My Library doesn't work after JB update - Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps

The ebook app loads, finds my books, prepares the cover thumbnails, but crashes when I try to open a book.
Anyone with similar experience?
Any idea how to resolve the problem?
I am happy with the just arrived 4.1 firmware (WW) but I really liked MyLibrary, don't want to loose it.

yeah a few app don't work like they used too, but I don;t use MyLibirary so not an issue here. Currents works but has some bugs now so does the IMDb app. Hopefully update will be on the way soon and remedy some of the bugs.
E-mail Asus and and let them know and hopefully they will get a fix out soon.

Weird, mine works just fine. I guess maybe you should try doing a factory reset, or just use another app for reading books.

Before doing a factory reset (and losing all data unless backed up), try to do a cold boot. It wipes Cache and Dalvik cache, if I remember correctly. Shutdown the tablet and start it by holding Volume Down + Power for 10 or 15 seconds. You will get to a screen with two options (Wipe and Android, don't select any), just keep pressing until you see written in the upper left corner "Linux cold boot" in white letters. Then release the buttons and wait until the tablet boots.

I've done a cold boot, then a factory reset, but nothing helped.
OK, it's not a tragedy, I installed another app (Mantano Reader) that works well, but it's weird that this is the only app that doesn't function after JB update. Has anyone else the same experience?
I'm just guessing maybe the 804 epub file were too many for MyLibrary which I have in my SD card and the software tried to import all automatically. But Mantano did it without problem...

Try the app, Nook, works great on my JellyBeaned Transformer

Thanks for the idea, I've tried it. Nice app but I did not find the way how to import the many books I have on my SD card. It seemed to me that I can read only those books with the app which I purchased. So the Nook app was useless for me. Uninstalled.

Try these Kobo, aldiko, moonreader. The thing with the nook app is that you need to import your ebooks to the app specific folder so it recognizes them, not sure if you can change folder location within the app's setting.

Yeah I recently had the same problem. All you have to do is move your books onto the SD card and into the Nook folders and then.. * my documents* paste all of your books into this folder. And bada boom ur good.

OK, I stayed for Kobo for the moment... Thanks again.
But in exchange of the money spent for this nice toy we should have a 100% working Transformer Pad after the OFFICIAL JB update.
I do hope the new, bug-free firmware will come very soon!

Use a file manager to copy your books from sd card to the folder my documents that is created in the Nook directory, then choose my files from within the program, files must be epub. You may have to have a B&N account, but Nook App is my main reader. I've tried Mantano reader also, it's a good reader.

I bought the tf300t 3 days ago. Jelly bean preinstalled and i updated the same day to the latest versian. Nice tablet, everything works well exept Mylibrary, it force closes within 30 seconds. I now use cool reader, wich i alsoused on my other tablet a P7510 Samsung.

The same happens since the 4.2.1 update.
It worked fine on ICS and the 4.1.1 OTA, now it doesn't work. It FC's after loading a book.
Cheers!

Perhaps try the ebookdroid app from the market? It's free and handles more formats than the native library crap. Just a thought.

Thanks, but it is useless for me. Almost all my books are in '.epub' format. Ebookdroid does not handle epub.

After the factory 4.2 update MyLibrary works again normally! I can read all my books (although I have more than 800 in my SDCard).

NOOK for Android by B&N apk 2.7.2.12 (download link here)

It works once you've set up a B&N account.
Not sure but some books may not be available to people outside the US. So far I haven't had a problem.
I have relatives in the US who have Nook Color's and Touch's so I can share books from their libraries.
thanks for uploading this. Yes, it works outside US.
Even though the app is horrible, slow and featureless , it uses the same page number as my nook so its my only option to avoid the pain of figure out page numbers between devices.

Can't you just fake your provider to Verizon or something using Market Enabler and then find it in the Market? That's what I do.
giant_rider,
How did you manage to install the apk?
I copied it to an SD card and also copied it to an internal folder.
Both times when I tried to run it, I got a parse error.
Same thing happened with another ereader I attempted to run.
MickeyBear, I downloaded the file using Opera Mini and has the same file corruption problem. It works when I re-download on the desktop and uploaded to my Dropbox.

Thanks! It downloaded and installed fine, but when I launch it, it just goes back to my home screen. Maybe it isn't intended to work on a stock rooted NOOK... Bummer! Thought it might be a way to get access to my BN subscriptions until the issues with downloads from BN Shop and Market are resolved. Oh, well! Thanks for the quick response!
Switching to Kindle for Android is perhaps the best solution if you want to buy e-books, but magazines like The New Yorker display great on the plain Nook with 1.4.1. I would buy some stuff from B&N, but if I can't install third party apps I prefer to go with another rom from SD and without the B&N reader for Android. Bye bye NOOK-Book-eBook-store...

Quickoffice Pro HD

Has anybody been able to get Quickoffice Pro HD to install on their prime? It looks like the Amazon app store will allow it to be installed but I'd rather install it from the Android app store, I heard that the version on Amazon doesn't get updated as frequently. I tried searching but nothing came up, hopefully this hasn't been addressed already. Thanks!

It is not available for ICS. I was little disappointed when I found out after I updated my Captivate however Polaris seems to work good so far and should hold you over until they update it.
Yeah polaris doesn't seem too bad, I was hoping to get quickoffice before I go back to school on Monday but polaris will have to do until they make it available. Good to know that it is working though. Excited to use this thing to take notes in class!

hey guys,
i just got my prime yesterday and i've tried opening multiple docs (saved and new) in quick office pro hd (from amazon) and it showed the text as white regardless of the document. i could select, cut, copy, paste, even change the format of the text, but i still couldn't see it in quickoffice. i saved a new doc in QOP HD and opened it in polaris. the text was there - i just couldn't see it in QOP HD.
Could this be an ICS compatibility issue?
Thanks guys!
Surprising the lack of support for ICS from them. This is the only program that I know of that will open and work with macro excel files.
Bought QOPHD directly from the website - Has worked fine since (It can also open the infamous Polaris corrupted saved files)
ps: you need to specify tf101 instead of prime when buying from their website

You have it working with ice cream sandwich?
Curious why it is not on the Market supporting the Prime if it works on it. I won't buy unless it is on the Market or Amazon.
I actually bought my copy from Amazon and it works fine on the Prime.
I got it from the Amazon Marketplace when they had it as a Free App of the Day. It's worked flawlessly for me on my Prime so far.

Yeah, seems to work well these last few weeks. One of the best office apps on android too.
IT DOES NOT WORK 100%
Downloaded after paying $20, and it works fine for most programs, however several macro excel docs have errors and I get an insufficient memory error before crashing. Sometimes even a failure to render graphics error. All with macro files. Before someone says something smart I have 160gb total.
I got it a few weeks back via the Amazon App Market, but I'm not too impressed with the app.
Obviously I can't use basic Window's Shortcut keys for highlighting text and the familiar, but that's the OS' fault, not the app.
It doesn't have spell-check, at least not as far as I know, so it was quite annoying when I found out I had about 6 spelling errors in my speech outline after I re-opened it on actual MS Word.
Doesn't have the ability to change margins, again at least not as far as I know, so it's not exactly the smartest app to use for typing a formal document. This also applies with being able to change the spacing size and what not.
There was a few other minor things that annoyed me, but I can't quite remember them.
Other than those flaws, the app works as intended and is useable. I hope they add some key features that's missing compared to the actual MS Word program.

Hey, just searched for the problem that I was having and I see that you have the same problem, the white text. I figured it out on my HP Touchpad running ICS. Its the Force Hardware Acceleration that is causing the problem. The instant you uncheck that option under developer settings the text shows up perfectly.

[Q] Can only view Google Docs while editing?

When I try to view my Google Docs word processor docs on my tablet, all I see is an empty white page. I don't actually see the text of my document until I tap the pencil icon to enter edit mode. This only happens on the word processor docs and not the spreadsheet docs. Does anyone else have this problem or am I all alone?
More importantly, does anyone know a way to fix it? I've tried clearing data and uninstalling/reinstalling the app, but nothing seems to work.
googdocs has always been janky.
same problem, but when you click edit it shows up perfectly. not sure what is wring with the view mode.

I use it... Sadly, the QR function doesn't work (the camera won't start) and the screenshot thing doesn't work too (even if rooted).
I just downloaded it based on your suggestion and I have to say, this app kicks ass. No more USB cable, ADB, exporting files from dropbox, everything syncs seamlessly. Just what I was looking for.
I use it for a while and I love it. I also have the with cam to scan code.. This must be linked to our device as utilisé working on my mobile phone

Airdroid on Asus Transformer Pad TF300T
Hi there! First, I want to THANK YOU for this amazing app you created. I use it all the time, and I love it.
I'm sending this email because the QR Code reader of the app doesn't work on my TF300T: it opens a black screen, without the camera. This is the only problem I have with your app, and it would be really great if you fix this (since it will be easy to connect to airdroid, no password needed).
I would also like tomake a little sugestion. When the app runs on a tablet in landscape mode (horizontally), airdroid forces the screen to use the portrait mode (vertically). This is really annoying, especially if I have the dock keyboard connected with the tablet.
Well, thanks in advance, and good luck with your project

Can you explain more? "Them" as in all together or as in one by one ? Because I am sure I can move one (eg a sub-directory in a directory) though I don't use the drag and drop

im talking about multiple directories at one time, as sometimes I transfer folders and files and it only lets you transfer multiple files, not multiple folders,
best option is to use ftp server/client as this works, until fixed,
please explain
Could you explain how you connect thru "ftp server/client". Thanks
Check out swiftftp, works a treat on both my tf300and sgs2
Thanks. Will do.
unfortunately for me this app is really slow when trying to access anything from their website. Takes ages for messages and files to show up on the site. I'm using a fibre optic connection so shouldnt be an issue!

Sumsung TouchWiz eBook

So I ended up needing Samsung stock TouchWiz ebook, going thru all the posts and various apk files try, none worked perfectly, you either get force close, or import crashes (yes, someone posted work around, but a little pain), and some said it does not highlights the text..etc...
This also goes back to my other post "possible to port TouchWiz to JB/CM10/CM9 ROM", i believe this is the biggest issue to make all mini Samsung Apps to work for any other ROMs.
We all have love & hate for Samsung TouchWiz, I just wished that someone come up TouchWiz port that can be installed to any ROM, but i guess it is rather complex to do that since TouchWiz buried under all the touchwiz framework, so must be quite challenging to extract and port to other ROMs.

I was in exact same situation. Today I tried "Cool Reader" (not the best name i know) and I think it's the best reader I've ever used so far. Of course your needs could differ but that app is incredibly customizable. Try it if u haven't yet.
I have never been able to get eBooks to work perfectly outside of TouchWiz. The biggest roadblock is that you need My Files and I believe that depends on TouchWiz.
If you could get that ported over I'm sure ebooks would work.

yeap. you probably right about MyFiles app, and it is system app, even if I tried to drop the file system/app folder and gave correct permission, it still crashes on reboot. so like many other small samsung apps probably depends on touchwiz framework..
Did you already tried Moon Reader? For me it's the best reader so far.
The only one that comes close to being the best is Aldiko, but I paid to have TouchWiz and I want what I want.

agreed - Moon Reader is the only reader I've been using for a while now... frequently updated, customizable - great app. :good:
I want the eBook that I had on the Tab before the ICS update. It doesn't work anymore. I have MyFiles, but eBook won't start now no matter what. I tried Cool Reader and Aldiko, but still like the eBook better. Is it possible to get it to work? How about Readers Hub? I can't install that one either. It's supposed to be a replacement of eBook. Please, help.
You can still install the ebook app through the samsung apps if you are on stock ics.
And what if someone(me)) can't install Samsung Apps?
No, I can't. As a matter of fact, eBook is still installed and has an icon for it in the app drawer. But if I tap it, it just brings up the Samsung Apps app with eBook page. If I choose "get it", it gives me some error, that it can't be downloaded. I'm stock, BTW.
Can anybody check if their eBook app is functioning on stock ICS?
The other question, can somebody upload Readers Hub here? And will it work on our Tabs?

I just recently did a factory reset and the only trouble I had was with my password but otherwise ebooks downloaded and installed just fine.
If you have root I can just pull my ebooks/odex files and send them over to you tomorrow.
I appreciate it, serosis. But I'm stock, not rooted. I'll try to delete cache and see if it helps at all. I tried Aldiko and Cool Reader and even Toshiba book reader app. I like Sammy's better.

I tried to delete cache of eBook and Samsung Apps. I started the Tab by holding vol up button and deleted cache from there too. I wanted to uninstall the eBook app, but that's not an option (same as some other "system" apps).
