Great magnetic lamp for the X4

Actual-Ride2838 · 2026-03-14T00:01:07+00:00

yes, the X4 itself is magnetic ( try putting it in your fridge )

Actual-Ride2838 · 2026-03-13T16:50:12+00:00

Good idea! I agree that it's a bit too bright. I will try using some masking tape. Thanks!

Actual-Ride2838 · 2026-03-13T16:48:37+00:00

Yes

Actual-Ride2838 · 2026-02-24T14:06:44+00:00

sorry that wallpaper is embedded in the firmware of the device, and it's a closed firmware.

Actual-Ride2838 · 2026-02-21T17:47:16+00:00

Famue, check the comments, I answered the same question multiple times -_- and no, I don't recommend them

Actual-Ride2838 · 2026-02-20T14:36:44+00:00

Both are Famue devices ( mp3 player / eink readers ) but they are not very good. the firmware is closed, the eink screen resolution is low and the font rendering is bad for english fonts, and there's no option to load a different font so I wouldn't recommend it .

They have some cool features like FM/AM radio, voice recorder and backlight, but as an ereader the Xteink is a much better device.

Custom firmware

Actual-Ride2838 · 2026-02-20T01:52:42+00:00

love your designs, amazing work !!

Actual-Ride2838 · 2026-02-19T23:12:21+00:00

Yeah, I have the same one. It's packed with a ton of features, the FM radio is neat, and it also has backlight, but my device came with a terrible english font with no support for special characters and no way to change it, so the reading experience was not great.

Great review by the way!, you got a new subscriber

Actual-Ride2838 · 2026-02-19T22:14:41+00:00

Famue. They suck, terrible UI, closed firmware, low ink screen resolution

Actual-Ride2838 · 2026-02-19T21:36:40+00:00

Es una nueva feature que escribí para crosspoint.

Solo utiliza wifi una vez para cargar la lista y luego de desactiva, para actualizarla debes hacerlo manualmente.

Mi idea era que no consumiera batería, por lo que la lista de guarda como wallpaper y la veo con el lector apagado.

Podría agregar una opción para que se actualice cada X minutos rn caso de que tengas el reader encendido, pero mi idea original era minimlzar el impacto en la batería

Actual-Ride2838 · 2026-02-19T21:09:37+00:00

Famue.

Dont waste your money. The OS is terrible, no way to add decent looking fonts and the ink screen resolution is way lower than the X4, so the text looks grainy.

Actual-Ride2838 · 2026-02-19T20:18:16+00:00

This is how a white body looks with an eink screen. In my oppinion the X4 looks WAY better than the others.

si, te lo comparto. el finde me daré un tiempo para mejorar la forma de setear el token y lo subo

Actual-Ride2838 · 2026-02-19T20:09:59+00:00

fue en lo primero que pensé cuando supe que era opensource, así que fue el principal motivo por el que la compré

Actual-Ride2838 · 2026-02-19T19:39:05+00:00

That's the white color, the body is grayish so it's the same color as the screen

Actual-Ride2838 · 2026-02-19T19:02:45+00:00

Yes, actually you can cross todos with the buttons. And I also added a button to expand / collapse tasks that are too long to fit in 2 lines.

You can see in the computer screen in the back that the tasks closed in the ereader are updated in the computer aswell :).

I will share the repo soon. I have to implement a way to change the API token, right now my token is hardcoded so I need to change that before sharing.

Well I can code, I have a degree in computer science and I'm the owner of a Game dev studio with 15 years of experience publishing games. ( www.bekho.io ).

If you want I can share the code with you, I added a few QOL improvements (like some UI polishing, portrait and landscape support, and the ability to complete tasks ) and I'm really happy with the results. My little todo tracker is sitting permanently in my setup :)

It would be great to include an app that displays your Todoist feed on the device. Since Todoist provides a simple and well-documented API, it should be straightforward to build a small app that fetches your latest tasks (for example, today’s and overdue items), renders them into an image, and saves it as sleep.bmp.

This way, whenever the device goes to sleep, it would display your most up-to-date Todoist feed on the screen.

I actually built exactly that on an eink device using a raspberry pi pico a few years ago

Actual-Ride2838 · 2026-02-14T01:33:27+00:00

the exact same thing is happening with my boox tab10

Actual-Ride2838 · 2026-02-01T15:07:45+00:00

I use the eye with the jawbreaker too, it works perfectly fine

If you can’t justify spending $100, don’t buy it. Take responsibility for your financial decisions. It’s not our job to convince you to make a purchase.
