Changing KOReader directory on Android.

foreverconfused · Yesterday, 04:27 AM

I am using KOReader on Android 16. I have even tried to migrate the app to external storage. However, the KOReader folder still is still located in Internal Storage. How can I truly migrate the app to external storage so it recognizes the "Fonts" folder in my External Storage instead?

Is not possible unless your ROM has a setting that allows you to move the primary storage partition to the external storage. And 99% of users wouldn't want that as sdcards are extremely slow.

I see, can I at least make the app load custom fonts and plugins from SD card then?

not really, at least not without fiddling with the code. Maybe it is possible to squeeze a patch in internal storage that changes runtime enough to load the rest of the stuff from the external storage path.

People do fancy Ai stuff these days, you could try that.

IMO not worth it for a few KB of plugins. Im not sure how many GB of fonts do you have around. If less than 1 I wouldn't bother with that either.

I have 10GB worth of fonts

I don't understand why it is not easy to add a custom Font directory. Librera has one.
