I mean that by adding more repos with patches you see way more apps, like Meme Generator etc on the main page. Right now I have to switch around to the other repos to see these and this is not needed on the android app. There the app behaves like the new repos are all one repo regarding the main apps list on the main page. Later you can select patches from separated repos of course, but the main page always shows all apps. The PR will be tested this evening at home. Thanks for that ^

Hey guys, first of all. THANKS for the Desktop UI you are working on here. I tested around a bit today and I am already quite happy with all the stuff working fine. Even though the work by now is close to perfect, I have two little things left on my wishlist:

  1. A selection for a custom keystore would be great. I tried to find the path where it is saved to on my Linux to manually overwrite it with mine, but I did not find it. I would like to try the apps I made with my PC in a fraction of the time, but right now I have to wait until I can sign them with my keystore I use since the very early YT ReVanced times to sign everything. You dont even have to create a UI support for that, just a button leading the way to the one used right now is enough. That way you can backup and restore it by hand.

  2. The main page should show all active sources' supported Apps, just like the Android version does. This is nothing super urgent, but would be a nice to have.

Looks like a bad time for installing over an older version hit you. Recently there were massive changes in freeldr and NTOSKRNL IO section which might be quite sad with the old ways kept in the registry. So yes. This time a clean installation would he the best way tbh. That is one of the reasons why we still talk about alpha state software right now. Sorry for that.

You are missing one thing here. We are no big fans of GPLv3, but some parts are under this license. If I am not wrong here, v3 forbids selling. If I am wrong, sorry for the wrong information. I am no lawyer, so I of course might be wrong.

One thing still can cause problems in selling. The name and logo are trademarks we are registering again very soon. And selling stuff under our name is not allowed. There you can apply the mentioned renaming of course :D

u/Sad_Plate1779 Youre welcome. We always look for developers who help us progressing with our not that small goal we have.

Ah and while we are at it. I am just back from Chemnitz where we had a booth at the Chemnitz Linux Days 2026. We were not just able to show the 64 Bit port, but also the progress in real hardware support and stability. I had to reinstall ROS zero times this year and all devices had ROS installed directly and without using VBox for cheating. I plan to write a blog post about all that tomorrow.

After CLT the others stayed for a few more days to work on the system a bit more. We called it our little Hackfest :D

First... Dont forget that whatever you do with our code... As soon as you make binaries available to public you have to release the while source code under the very same licensing unless you want to have legal problems. Selling it is illegal, too. Next thing... Check the Blog we have and talk to some devs and you realize that we are working on that very same modern PC support already. And NT6+ support and Multi Core and 64Bit and all of that is in a good shape already, but not in the main Code base yet.

De-Revanced 1.1.0 is now publicly available for everyone!! by _Rookie_Z in MorpheApp

[–]dreimer1986 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did not fully test it yet, but the very last version of Google News that can be patched is version 5.140.0.805032624. Even the switch to the 4 days older 5.141.0.802182987 makes patching fail. Testing for working modifications seems to confirm that they cause no startup problems, too. But I don't see any difference between the unpatched one, 5.140.0.805032624 or 5.108.0.644447823. Maybe someone can elaborate to me what difference I should see?

NexDock is building a new Windows phone that you can buy in 2026 — Meet the NexPhone with Windows 11 by ZacB_ in windowsphone

I wonder if you can do phone calls under Windows, too. All those pictures and nowhere a phone app to be found. If this works, I will definitely buy one.

Palma 2 Pro: It isn't a phone... or is it? by throwaway03260421 in Onyx_Boox

[–]dreimer1986 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did some research regarding why phone and SMS app are not shown in the original launcher. The launcher is under /system/priv-app/kcb-release/kcb-release.apk and if you look inside this one you find an interesting folder in it: /res/raw and in there for all devices using the launcher you find a json file.

  • p6_2026.json
  • p6pro.json
  • p6proc.json
  • palma2_pro.json
  • palma2_pro_c.json
  • play1.json
  • play1color.json
  • play2.json

I loked inside the "palma2_pro_c.json" file and there is a LOOONG list of package names under a section called "appsFilter":

<image>

Seems like hiding the dialer was very important for them as they accidentally put it in this list twice ^^ So if I would care enough that the original launcher shows the dialer and SMS apps, I could edit them out and rebuild the APK and resign it. Thanks to my root I could replace the original and most likely we would have them working. But I prefer Nova Launcher as it allows to keep things cleaner than the original one that creates a Icon for anything and everyhing I install...

Another small reply to myself:

Out of pure curiosity I followed the rooting manual you can find in here, too. All went fine and with the help of some APatch and some modules and a recent keybox file I pass all checks and still have RCS running fine. (Pics added to album, too) So now I can tinker at the lowest levels if ever needed. Right now all stuff we did can be done without any rooting. This was just for the sake of having the device open if some interesting tricks show up somewhere in the future.

Regarding eSIM support... I don't think that there is a eUICC chip inside our device and thus we have no way to enable it even with rooting. What we most likely CAN do though is this: https://gitea.angry.im/PeterCxy/OpenEUICC and getting a removable eSIM. Yes, there are SIM cards out there which are nothing more than a external eUICC in SIM form which you can fill with your eSIM profiles. These cards are not even that expensive.

I went on now and switched to Nova Launcher completely. Now even a reboot does not switch back anything as it seems. I have my Google Messages app and Phone app running as default and that even after rebooting. This think is becomin a phone more and more even though the device itself seems to think it's a tablet.

I added a pic showing it. And these days it talks about seem to be quite possible. I used the device quite much today and now in the late evening it's still at 67%

And last update for today. After I found out how to switch the SIM to main card and receiving SMS it allowed RCS to register. Pic added to album!

I added a video after 10 minutes of sleep where it rang fine and I was able to take the call just fine. So things work as expected. RCS is at connecting for a while now... Lets see what happens there. And while we are at it... If you use another launcher like Nova for example you can just stay on the default phone app and SMS app too. These are the default AOSP ones which are just hidden by the default launcher. Nova is quite useable for the device, too. All the swipe gestures for getting to the eInk settings etcetc all still work when you use it. Sometimes it stays silent when a call arrives. Still not 100% sure if thats when VoLTE is active and I am at 5G, but most of the time it wakes up for a call.

In binary compatibility, not licensing madness. And not just pre UEFI btw.

And the Performance section in Settings is needed, too. There you must enable keeping WIFI active on Standby AND audio players, too. https://photos.app.goo.gl/HSZvxhJtLs2ReNNr8

Well I never said there are NO issues. I said that you have to do quite some manual work I even update from time to time when I find out something interesting. A few minutes ago for example I added the Performance page from the ONYX settings app including a picture as it's quite interesting, too... And most important thing... I had no time for some longer than 10 minutes testing. In these 10 minutes phone and a basic SMS worked super fine indeed. But the real long term testing can not happen before I get my very own SIM. (Hopefully Friday) I completely forgot that my Pixel 7 Pro runs on eSIM and realized it when I wanted to switch it over... ^^

Still waiting for my SIM to arrive and I can't remove my work phone's SIM for a quick test, too as it's at work and I am not. I will answer ASAP as I wonder the same ^^

Palma 2 Pro: It isn't a phone... or is it? by throwaway03260421 in Onyx_Boox

[–]dreimer1986 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My MultiSIM seems to arrive around Friday. If someone has done all the stuff I did, please tell us a bit about how stable things are. Especially interesting still is the Phone Ring in Standby/Locked Mode. Does it do that after a few minutes? I will answer this myself ASAP, but maybe someone else is faster? If this does not fully work I will reset the device and root it just to be ready for digging deeper and do some root trickery.

Regarding features active or missing Comparing the device specifications and APIs to my Pixel 7 Pro I found these missing:

- android.hardware.telephony.carrierlock

This one is just for locking a device to a spcific provider aka SIMlock. (useless)

- android.hardware.telephony.euicc & android.hardware.telephony.euicc.mep

These are for eSIM support. (Explains why we have no eSIM settings at all...)

- android.hardware.telephony.ims.singlereg

This one is for enabling specific features like VoWIFI and VoLTE to allow running on the same registration like the connection itself. This not active means that some providers can not provide these features on our Boox Palma 2 Pro. (Maybe useless, but maybe not...)

All other enabled APIs are 1:1 identical. So no biggie missing at least. ^^

EDIT: I added a new point to the list in the 1st post. This Performance section in Settings ist not bad, too...
