"My Library" widget for other apps? - Nexus 7 Themes and Apps

Hello,
Please forgive me as I am completely new to the world of Andorid and the Widget kingdom, I have just bought the Nexus and have now discovered that I am unable to add books that I have previously bought to Google Books. As this is the case I have downloaded Kobo and managed to transfer the books on to there. My only question would be is there a way to mimic the current "My Library" widget showing the books and magazines on the homescreen whilst using another app?
Thanks

Does Kobo have it's own widget? Do you know how to check?

If you used the same Gmail account, all your books you've bought in the Book store should show up.
As for the widget, no, the My Library widget is Play Store specific.
See if Kobo has its own widget.

[Q] Google Play - Magazine Subscription

I was looking into purchasing magazines (import auto performance) through Google Play, but I'm not sure if I will also have access to magazines I paid for after my subscriptioin. Eg. If I do a 12mnth subscription for Jan-Ded 2013, if I don't renew in 2014, would I have access to my 2013 issues. Reading through the terms, it seems to indicate I won't, but it's not clear. Anybody know?
yes the magazines get archived until you delete them :good:

[Q] Uninstalling unwanted applications that come default with tab?

Hy all, I just want to know is there anyway I can uninstall applications in my tab that come default while buying it. Because there are many trash application's which I don't use such as Internet, my files, drop box, play video, etc.. These came by default in my tab when I bought it and I don't need them so that I can free up some memory for other apps and I don't know why there more than one pre installed app in samsung tab such as chrome and internet, music player and play music and also chat on app. If there is any way to uninstall these apps it would be greatly helpful, thank you!!!

The only way to remove them would be to root your tablet. Otherwise you can not remove them.
Once rooted you could use Titanium Backup to remove certain programs or using a root explorer delete apks manually.

[Q] Aldiko on Tab Pro 8.4

hello, I recently upgraded from a 7.0 plus to a Tab pro 8.4. So far i really like the new tablet but I am having trouble getting aldiko (paid) to work properly. The first issue i have is that when opening a book it refuses to show pictures, the book cover, or any other graphics. I have reset the app, cleared the data, uninstalled and reinstalled the app and the problem persists. After the reinstall I also have the widget dissapearing and it refuses to come back as well. I have tried to get a hold of Aldiko support but i have yet to hear anyhting from them. Anyone have any ideas as to how this might be able to be fixed?
Thanks

I run Aldiko paid without a problem, but I only use Acrobat files (mostly created myself) and they are all stored in memory and not on the sdcard. Could either of these be the source of your problems?

I run mostly epubs and PDF files. All files are stored on internal memory. I am not rooted at this time, but thinking that might be an option.
For the widget issue somehow the app was moved to the SD card after moving that back the widget worked fine.
*Edit* I just recieved an email from Aldiko Support. It seems that some models of Samsung Devices (8.4 Pro included) have a compatibility issue with the RMSDK rendering engine.
Aldiko doesn't work for me either (Tab Pro 8.4),
I switched to "Moon+ Reader Pro", for ePub and PDF.

That's what i did also.
Cheers.
having the same issue. Typically the start of chapter page is blank, as it'll have a little graphic or whatever. everything works fine on my note2, asus transformer, etc etc
just the tab pro is being stupid
changing to a different app isn't that practical, as I pretty much rely on aldiko's ability to sync reading progress and library between devices
I had the same problem. Try moon reader. Fixed most of the issues. I use epub

Hi all.
Sorry if this is a really stupid question. I've just purchased a huawei watch and upgraded it to android wear 2 but I can't work out how to sync watch faces that I have purchased from the play store. I've purchased them on my phone and gone into the android wear settings and forced a recync of apps but still no new watch faces.
What am I doing wrong ?

You can try downloading them using the play store on your watch.

From what I have seen, you HAVE to install them through the Play Store on your watch. It beats me why Google removed the app sync, at least for those apps that need to be installed on both.
