Unfortunately, I haven't a clue. I've never rooted any device and am not all the tech savvy. Am now very glad that there was not a rooted version with the Play Store on it when I bought my A5. Otherwise I might have been tempted to go for it instead.

I'm really surprised that the rooted Play Store version does not include some way of easily refreshing the screen. That would seem to be a fairly important feature for any eink device due to ghosting.

One thing which you could do is make sure that the eink control panel is available on your Navigation Bar. It is the rectangle with the line beneath it. if you switch between eink modes that should trigger a screen refresh. Not as simple as using a double click of the eink button, but it should get the job done.

You may also want to contact the CECT Shop or Hisense to see if they have any ideas.
