[APP][CM9]Evernote/Kindle UI for ICS

Kem-El · Feb 11, 2012

If you're running the latest ICS nightly (since 2012-02-02, I think) and use Evernote, you've probably noticed that it not longer displays the tablet UI.

For some reason, the Evernote app calculates width of the screen is 4.xxxx instead of the 7.xxxx required for displaying the tablet UI.

I've modified the APK to ignore the calculation so that the app displays the tablet UI.

I hope you like it.

com.evernote-2.apk

UPDATE: Some people have asked me to look at the Kindle app too.
Looking into it, but it is a little more complex ...

Kem-El · Feb 11, 2012

If you already have Evernote, you'll need to uninstall it before trying to install this one.

Tip:
Copy this to /system/app to ensure you'll never lose it ...
That way if you update the app thru the market and lose the tablet UI you can uninstall updates

Hey, cool! I read about this in your posts on the user thread. How did you do this? I don't know enough to diagnose it, but I would be interested in digging through a couple different apps in this manner.

HacDan · Feb 15, 2012

Do you have access to the block of code you changed or are you dis-assembling this to make this work? This is a common problem across a few google apps as well (chrome, docs, etc) Just wondering if you had any insight into the root problem.

mateorod · Feb 15, 2012

Yeah, that's why I want to know as well. I saw people asking you to take a look at the Kindle app over in the development thread, and I figure instead of buying us dinner you could just teach us how to fish, you know?

Kem-El · Feb 16, 2012

Yeah I disassembled the apk.

Essentially, I searched the decompiled files for the word "tablet" ... When I thought I found what I was looking for, I compared it against the logcat.

Did you run it through a baksmali to get the classout and go from there?

Kem-El · Feb 16, 2012

Yeah I used apktools found here:

OMG can you do this for aldiko too?

Kem-El · Feb 24, 2012

Hey guys (and probably gals too) I'm sorry I haven't posted anything yet ... Work's been kinda hectic ...it appears I have some time this weekend, so I'll look into the kindle app ... If I have time (if the kindle is easy), I'll look at aldiko too

Since I don't really use these apps .. screenshots would help, I realize they'd be doctored and/or annotated

this would be great. http://blog.the-ebook-reader.com/2011/12/07/aldiko-ebook-reader-app-updated-for-tablets/ The movie on this page shows what it would look like in tablet mode. When you install it on your nook you should be able to see the phone mode.

you can also download the apk from their own website: www.aldiko.com whithout the market.

FWIW the official Kindle app update that just showed up on my GN claims that it's fixed margins and spacing on tablets. I'm not near my Nook, but let us know if it works.

Yeah unfortunately it's not fixed on the Nook Color or the Touchpad.

I'll upload a picture of the Kindle app and describe the differences of tablet mode and phone mode on the Nook. I am very interested in having my NC as well as my TP displaying the Kindle app correctly for landscape mode. Without the split screen with two pages displayed in landscape mode, it's a long traverse to read a line across the entire length if the tablet. Lol

If you still have time to look into this, I would be very grateful. No worries either way.

Thanks for the Evernote fix!

It is fixed in CM9 on the nook color. I have tested it. The margins and line spacing is much improved. You still cannot adjust them, but it is very readable. Make sure you have the very latest version.

Hi leapinar,
I am on the latest version and the Kindle app is not in tablet mode at 160 dpi. I do see the changes you mentioned. However just to be clear, when you hold your Nook in landscape orientation does the screen split and have two side by side pages like an open book?

Edit: I disassembled the apk, but it is not clear at all to me what is triggering the tablet view/install. I tried a few edits and reassembled the apk and nadda.. At this point I am just blindly throwing darts..

Kem-El · Mar 27, 2012

Guys,

Sorry about disappearing ... I was out of town for work for a couple of days and busy on a new work project.

I've looked at the new version of the Kindle app, and yes the margins are better, but having the ability to adjust them like the phone would be ideal.

I'm looking at the code to see if I can just swap out the tablet reader view with the phone view, giving us the phone menu options.

A little slow going ...

Would just like to second this - the app is actually semi-unusable without it being switched because there's no way to access 'menu' (no hard button on the NC and no softbutton shows up in the app).
