Hi guys,
I'm a brand new member, just registered!
So today I got what I think was a great deal on Amazon Uk, the Energy Sistem Ereader Pro HD for just under £90 direct from Energy Sistem (was the last one from them 20% off!) and the genuine case from another seller which i felt was expensive £14 + £12 delivery!
A little about me, i like android and linux, i like to play and tinker, i like to root, i like Google and use their services where ever I can. I have a chromebook laptop which runs a full linux distro with a windows 7 virtual machine, I use nexus phones (currently nexus 6p). I have a very small library on Google Play Books but I wanted an ereader which wasn't going to tie me into a particular eco system, like Kindle as I already started buying books from Google. To me this seems like the perfect device and i bought it mostly for an up coming holiday and I have liked the idea of an ereader for a while, I didn't know there was so much choice in the market outside of the Kindle world until you really start looking, I saw ones that run android and i knew i had to get one! This will be my first ereader.
So iv read around a little and i understand that Energy Sistem are often rebranded Boyue models and i have a few questions if anyone would be kind enough to answer:
1 which Boyue model is the Pro HD based on?
2 I would like to root it, and use use the full screen app to remove the status bar, which is the best method for this device? as i dont know which boyue model its based off i dont know if the boyue modding thread (near the top in the android development sub forum) would be of any help which is. apk would be preferable but i do have adb / fastboot access and can use linux or windows on my laptop
3 provided i can successfully root i would like to remap the left hand side page turn buttons to control the screen brightness, is that possible? up and down keys according if possible
4 maybe remap other keys, not sure yet
5 I intend on continuing to use Google play for my books, can you high light a single word and save it as a note like the regular android app? I use these to keep my place as well as book marks. It will sync my progress between devices in this way to?
I know its quite a bit to ask, and at the moment im waiting for delivery, im just very excited about my new device!
Thanks guys!
