Onyx Boox Kon-Tiki 2 (Nova3 platform) - apps

[mergen3107]

Also, I don't know how to make the Android top status bar contrasty as well. It keeps changing its color depending on the app

@Renate

Have you ever experienced “not quite unresponsive touch” on an Onyx Boox right after you unlock the screen?

By this I mean “som” touches are registered, some are not. Forceful lock and unlock solves that issue.

I always read in KOReader but I cannot tell whether this an Onyx issue or a KOReader issue.

Any idea where I should start? Thanks!

You could use my UsbMode.apk (in my sig) to show touches.
You could use Settings > Developer options > (Show taps, Pointer location).

Oh, thanks! I almost forgot about your tool

Is there a way to prevent power conservation when screen is on, but idling?

I can see this, I remember, in logcat logs, something like Onyx power manager putting device to “idle”.

The problem is that KOReader stops updating the status bar clock after about a minute, unless I swipe or tap.

Here is how it goes to suspend:

10-18 14:33:27.618  1341  1378 D PowerManagerService:  ========== Enter idle mode ==========
10-18 14:33:27.618  1341  1378 D OnyxPowerManager:  ========== start switchPowerState ==========
10-18 14:33:27.618  1341  1378 D OnyxPowerManager:  ========== Setup standby alarm: 1800000 ==========
10-18 14:33:27.619  1341  1378 D OnyxPowerManager:  ========== setKernelPowerModeImp: freeze ==========
10-18 14:33:27.621  1341  1378 D OnyxPowerManager:  ========== switchPowerState end ==========

Here is how it resumes when I tap/swipe:

10-18 14:34:12.807  1341  1445 D OnyxPowerManager:  ========== start switchPowerState ==========
10-18 14:34:12.807  1341  1445 D OnyxPowerManager:  ========== Cancel alarms ==========
10-18 14:34:12.808  1341  1445 D OnyxPowerManager:  ========== switchPowerState end ==========
10-18 14:34:12.808  1341  1445 D OnyxPowerManager:  ========== setKernelPowerModeImp: off ==========

I turned off battery optimization, but this didn't help.
I found PID 1341 from the above logs in top, it is system_server.
AFAIU, it is a system service responsible for power management, among other things.

[mergen3107]

Alright! Solution found.
1) Gain Root access
2) Buy Greenify advanced.
3) Enable there system app hibernation.
4) Find PowerOffAlarm package, make it go hibernate.
5) KOReader refreshes work!
6) System sleep works anyway as well!

Edit:
Simpler solution is to

pm disable com.qualcomm.qti.poweroffalarm

LOL.
