I am running CM12 Nightlies from Euroskank and Sync wont see root. Typically when you try and run a program that needs root you get a popup asking to allow root. I am not getting the popup for Aldiko Sync. In the window, it says requesting super user access but a prompt to allow super user never appears. Any help would be appreciated.

What super user app are you using? Is CM12 based on Android L? Can you check if the sync app has an entry in the super user app? If so, try removing the entry, rebooting the device, and then do a manual sync.

If none of that works, please send me a report from the device (Settings -> Report Issue) after a sync has failed.

Looks like it is # Superuser. Its the one that is typically installed with Cyanogenmod. CM12 is based off of Android L (5.0.2). There is no entry in the Superuser app and i think this is where the issue comes from.

Sent Report about 12:43 pm CST.

Thanks for getting back to me.

Can you try using chainfires super user app instead, and let me know if that works? I believe I just heard from one other user having a similar issue. If that works, I'll have to figure out what is causing the incompatibility.

Thanks.

Ya that seems to work just fine with SuperSU. Looks like its an issue with Superuser either by ClockworkMod or ChainsDD not sure which one CM uses. My guess would ClockworkMod.

Thanks.

I updated my nexus 7 with the first nightly of CM12. Everything is working fine except Aldiko Sync which is no longer able to gain super user access. All other apps who need root asked for su access and are working fine.

Any advice on this?

Thank you,
Cheers
Klaus

I am not sure. Something must have changed on the Dropbox site. I will look into this over the weekend, because I have had a couple of other similar reports from other users.

Icon never hides on unsuccessful sync on Lollipop, regardless of the option in settings. A minor grow for an otherwise great program!

This is intentional to tell the user that there's a pending sync. However, you should be able to clear the icon from the bar, if you have the hide option enabled in the settings.

If that is not working, please send me a report from within the sync app, and reference this conversation so I can look into it further.

Thanks.

Just loaded Viper 4.1.0 (Lollipop) on ny M8. So far I haven't been able to sync at all. It keeps asking if I'm rooted. I'm using the ROMs stock SU utility. Any thoughts on why this might be?

Hi there! Before I make a feature request, I really want to reiterate just how much I love your app: I use it all the time, across a number of devices, and I have for years now. In fact, the unlocker is actually the first app I ever spent money on and I recommend it to anyone and everyone I know. So, please, please PLEASE don't take my request for a feature (and a nebulous, unspecific request at that) for a complaint. Far from it. Same goes for the error I posted; really just reporting rather than complaining.

In any case, I'll get to my point: I've been having what seems to be a new (or at least hard to find via Google searching) issue with syncing. The problem is with one specific book, Michael Lewis' "Flash Boys: A Wall Street Revolt." First of all, I want to make clear that I do LEGITIMATELY own a copy of this book. It may not have originally been in .epub form and ready for Aldiko, but I own the digital rights to my copy of this book and as far as I can tell from the agreement I made in purchasing it, there is no stipulation against what type of reader/file the book must be read on/take the shape of. Apparently, however, someone (his publisher, most likely) has a web-crawler looking for copies of it sitting out there on the internet, and it's been flagged as a DMCA violation. The interesting thing about this is that without Aldiko Sync, I would never have known it was flagged at all! I can download it from the website and the Android client manually no problem, and Dropbox didn't send me a message or anything.

The biggest part of this problem is that once it reaches this point in the sync, this error stops the sync cold - it doesn't just skip over the book and continue on, it stops dead in its tracks and despite the fact that I do actually legitimately own the book Here's the specific error I get: dropboxserverexception (nginx) 461 Lewis, Michael DMCA takedown notice.

Now, what I'm wondering is whether there's a way I can encrypt or otherwise privatize my collection so that publishing houses don't have the power to abuse the DMCA in this way - and if not, whether you would consider building one into Aldiko Sync.

I realize this is controversial, and a big ask in general, but the fact of the matter is that I should be able to keep a digital copy of a book I own sync'ed across the devices I use to read it. Is that really so much to ask? (A rhetorical question for whichever party it was that issued the takedown notice, not one aimed at you, the hardworking developer).

In any case, I apologize for the long post and appreciate not only your time reading my rant, but all the time you have (and continue) to put into a wonderful program.

Thanks again!

Encryption

I also logged back into xda after ages for the same reason as above - to request the addition of encryption to Aldiko sync. I purchased some books online and now I am getting the DMCA violation error - most likely because DMCA has requested dropbox to restrict user's access to certain filenames.

This stops Aldiko sync from working so please look into already atleast encrypting the filenames if not the entire file.

Unfortunately, I deleted the dropbox folder and re-synched and it worked.

Happy to get in touch with you if same problem happens again or if you think the log file on my device will give you some hints. Via PM is fine..whatever is easiest for you.

That is unfortunate. If it ever happens again, please send me a report so I can investigate and figure out what's going on.

Thanks.

    I'm an avid user of the Aldiko eBook reader app and recently got myself a tablet. Naturally, I wanted to be able to read my books on my phone and the tablet. I hoped there would be something that would allow me to easily do this, but I only found a stale thread on the Aldiko support site that said they would support this feature sometime in the future.

    Therefore, I present to you, my first Android app, Aldiko Sync that allows you to sync both your books and bookmarks across various Android powered devices.

    ** Note **

    The app requires a rooted device to work with Aldiko v2.2.0+. This is because Aldiko no longer allows other apps access to its database.

    ** Note **


    Requirements:
    • Android 2.2+
    • Aldiko 2.0.2+ (Free or Premium)
    • Rooted device (Aldiko 2.2.0+)
    • Dropbox account
    Features:
    • Synchronizes eBooks across devices (including addition of new books and deletion of old books)
    • Synchronizes your position in each eBook across devices.
    • Pro Version: Fully automatic sync.
    • Pro Version: Faster sync check for changes on Dropbox.
    • Pro Version: Trigger sync from an external application (like a Tasker/Locale plugin).
    • Ability to store deleted books in a separate "TrashCan" folder on Dropbox in case you want to retrieve it at a later date.
    • Ability to always sync to furthest read point (like the Kindle).
    Current Limitations:

    • User defined bookmarks are not synced across devices.
    Now available on the market:


    FAQ:

    • Will books that I add directly to Dropbox be synced to my devices?
      • No, they won't. My sync app synchronizes books in the Aldiko library between devices, using Dropbox as a storage location.

        I'd love to be able to add books directly to the Aldiko library as they are added to Dropbox but its not an easy task. Unfortunately, Aldiko doesn't expose any means to import books without user interaction. The import process is crucial because thumbnails and cover images are generated only during the import process. My sync app gets around this problem by just shuffling the images around to various devices once they have been created by the import process on one device.

        One way to work around this limitation is to use the Dropbox PC and Android apps to keep the non imported books in sync between the PC and Android device by having them in a separate shared folder. Once the book is on the device, its fairly easy to import it into Aldiko. Once its in the library, my sync app will take care of the rest.
    • Sync is broken, and I don't want to root my device. What do I do?
    • Why is a sync operation started when I unlock my device?
      • A sync is performed on device unlock to sync down changes made to the Aldiko library by other devices.

        The idea is to have all changes synced down to the device before Aldiko is opened. Ideally, this would be performed just before a book is opened in Aldiko. However, since the sync functionality is not built into Aldiko, this was the best method I could come up with to ensure the library was always kept in sync.
    • Why was the "Hide Status Icon" behavior changed?
      • Due to the way Aldiko is designed, a sync operation is not guaranteed to succeed if Aldiko is opened before it is complete. The icon is a an indication that its not "safe" to open Aldiko yet.
    • Why are changes made to a book on my device not propagating correctly to the other?
      • The most common reason for this is that one or more of the devices do not have the date/time set correctly. Having incorrect time settings on a device will cause sync to behave erratically.
      • The other reason could be that the "Sync To Furthest Point" is not consistently set across all devices.
    • How do I safely transfer my Aldiko Sync settings to another device (with Titanium Backup or similar apps)?
      1. Turn off automatic sync on the device before backup.
      2. Restore on new device (app + data).
      3. Open sync app, click on Settings -> Reset State and enable automatic sync.
      4. Run a manual sync operation to ensure all books are synced down to the new device correctly.
    • How do I recover books from the TrashCan folder into Aldiko?
      1. From the device, use a brower or the Dropbox app to log into the Dropbox account.
      2. Navigate to the book in the TrashCan folder.
      3. Download the book to the device. The thumbnail/cover images are not needed.
      4. Import the downloaded book into the Aldiko library.
      5. Open the sync app and click on the Sync button to sync the "new" book to Dropbox.
      6. Delete the folder that contains the book from the TrashCan folder on Dropbox.
    • How do I trigger a sync with Tasker?
      • This feature is available in the Pro Version.

        Tasker allows you to have finer control over when a sync is triggered. Note that when a sync is triggered this way, the "Optimize Network Traffic" feature is disabled.

        To trigger a sync with Tasker, you send commands to the app using a Tasker Action Intent.
        When Tasker presents its list of Actions, select Misc Action, then Action Intent.
        When tasker prompts for the 'Action', enter com.ucr.aldikosync.triggersync
        The Category should remain at its default of None, and the optional Data field should be left blank.The Extra fields should also be left blank.
        The Target field should remain at its default of Broadcast Receiver.

    I use MyUnlock Utilities to do an automatic unlock and it does not interfere with AldikoSync.

    could the same be done for moon+reader
    many like it better than aldiko,
    i am on the fence between the too. I like moon reader better from a reading perspective. but synching will seal the deal.

    Sorry, I don't use Moon reader. I looked at it in the market at it says the Pro version has a "bookmarks share" feature. Does that do what you're looking for?

    Can this be used to add books to my phone from my PC? I put some new ebooks into the dropbox folder on my PC. I can see the files in the dropbox on my phone but I do not see them in Aldiko after running the Sync.

    You must first import the books into Aldiko from one device before they can be seen by my app.

    To do that, try this on the phone that has the new books:

    • Open Aldiko and then navigate to the "Home" screen within it.
    • You should see an option called "SD Card".
    • Click that option, navigate to the dropbox folder on the SD card, and import your books from it into Aldiko.
    • Once they are in Aldiko, use my app to do a sync.
    Now, use my app as usual from any of your other devices and the new books will get added to the device if they don't exist.

    Let me know if you have any issues.
