@downeaster59 -- thanks for testing various apps, your report that Play Books works without issues was invaluable to me.
I'll be ordering from banggood -- do they ship their T63 with language set to English and Play Store already installed?
FOV's thread on firmwares lists T63_161104_full as the most recent one -- is it the version on the T63 you've received? If not, which one does it come with? Has anyone tried updating firmware to T63_161104_full? Are there any alternative firmwares for T63 yet?
I'm a bit concerned by this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vRRdK17sRiY of the T65 which was supposed to be released on Nov 11. So people who already have their T63 in hand -- does the product in the video looks like T63? |
The T65 has 212 dpi, from what I see. The T63 has 300 dpi. The T65 looks like the T63, but the T63 has the better resolution.
Yes, Banggood shipped my T63 to me with English pre-set. The firmware on my device is: Boyue-Ereader_V1.0.0-2016102517. Beware of other firmware versions as some have only Chinese as a language option! I haven't yet seen other firmwares for this T63. Maybe I've missed something.
Banggood will include a case, but they choose the color. I got black. Someone else here got pink. Be warned. You may not get your favorite color.
Play Store is not installed. However, if you go to
this forum and use the T6x Toolkit, it will root your T63 and install Play Store. Be sure to thank nightboy for his great tool.
