After steps

If you first time use this rooting method, please run this.

$ adb shell am start -n com.hayaisoftware.launcher/.activities.SearchActivity

After first run, you should install button overlay app or button mapping app, it help to start launcher at next boot time.

I suggest Xposed Additions for this. it can remap buttons and support double and triple click.

And if not remap button using ridibooks viewer, you cannot use back button feature until use another remap tool.

$ adb shell input keyevent 4

Also you can refresh screen manually using epdblk. It should have compatibility with RefreshPie. (But I'm not use this tool anymore)

If you want to bind key, use Tasker and bind shortcut to Xposed Additions

App lists & Tips for 2024

recently (20240714), I updated my paper pro firmware to 1.6.4p with factory reset. stupidly, I didn't backup my apps, it makes more time to ready for reading the book.

1. if you use old version without any problem, you don't need to update support SSL doesn't solve main problem that the device is too old and android version is too low.

   and also, 1.6.4p is not stable. I got a multiple app crashes which didn't get <= 1.5.4 version.

2. you cannot find compatible apps for the kitkat. so many apps were removed from the play store, and also so many web sites of apps were removed.

   wayback machine and f-droid archive could be helpful for solving the problem.

Free apps

• Librera Reader F-Droid; IDK reason, I can't use f-droid built version.
• MiXplorer
• Orion Viewer
• Perfect Viewer; you would need apkmirror
• Ultimate Dynamic Navbar; optional

Non-free apps

if you use UDN or similar approach, probably you don't need this non-free apps. but this chain is still convenience and useful.

• Xposed Additions and pro key; you might need to google or build from source
• Tasker and Tasker App factory

Remove default keyboard

after the setting of the new custom keyboard app, remove or rename com.halbae87.koreanbasicime.apk

adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
mv /system/bin/com.halbae87.koreanbasicime.apk /system/bin/com.halbae87.koreanbasicime.apk.bak
