Hi!
Just got the new Onyx Note Pro and i'm pretty excited! The user interface is a bit disappointing, to be honest, as there are many odd things. For example, I couldn't quite figure out how to access the files on the device from my computer: my Linux machine can't see the files in MTP mode. PTP works, but only sees the "DCIM" and "Pictures" folders and none of the other folders. Sometimes neither mode work.
I was able to upload the F-Droid.apk file on the machine with one of those modes, anyways. And I was able to install the app once I ticked the "untrusted apps" setting. But the f-droid app doesn't show up in the "apps" section, which I find quite confusing. It makes it very diffucult to start that app, to put it mildly. The only way I found to start the app is to go to the "recent apps" button on the top right and it just happens to still be running there. I don't know how I would restart it without that button.
Any suggestions on how to deal with third-party apps on the Onyx devices?
Edit: I found out about
RelaunchX but I'm not sure I'm ready to totally ditch the builtin launcher...
Edit 2: I'm also curious to hear if people managed to "root" the device and install the
F-Droid OTA app that allows f-droid to run without the "untrusted apps" hack and (incidentally) automatically upgrade apps.
