Lithium EPUB Reader (Android) App Patches

[geek1011]

I thought I'd share my patches for the Lithium EPUB Reader in case anyone finds them useful. I made them for myself back in 2019, and open-sourced them earlier this year.

• Custom icon color.
• Custom cover aspect ratio.
• Optional cover-only grid view.
• Debuggable reader webview.
• Offline dictionary. (the original app doesn't even have one)
• Custom fonts. (I really like Equity btw)
• Smaller minimum font size.
• Additional information in the reader footer.
• Series metadata support.
• Series section in library drawer.
• Increased number of visible actions for the reader toolbar.
• Support for inverted portrait/landscape rotation.

Note that this does not unlock the Pro features; you still need to get that the normal way through Google Play.

I've repeatedly tried to get in touch with the app's creator to try and get some or all of these improvements included in the base app without success, unfortunately.
