Olivetree Biblereader on jailbroken Nookcolor

Prince Hal · 12-04-2010, 08:35 AM

Can anyone who has a jailbroken Nookcolor be so kind as to see how Olivetree's Biblereader for Android looks - if it will load at all? And post some pictures. I would be really grateful. The NC looks like a great piece of hardware. To get Biblereader would cause me to rush out and take the dangerous step of rooting.

Of course my alternative to Olivetree would be the Kindle app and then a good Bible. Unfortunately B&n do not have the two versions I want - the NAB or Scott Hahn Ignatius Study Bible. But both the B&N reader app and Kindle would be second best to Olivetree.

Many thanks if anyone can help out.

Hal.

I never used this app before.

I was able to install the app, but could not get it to load my online library or browse the store. It attempts to open the web browser for these tasks, then nothing.

It's possible that if you install the app to a storage card and then manually place the books in the correct Olivetree folder (according to the instructions) it will work. I think you'll just have to work offline.

SCION thank you so very much! That was really helpful of you to do this. I have just received approval to purchase the NC from the finance director - the wife. Mmm....now do I do it? Everything hinges on this one program. I am wanting a 7 inch color Bible reader with more than just one Bible text, and the ability to look up notes and Greek text etc. So Olivetree fits the bill perfectly. I already have the resources for my iTouch. So it loads. This is great news. Will it then load the individual resources? This is the risk. Aaaargh! Almost there.

Thanks for your help on this - I am very grateful.

Let me clarify now that I've thought about it some more. It's not attempting to open the web browser. I guess within the program itself it is attempting to retrieve this information. This make more sense because it's a self-contained program that doesn't use a web browser. So it's attempting to perform the online retrieval tasks and can't for some reason.

When using the OliveTree program on a Palm or an iTouch, it is completely self contained and can be used off line. Were you able to get any of the books to load? Jus got authorization from the finance director - the wife - to purchase an Nc, but my major purpose would be to use OliveTree or at a pinch the Kindle app for books that B&N to not ave (presently).

Alternstively I could wait to see if OliveTree will develope their app using the SDK to work without a jailbreak. It would appear that they are almost there at the moment. The NC hardware looks really impressive, hence the desire to get it to work. There are other Android bible readers, but not with the Bible that I use, and of course I have already paid a couple of hundred dollars for the OliveTree bibles.

Thanks again for your help.

Hal.

It works as intended!

I had manually installed the app using a file that I found online. So, I uninstalled it. Went to the mobile site for Olivetree (www.olivetree.com/m). It detected the type of Android OS I have and directed me to dowload the app. The app has to be downloaded to a storage card and installed. Everything is good now. It can perform online tasks.

Sorry for the false alarm. The manual installation through things off, as I didn't install to the storage card.

That is it. I will buy a NC and root it. I will take the plunge and the risk.

Thanks for the help. If you have any time can you post some screeshots - it might ease the wife's nerves about jailbreaking.

Thanks again,

Hal

Thank you so much for posting. The thought of jail breaking a brand new $250 unit is somewhat scary. However, the images that you have posted make it worth the effort and risk. So thanks for giving me some backbone. And above all thank you and the other contributors for you time and effort. It is always appreciated.

Hal.

You're welcome. I learned something from the process.
