I have extracted Neo Reader from my Max (attached). You can try to install it but I guess the android will complain that you have already a newer version installed. I have tried to modify the apk id from "com.onyx.kreader" to "com.onyx.kreader.2.0.1" in AndroidManifest.xml using Apktool and signing by following this recipe but the modfied apk was rejected by Android with "Parse error" I guess there's something wrong with the Apktool. There was some error during the assembling, something related to app compat v7 library, which I resolved somehow with ideas from Stackoverflow and successfully assembled and signed the apk. I guess the solution was not good. Too bad as I would be very interested to know if it can run on the latest firmware. At this moment I can't spend more time on this.
Anyway, could you give me the latest Neo Reader from the 2.1.1 firmware?
How-to:
- assume you have adb installed
- enable debugging on Max
- run adb pull /system/app/kreader-release
- if it won't succeed, try adb shell, then ls /system/app, I bet it's still there but maybe with a slightly different name like kreader2 etc.
Don't bother if it seems to complex for you, I can wait for the opportunity to download the firmware package and extract it then.

Thankyou so much for uploading the NeoReader 2 for me. I really appreciate your help. It is lovely going back to NeoReader 2. I managed to follow your instructions on extracting Kreader2. The only change I made was
run adb pull /system/app/kreader2-release
For some reason the admin have blocked the file upload (zip file). So I uploaded it on my cloud storage, here is the link (I hope this is ok):

I have random shut downs (or devices goes to sleep) since I upgraded the Onyx device to the latest firmware (2.1.1). so I am going to reset my device and see if it helps. If I can fix this issue, then I am happy to use the latest firmware for the Navigation ball which is a nice feature to help flip between apps.
I really prefer Neoreader 2.0 over 3.0 as it has a simpler UI and most importantly it suits my editing and research style. Once again thanks for sending my NeoReader 2.
