Help me rooting the Go Color 7 - Page 5

Replacing the launcher should be trivial. You don't need root or EDL. ADB can be helpful though.

Code:

C:\>adb install mylauncher.apk

I hadn't heard anyone say that ADB can't be enabled.

I thought it should be trivial as well. The problem is that when I install the new launcher and switch to it, Boox automatically switches to the old one. When I restart I got the old one whatever settings I try to set on Android got reverted (changing home app, switching to the new launcher through it after running it, etc). if try to do something like this:

Code:

adb shell pm set-home-activity org.ds.simple.ink.launcher/.SimpleInkLauncher

it fails w/ java exception

That is completely lacking in detail.

Do:

Code:

adb shell am start -n org.ds.simple.ink.launcher/.SimpleInkLauncher

I couldn't find the package name in apps - not sure why. I gave up on that idea as well. Not sure about rooting it also. Since no conclusive guides are shared here, I'd probably pass on it, too.

If you don't give any details...
If you don't do any tests suggested...
If you give up at the first hiccup...
You probably won't get anything done.
