Debloating

The Boox Launcher called apk=com.onyx does not have a regular settings menu, you need to install an alternative launcher (e.g. aio launcher) to access it. If you accessed it go onward.

  1. Go to Apps > Menu > App Management and activate USB debugging
  2. Make sure you have ADB installed on your computer
  3. Connect the e-reader to your computer
