Help me test? Rooted boox device needed.

[DanyDanman]

Hello,

I have a boox go 10.3 but getting root access is more problematic than anticipated before go further in getting help I would love to have someone check something for me.

In my research i found a mention of someone who was successful in adding writing support to certain apps. Soon after that when I kept digging I found something that explains it well. Hence I want to root my device.

Titel: Onyx Boox handwriting optimisation in any app
https://gist.github.com/calliecamero...8bd493380e3b7e

The app I am mostly interested in testing is the Kanji Study app.

Here are the needed bits of info:

The package name for Kanji Study is:
com.mindtwisted.kanjistudy

And the "view key" (the name of the class in the code) is:
com.mindtwisted.kanjistudy.svg.KanjiStrokeView

I have received this form the developer himself. So I atleast can say that the parameters are right. I can share this/want to share this once I know it works but now I need your help.

So if someone can test this on any patched boot device that would great.
Even better would be a short video of it working would be greatly appreciated.

And if you wish I can send cup of coffee your way. This for the troubles.

I don't have any pen Onyx.

That eac_config is a bit of a rat's nest.
I don't like text configurations of 1/2 a MB.
(Ok, my Poke5 seems to have a lot smaller one than my Poke3.)
There are lots of undocumented parameters for every app.

There was a DPI default of 350 (on a 300 DPI device) that has worked its way into many settings.

Also, "contrast" a/k/a "Dark Color Enhancement" is set to a default of 30 which makes fonts look thick and blotchy. Set it to 0.

(There is also the stock /system/etc/fonts.xml which substitutes goofy Onyx fonts for some weights of Roboto.)

Hmm strange I can not open. eac_config. Root patch has been installed and I use file commander. I can see the file. What gives?

Btw editing that file is tough it's really bad chatgpt has issues whit.

Do you know how to make it readable without chatgpt?

No idea.
I just did "adb pull /onyxconfig/eac_config".
But I have a rooted adb, not a rootable one.
Just do:

adb shell
cp /onyxconfig/eac_config /sdcard
^D
adb pull /sdcard/eac_config

[DanyDanman]

Hmm, this is the error I get:

C:\Users\User>adb shell
Go103:/ $ cp /onyxconfig/eac_config /sdcard
cp: /sdcard/eac_config: Permission denied

Should I try to write with edl ? I hope that the system takes my modified eac_config.

Is that safe to do as it can be ofc?

Ha, tnx for the quick response. I went to google and found the same answer.
Permission denied

And:

C:\Users\User>adb root
adbd cannot run as root in production builds

Can't even open the file on the device it self. I can copy it but place it back in with android as I lack permissions. Even though my file browser has root permissions and can see the files.

[DanyDanman]

Got it fixed. Now editing the file. Never used root, so I had to do research.

[DanyDanman]

It works perfect, only some app specific things that need fixing minor. Tnx for all the help Renate. Give me 2 weeks and will tell you how I feel about it.
