Ingo StützleThose of you who use a #Boox: Do you run Android or an alternative operating system, and if so, which one?
jakob.pxi@ingo you can choose???
Ian Garcez@ingo @gullok fwiw I occasionally read up on jailbreaks and hacks for old e-readers (to use them as web clients mostly) and I own a boox that runs on their in-house android. But from all I gather, the niche is just too small to hope for a user friendly FOSS alternative that drives e-ink tablets. (I was burned by PineTab, too). You could root the proprietary android-OS and run linux, but then you are on your own. The most usable way to tinker is probably to debloat it: https://appsec.space/posts/onyx-boox-go-10.3/
Debloating the Onyx Boox Go 10.3
I was looking for an eink tablet to r ead books and take notes while I’m away from home. After adventuring in the eInk rabbit hole I decided to go for the Onyx Boox Go 10.3: a Black and White eInk Android Tablet with 300ppi that’s also good for taking notes, weighting only 365g! I was a bit concerned about this report from Mozilla so I decided to take a look at the device.
يعقوب@jakob @ingo @gullok kenne mich hier null aus und weiß nur von einem Freund von Inkbox OS und Quill OS - beides scheint aber für boox nicht in frage zu kommen (weil die ihre Kernels nicht für OS Entwicklung freigeben?). Sorry, again, keine Ahnung davon, aber vielleicht trotzdem wert, mal in die beiden OS reinzuschauen wenn man in Zukunft auf Alternativen setzen will?
