Updated Reader app, anytime soon?
Morkl, can we have a re-comepiled-based-on-latest-firmware-Reader-app version anytime soon???
Here's why: I've been having a few issues with the modified Reader app since the latest firmware update, problems that didn't appear at all before the update. I read on T1 a few hours a day, sometimes even more than that, just FYI in terms of my usage level.
- Screen looks very washed-out -- font display isn't clear, but rather looks like rubbed on with an eraser half way or something -- especially after reading for a while (going out to the home screen and coming back to reading doesn't help). At first I thought it was a hardware issue, but outside the modified Reader app, the font display is fine.
- After reading for a long while (over dozens of hours at least, involving visits to the home screen, using web browser, and lots of other activities in between), all of a sudden, in the modified Reader app, I suddenly get the round rotating arrows in the middle of the screen, and can't get out the loop no matter what. The only way out that I found is to press on the reset hole for over 15 secs or so, and then press the power button to reset & reboot. I lose the reading position in the book (the current-reading book opens in the position where I last went out to the home screen), but at least I can get out of the rotating-arrow loop that way. So far I encountered this problem three times, and had never encountered it before the firmware update.
My T1 isn't rooted, but only has the modified Reader app with custom fonts (my default is PTSerif). The refresh setting is 6, and I turn the pages mostly with buttons but sometimes mixed with screen swipe. Hope this helps, and I wish to see a new version of the modified Reader app soon. It doesn't have to be a feature update, as long as it's based on whatever the latest firmware has. Please!
