BOOX Go 6
Customization
Fonts, screensavers, gestures and other tweaks.
Because it is a full Android device, the Go 6 is highly configurable. The catch is that “customization” here means Android settings and BOOX’s own layers on top, not a folder of files.
What you can change
- Fonts in the stock NeoReader app, and in most third-party readers, by adding font files to a folder.
- Gestures and the Navigation Ball — since the Go 6 has no buttons, the floating Navigation Ball and edge-swipe gestures do the work of hardware keys.
- Per-app display behaviour — the optimisation dialog that sets refresh mode, contrast, DPI and animation handling for each app.
- The launcher and home screen — BOOX’s own, or a third-party e-ink launcher from the Play Store.
Start here
- Add your own fonts to the BOOX Go 6 Put TrueType or OpenType fonts in the BOOX fonts folder so the stock NeoReader app can use them, and how third-party apps handle their own.
- Set up the Navigation Ball and gestures on the BOOX Go 6 The Go 6 has no buttons, so the floating Navigation Ball and edge-swipe gestures are how you move around. Here is what to put on them.
- Optimise a single app on the BOOX Go 6 The per-app optimisation dialog controls refresh, contrast, DPI and animations for one app. Here is what each setting does and sensible starting points.
