I have a Nexus 7(3013) flashed with Ubuntu Touch.
In the PDF viewer I can expand documents to about 200% in portrait, a bit more ~250% in landscape mode.
I need to use the tablet primarily to zoom in and swipe around to view large PDF air carts and checklists with the tablet mounted on the control yoke.
Is there a file I can edit to allow more zoom % flexibility?
(can't do anything right now until I replace cracked LCD)
Should probably not be too hard to implement. You might want to talk to the developers of the document viewer app: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-docviewer-app

I'm looking for an application that will enable me to scribble notes onto photos that i take with my device's camera.
I'm hoping to either use the SIP to annotate a photo with typed text, or an ink tool that will allow me to write text on the photo - ideally at various zoom levels and text sizes and colours. And to add lines, with and without arrowhead(s).
Can anyone recommend such an app? Does such a thing exist?

How easy is it to read PDFs on the tablet where you're viewing it a full page at a time? (PDFs that are designed to be printed on A4 sized paper or technical book sized paper).
I've got a ton of ebooks, manuals and other such documents in PDF format. I would love to use the Tablet as a PDF reader but only if it can be comfortably read while viewing a whole page at a time. I don't want to be doing any zooming/panning around the page.
Just to clarify, this is when holding tablet in portrait mode. Also, assume the PDF pages are like that of a typical technical book.
Depends on the PDF no? One with large margins and tiny text won't be as legible as one with bigger text. But I find most PDFs look good in portrait mode.
I bought the GT 10.1 primarily for reading tech docs. It works very well for this purpose, but a few things to note:
An letter sized page is a bit small. But after zooming (Acrobat PDF, or QuickOffice) in to eliminate the margins, it is still smaller than normal, but only slightly.
An app that automatically cropped margins and allowed inverted image would be perfect. I have not found one yet.
Landscape mode is effectively same size (width) as letter. So 100% reproduction, but you do have to scroll.
mantano reader can crop. aldiko is cheap against that reader.
Yes, comfortably without zoom+pan
I use repligo reader for its excellent graphical page rendering, giving the clear text effect to scanned pages, even at full screen width view! Use expdf primarily for annotation but repligo for pure reading pleasure, even turning pages is faster in repligo, hence highly recommended.
repligo ist the fastest one but it lacks in formatting options.
I am happy with repligo's page rendering, it makes my over zoomed scanned pdf books more readable
Big fan of ezPDF, well worth the two bucks

the adobe reader android app has the "rescroll text" option which is very good at utilizing the whole screen and sizing the font and line changes accordingly.
Hello everyone,
I'm thinking on a virtual/augmented reality project in which you wear a wielders mask (like this) and an android smartphone attached to its vizor. Because the phones screen is going to be so close to the eyes I need to know if it's possible to change the user interface to side by side parallel format stereoscopic view. That way it will be possible for the eyes to focus to the image onscreen with the aid of convex lenses. It doesn't have to be 3D, i just need a technique to turn what's shown on the screen to side by side parallel format.
Please reply, thanks...

I should wait for a couple of months if I were you. Check this out: Oculus Rift search for it on YouTube, this thing is awesome and I think is totally what you're looking for, only better!
EDIT: for YouTube click here
So, Google Cardboard gives a huge display that doesn't strain your eyes. Therefore it might be useful to view any app if it is in Side-by-Side mode (such as netflix, or even a text editor together with a keyboard).
There is no native support in android for SBS, but is it possible to have developers add this feature to ROMs?
Hi guys,
Just received my phone. Got the latest Android version and I'm fairly happy with it.
Got a quick question - How vulnerable is the glass in front of the camera? I really want to maintain the image quality, but knowing that the phone has a camera bump and it's literally rubbing against surfaces, I wanted to ask whether any of you got noticeable scratches on it? I still have the protective plastic sticker on it which reduces the quality greatly, but I just want to know whether I should really think about how to protect the camera glass? (Like sticking a washer on it, etc.)
Also, something I have found out: The phone takes RAW (DNG) photos with the stock camera only. Which you then (blindly & 1 by 1) need to convert to .tiff using DCraw Mobile app. Then, you end up with ~70mb 16bit tiff file which you can import into Lightroom/Photoshop. Now the whole process is a bit time-consuming. Anyone found any workarounds this?
Sorry for all the questions, but I really like this phone. I'm planning on sticking with it for a while. So I have to be careful not to wreck it.
Cheers!

Freedcam Can provide proper dng capture on almost all mediatek devices which opens in pretty much all raw development tools
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/camera-freedcam-4-0-3-t3115548
What you will need todo is provide a raw sample and camera parameters text
Open freedcam Swipe Right Scroll down Save Camera Parameters
Swipe left to close menu you will see an icon with jpeg underneath tap on it select raw if you download from playstore in the new beta its named bayer once youve done all that locate the files at DCIM/FreedCam attach a link to them and in dng support will be added for the p9000

I just fell in love with FreeDCam! Only if it worked with DNG, that would make me a really happy person.
Is that what I needed to attach?

Awesome! Here's the link to the file on Drive: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B9nIMxxem_mtTURkVk83WGZoYzg
Thank you so much! You will get loads of appreciation here, I'm sure!
@empy16
Give that a try
In Picture format button where it had jpeg written tap on it and select DNG
Let me know how it goes if Successful you will need to shoot a white image DNG so I can create a FlatFielD correction to be added to DNG Metadata.
Easiest Quickest way place a a white page A4 printing page on top PC Monitor Set PC background to White at Full Brightness Defocus the image with manual focus / set infinity focus set iso100 take the image of the page make sure not to include your fingers in the image lol.
Should DNG Capture but experience FC it maybe caused by my android studio in that case I've pushed the Elephone 9000 to my got will ask the other dev to build

Works like a charm!
I will try to produce the white DNG when I get a chance (Today or Tomorrwo). Thanks!
Right, even with FreeDCam DNG/RAW capture does not work on Custom non-stock roms like ResurrectionRemix or Cyanogenmod. Any chance for a fix. I really need this, this was a big selling point for me.
