Sure, but why not compile it with a more recent Android SDK version?

At the very least someone would have to do quite a bit of testing to see what happens. Iirc there were also library loading issues on Android 13+ (if set as intended for Android 13, currently it's set as intended for Android 11) but those may have been resolved now that we switched to a "monolibtic" library.

My white Onyx Go 7 (BW) has lost support for setting the full screen refresh frequency since the latest Koreader, including the latest development builds.

When doing the compatibility test it states that the device is "already supported", but "EPD: none". The "Onyx/Qualcomm" driver works for that, but for whatever reason seems to have been deactivated since the latest stable build.

Where should this bug be reported so that the correct EPD driver can be activated for this model again?

It says here there were bugs with it https://github.com/koreader/android-...ncher/pull/563

You didn't experience any?

Sure, Koreader sometimes turns into a black screen on many Onyx devices, which is resolved by restarting it. However, I don't see how removing the driver is a solution. If I can't set full refresh to every page turn, I can't read at all.

Occasionally just killing the app and starting it again, while slightly annoying, is a price I'm willing to pay until it gets fixed.
