Since the screen was broken on the Leaf 1 and the Leaf 2 was coming out I ordered the Leaf 2 White.
I will probably root it to install AFWall+ when I receive it. Root would also make it possible to remove all the Onyx Apps completely. (not just for user0 through adb) that might brick the device or make it bootloop. Since there is no recovery it's not possible to make a Nandroid backup and I wouldn't know how to factory reset it. Is there a way to make a backup or flash a factory image just in case?
I would install a different launcher like
[E-Ink launcher, 4.2+] Simple Ink Launcher
before fully removing the default launcher of course.
I'm guessing that removing every Onyx app (including the launcher) might break the side-buttons, has anyone tried that?
