rmHacks Manual Install Guide
Disclaimer: This guide was not written by a developer, just another Xovi user.
This guide assumes a blank slate, and that you haven't already tried installing xovi. If you have, and want to follow this guide, you should first clean up your first attempt by running (on your reMarkable over SSH): rm -rf ~/xovi.
(Currently abbreviated steps. Feel free to ask GreySim for help installing if needed. Use @GreySim to get attention, please do not direct message.)
Download Xovi
Get the latest release available from: https://github.com/asivery/rm-xovi-extensions/releases
If you're on a reMarkable Paper Pro, get extensions-aarch64.zip.
If you're on a reMarkable 1 or 2, get extensions-arm32-testing.zip.
Unzip the files on your computer.
Using SCP (either the scp command, WinSCP, Cyberduck, or whatever SCP app works for you) transfer install-xovi-for-rm and qt-resource-rebuilder.so to /home/root on your reMarkable.
For example (from the directory you unzipped the files to):
scp install-xovi-for-rm qt-resource-rebuilder.so [email protected]:/home/root
Install Xovi
SSH into your reMarkable. Run:
chmod +x install-xovi-for-rm
./install-xovi-for-rm
mv qt-resource-rebuilder.so xovi/extensions.d
mkdir xovi/exthome/qt-resource-rebuilder
xovi/rebuild_hashtable
The last command in particular could take a minute or two, and it's not ready until you see the command prompt again.
