Hi DarkCookie,

Thank you again for creating this very useful app. It surely made my i86 more useful to me. I am waiting for the paid version of the manager.

Is it possible to create an app that would force screen refresh after any touch on the screen(probably after a few delay)? It would be awesome for manga/comic app.

Yes, but it will require rooted device in this case (for "any touch on the screen" detecting).

You can contact me at private message if you don't want to wait. I cannot sell globally via google play yet.

For reading and annotating PDFs I am using the original Onyx Neo Reader. It is good and I like it, but for scribbling the thinnest line selectable in the menu is too thick. The problem is that in the menu it looks quite thin, but when actually used it is much thicker. Is there some way how to change it? E.g. in ezPDF Reader it is quite possible, but the interface is more complex. Any suggestions?

Thank you.

Yeah nowI got an Onyx i86, too. Very neat device.

Only one disadvantage. There is no included casing.

Do you have a suggestion for a leather casing?

I realized chompop request and here is preview how it works:

Good news is that root is not required. Delay can be prolonged or completely removed.

I also made available new screen refresh mode which is beetween A2 and normal mode. It preventing from redundantly screen blinking and do not creating so much ghosting like A2.

Recently I bought from ebay stereo to mono adapter (<1$ cost) and connected mono speaker without external power to i86:

Works quite loud and I have two audio channels.

I asked me this question by my self and came to the same conlusion.

I'm using Rotation Lock Adaptive:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...t.rotate&hl=de

- Its menu is very big >> easy to handle
- Its in black and white >> easy to read

I would suggest to ignore the build-in rotation functionanlity. Just use one app, not two.

Another tipp: I changed the browser (to dolphin). The build-in browser doesnt show links proberly within a text, if the link isnt marked by the homepage itself.

Some text with a link

A pure link: https://www.mobileread.com/

Instead of just saying you fixed it, can you tell what you did to fix it?
