Liking my Mars so far, I experience zero eye strain while using it !! Though I do have to get used to the fluency (is this a word?) of the tablet.

One question: how can I change the wallpaper? I've found the right folder but I can't find how I can upload a picture to it.

Well, I don’t know about the Mimas, but for the Mars I noticed this earlier post:

So I just wonder if it could accept keyboard or even Ethernet.

Glad it worked out, you want the app tab of the home screen then user settings, user settings, wallpaper settings.

I have been using Likebook Mars and I found it to be excellent for my work, keeping the limitations of the device in mind. By yrial and error, I think I have all the correct apps installed now.
One thing that I need changed is that in dark room at night, I need to get the screen light on by guesswork or I need an external light to put on the screen light - did/can anyone find/think of any solution to put on the screen light in total dark other than guesswork?
I was thinking of some gesture control app, but did not find any suitable option.

Urgent Help Needed:

1. The icon of Calibre Companion app (along with some other app icons) is vanishing from Likebook Mars Home page for no apparent reason. After many restarts, I bring it/them back!

2. Battery draining fast.

Will be grateful for any suggestions/solutions.

What other apps are on the device? Might want to backup the internal sdcard. Do you have an external sdcard in it? Last resort is to factory reset it. Edit: by home page do you mean the home tab or the apps tab as well?

Hi, first message here. I have a likebook Mars since a week and I am very satisfied with it. I love reading ebooks with Moon + Reader Pro, but I also like the idea of the widget in the home screen telling me how much time I spent reading, but unfortunately it works just with the default app. Is there a way to let the reading time widget consider also other apps' time?

no, it's only tied into the stock app. Moon + has its own built in one in the app though.

Just to let everyone know, we now have a shiny new Boyue forum (which this thread is in), so there's no need to use one interminable thread to ask lots of unrelated questions .

Is the app that is disappearing storing data in an android folder on the EXT sdcard? Try running the device without for it a few days and see if changes anything. Your symptoms are of a bad sdcard or poor formatted one. I would start there.

so I don't think OTG works on the Likebook Mars or Mimas, though I would be be glad to hear if there is someone who can share their experience to prove otherwise!

============

I had trouble connecting PC w/Mars on 2 different notebooks, then tried using the USB cable that came with Mars and it worked.

Cannot connect usb stick via micro cable -- something that works on all my android tablets and phone.

1. How to transfer these ebooks from my PC to Likebook Mars device so that the bookcover images downloaded by me are displayed on the ebook reader, not the cover images embedded in the MOBI file?

have you tried the upload to kindle app from amazon -- then se the kindle app on Mars

I’m about to choose between mars and nova. One thing that I care and didn’t found in any review is the front glass. I wonder if it’s a shiny glass like phones and normal tablets or it’s textured like kindle screens?

The Mars does not have a front glass, it's probably some plastic substrate.
