That said, I had to add this in my udev configuration to make the Pro detected by calibre (thanks for the tip!):

# Onyx Note https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=296401
ATTR{idVendor}=="2207", ATTR{idProduct}=="0001", MODE="0664", GROUP="plugdev"
# Onyx Note Pro
ATTR{idVendor}=="2207", ATTR{idProduct}=="000d", MODE="0664", GROUP="plugdev"

Note the different idProduct for the Pro...

Hello,

Verify that the « debug mode » is authorized on the device AND that the Linux's MAC address is allowed too.

The output of « dmesg » :

[2504829.913870] usb 1-9.2: new high-speed USB device number 17 using xhci_hcd

At this stage a dialog box ask to authorize the Linux's MAC address. After the « OK » :

That's the part I'm missing: how do I enable debug mode on the device? I couldn't find it in the settings.

about phone -> compilation version (click five to ten times) -> you will see a toast saying: developer settings enabled!. Go back. A new submenu called "developers settings" should be present on your settings app.

You need to enable USB Debugging for adb.

So that's what I mean: I know how to enable developer settings on a regular Android phone. But there's no "About phone" menu in the settings here. On the Note Pro, the "settings" page has, on top, the details about the device like the android version, MAC address, Version number, and if you tap on that, you get to "About device" and that doesn't have a "compilation version". There's a "build number" in the "firmware update" menu, but that doesn't work either.

I tapped numerous times all over the place, nothing would do.

Is there another settings app I'm missing or what?

Update: Oh! Actually, there *is* such a settings app I'm missing! By using another launcher, I can get to the "real" Android settings app and I am able to setup ADB! Thanks!

Yeah, Boyue and Onyx seem to blacklist some applications from their launcher. Sometimes it is to avoid duplication, sometimes it is to hide IP thief, and sometimes is to hide almost broken applications that need to be launched via the ACTION_VIEW intent and not via a launcher),

I never had an onyx device but the boyue clone I tested did hide all book applications (FBReader, Adobe, FBReader plugins) and some boyue crapware (RKUpdate, Analytics-Reporter, etc)

Have fun with your device!

USB debugging on Note Pro is normally under Settings/Application/USB debugging.
