Go6 unboxing

[Renate]

I just found out that some late model Poke5 do have the Carta 1300. Without opening the case you won't be able to tell.

I've had this rooted and most of the things fixed and working before. I've just customized sepolicy, patched /vendor, patched /system, patched the boot image. Now I'm running with SELinux enforcing.

C:\>adb shell
BOOX:/ # id
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root) context=u:r:su:s0
BOOX:/ # getenforce
Enforcing
BOOX:/ # su
/system/bin/sh: su: inaccessible or not found

Yeah, the whole procedure is a bit complicated and mainly for experimenters. (OTOH, you could learn a lot.) The nice part is with the "Windows Subsystem for Linux" I can manipulate the ext4 partitions right on my Windows desktop. I can also do a sepolicy compilation with secilc directly in Debian Linux and it's compatible with Android.

I've also disabled the ADB authorization popup so no additional computers can be authorized. I've put my computers' public keys into the image so that I can connect with ADB but no one else can. It's really not that cloak-and-dagger, but why not do it?

Both the Poke5 and Go6 use a magnetic sensor to sense when the cover is open and closed. You can use a magnet and figure about where the sensor is, but where is it? The SD card socket is mounted on its own little circuit board. It had to be there and it is.

Are you concerned that the last dozen times you changed the SD card you stuck the little poker in the microphone hole instead of the SD card caddy hole? Well, fear not. You did no harm. The microphone itself is perpendicular to the hole. The poker slid right past the microphone.
