They used to be enthusiastic and very responsive but last responded to me June 2nd. I pinged them on June 12th and just pinged them again today. In addition to everything else I need to do right now ;) I hope to have a copyright stripped version ready before next Wednesday if I don't hear back..

EDIT: To be extra paranoid the items I need to replace are
  • Name
  • Backgrounds: conference, scripture, magazine, and maybe a header for the Mormon Channel screen.
  • Category icons: radio, conference, magazine, scriptures
Any suggestions for these?

EDIT: Screenshots (not the most recent version)

Flandry:
Could you come up with a similar app for Christian hymns whereby we can select which PDF to import. A search by Hymn title and the Musician or Author would be fab.

Is this possible?

As i described previously, if you or someone else will prepare the PDF (one file per hymn), i'll modify the little reader app to display it. It's all this app does right now--let the user input a hymn number, and open a corresponding PDF file. You might also find some recognizable hymns in this one. :) I didn't really have the patience to process this PDF and don't anticipate finding even more of it to chop up one i'll probably never use.

I tested searching using some different pdf utility libraries, but none of them could pick out the text to do a meaningful search. If i finish up the basic display functionality (full screen, portrait, etc.) i'll probably implement type-to-search using hymn names from a separate file.

I have been using an HTML version in Opera Mini for reading. I have no use for marking electronic scriptures; if I want to mark something I'd rather have it in my real ones anyway.

I don't mind the Opera Mini way of reading the scriptures, except that it sometimes messes up the links when I go to, say 1 Chronicles chapter 17 I might end up half way through chapter 13. It just started doing this.

I would rather use MicroB, but I have to change the text size. Then when I'm done I have to change it back or all my browsing is messed up. I can't figure out how to change font size in Firefox.

Hey there brother Ed.

You probably already know who is going to ask for a Diablo version of this, yes? :)

You really should be more quiet around here because you're always going to get pounded with requests if you don't. *lol*

Already tested and working. I really have just been sitting on this for a month and a half.

I'm not sure how Opera Mini works but i can send you my downloaded version if you want to see if it's better for you.

I spent some time tweaking the CSS file to get the font sizes right for my tastes. All the files use the same CSS file, so i can just change a single line to change the size if i decide it's too small.

If you could send me two or three Pdfs so I understand quite how to split them then I'll see what I can do.

I finally heard back. It was just a short message about checking with legal "real quick". Decisions, decisions on whether to be patient
