Bug 1:

Hand writing in Neo Reader 2.0 is broken.
- When you write, the pages turns, perhaps the pen touches between strokes activate page turns when you write on left or right side of the doc.
- When you write the stroke lines are surrounded with white margin which looks like you erased half of the preceding letter in the word but when you exit writing mode the words appear fully written
- Bug does not exist in the other preinstalled app Onyx Neo Reader

Bug 2:

Device waking from sleep with hand writing and touch input activated at the same time.
- I left Neo Reader 2.0 open, when I woke the device the pen was writing and serving the touch commands, I had to reboot

Bug 3:

Menu key does not work in any app, except Neo Reader 2.0.
- In ReLaunchX, which I maintain now, I added the option to invoke the menu programatically but it also does not work on this firmware so it's something with the Android framework, not the button itself.
- Suggestion: despite the bug which makes the button non-operational, I would be much happier if I got the "home" button instead of the "menu" button. Home button will greatly improve switching between apps whilst Menu button is less and less used, a trend made by newer Android version which obsoleted the Menu button.

Summary:

Despite the bugs I like the firmware. It is much more compatible with Google Play apps and works faster than the stock firmware I got preinstalled. Thanks for providing this update, I wish I could help you - Onyx - more if the firmware was available on GitHub.
