I received my Leaf2 a few days ago. I like the image quality and the flexibility of side-loading apks but I'm a bit frustrated by the slowness of the device. It's fine when in a reading app and just flipping pages, but it's very noticeable when doing more complex things, like managing files or navigating the Web.

I've also been struggling to set up my reader app of choice (Typhon, https://github.com/krukgit/typhon). The app works fine on its own, but it crashes when trying to open it with TTS files loaded in (after several days spent trying to copy 80'000 files onto the device). I believe the issue is with the lack of RAM. The app is likely trying to load all audio files (~730mb) into memory and the device is running out.

Has anyone had any success in increasing the amount of RAM on Onyx Boox devices? Perhaps creating a swap file on the SD card?
