For the new version, why is it taking so long for both the full light novel list and the Watch list to load? I'd understand if it were updating, but it's not and it seems like everything is loading longer than the last version.

Still, thanks for the update and keep up the good work

[Nandaka]

Always slow or only for the first time? Usually it is because the update service is running in the background. If you can give me the adb log when loading, I can check it.

Can you guys stick this on amazon as well? All I have is a kindle fire.

No plan as the submission is required to have a developer program, which is no free (I think).

The best bet is by downloading the apk and side loading it, see http://www.ubergizmo.com/2011/11/kindle-fire-sideload/

I don't know about the compatibility tough, as there is no kindle fire vm provided by google.

Alright, firstly, i can't express in words how much i love and appreciate the effort everyone has put into translating and making these works available to us grateful fans.

I have found a bug on the baka reader app on Andriods (my Samsung galaxy s2) where if you zoom in on the font of a page then lock the phone or press the home button, the progress you have made on a volume or chapter gets randomized and it takes a while to find where you left off. This doesn't occur if you do not zoom to make the font bigger by pressing the magnifying glass on the bottom right of a page.

Also, including a search function would make our lives so much easier.

I have posted an open issue on GitHub at https://github.com/calvinaquino/LNReade ... state=open.

Since that section is for purely reporting issues or bugs, i would like to take my time to thank everyone for their hard work into keeping the novels translated and updated. I cannot express how much i appreciate the efforts the team behind each translation.
I would also like to suggest that with a search function, it would make it indefinitely easier to find specific sections or the place you left off in a chapter or volume.

Thanks!

PS: If there is another thread that i posted regarding similar topics, i cannot find it, not on the forum or View your posts section. Something went wrong with submitting a post after saving it as a draft. Don't know if its just me.

[edit by EEE] That's because posts by users with less than 10 posts have to be approved. Admittedly, it can be quite confusing.

Change Log:

• Fix FC because null pointer in Settings Page
• More AsyncTask executed with ThreadPool
• Fix wrong chapter loaded when DisplayNovelContent activity is stopped

APK: http://www.mediafire.com/?qcmdojiaffev7ci

Search function for Chapter/Volume name? Combined into 1 search? How do you want it to behave? Need more details here

EDIT: yap, my post count is confirmed increasing, not stalled :p
EDIT2: Update the APK again because wrong themes for setting page when in invert mode.

[Amaranthias]

Hmm maybe searching through various chapters and volumes for a keyword will be too troublesome, i was only thinking of having a search function when you press the menu tab inside a chapter to find a keyword on the page.

[Amaranthias]

Wait, i am referring to the Baka Reader app, not the Light Novel Reader app by the way...

Go to settings > applications > on SD card tab

That list will show apps avaliable to be put on the external SD. just touch the checkmark =)
It won't show all apps, because soem apps can´t go to external SD.

Also, apps you put there wont be avaliable while the phone is connected to the PC via USB.
SD card becomes unavaliable due to obvious reasons (being used by PC)
