE perfect comic book reader (honestly, the aspect ratio lends to almost zero unused space), and the lack of polish in many of the other apps is sorely apparent. I wanted a reader that did a better job of showcasing my collection. This spurred me to build my own application, and thus began Komik. I would love to hear what you guys think. Any comments would be well appreciated.
Here is the market listing: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.komik.free
It would be very much appreciated if you could rate the application on the market as well Thanks! and I hope you all enjoy it.
Komik is the first comic/manga viewer and collection manager designed specifically for Android tablets. We are currently rapidly developing Komik and would love to hear any suggestions from you.
* CBR, CBZ, and image directory comic support
* Comic collection browser with thumbnails
* Quickly zoom in locally on a section of a page
* Page thumbnails to quickly scan through comics
* Continuous bookmarking for all comics
* Gracefully handles dual-spread pages
* Easy collection management from the library
* Easily zoom into pages
WHATS NEW IN VERSION 1.20:
*Magnifying glass. Place two fingers together on the screen. A magnification window will appear. Move fingers to pan.
*Improved picture quality while zooming
*Ability to set any folder on the device as the comic folder - EXPERIMENTAL
*Night and day mode quick toggle for screen brightness while reading
*Click-to-page turn is now available as an option
*Advanced reading settings
*Mark-as-read now marks all files in a folder as read as well
*Bottom notification bar is now hidden while reading
*Fixed a bug where pages would not load when going to the next or pervious issue in a series
*Additional memory improvements while handling CBRs
*Checkboxes will be selected or deselected when clicking on the cover image
*Additional help information
WHATS COMING IN THE NEXT RELEASE:
* local zoom improvements
* stability fixes
EDIT: PDF support is much much more involved than I thought. All the open source solutions are unsatisfactory. I am going to have to port over a library myself. That is by itself a couple month project. I think I am going to table PDF support as a priority until I get the rest of the application into a state that I am more happy with. I will get back to it after a couple of releases.
STAY TUNED FOR:
* More prebuffering for CBRs to improve speed
* Dual page mode
* Quick links from the reader
* Night time mode
* Search across your entire collection
* Collection browser filtering to find the comics you want faster
* A homescreen widget to quickly jump to your comics

Like ed the free version well enough to buy the $1.99 app. About as close to ComicFlow on the iPad as I've seen so far. Feels lighter than DROID Comic Viewer.
Thanks! That's great to hear. Anything specific that you would like to call out that I can improve or features that you would like to add? I will be monitoring this thread. I am pushing an upgrade out in the next couple of weeks with some more features. Hopefully I can get them in for you.
EDIT: Fixed some stability issues. An update should appear on the market shortly.
I have yet to encounter a double page layout, but when I do, that will be a good measure of how your app reacts.
So far, I like. Seems like it does get a tad bit memory heavy after a while - the CBR was 141mb though.
Holy. That is a large CBR. Just a heads up, CBZs will preform better for every reader out there because the decompression of the ZIP file is handled natively, and all libraries for RAR extraction are really really bad. I recommend converting everything the CBZs if possible for better performance. There are some tools out there that do it for you - I rolled my own script though.
I auto rotate all dual-spread pages to whatever can result in the largest use of the screen. You can then zoom in to see the detail (I am in the process of improving quality of the zoom feature eta next weekish). If the dual-spread page is split between two pages you can drag your figure like you are changing pages to read through both pages.
I fixed a couple force close issues that were reported. An update should be up whenever the market decides it wants to show it.

I really like what you're doing here. I just set my root directory as my dropbox folder and now I kind of want to load a bunch of comics in there just to scroll through the collection. I'm sure you'll iron out any bugs or fcs eventually, but for a 1.0 I'm impressed, and I love any app that feels like it belongs in honeycomb.
I dont even know if its possible, but a suggestion would be if you could do like windows does with its thumbnails and show a cover page on a folder (like, page 1 of the first listed file). I like to keep my stuff organized, but the collection view looks too good to be blanded up by a bunch of blank folders.
also "Could not open the file-did something happen to it?" made me smile. I tried to open an .xls
edit: ok confused myself, maybe you should limit the file extensions that it sees in case someone uses a folder with unrelated stuff in it
I am glad you like it! I was thinking about that. I do show covers for the directory directly above. I will make it so that the directories above that also show some covers. Here is another option. What if I made it display the image of a file called "cover.jpg" or something like that? That would give you better organization ability.
Its strange. I wonder how that xls got in there. I will look into it. It might be some weirdness with dropbox. I am glad that functions.
EDIT: Ah. I found the issue. Thanks! It will go out with the next release.
hello, I am a huge comics fan and read a lot on my xoom, If I could I would advise you to add followings things :
- read pdf file with the same interface
- read jpg file
I have a lot of comics with pdf or jpeg extension
- edit the display of a folder with a jpg or perhaps a pdf
Gl for your apps
Duely noted! I am in the process of getting an jpg comic book to work properly. I dont know how easy a pdf file is though. It cant be that hard! I will see if I can get that support out by the next release. Thanks for the suggestions.
it's not bad but I'm going to stic with perfect viewer for the time being
Perfect viewer loads pages much faster and I like the quick tap feature to go to the next comic or back to my library. It loads the thumbnails faster too. If you haven't tried it yet you may want to now. Its totally free and there is an optional 3 dollar donation, I donatd because of how amazing the app is.
I do like the tap to preview other pages though. It just loads the thumbnails kinda slow.
I have used perfect viewer and didnt particularly like its organizational features. It is strange that you find it so much faster - were you testing the same files? CBRs universally suck for pretty much every app that I have tried because of the sorry state of the unRAR library. I think I will try doing much more prebuffering when dealing with CBRs. That should solve much of the speed problem.
You can also jump back to the library or next by tapping on the screen when you are reading and hitting the buttons in the action bar. How does perfect viewer do it?
As far as loading comic thumbnails are concerned, it is done once and cached. I try to only load them when the user has stopped scrolling because the scrolling experience is extremely hampered by continuously trying to fetch the comics. Basically what I am saying is only the first time that a directory is visited has really slow thumbnail loading.
As always, thanks for the suggestions! I will be working on getting parity with Perfect Viewer.
EDIT: Okay. These ads are causing way too many force closes. I will be removing it. The free version is now ad free. The update will be on the market shortly.
Awesome app! Totally replaced perfect viewer for me! just waiting for the pdf views
Congrats dude!

It is coming my friend Researching as we speak!
very nice app indeed!
Just buyed this app last night after trying the free version... very nice indeed and fast (is it using renderscript?).
Just waiting for double page view in landscape mode, manga mode view (right to left) and night mode for B&W comics/mangas... =]
Sweet thanks for the feedback! That's actually an interesting suggestion for double page view in landscape mode. Would it show the current page and the next page side by side? I think I got some ideas for it. Manga mode is definitely coming. I didnt think about night mode. That is an awesome suggestion. Does it just it just invert the colors to white on black?
As always thanks for the excellent feedback! I will be updating my first post with things that I will be adding into the next release.

perfect viewer's quick controls (customizable)
I cant decide just yet who's bookshelf I like better, yours or PV. PV handles the covers better though (with some of my files your app shows the wrong image). I'll buy your app as a thank you, and as encouragement to one up perfect viewer's dominance over android comic apps.
PS - Mango is the app I use for reading manga because it has many sources and pulls manga from the internet, all you need is the app itself.
Interesting ideas... I definitely can grab covers better I think. The problem is there is no standardization on how files are named - there is definitely some improvements I can make by looking through the zip for something that seems like "front cover" or something like that. Right now I simply show the first image in the file.
The quick links are interesting. I definitely will be looking into something like that. Buttons easily placed in the page thumbnails overlay or something like that.
The dual page thing i am definitely going to do. That is a super cool feature that I am surprised I missed.
As always, thanks for the support and the suggestions!
The "quick links" thing shows briefly on startup and then remains hidden. I went through the options to bring it up for the snapshot.
I see. Into the pipeline it goes!
Bought the paid version, even though you took the ads out of free. Not that you seem to need much encouragement! Thanks again

Last but not the least,
Special Thanks to
abhisahara for his wonderful support (and his infinite patience )
Jaagte Raho!!!!
If you like the work, please consider a small donation here
A special thank you to all developers for being patient while guiding users.
A Few Tips for those confused -
1. The Forums Menu in your toolbar generates Live feeds at intervals of 5 minutes, as and when threads are updated. Be sure that you are logged into your account at xda. By doing so, the toolbar will automatically update itself and display newer/updated threads that you haven't marked read.
2. The toolbar works the same way on IE, Firefox and Chrome (though I would recommend Chrome as it looks classy on it). In case you are on smaller screens, the toolbar may not fit the complete width. You can either see the other menu labels by clicking on the arrow key that appears on the extreme right or you could use the option to Shrink Toolbar.
Hope the toolbar is helpful. Do revert with your feedback to help improve.
Cheers!

I would like to know where the files are installed to so I can uninstall it from my machine. It doesn't register in the add/remove programs, and the location of any uninstaller is not obvious. Any help?
For the record the toolbar is very nice, I installed it to try it out and I like it, however it isn't of much use to me until we can change the device it is for and thus would like to remove it from my machine and not just from Chrome's list of toolbars.

The toolbar is uninstalled just like any other add-on.
For Chrome, just right-click on the toolbar icon (where you have rest of your add-on icons) and select remove.
thnx for making this mate..
i find it very usefull
I admit that it's a good idea, but it needs more work.
It is beatiful but it significantly slows down the loading of the pages.
So I unistalled it, a few minutes after I installed it.

well yes, i do admit it has its shortcomings.
primary reason for this is that I don't have access to the xda user database and hence had to rely on the session cookies for certain features. this is why the toolbar has to refresh itself each time you load a page.
edit: it slows down page loading. but not as significantly as you say

Thank you for making my "Note-World" better!
Hi,
As an owner of NGT I've decided to start programming in java and android API. Let me introduce my first project.
As I rooted my device I was missing Library launcher, ralaunch was fine but I was looking for shelves supporting launcher, epub launcher was nice but limited. So, I decided to fill the gap. I was inspired by nook library, which I think was very well designed.
For now it's in alpha stage and for easier developing it's as application, in future I'll make it as a launcher.
So, here are the screen-shots of actual developing state:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I'm using Calibre and its meta attributes:
<meta content="shelf name" name="calibre:series"/>
<meta content="1" name="calibre:series_index"/>
calibre:series_index is treated as integer, not as a float so if you have it as float, let me know.
Please let me know what you think about it. Let me know which features or ideas you wished to have in this app.
If anybody could contribute pictograms icons which will fit better, let me know.
---- uploaded first pre-alpha version of app ---
v0.1 - limitations:
scanning of ebooks is limited only to whole /sdcard/, no internal memory is scanned,
file browser don't remember locations, always start from root,
file browser don't have a bookmarks yet,
epub file's attribute "calibre:series" is treated as integer value, so 1.5 is 2, 1.4 is 1. Anybody uses fractions on this attribute?
sorting is done on re-run of app or on refreshing library, to be fixed,
for now, only epub filetype is handled,
searching doesn't work,
no preferences yet
v0.2
fixed adding of shelves
fixed scanning of whole /sdcard/
v0.3
added working bookmarks
added root access in manifest (in future will be used in "my file" browser to get access to blocked paths)
some general fixes
Let me know what you think about it.
Cheers

Yes yes yes! THIS IS GOOD!
I've uploaded first version of my app. Hope that'll work for you.
Nice app, thanx! :thumbup:

Looks great - thanks! For future versions, I'd love to be able to do a dual-sort starting with genre tag so you could show shelves by tag then by series (so you could just see your SciFi series for example) or tag then by author etc. Thanks for the good work.
Hi,
New version uploaded, more info in first post.
Due to some manifest changes in code which fail to run I must upload again to have it working
Cheers.
I'm extremely impressed, especially considering that you said you have just started programming. Very good start sir! :thumbup::beer:

Thanks, I've learned C/++ for years, so learning Java was quite easy. The biggest problem was Android API, which is complex, especially API 7 which lacks many features.
Good work! I like the way this library app opens AlReader by default and allows the standard Nook library to open the stock reader by default. I have one feature request. As many of the third party readers will open .mobi files as well as .epub, can this library be modified to use both? My practice is to have my non-DRM books in .mobi format to open with AlReader so that they do not even show up in the stock library app which I use for B&N content only. I find this a effective way to separate the two different forms of content.

Hi, I plan to add mobi/pdf/epub only the question is how to handle this, altogether or separate in tabs.
Beside I'll add scan paths. So, for mobi we could set one dir and exclude it from scanning.

Actually, for my purposes, there is no need to separate .epub and .mobi. Your app will not be able to read B/N DRMed epubs anyway. For me, if it just picked up .mobi files when it does a library scan and displayed then alongside DRM free epubs, that would be fine.
Again, thanks for the great work on this.

I really like the app, but it can't seem to get it to work properly. I only get three or four shelves to start and I can set the view to all to see all my ebook files. This view shows all of the books but without an authors name, shows null null. Hitting the refresh button the app rescans the device and shows all the authors on the books. Switching the view to shelves does not carry over, hitting the refresh button does not change the shelves shown. Going throughout the option menu to delete data and then rescan does nothing as well. Any ideas? Can post the debug if needed
Also for future dev adding the file types cbr/Cbz for comic books would be awesome. Showing them inline with other shelves or on a separate tab would be cool
Hi
I was oo for a while. Could you PM me debug, I'll look for it. Strenge, as ebook should be readed all the time the same way.
sorry about the two seperate pms but the first is what it normally looks like and the second is when i rescan files in the all files view.
Feature request. Sync with google play books or any other service that have upload and page sync. I want to be able to upload books on my phone and sync over to nook.
Hi, I'll look how that could be achieved. I had a plan to make my own build of reader with sources and add reading with last page shown in library app.

This app is exactly what I have been looking for. However, I installed it on my NST and have similar issues as above. Also when I try to assign books to a shelf it will add some but not all that I have selected and will add some random books as well.
I hope the developer keeps working on this app.
