RKBatchTool was displaying menus in Chinese. I applied the following change to config.ini and it displays in English:

In spite of a couple of minor glitches, I'm pleased with the Boyue ROM on my T63. Out of curiosity, is there a Gonyx ROM available for the T63? I had one on my T62+ that worked well. Since I have TWRP on my T63, I can experiment but easily go back to the Boyue ROM if something doesn't work right. |

I doubt that there is an advantage now. At the time when I did that, the brightness level on the stock Boyue T62+ ROM was too bright for me, even at the lowest level. Using tools from this forum, I first copied the ROM from an Onyx C67ML that I had to my T62+. The brightness controls on the Onyx ROM allowed me to choose a lower brightness level. Besides that, battery life was much better. I tried the Gonyx later, with similarly good results. I understand that subsequent Boyue updates corrected both issues. I don't see either issue on the stock ROM of my T63.
So, unless I'm missing something, there may be no advantage now. I'd be curious enough to check it out and find out, if I had the chance. But I'd be surprised if there was an advantage. |

Edit: From what I see, only one of those versions is newer than what I now have. Edit #2: After some playing around, I was able to download the January 17 update from Baidu. It was in rar compressed format. Uncompressing it, I found the update.img file. I know how to use the RKBatchTool, but I still wonder about the language options. Only one way to know for sure, I guess! Backup my current setup and try this one! Last edited by downeaster59; 01-18-2017 at 08:48 AM. |

Please post an update if you brave thru the update. The little untranslated things in settings annoy me, but if I ended up with the whole UI being in Chinese it would be just a waste of time to set everything up again (not sure how reliable twrp backup is). |

I don't think I'll try the update.img for two reasons: one, the risk of getting a Chinese-only firmware; two, there's no easy way to remove the stock recovery from the update.img. That means that twrp gets wiped and stock recovery restored if I install the update.img. Can I reinstall twrp on the updated firmware? If not, I've lost any access to my backup. I wish that Boyue would provide a simple update.zip on their baidu site for the T63. It would be easier to remove the stock recovery from that and then restore my backup if the update isn't good. So, unless I know I can restore my backup, I won't try it. The update will still be Android 4.2.2. No advantage there. It might improve stock apps, that I don't use. No advantage there. The backlight works fine for me. Battery life is fine. So, the risk is relatively high to update, but the benefits relatively small. Guess I'm staying put for now! |

My boyue bricked itself while I was walking (it really doesn't like the cold weather, does it), so I was forced to update.
Overall, the new firmware (T62D from November) is an improvement in many respects. They fixed the issue of the side-loaded apps that supposed to be in a full screen mode displaying the black bar at the bottom, which is a great plus. Some of the options, such as wifi timeout, are also a great addition, although I haven't tested it yet. There is also an option to set a password to open up, it wasn't there before. Battery life I haven't had a chance to test out properly yet, but it does make me cautious, because it tells me that on 80% of charge it can keep running for only 13 hours (before it could last me 40 hours on that) which is really not something I'd enjoy, but perhaps it is just the first charge after the system install, and it will be better afterwards. Few things bug me a lot, though. First, Xposeed Framework cannot be installed, it results in the boot loop error (if there are workarounds, I would appreciate hearing them), so here is to reinstalling everything again *sigh*. Scrolling through a large page becomes annoying, definitely less responsive than it was before. And also, it's a stupid issue, but it is a bit ridiculous - in Nova Launcher, I cannot change the background. No matter what I do, it always stays as black.

http://www.boyue.com/category.aspx?nid=34 I changed the language to english rooted and flashed google play. It all works correctly. The only problem that I have is that coolreader does not auto detect this firmware as eink so a few options seem to be missing. |
