so far it does installs, but always crashes when you tried import.

go here

you also need MyFiles.apk to be able to import books. both Ebook and MyFiles are resigned. tested on my galaxy tab 10.1v (stock ics non-touchwiz rom)

I have made the following changes:
- to MyFiles.apk (taken from earler honeycomb P7500 touchwiz rom) :
-- no support for external usb storage as my tab doesn't support it, don't have time to add some try-catch statements to make it compatible with devices that support it.
-- disabled android.intent.action.MEDIA_MOUNTED receiver, so an activity won't show up on boot (we don't need this is anyway)

- to Ebook.apk
-- default font is changed to DroidSansFallback. CODE2000.TTF removed from assets/fonts/
-- replaced libadobermsdkwrapper.so with one from P7500's honeycomb Ebook.apk. default library results in crashes on my tablet.
-- CODE2000.TTF replaced with Roboto-Regular.ttf
-- small change to com/samsung/elibreader/BookshelfLibraryViewer to make it work with my MyFiles.apk. otherwise it would require newe MyFiles.
-- disabled tts language detection.
-- fixed a memory leak due to not implemented native method (related to screen capturing, takeSnapshot in FBSnapshotMaker or something)

as a result of the above TTS will not work at all. LensControl may work or may not work, depends, it doesn't for me

there is still a horrible memory leak in bookshelf's show by title / category / author views. MAT gives some hints that it is related to a ListView instance. I support a layoutinflater.... I may fix that in the future, or I may not fix, depends :))

I have also uploaded modified sources so you guys know what and where has been changed, search for "# " comments.

remember, no guarantees, "works for me" doesn't mean that it will also work for you.

and @Luxor thanks for sharing the apk. I've been fighting some really weird bugs with a newer apk, this one is alot better.

Awesome work!

Confirmed works in CM 10.1 on Tab 10.1 WiFi (P7510).

Now I can scratch that excuse off my list of reasons I prefer stock ROMs.

Now if only 4.2 were as smooth as 4.1...

download Ebook.apk and MyFiles.apk on your tablet, then install like serosis said

can you check for the memory leak mentioned above ? import 50 - 100 books, switch bookshelf view to list, go to "by author", scroll up/down few times and try opening a book or watch memory usage in ddms (should not exceed 25 - 30MB)

Seo,

I successfully installed both apps to my wife's Transformer Tab T300. The ebook reader works well, I can also import books, but I have one problem: some accented letters are not shown (I am Hungarian and we have some funny characters). Maybe because you deleted a font from the app. The Samsung ebook reader on my Galaxy Tab 7.7 shows those letters well.

Would it be possible to compile a version with the proper fonts too?

Thanks in advance!

Thank you for this apk.
One question : Is it possible to remove the limit of 200 books? I know it sounds strange, there is no real need to have more than 200 books imported in the app, but I use it as my library and like to manage everything directly in the application.

MyFiles app

Hi Seo,

I appreciate very much your port of Samsung Ebook and MyFiles apps! I use it every day on my Transformer Pad TF300T. The only remaining problem is that I have 800+ ebooks in my micro SDHC card and I always have to copy to the internal card those I want to import into the Ebook app.

I know I may ask too much for you, but would it be possible to modify the MyFiles in order to recognise also the SDHC card? In Transformer Pad the route is '\Removable\MicroSD'.

Thanks a lot again in advance!

Best regards,

Tibor

try the stock MyFiles.apk, get it here: extract the zip file and look in data/app_s/

EDIT: err. it won't work, sorry. I forgot that this is a P7100 port and I already applied my changes to its MyFiles.apk :)) try finding some deodexed android 3.1 / 3.2 rom for P7500 (tab 10.1)

EDIT 2: try this one

I don't have much time for this atm, but can look on it maybe next weekend, I need an apk or a link to ROM which has it included.

EDIT: reader hub is no go, a big no-no, sorry ;)

I tried it but force closes. :(

Anyway, thanks for trying to help. It's not a big problem since I still have space on my internal storage, so, I can copy all my ebooks onto it if I want...

Cheers,

post a stacktrace from "adb logcat".

alternative: re-download the *original* Ebook.apk. it has been updated with some try-catches * to work on both devices with or without external storage. but if -exttest1 doesn't work, this would probably not work too ;)

alternative 2: I have also uploaded .src.zip files. ask a developer who has some *smali* knowledge and your device in hand to fix it, he would easily see my comments (EDIT: in source)

Every thing seems to work perfectly except selecting more than one word. It crashes. Should I post a log cat.?

Please sir, I am looking to buy $500 of college books and this feature is crucial for studying purposes

This reader FCs for me on CM10.1 with Nova Launcher. I have not attempted to debug/correct.

My normal reader, Aldiko, had had no such issue. Multi-word select works fine - just checked.
