Forcing full screen refresh from my apk on T68?

Areinu · 09-12-2014, 08:11 AM

I am trying to make one open source project more fit to e-ink. It's comic reading app and I would like to force "blink"/full refresh every x pages. Just like default reading app on T68 does. How could that be done?

Also, if it's hardware specific, how could I detect beyond doubt that device I'm using is a T68?

build.prop...?

Build.prop could change how refresh works on my device. I want users who install my apk on their device, who are NOT rooted, to be able to read comics without really ugly ghosting from previous picture.

For example cool reader pre-installed on the device has a setting for full refresh every 1/2/3/4 pages or never. If it's every page you'll be getting black blink after each page, but thanks to that you won't have ghosting from previous one.

While T68 does well enough with ghosting that in reading apps it's not a problem, when there are images concerned it becomes really ugly after switching pages.

To do what you ask for, you'll need the Onyx Android SDK. You can email sales@onyx-international.com and they'll add you to their github account where you can download it.
