Since the screen was broken on the Leaf 1 and the Leaf 2 was coming out I ordered the Leaf 2 White.
I will probably root it to install AFWall+ when I receive it. Root would also make it possible to remove all the Onyx Apps completely. (not just for user0 through adb) that might brick the device or make it bootloop. Since there is no recovery it's not possible to make a Nandroid backup and I wouldn't know how to factory reset it. Is there a way to make a backup or flash a factory image just in case? I would install a different launcher like [E-Ink launcher, 4.2+] Simple Ink Launcher before fully removing the default launcher of course. I'm guessing that removing every Onyx app (including the launcher) might break the side-buttons, has anyone tried that? Last edited by denisuu; 11-23-2022 at 03:21 PM. |

should not cause any major problems.
Just don't disable or delete SystemUI.apk If you want a recovery I can probably mix up a recovery for the Leaf2 if you want to be a Beta. Get/post a rec.img If it's not in an update use EDL and copy it from your device. |

Sure, I want to be a Beta tester. I'll send you the files once I receive the device. You're intending on porting TWRP or Clockworkmod? Do you use a custom recovery on your device?
It's possible to make a backup image before removing systemapps with root? I guess I could backup the system partition and flash it back with fastboot incase things go south? |

There are many tutorials on porting TWRP. I find this interesting so it might be fun thing to have a go at later. I can already see myself messing around with it more than using it for its intended purpose (reading). |

Instruction on how I rooted the Leaf 2 can be found here: Boox Leaf 2 general discussion
Does anyone know how I can extract the stock recovery from the device? (It's rooted) I don't find any good instructions on that. |

I also disabled com.onyx on my Onyx Boox Kon-Tiki 2. Lockscreen and gestures work, however if I need to change them I need to enable com.onyx again.
By the way, pm disable is virtually the same as pm uninstall for user 0. Don’t actually uninstall apks from system, there is verity check upon each reboot. So you might brick device. @denisuu To your question about recovery extraction, use edl from GitHub Last edited by mergen3107; 06-26-2023 at 09:00 PM. |

@renate
I already tried that, it doesn't work. Code:
PS C:\> adb shell Leaf2:/ $ su Leaf2:/ # dd if=/dev/block/by-name/recovery of=/storage/E088-7398/Backup/recovery.img dd: /dev/block/by-name/recovery: No such file or directory Code:
find / recovery Code:
dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/mmcblk0 of=/storage/E088-7398/Backup/mmcblk0.bin Last edited by denisuu; 12-02-2022 at 09:34 AM. |

Well, mine's called that.
Code:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 1971-06-12 08:48 recovery -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p9 Did you list out /dev/block/by-name ? Also, with EDL you can back up directly without using dd or an SD card/flash drive. |
