These are releases from 03/13/2024.
now that you mention it... i guess i was playing around with the blocklist you sent for the Epos 3 and added that partition without really thinking about it...

There are a bunch of other partitions on the device that probably aren't being used for anything (but of course i have no idea)... what do you think? a good idea to expose them for "backup" at least in twrp? (i think i know the answer to my own question... "why not?" :P)

i'll do that.

btw (i know this doesn't belong in this thread) but you seem to be quite active on a number of forums... do you know of anyone else who's replaced/upgraded the system webview (the little embedded browser for android that the stock tolino reading app (and einkbro etc) use)? i was trying out einkbro on my vision6 the other day and it was pretty bad (some sites wouldn't open at all, or would hang and fill the log with error messages)... i need to do some comparative battery/memory testing (1gb is really too little for modern browsers i guess) but i've upgraded webview 61 -> 122 (the latest) and well yeah it's clearly living dangerous on the edge (with 30MB free ram and 26MB on swap with an average ebook loaded... although i've tried with much bigger epubs as well as large pdfs and didn't see much of a difference in RAM usage... need more testing). the bottom line is that those formerly broken sites now open fine on einkbro (and well... i was trying to see if i could use flowoss through the browser but clearly that needs more ram and crashed the browser)... anyway. just an interesting thing to tinker with. maybe i'll do a write-up of how to do it. (although i think it would be more interesting to someone with a glowlight 4 with 2gb of ram... i knew i should have bought that one instead :P :P
