The PDF reader is based on http://podofo.sourceforge.net/ Probably a closer look at these libraries and at Onyx's sources will tell us what sort of format they use for the highlighting so we can export that decently. I believe that that is the only thing missing right now. There is something that really intrigued me... on that github page at the bottom you can see code grouped under some "android" categories... I wonder what could that be? Does this mean that this has underlaying android code? I would love to see ezPDf reader ported on this e-reader! Actually not ported but installed :-), I don't thing the sources are available. We need a programmer in this group ! |

I'm taking back my complains about the web browser; I had a chance to connect to another wifi network, and the browser worked well (though I miss https a lot).
A question: does anybody else have a problem with the precision of the pen input? For me it is off by ~3mm (in some parts of the screen) and the stylus calibration setting doesn't help |

In the middle of the screen the precision of the Stylus is very good. The further away from the center, the worse is the precision. Calibration doesn't help. It bothers me when I try to write or to draw. Last edited by medvedev; 01-01-2012 at 02:05 PM. |

Please, if you know any other stylus a little bit bigger to be used with the M92, let me know. RAFA |

Hello to everybody,

The readme file on https://github.com/onyx-intl/booxsdk contains various dead links. They mention the sites booxusers.com and onyxcommunity.com. Both do not exist anymore, as it seems. lunohod said that you can flash a custom firmware, but it is not documented anywhere how this should be done. Does anybody know if onyx plans to eventually release an SDK for the M92? I really like the M92 a lot, but I think I will send it back if I am not able to run custom applications on it. |

From what you are saying I understand that they do not have any ereader running Android. I am the happy owner of a Nook Touch and I am more than happy with it. The screen size is the only reason why I am currently looking for another ereader.
I only hope that they plan to maintain backward compatibility with old hardware like M90/M92. that would probably solve many problems although I understand that their profits will be diminished since they will have to pay some fees for using Android, right? |

M92 firmware update process
Quote:
![]() The firmware update for M92 is similar to the one for previous devices (e.g. M90) but since it has an internal SD card instead of a plain flash, there are differences; it uses ext4 as a filesystem for the internal partition instead of YAFFS2, and the upgrade file is a password protected zip (Google doesn't know the password, but it can be recovered with some effort... zip files aren't that good) instead of a aes-encrypted image of the root filesystem. The initramdisk checks if there is any update-XXXXXXXX.zip (X=digit) on the external sd card, if so it erases the root file system and extracts the zip file there. If there are files in the /boot directory they are flashed accordingly (they are: boot/boot-splash, boot/uImage, boot/uImage-initramfs); the whole boot directory is erased and the device is rebooted. What happens now depends on the new firmware, usually /etc/appstart.sh is executed and if /etc/firstboot.sh exists it is executed and removed. Hope this clears things up a bit.

Because Onyx policies are so detrimental to any form of community participation that sadly, everyone except for a few geeks doing nothing reading related at all are still messing with their devices. Onyx have shown disregard for the community and the open-source world so many times already, I wouldn't use their stuff if I got it for free... They are really, and sadly, a cheap Chinese copycat company of the worst kind. (and originally I came here because I was interested in their M92, it only seems that they haven't invested any effort at all in usability, judging from the comments on problems here)... |

You are right in one respect, they are a small company and I guess hardware production itself might be a problem. Scaling up might be a problem for such a company on both fronts software and hardware. Having to deal with community requests might also be a challenge when you are short of staff. At this monent other that PB903 this is the only decent reader for PDF reading and annotating... I see that you own a kindle, I don't think that your kindle is better in any of the above mentioned respects. I would dare to say, on the contrary.... |

Briss
Hi guys!
I have found this program Briss (http://www.freewaregenius.com/2011/0...ual-interface/). You can cut a scientific article in 4 pieces, so you can read it really big (like the option of zooming of 903). I attach the original file, the final file and a screenshot of how i put the boxes to obtain the file with the program. Hope it helps ! [MOD: removed sample files. It's not clear they're public domain] Last edited by pdurrant; 01-04-2012 at 08:42 AM. |
