Boox Onyx New Update : 3.5.3 (suport of the Dark Mode)
New update 3.5.3 support Dark Mode & New GUI(Graphics Interface) for Boox Onyx devices is out ! Good day ladies and gentlemen, check all your devices as there is a new update available that will bring a feature I've been waiting for a long time and that is "DARK MOD & NEW GUI"! I personally like the new GUI improvements (graphical interface) much more than the previous ones. ( Tested with BOOX Onyx Leaf 2 ) These are the highlights of the new firmware update • New UI: Minimalist Elegance, Maximum Efficiency • Annotate & Share: FreeMark and BOOXDrop Screen Mirroring • Read & Take Notes: Dark Mode, Smarter Image Edit and OCR - New system UI look - Added globalnAI assistant - Updated Android security Patch NeoReader - The flow document suport Dark Mode - Optimized document sync proces And more .. In addition to the aforementioned upgrades, an AI assistant is now available in the Naviball and Control Center, If you haven't received it yet, please wait a bit longer or check for updates in Settings LEAR MORE HERE : https://shop.boox.com/blogs/news/boox-firmware-v3-5-3 INFO: I also n oticed that if you look deeper into the settings, it is possible to directly sign up to receive the Beta version, which can be interesting for users who like to test for the first time, or are impatiently waiting for some small pre-fixes.

Thanks for the heads up.
It does concern me the "no downgrading" bit though. Also, this is an incremental update, so your device should be mostly stock. Magisk should probably be ok. If you have experience with EDL and have plenty of space on your desktop you can make a full, raw backup. That way you can effortlessly return to how it was. My reader software always had a dark mode, but obviously a system-wide dark mode is more consistent. (I hate dark mode.) |

My Boox Tab Mini C is at 3.5.1, and says there are no updates available. Just bought this device, & like it a lot, but wondering if it’s not being orphaned…

Just installed 3.5.3 and would love to enable dark mode. Can't find it, though. Usermanual also doesn't help. Who could enlighten me and darken my screen?
EDIT: Found it. https://imgur.com/gallery/dark-mode-boox-QQiO9JX Isn't working for PDF's, though, so it's still no good for studying in bed. Last edited by Markismus; Today at 05:24 PM. |

After the update, I noticed that my device is noticeably faster globally (BOOX Onyx Leaf 2), both in the GUI and when reading in the settings, where changing the font size, weight, dictionaries react almost immediately. Anyway, I will see after some time if this reactivity will be the same. I was very pleased with the update, I like the new look even more than before.
----------------------------------------------------------------- If you have experience with EDL and have plenty of space on your desktop you can make a full, raw backup. That way you can effortlessly return to how it was. That is a good reminder, but my experience is not so good and I am worried that I would damage the device.

Thanks for all your work in this forum. |

Just DO NOT under any circumstances "wipe" your data. That will destroys the keys used to decrypt your data and it's gone for good even though you have a backup. |
