I was happy to see that in the Note app they added an export function - so now your notes are not stuck in the device forever. Well done, Onyx!
The next step should be adding a search function so you don't need to manually sift through hundreds of notes when looking for a specific one. This is one of the main advantages of using a digital tool over paper...
One step at a time, I guess.

I've just been using the 4.4 firmware with 3rd party apps. One day I might try installing the apps from the ICS firmware on the KK one just to see if they work. After all, didn't Onyx once say they were going to try and make the apps firmware independent, more like regular apps you update without having to reflash everything?

Depending on your needs, there seems to be a dealbreaker with 1.8.1.

Apart from the first one, the Recently Read items on the Home page no longer have text as well as icons for each item. It is imposible to tell from an icon which pdf you are looking at, so it is useless.

Furthermore, NeoReader2 is useless for reading any pdfs that you may have highlighted before scanning.

It isimpossible to get the Bold and the Contrast settings so that you can read the highlighted areas as well as the normal text. The highlights are blacked out or the text is far too feint.

Exports

So, I've been using NeoReader 2.0 and it works pretty well (for what I do with it). Scribble goes smoothly and is prettier than in the old reader. But there is a catch: exported files are awful. Scribble is all blurred and distorted. Has anyone else noticed that?

What makes you think that it doesn't have bluetooth? And if it really doesn't, how can we help?

Under Network setup I only see The wifi but no bluetooth. When I look up the status it showed bluetooth address not available. I did flashed to the latest firmware.

thanks

adb devices should list it. if not, enable usb debugging on the t68.

Why not just use the mfgtool like they state on this page:

ereader-store.de/en/content/8-downloads

That's how I got KK on mine, not adb. Or are you using some other source of KK other than page?

indeed it's the page i'm following and it says

Step 3

You must set your Boox in download mode now. There are two ways to do it:
Re-boot your device in this mode using a special buttons combination:
power off your device (e.g. long press of power button)
Press PgDn (<) + PgUp (>) + power button for three seconds. The led blinks once but screen remains unchanged. Your device is in download mode now.
Or using adb tool
Download adb package here
Make sure USB debugging mode of your Boox is On (Apps->Settings-> Developer options->USB Debugging should be checked) and connect your device to the PC
Go to the adb folder with unziped files and start Command Prompt
At the command line type: adb reboot download (enter) Your device should change into download mode now

You wouldn't happen to be on Win10, would you? Even with Win8/8.1 I have had difficulties with android devices. I haven't done more than a token effort on Win10, but 8 & 8.1 both worked for mfgtool and adb and other android tools. It's been awhile, but I think it was something about turning off 'driver enforcement' (or something. I'm on Linux atm).

Device: Have Onyx Boox M96 (Had KoboGlo, Sony PRS-300, Sony PRS-900, Kindle).
I have the M96 Universal.
Have anyone tried the new firmware?
The 1.8.1 of the http://ereader-store.de/en/content/8-downloads is the same as the official site?
Thanks
