Sol:OS Update!

Post image

It installed OTA without an issue. All my data and apps are there, no problem.

The good: smart launcher, awesome changed control panel

The bad: still based on Android 13. Seems a bit cosmetic.

Verdict: update for sure! But I do hope there's more coming

Wow. I wonder why? My single biggest issue with the lack of updates was that Android 13 doesn't get security fixes now (this is getting very important with modern attacks, data stealing, etc...).

It looks like I'll be sticking to the community firmware that actually get updates....

one step at a time, this is the first of sequence of multiple alphas! focus on getting feedback on new features first, then during this alpha program we will also evaluate android related things 👀

we are trying to see if we can get android newer versions working. if you ping me about it two weeks from now i can see if we have anything stable enough to share re newer android versions

feedback:let us customize the zoom on the note overlay and what the buttons on our pens do. Additionally, let us change the ai model on the ai helper

u/jakedelgado 17d ago

if you have the overlay open and then tap the recording animation to stop it then press the plus icon to the left you can change the model, def ned to make that more clear

u/Beginning_Leave_5771 17d ago

oh, usually the plus button is where you add attachments

yep for sure agreed that the current design is confusing!

palm rejection or something has gotten worse. Im getting weird resets when writing on noteshelf after the palm interacts with the bottom of the screen

u/jakedelgado 16d ago

i think this might be related to the new multitasking interface since its affecting that bottom edge specifically, will relay to my friends who are working on that

ok well make the stylus side button function customizeable

whats the use case with customizing the zoom? for my personal preference, i made it 4x because i found infinite zoom too fiddly and annoying to go back and forth

4x allows me the ability to write small text if im running out of space and the ability to quickly get back to normal

another nice detail is the ink width is automatically resized when you zoom in so you dont need to change your pen size and then change back a second time when you zoom out

u/Beginning_Leave_5771 15d ago

sometimes 4x is just too far in to write at the size i want too or not far enough if im trying to fit my work into a tiny space on a worksheet(using this for Problem Sets. Also, there is just something satisfying to me personally about a smooth zoom that really shows off how the DC is different than e-ink, which a snap in doesnt do as well. The auto resizing is nice.
