I agree it doesn’t look that good, which is why I was using pixelated fonts before so I can hide the pixelated look.
There are definitely e-ink modes that just refresh content in the screen slower without doing the black flashes at all, but the only e-ink mode the phone is utilizing is Gamma mode for the system and Mudita apps. Excluding the Reading mode for E-reader.
In the road-map it says 2026 for e-ink modes, but who know when that will come. I’m not waiting a year for a feature 
Things are moving ridiculously slow indeed 
Any other cool features to look forward to or is this update just mainly for bug fixes etc.
@jdot Mostly bugfixes/ui changes and performance improvments.
v0.3 Released
# Changelog inkOS v0.3 - 03 October 20225
## Home & Appdrawer
- Performance Improvements: Better caching for faster loading of pages.
- Added Y-offset option in Home settings so u can move the app list lower.
## Brightness Gesture/Action
- Removed minimum brightness threshold (was 25/255); gestures can now set front light to true minimum.
## Clock/Date
- Fixed bug where old preferences were saved when only alarm/calendar actions were available for clock widget.
## Volume Navigation
- Fixed: Volume navigation buttons stopped working after adding a new app, swiping, or keypad up/down presses on keypad phones.
- Added: Volume navigation is disabled when AudioWidget detects audio playing, allowing volume changes without opening the app. If audio is paused/stopped, page navigation with volume keys works as usual (if enabled in Settings / Extras).
## Home Screen & Widgets
- Changed home screen app navigation dpad logic: can now move to previous page using dpad app.
- Widgets are no longer focusable (keypad shortcuts 2,6,7,8 access widgets).
- Added simple vibration feedback for long-press to go to settings and for Set Home App function.
## Notification Window & Settings
- Long-pressing Dismiss button now dismisses all notifications.
- Changed solid separators to dashed separators for less visual distraction.
- Limited notification title to one line to prevent layout breakage.
- Notification allowlists: Hidden apps can now be set; fixed bug where Home Notification Allowlist package list did not update.
## App Drawer
- Swiping left or right in App Drawer now goes back (only from edges to avoid diagonal swipe conflict).
- Fixed page miscalculation after renaming, hiding, showing, or uninstalling an app; pages now update properly without reopening App Drawer.
## Notifications Screen
- Swiping left or right goes back (only from edges).
## Extras Screen
- Added "Privacy" shortcut in Extras / System shortcuts for quick camera access (for Mudita Kompakt).
- Renamed "E-ink Quality Mode / E-ink mode" to "E-ink Auto Mode".
## Settings
- Replaced full-line separators with dashed separators for better focus on text.
- Added donation link in Settings.
As always:
Backup your current settings in Settings / Advanced / Backup. before you install v0.3
If you’re happy with the current setup you don’t need to update 
Later I might show some sneak peeks for. the next version that might have some cooler features.
It’s perfect. But I expected nothing less from you 
Thank you! If you find any bugs let me know, there’s always things that escape me or people that test it
Hi Gezimos, I have a problem:
I set the background to black in the settings and now everything is black and I can’t see anything. Is there a way out of this?
@davidsg Unless you can guess where the buttons are in the dark you have these solutions;
using web adb:
pm clear app.inkos
using normal adb
adb shell pm clear app.inkos
This will clear the data from the app so it will reset to “onboarding” and you can start from scratch.
Or you can re-enable mudita launcher, uninstall inkos and install it again. But the above commands are easier to do since you already know how to use them I believe 
p.s I’m gonna have to add a condition in the code to stop people form making the background and text color the same 
Thank you for your quick message! that helps!
i made it with Web-Adb.
This feature is only on v0.3 onwards.
Just a screenshot of what Y offset means. You don’t have to use “empty apps” if you want to move the apps lower. A feature requested mostly for users that like using only 1 page
@davidsg glad you sorted it out
@gezimos home screen app names seem to be in bold by default (switching to not-bold with asterisk with notifications) no matter the font i’m setting. Is there a way to invert this?
@wander What font are u using? U need to download fonts that are not variable weights.
For example you can get Plus Jakarta Sans variable that has all the weights in it. In inkOS you have no control with weights, so it’s showing you the weight it default to.
You need to download the ttf or oft or the correct weight u want to use: Plus Jakarta Sans Regular
Great wallpapers THANKS !!!
I love the steampunk ones, specially this one.
I`ll need to try some fonts yet.
Just what I need. THANKS !!!
I’m glad you like them More are on the way, with new themes too.
That steampunk wallpaper would go nice with some art-deco fonts
Try a more extravagant one for the clock and a more legible one for the apps.
Thank you for fixing volume navigation and adding Y offset for home! (I’ve ran into date tap not working again… and then learned from someone else’s post here that it is because of empty space, so was waiting for this)
Honestly the launcher works perfectly for me as is now. But I’m still curious to see what’s coming next
No worries, there was actually a bug with the date, so I fixed that instead. And yes when that user reported the issue was due to empty spaces I thought about you but wasn’t sure if you had the same issue.
I’m glad it’s working perfectly for you! Next, I’m trying to make some mini apps integrated in inkOS. Like Calculator, Timers, Notes etc. I want to have simple apps to replace the default ones that have logs or lack the functionality that I want.
Also Thanks for the donation! Just noticed it while writing this
Hey @gezimos, could you show us how to disable the app drawer from the homescreen ?
