Dear XDA wizards,
Ever since I got to play around with the newly installed apps from the google play store, there was one in particular that stood out for me. Yep, google play books.
Its damn awesome even if it really could use the opening book animation that ibooks has. The only thing that's driving me crazy is the absence of the option to import your own epub or books you bought (or downloaded) elsewere.
I mean aldiko is fine alright, but i want to use this app. I searched round and round and nobody has found out a solution to this. Yes there has been filed a ticket at google, yes i can use other ebook apps and yes I read every freaking thread.
So i would kindly suggest if you can perform your magic to finding out why or better how to solve this.
somewhere it had to do with drm epub or something i thought.
thank you!

Moving to Q&A
I feel the same way. It would be amazing if Google would just add this feature in a future update or if an XDA wizard could come up with a workaround. I'm currently using the Nook app but Google Play Books is so much sexier.
Play Books just updated with a description saying it supports epub format. Does that mean we can import now? I can't figure out how! Help!!!

Indeed, that would be great! Prettiest reading app so far!
Has anyone made any breakthrough to import books with this app?
Bump - I'm curious about this as well. Ridiculous that Google doesn't allow importing...
Bump - searching for a solution too.
go to the playstore and download file converter app. it will give you choices on different formats to convert files to. with ebooks it pretty fast. just takes a few minutes. it even works for converting videos as well. to read the book just make sure you have a pdf reader and your good to go.

That's not what people are asking. You just described how to download the books you purchase in Google Play Books. Only useful if you want to read those purchased books offline.
We are all asking how to add our other books into our Google Play library app.
It's absolutely insane that even my Google Drive docs in PDF, ePub, and Mobi can't be opened on Android devices.
I hate to say this but Google Play is still a crappy market and service. The apps are great but Google, of all companies, has heavier DRM insanity than anyone else at this point. I can't even copy my mp3s purchased from Google Play to my wife's Play account (it says it was purchased from a different Play account and blocks it from upload).
Feedback to Google: great apps, ****ty Play store. Even in 2012, the only way to consume digital media is to buy your music from Amazon and buy your books/movies hard copy and download the digital books and movies from torrents (or torrent it all I guess and skip buying anything until they get their act together).
Bump - Any news about "Play Books"?
Will Google update the app or are there some developers trying to "fix" the app? Had you heard something about?
Bump,
How about we collectively send this in as a bug, which might give our desire for the import feature more attention.
I went to: support google.com/googleplay/bin/static.py?hl=en-GB&ts=2481847&page=ts.cs , and sent this in as if it were a bug. Which, I think it's fair to say it is. This is may biggest personal grievance from being in the android world, and I hope to push it to be resolved.
Edit:
Also, we should recommend this as a feature, support google.com/googleplay/bin/static.py?hl=en&page=suggestions.cs
The links doesn't work. Can you please update the links?

Has anyone had any luck viewing books in the Adobe Digital Edition format on the tablet? I've found two apps --- txtr and Overdrive --- that are supposed to work with Android but have not been able to open a book to read.
If you've been able to read books in ADE, please let me know what app you used and what steps you took to accomplish it.
Thanks!
The owner of Overdrive is a personal friend of mine... but to your question, I have downloaded their latest android apk (2.0) and downloaded a book from my local library through overdrive and it opens fine. I think it is an epub, but I am not sure which file type it is. I have not tried any of the audio books yet. I did have trouble with DRM files on my modded winmo 6.5 phone. They did not work. I will try an audio book later and report back to you.
I think that it is DRM books that I am having trouble with. I really want to be able to download epub books from my library and read them on the Gtab. I've read that some people have been able to do this using the latest version of Overdrive but I haven't been able to do it. I keep getting an error message that the file can't be read or that the file format isn't compatible. I've set up my Adobe ID and its been authenticated but I keep getting the errors.
EDIT: I should probably say that I am using Vegan beta 3 in case someone has this working on a different ROM.
I also keep getting error messages with ADE but was able to download book from my library onto Overdrive and opened fine on G-Tab

Sorry, forgot to mention, I am using tnt lite 2.00 I am a h old out!
What ROM are you using? Do you know if the book was in the ADE format?
The book has an ".epub" file extension. I am on tnt lite 2.00
I can confirm that the MP3 format of Overdrive audio book downloads from the library play fine. WMA audio format books are not compatible with Overdrive (not sure if they play on Android, but OMC says they are not compatible with Android.
it's like I am taking crazy pills!!!
First time post, sorry if it sucks.
I am a student and have managed to purchase all my textbook in some format that I can use on my G Tab running vegan beta 4 except one book that is a ADE PDF. I have tried txtr, overdrive, you name it (aldiko v1.5, google books, amazon) and I am going crazy.
The adobe thread is which has helpful info but no cigar forums.adobe.com/thread/485791
Class starts in a week and unless I get invited for the Aldiko 2.0 Beta (which does support ADE PDF) test I am stuck using the ADE Desktop application which is terrible for reading. Any help is appreciated.

I just sent an email to the president of Overdrive who is a personal friend of mine and posed your problem to him. Perhaps he might know of a solution. I will let you know if I hear back from him.
Thank you I appreciate it.
ADE works fine on my gtabs. My wife's is running stock 3389 with gapps and market, mine is running Tnt lite 3.1 with 3.1.3 supplement pack. No errors with Overdrive or ADE, have downloaded epubs from my library and reading just fine.
Aldiko 2.0 is on the market now. Only the premium version has been updated: http://www.appbrain.com/app/aldiko-book-reader/com.aldiko.android
I don't have any Adobe DRM books so I can't test it sorry.

i am running aldiko 2.0 and can confirm that .PDF books work fine for me! dont have any DRM books, but there is an option in the settings for Adobe DRM making it so you can login with your adobe ID and password to "open content protected with Adobe DRM".... so i would give that a try!
Thanks for the tip I downloaded aldiko 2.0 and can confirm ADE PDF'S work. Its not the best user experience but at least I can read my textbook.
Thanks for everyone's help.
You may wanna try converting to epub with Calibre

Downloading now. I'll give it a try and report back we might need to make a guide on how to maximize the reading experience on your G-Tab for different type of formats and readers.
**UPDATE**
Doing more research specifically on Calibre I found one major roadblock on the FAQ section of the Calibre website.
"Most purchased EPUB books have DRM. This prevents calibre from opening them. You can still use calibre to store and transfer them to your e-book reader. First, you must authorize your reader on a windows machine with Adobe Digital Editions. Once this is done, EPUB books transferred with calibre will work fine on your reader. When you purchase an epub book from a website, you will get an ”.acsm” file. This file should be opened with Adobe Digital Editions, which will then download the actual ”.epub” e-book. The e-book file will be stored in the folder “My Digital Editions”, from where you can add it to calibre."
Another little bit on books with DRM.
"ny e-book with DRM cannot be converted to a different format. This is because conversion itself would require the removal of the DRM. Not all e-book formats support DRM and different e-book formats support different sets of privileges granted by the DRM. There is no way to move the DRM with the content when converting; thus DRM prevents conversion."
ADE Problem
I am trying to set up my tab to get books from NY public library but having several problems. First, no programs are letting me input my Adobe info. Overdrive and Aldiko keep giving me some kind of error about the server. Also, NYPL website keeps telling me I need to register a mini-reader account (or whatever the program is that would be used for a blackberry)
Have any of you run into this problem or have any suggestions? It seems like some of you got t to work...
Thanks in advance

The reason overdrive and aldiko weren't properly accepting my ADE ID and password was that the time on the G-tablet was incorrect. Once I reset the time (which keeps changing to be incorrect) it worked fine on both programs.
a) I will update when I have actually made sure that I can get books from the library, and
b) anyone know of a thread (or have an answer) for the reason why the clock won't automatically update itself when connected to the internet, or why it keeps changing to the wrong time?
Thanks!
Failed to authorize device
I have Adilko premium as well a txtr ereaders. In both, when attempting to sign in to adobe I get the error "failed to authorize device". The user id and password are correct (verified with multiple attempts) and there isn't a problem when using them with my g2 phone. The gtablet is running 4.2.4 with clemsyn kernel.
I was looking for a way to stream my media on the go. I tried VLC, but that was too buggy, orb was too slow and then I came across TVersity which works great.
You can access it with the webinterface when you are on the road. It works very good on the A101, but it is lacking some features. So I wondered if there is an apk available with some more features. If there isn't I think I am going to write one or adjust the webinterface.

I had some time this weekend and am almost done with writing my own app and webinterface for android to access the Tversity webserver.
If there is interest in this, I will develop it further, so that it is end user ready. If not I just fit it to my needs and I am done with it.
The program is a small apk that needs to be installed on the archos and some webfiles that needs to be copied to the server where Tversity is installed.
Maurice
I'm definitely interested!
me too on archos 10.1 and 7.0
love to get this app too
Nice work divx118!
Shame TVersity don't have a linux alternative. I do believe there is one in the works though, so I'll be keeping an eye on your project... if you undertake it that is.

Unfortunately there is indeed no linux or mac version available. For now it is windows only.
If I find some time next weekend I will see if I get a beta version ready no promisses though. For serving videos I have it almost ready. There are however some issues with streaming audio when you are not on the local network. With some files the music player on my 101 will crash. I think it is the long url that is the problem I had no time to investigate if this is indeed true. I myself will not use music streaming, but I see if it is possible to solve this.
For video files I have thumbnail support, with a work a round. It needs the thumbnail with the same name as your videofile in a folder where also my webcontrol will be.
If you however have XBMC installed it is just a few minutes work todo this. I am also looking if I can get it to work for the parent folders, now it is only working for the video files itself.
Maurice
very interested, i already use tversity for 360 streaming.
I'm interested also!
I'm interested as well...
I am still working on it. My free time is however limited. That is why it is taken so long. Atleast this weekend I have some time available.
A little update on what still needs to be done and what is ready before a first release:
1) creating the APK to install on your archos. This is ready and is working for videofiles streaming. TODO for the APK is cleaning up the code and put in some error catching. Also I still have to decide if I use a new intent to play audio files or integrate the mediaplayer in the apk. For videos I use a new intent, this means it will start the default videoplayer for playing your videofiles. For audio this didn't work so well in my testing.
For handling the pictures I decided to do that entirely in the webcontrol, which is much easier.
2) The webcontrol is also almost ready. TODO is integration of pictures viewing like a slideshow etc.
The features are pretty simple. You can add two urls in the apk one for if your are on your local network and on for when you are on the road. Further you can adjust the number of items that will be displayed in one view. I tested with 100 items and it was very fast.
You can choose between thumbnail view and listview for pictures and a seperate item view setting when in thumbnail view.
If you have anymore features that should be added you can just post a reply with your suggestions.
Maurice
thanks for this.
the default video player isn't cutting it for me.
Can't wait to test this out when it's released
ditto, can't wait to test it out!
Hi,
Try Qloud Video, it is same as 'AirVideo' on iPhone,
search it in market and you will surprise.
Leo
Any chance we can get a look at your current app? I am dying to get my hands on it. If not such is the way of life.
Interested, this would be awesome to have.
Just a little update:
Playing audio in the apk is ready. Audioplayer is pretty simple start, pause, next song, previous song and shuffle the playlist. You can also click on a song in the playlist. Only playing mp3 gives sometimes a scrambled output. It seems to be an archos issue.
You can use a horizontal swipe to switch between audioplayer and the webview.
I also want the same implementation for images, because displaying them in the webview is a bit slow. That is what I am working on right now.
Another feature I added is when rotating the archos the GUI rotates too.
However it still needs some work before a first release, it is the first time I code in java and on android. So I need todo some research to see how things are done. Also I don't want to release a version that only half works and then putting my time in answering questions "when do we get an update?", "Why doesn't the app work?" and so on.
Please be patient
The release will be in the near future, I guess I need a few more free weekends, maybe less to finish it.
Thanks to all for your interest.

BTW I am going to add a new feature, downloading files.

SugarSync is the best syncronization solution i've tested so far
some of the features that attracted me mostly
- 5GB of free space (+ 500MB)
- sync the files between all the computers and devices
- music streaming
- photo sharing
- etc. (Also, as long as you keep getting referrals, you keep getting 500mb+)!
If you register through my referral link you'll get an additional 500MB (I also get)
https://www.sugarsync.com/referral?rf=ehxb6c0ogsep7
The switch is worth it. It is much more user friendly and has extra features compared to dropbox.

I understand, but if you emailed them, they should be quick in your response, i just emailed them about Symbian and they responded in less than 2 hours. Got to give them props to that. I'm sure however, that they are working on Linux, several other people have emailed them about this situation in the past.
I joined for your sake but will prbably wait until they fix the issues with Android. From what I have read it appears it is a battery hog and files don't sync 100% of the time. But hey, I got you another 500mb....

I have used Sugar Sync for awhile now and find it rather nice. I have not noticed any battery or sync issues on my end. Also, with the Cloud Save extension for Google Chrome it's really easy to get files on your phone if Chrome to Phone is giving you problems. I am somewhat surprised that Google has not jumped on the cloud storage train yet (other than Music Beta).
I like it! I already got another 750mb free by doing their little "getting started" tasks.

Seems nice, I really like being able to sync/download a single folder at once, unlike Dropbox, which is 1 file at a time. The "getting started" stuff never worked for me kept telling me to do it again so I just left it alone
I'm using the MarketAccess app with latest market version and it works flawless. I did not liked the original icon and also the fact that the icon title was not spanning properly on the screen. So I edited the original .apk and replaced the icon as well the title.

Is there any basic guide on how to best use this?
MarketAccess is a branch of MarketEnabler. Personally, I use its very basic function.
With the Market closed, I go to:
Market Access > Providers > T-Mobile
Then, I open the Market and install any US restricted apps. Once I'm done with it, I reboot the phone and the default settings are automatically restored. As I said, pretty simple and basic.
From what I understood, you did not create this, (correct me if I'm wrong ) therefore it doesnt belong in the development section
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
What kind of useful apps are US only?
My favorite are:
Amazon Mobile
Google Books
Google Music
Google TV Remote
Netflix
Not sure if Books are now open to everyone, they just added Google Videos to Canada.
Personally, I live 45min from the US border and I have an US address/credit card. We have Netflix in Canada but the selection really sucks, compared to US.
I use a E4200 DD-WRT router as PPTP server with US IP's to all my devices (Google TV, mobile, tablet, etc.) when I'm at home. For example, you need an US IP to upload your music to Google Music site but you can use any IP to download/broadcast Music/Video's to any of your mobile devices. I know is not easy, but is worth the trouble. It really sucks that we have all those restrictions.
At least I can get all my music anywhere, without taking any space on my mobile.

Credit is clearly given into OP, I certainly hope is not going to ruin your day.
I saw many mods posted here (if you can call my change a mod... took me 2min to modify the APK), so I think is the best place for it, since is not related to Original Android development.
MOD = modification of an existing application created by someone else
There are tons of MOD threads listed in this forum, from what I saw.
Still, if I'm wrong, please let me know what would the the appropriate forum so I post there next time.

Mate it seems to be working partially with the new market 3.1.5
You can see the currency changed to USD but you can't see the regional apps.
Could someone confirm this ?
Thanks.
It's true. I found a trick for this maybe it's too much of a headache but if you want to use new market then what you have to do is
1. Install market access.
2. Go emulate say for example t mobile.
3. Go to settings/applications/manage/ and then uninstall the updates for market. .
4. So now you have the old market. Now open the market.
5. Then wait for some time. Since it is connected to t-mobile it will update to new market.
6. Now you can download all the apps you want with new market.
The thing is it only works till restart. Then you have to repeat all the steps again.
Big hassle I know but if you absolutely have to use the new market then this is one way. Cheers.
P. S. Simply use old market with market access and freeze market updater using titanium backup to avoid all the hassle and use US APPS.

Can you give me an example of app that does not work?
I'll test it on my phone with Market 3.1.5 and let you know guys. So far all apps worked for me, I'm in Canada.
Edit: I think I know why is probably not working for some of you.
You need an US IP address as Wi-Fi spot. My DD-WRT router is set as PPTP server and broadcasts an US IP through wireless as well wired connections. So when my phone connects to the market, it does it through an US IP. Using the VPN directly into phone will not cut it.

Is there a new version for the latest Google Play ?
Hello everybody,
I've been highly anticipating the arrival of Google Play in the UK ever since I heard of the cloud service where the user can store up to 20,000 songs from their personal library onto the cloud so they can access it on the browser and Android devices. On paper, it sounds amazing but as usual, there's an issue.
I've been trying to set it up all night but unfortunately it keeps asking me to create a Google Wallet account. I only have access to a Maestro debit card so I shoved in the 16 digit code only to find an error- 'Invalid credit card number' even though it states debit cards are supported. I can't seem to find a way around this so I'm pretty stuck. It's incredible how one of the largest companies in the world want my debit details in order to verify my location.
So, I'm wondering if there's a way past this. My iPod Classic is almost at the end of it's life and music is a very big part of my life so not being able to carry my 7000+ song collection around with me it's a real bummer.
Basically, any way around this or an alternative (Apart from anything that requires a subscription e.g Spotify)
Thank you,
Curtis

So, I'm wondering if there's a way past this. My iPod Classic is almost at the end of it's life and music is a very big part of my life so not being able to carry my 7000+ song collection around with me it's a real bummer.
Basically, any way around this or an alternative (Apart from anything that requires a subscription e.g Spotify)
Thank you,
Curtis

You can just skip that option in the Google Play app theres no need to set up a Google Wallet account just press the right arrow when on that screen to skip it.

Hi CurtisAndroid5,
Thats just the start screen havent you got any music on your phone? it doesnt look like it.
Have you got the google music manager software installed on your pc? if not get it from here https://play.google.com/music/listen?u=0#manager_pl
Then upload some music from your pc to it and you can play it from your google play music app on your phone.
Just to note when uploading new music you need to refresh in settings in the app on your phone so it see.
yeah. you need to add the music to the cloud from your desktop computer before it shows up from your Google Music account
I know that. My problem is with setting up Google Wallet in order to register my account to allow me to use Play Music. I emailed Google and Maestro isn't accepted yet which resolves my issue as to why my card isn't accepted.
