I need to work on an eink display editor/terminal theme that uses font weight, italics, underlining, highlighting, etc. rather than colors for syntax highlighting. #eink
Spricht noch irgendwas gegen E-Ink im #öpnv außer vielleicht der Preis? Im Sommer kommen 42-Zoll-Schirme mit RGB-Layer (Kaleido 3). Auflösung reduziert sich zwar durch die indirekte Farbproduktion (es gibt keine Farbkörner im Panel). Aber es wirkt ausreichend auf mich und sie schalten binnen 0,5 s. Die Spectra-Demo vom letzten Jahr sieht natürlich cooler aus.
@ljrk Danke, dann ist das bestimmt noch der Rest des damaligen Versuchs. S Beuselstraße war an einer Bushaltestelle (oder war's Westhafen?) war auch mal ein Anzeiger, aber weniger hochauflösend als dieser..
Pre-ordered Bigme B251, the standalone monitor! As someone who spends a lot of hours in front of a screen, moving to eink on my smartphone and now my desk - connected to my laptop - I’m really excited to use it!
The joy of some good automation! Automatically sending PDFs of all unread tagged items from @goodlinks to the #ReMarkable#eink tablet using #Shortcuts.
30h20 minutes thus far, 23h14 minutes to go 😎 power of eink, LineageOS energy efficiency. And if I would go Googleless, it would be more. Connected to 4G, WiFi at home, syncing active etc.
@chikorita157 7" is a little too small for manga. I read on a Kobo Aura One (7.8") which is fine for most manga but I have to zoom in for translation notes and anything with dense text. American-formatted comics are right out.
fwiw I'm happy with Kobo itself. I buy from the Kobo store so I use stock OS, but lots of people replace it for something faster at CBZ and other formats. One complaint I often hear from new owners is that Kobo dropped MicroSD for newer devices, so you can't expand storage for yourself.
@tojikomori I have a Boox Nova Air C and I guess it was allright, although I have to zoom in. However, I need to replace the screen protector since it got damaged and I got a replacement one. Haven’t got the chance to replace it.
The one thing I don’t like or trust about the Boox is that it sends data to a Chinese server. But I only read Bookwalker ripped manga to PDFs on there, so…
Here's a demo of LineageOS 20 - Android 13 running on Hisense A9, using the latest Eink Center app which can now be updated without reflashing the system image!
Juhu. Heute haben wir unsere access points für die #Eink Displays fertig gebastelt und in Betrieb genommen. Die Displays haben wir auf dem #37C3 von der @cbase bekommen. Vielen Dank noch einmal dafür! Einige werden wir hier als Raumschilder und einige als Info Displays nutzen.
Improving now the Eink Center app to guide the user to setup the overlay permission and accessibility service that allows us to react to button presses regardless of what app you are currently using
@denzilferreira Legal. Estou usando como celular principal. A princípio, gostei da fluidez do sistema. Por enquanto, tudo funcionando: Play store, chamadas, sms, 4G, atualização da tela. Testarei mais Alguns dias.
To install:
1- Unlock your bootloader! THIS IS A MUST.
2- follow these commands:
adb reboot bootloader
-- wait until you see a white screen with FastBoot
fastboot reboot fastboot
-- wait until you see a dark screen with a menu
fastboot flash system /path/to/rom.img
-- wait until it finishes flashing
fastboot -w
fastboot reboot
I'll keep working on the app, but for now, refresh and speed setting is working when pressing the refresh eink button!
You will need to stop the current app, and install this one as an update. Android 13 now restricts side-loaded accessibility services, so you will need to stop it and do "Allow restricted settings" on the app info screen!
I didn't want to have to rebuild the whole OS to update the Eink app, so I've now signed and prebuilt the .apk that is bundled with the OS. Then I can update and install a new version of it. It's the same approach that Google uses to update the core apps without having to recreate a new version of the OS. If this works, I can release the OS and update the .apk going forward :android:
Something I'd be interested in that I can't seem to find:
A low-powered Linux laptop with an e-ink display, that I could use for long-form writing or coding.
What I've found so far are mostly either
Tablets intended for note-taking (like the ReMarkable or BOOX's various lines)
Higher-end where the e-ink display is an extra (like Lenovo's swivel designs where you rotate the display to use either an OLED or e-ink).
Some of the tablets do have keyboard cases, which would be better than just hooking up a random Bluetooth keyboard, but it doesn't look like I can just install programs on them, except for the Android ones, which aren't going to be ideal for things like coding or running build scripts or anything like that.
The closest I found was the Modos Paper Laptop, but seems to still be in the prototype phase.
Does this form factor exist yet? Am I just having trouble finding them because of the current state of search?
After reading the review of the Onyx BOOX Poke3 by @KelsonV I had a look at the BOOX range and ordered the BOOX Page. Here it is, on the right, next to my Kobo Clara HD.
So far, it has been good. I've installed the Android versions of Libby, Pocket and, yes, Firefox and they work fine. I've adjusted the E Ink refresh rates and button settings for the apps to work correctly.
Two really great #eink devices: the #remarkable 2 and the #supernote A6X2 Nomad.
Personally I prefer the #remarkable more, because of its hackability, feel of writing and simple ui
The #supernote has great os with offline handwriting recognition, offline updates and WiFi sharing (if you want to use it).
So just two very wonderful devices. #eink rocks!
