Help me test? Rooted boox device needed.
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: Code:
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 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.) Last edited by Renate; 07-02-2024 at 07:01 AM. |

Hmm, this is the error I get:
Code:
C:\Users\User>adb shell Go103:/ $ cp /onyxconfig/eac_config /sdcard cp: /sdcard/eac_config: Permission denied 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: Code:
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. |

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.

Did you get it working with Kanji Study? I spoke with the developer several years ago about onyx devices and support for eink but he wasn't interested at the time. Glad to see you got it working by editing the config.
I haven't tried it but I definitely will when I get home from traveling. I made my own note app years back and had my own custom import/export process. I originally did it to have layer support. Once they added that update I stopped using mine. If I remember, there was another person who did something similar with the onenote app before that got official support as well. |
