Remember the android project is just a shell. Every single 3rd party dep needs to be built as well. Double check you got the prerrequisites right and start a clean build:

Code:

ANDROID_ARCH=arm64 ./kodev clean android
ANDROID_ARCH=arm64 ./kodev release android

Watch the output as it provides useful info in case something fails to build.

While debug builds are ok for debug are TOTALLY NOT OK to run them in a production environment. They're a lot of slower, a lot thicker and each transitition between the file manager and the reader will be, at least, 2x slower. Version updates will take about 4-5x time too.

Much better to build a release APK and sign it. The easiest option is to use https://github.com/patrickfav/uber-apk-signer

Something like

Code:

uber-apk-signer -a path/to/app.apk

should produce a path/to/app-aligned-debugsigned.apk that's installable.

I wound up getting an Onyx Tab Ultra C Pro after my Tab Ultra had an "accident", since the Tab Ultra isn't made any longer. Sadly, it looks like this one still has the "it takes several seconds to load a folder that has more than a hundred or so things in it" issue that I had with the Tab Ultra and the Nova Air 2 for a while.

I had hoped we were past this with a newer device, but I may just have to hope it gets fixed, since I think the only thing that helped with the other devices was "eventually a firmware update comes that makes the issue go away."

UPDATE: eventually a firmware update came, but it did not make the problem go away

Did anybody ever even figure out exactly what was causing this? It would be nice if I could at least send some kind of bug report to Onyx since they do seem to vaguely pay attending to posts in the Boox reddit.

The Onyx Boox Go 10.3 was added to the list of new Android devices last month: https://github.com/koreader/koreader/issues/8482. But as of yesterday's nightly build the e-ink refresh still hasn't been implemented, even though the Onyx e-ink driver works with the device.

How long does it usually take before support for devices are added? Is there an easy way to make Koreader use the Onyx driver for e-ink to refresh the screen before it's added by the devs?

A few days to a few weeks probably. Tomorrow's nightly should support it.

Has been planned to implement zooming by gestures any time soon?
