Replaced my Pro+ with the Pro HD

[aceflor]

I had some points on my energy sistem client account already lying around, then there was a special offer of 300 more for mother's day and finally a renewal offer (send us your old and get a new model for a smaller price). So I took advantage of it and my Pro+ went back and I now have a Pro HD, which has the flush screen. The whole process of sending the old device in and getting the new one lasted some weeks, but ah well.

It's nicely thinner and lighter than the pro+, the display is good, but I do miss the rounded corners a bit.

Apart from that it works exactly as the Pro+ did. I am wondering which Boyue model it is based on ..... ???

Anyway, if you need me to look at things or experiment with it, ask me.

PS: Rooted of course
PS2: The Energy Sistem Pro HD is a Boyue T64 (says build.prop).

1) Yes, but without root you cannot use fullscreen (the app) which enables to conceal the status bar. The status bar is only gone in the native reader apps (adobe and FB, both in very simplified versions), and visible with any other reader app (I like AlReader and Koreader).
2) nope.
3) yes, it is quite white (as the Pro+) and the size is compact. It is not as white as other e-reader I have (Voyage and H2O), but it is the whitest I have seen on android ones.
4) not yet. Only 32 GB.
5) not yet. It's more of a toy for me than anything else right now, I will use it more when travelling. Do you want me to test some specific apps for you?

If you have the Pro+ and need TTS, the swap may not be worth it as the audio is gone on the Pro HD. Personally, I never found a TTS app I liked, I hated the voices in Spanish and German so I never used it.

fair enough

2) nope.

pity

voyage,h20 and kobo HD are quite amazing

4) not yet. Only 32 GB.

still a considerate and nifty amount, anyway 64 is supported by vendors declarations( an alexandrine library even if use pdf as me), and even 128 I guess( a borges babylonian library)

5) not yet. It's more of a toy for me than anything else right now, I will use it more when travelling. Do you want me to test some specific apps for you?

you are really kind, but now I've seen some video, the double processor is quite cool, and
the fluidity is of course light years away from ipad, what matters is that one should not use too much refresh otherwise the life lenght really shorten up on e readers




Regarding TTS, home or travel I will always have a phone with an external SD where to put hours of Johan Sebastian Bach. If I am sporting or cycling(as I live in Amsterdam), I will rather hear some outstanding podcast than hearing a book.
and then let's face it sometimes we have to be zen and empty our bookworm mind-->

I still hope to find a way to bring an all inclusive ereader/smartwatch/phone/tablet/notebook than 5 devices but I am not complaining as in 2kg(+bose noise cancelling of course) in the backpack can virtually do everything. Thanks Aceflor

I need to copy part of technical texts in pdf and paste on notes sw so that I can manage them later.

this brings me to a second question. can i switch easy between two apps (in this case a notes sw, and ereader) or I have to go through kind of home screen, find other sw etc?


EDIT: a nice workaround would be export highilghts passages from the ereader, so that i do not have to switch continuously, but can do it at end of my studying session and import all the notes in a doc

thanks

What I use for this is Koreader in combination with Evernote. The Evernote plugin is included in Koreader.

Could an admin move this thread to the normal Android part of the forum ? I realize now I have opened it in the Developper's Corner, which I had not intended to do.

Thanks !

Edited to say : That was quick... !!!!

I was able to install alreader in full immersive mode without rooting. However no matter how i play with the settings after several pages i get some dirt. Has anyone experienced that? Also the front light is terrible. There are grey areas around the edges and a thick grey line at the top that goes all the way from left to right. I am thinking of sending it back because of that. I also noticed a bug, that happens without any obvious patter. After going to sleep the device can not be waken up and it needs to be restarted. I also noticed that there are custom firmwares for the Boyue T62. Is there a custo? ROM for this one.

Hello. I have the Energy Pro HD, and when I use the web browser it flashes again and again. Is there a way to toggle the A2 refresh mode on this? And are there any viable custom ROMs on this? I saw on another thread you tried the Icarus ROM, how did that work? Thanks!
