What reasons do you have to believe that if such method existed it would not be used in a stock firmware produced by people who have time and documentation? Can you share your thoughts on this?
Amateurs sometimes reinvent the wheel - and like it
A month ago I got my PRS-T1, a week ago I did my first compile on Android, quite a learning curve.. Thanks for the info on bacsmali, the Freescale slides give excellent e-ink programming background info.
I try to find out what apps can make sense on an e-ink device, what modifications are needed to make it e-ink friendly. Some mods I learned:
- General: Open apk with 7zip or others, change icons and bitmaps to high BW contrast, re-sign apk.
- AardDict offline Wikipedia: changed from scrolling to paging and added DairyKnight's N2EpdController.
- Anagram, AnkiDroid (flashcard learning): no scrolling, but higher frequency of page content change, even N2EpdController flashes too much and the reaction time is too slow. Switching to fast/ghosting grey mode is OK for the flash cards, but I need to learn more how to switch back and forth between the modes without triggering too much flashing.
I want to see more e-ink friendly apps. But most developers do not know about e-ink, they need our support and ready-made replacements for their say, WebView calls. Thats why I consider hbertsens approach an important contribution.
A big
to you and this forum for sharing your knowledge.
