3.0 out of beta

[StaffanBetner]

3.0 is now slowly rolling out. The version number is 3.0.4.1305.

[ddvk]

it may take a while

[zelomel]

Hi,

I didn't test this new version. What is better than the old version with DDVK hacks? What is missing compared to the hacked version?

I'm afraid to miss ddvk hacks!

[brandonkboswell]

@zelomel I'm writing a video on just that right now, but I did an initial impressions video when the beta came out if you're curious. https://youtu.be/xPEqzmU5-xg

[Tridens92]

@brandonkboswell , thanks for your video above. Hadn't discovered your channel and just subscribed!

Question: what happens when you 1) save your document as PDF and 2) print your document when you've extended the page with the infinite feature?

Thanks!

P.S. Fellow lefty here who HATES that close button in the upper left corner! Written to rM several times to no avail.

It renders at 1:1. So it will have the width of a typical sheet, but then has variable height (with a minimum of your typical sheet size). From there you can decide in your print driver how to deal with it.

Maybe one day they will let us lefties have our menus open ;)

Same!

I wish there was a way on the ddvk left handed layout to move the the bookmark feature away from the top left corner. I keep hitting it every time by accident.

[Tridens92]

I end up needing to toggle off the bookmark feature for this reason. Would love it if the bookmark icon could move to the middle of the upper edge.

[brandonkboswell]

@Tridens92 I ended up doing the exact same ^^

[IamGianluca]

Yeah, maybe that's something we can suggest to @ddvk to change in future releases.

[katiebobus]

1) Would love to toggle on/off the new infinite scroll feature. I keep accidentally resizing and it's a PITA to readjust.

2) The text tool option is cool but clunky. Moving around text would rule, but maybe more feasible just to open up the margins of where you can start text? It seems limited to an inch from the left margin, and imprecise placement. Not sure what else to suggest for a hack. It also seems to force you to reuse the same text field on a page, so writing in columns, e.g., requires using a ton of spaces. Unless I'm not doing it right. Judy looking to start a convo on text feature bugginess and ideas for improvement.

3) @ddvk THANK YOU FOREVER AND ALWAYS!! your work makes mine so much more efficient!

[fatalkarma100]

Sorry for the excessive email requests and really appreciate your efforts, will await.

[ddvk]

sorry for the delay, just holidays and stuff. i'll try to find time this week.

[dstango]

great, thanks! My rm updated today to SW v3, though I (thought I) had disabled automatic updates... Don't know if I did something wrong, or if v3 might be somewhat forced?!?

[Eeems]

Just switch back and disable automatic updates. https://github.com/ddvk/remarkable-update#to-switch-the-partition-ie-boot-the-previous-version

A huge thanks for your work! The DDVK hack makes a huge difference. It actually helped me to finally start using my reMarkable 1 in all areas of my life and to properly enjoy it.  I'm happy to wait. I'll rather stick with the 2.x version than lose all the hack functionalities.

[ddvk]

So I did play with the new version (which I kind of hate), the Adjust View missing being a major show stopper. I find the zoom/pan, infinite canvas thing laggy.

I agree with you.

[burgessa23]

@ddvk have you looked into the 3.x changes yet to know where contributions might help?

[RhvdG]

So I did play with the new version (which I kind of hate), the Adjust View missing being a major show stopper.

Thanks for the warning, I did not know this essential feature went missing. The reMarkable website suggests otherwise. I'll put off updating to 3.0 until there is a hack that fixes this.

I'd also very much like to be able to turn off enlarging ('infinite') pages. This silly feature breaks the notebook concept and I wouldn't want to accidentally trigger it.

Having said that, fast tool switching and bookmarks alone would suffice to make me reinstall the hacks on 3.x, once available. Thanks, @ddvk!

[ai212983]

The reMarkable website suggests otherwise.

It is explicitly stated on reMarkable website:

Adjust view is only available for PDFs.

[RhvdG]

I'm still on version 2, and Adjust View is available only for PDFs there as well. Am I missing the point?

[ddvk]

I'll check whether 3.10 is any better. right now you have to zoom a pdf with pinch in order to adjust the view, and it being laggy is cumbersome.

[regrubtaf]

Not much better in 3.1.1.11415. It's bit less laggy, but essentially the same function as 3.0.

[martin-braun]

Guess I will hold back before making that update. Personally I would only care for the hacks if v3 is as snappy as v2, but I get why people don't want to downgrade to v2.

[Gaibhne]

@ddvk thank you so very much for putting your time and effort in, especially if you yourself don't even like the new update! I just unthinkingly started to update, and while waiting went to download this hack only to realize JUST in time that it wasn't ready for 3.0 and managed to stop the update! Would it still be possible to 'downgrade' these days if I wanted to check out the 3.0 update, but then go back to 2.15 with ddvk-hack ? Because I'm quite certain I prefer the old version + hack to the new version, but I am curious to test it. I believe long ago it was possible to run your own fake 'update server' in order to downgrade, but I don't remember the details of what I did.

[ddvk]

you can downgrade, but any documents you open on 3.x will be converted and not be usable when you revert to 2.x .

you can use the switch.sh script in the update repo to go back to the previous version

[katiebobus]

Holy crap, really? Any you open? Will they be accessible again once you do go back to v3 (when ddvk hacks are available)?

I don't want to lose docs, but I am fed up with v3 turning all my pages into infinity scroll without asking first. It's way too easy to initiate that, and then you can't get the original page to ever realign correctly. From the thumbnail view, pages with additional space, even if unused, show up scrolled to the top. It's not an option to prevent the added space OR to reset the original page size once it's been created, even if blank.

Actually, that doesn't surprise me. That is pretty typical when a file format changes. When you are running 3.x, the device expects the file to follow the new file format. If it is an older file format, it will convert it (on the fly) to the latest version and then resave it so it doesn't need to convert it again. You typically should never be "rolling" back to an older version (in the companies eyes that is.) Again, this is all pretty typical when going from one major version of software to another.

I am sure that if you open a 2.x file with V3 of the software, and then "roll-back" the device to V2, when you roll the device forward to V3 again the V3 converted file will be fine. Now, that being said, I did not test it (I don't want to risk mucking any of my files, sorry!)

I would be VERY nervous about going BACK to a older MAJOR version though, as it won't know how to handle a file with a newer version number (again, how could it know about the future.) If you try opening a V3 file with V2 of the software, it MAY not do anything worse then tell you it can't open the file, or wors, it could TRY to open the file, mis-interpret it because it is an newer file version then it knows how to work with, and then corrupt the file. Hopefully they wrote the firmware to do the former, not the latter.

I think for your sanity, I would not try and go back and forth between MAJOR software versions of the firmware on the device (V2<->V3). I am pretty sure if you get a corrupted file from doing that, rM support would be well within their rights to tell you that what you did is NOT supported.

Just my .02 of course.

[ddvk]

that's correct, going to 3.x again you can open the files without data loss.

[katiebobus]

Thanks for confirming!

What a disaster!!! I would love to test the new version, but I am not upgrading until the ddvk is ready.

I think it would be great a switch to activate or deactivate this page enlargement according to the doc you are using.

Best regards!

[StaffanBetner]

@ddvk Any progress?

[regrubtaf]

Not sure if if @ddvk was waiting for the stable version of 3.1 to get released to update the hack, but I see that rM has moved right to a 3.2 beta, so I don't know if 3.1 is ever getting widely released. Link to 3.2 beta release notes below. https://support.remarkable.com/s/article/Overview-of-beta-software-releases

[martin-braun]

@regrubtaf I rather think the challenge is very huge, since a lot within the code base has changed. This man needs more time to do it.

[regrubtaf]

Certainly. Didn't mean to come off as impatient. I was just concerned that, if he was working on 3.1, it's already become obsolete.

[martin-braun]

@regrubtaf Great point. Out of reflection from the past I can say that porting the hack to a new minor version is not that troublesome probably. In the past @ddvk skipped some minor versions in quick session if necessary, so I'm confident that he already considers it.

I hope he can give an update soon on how it went so far.

[dansbandit]

Version 3.2.2.1581 seems to be the stable v3 now.

[MtbGot]

Hello guys!

Any news? THANK YOU!!

[folofjc]

I got the type folio which requires v3. Now I have to decide if I want to type (and lose @ddvk's hacks) or have the better interface (with @ddvk) but not be able to use the keyboard :/

EDIT: Nevermind, I just saw the switch.sh script, so I am able to go back and forth between 3.2.3 and 2.15.1 as long as I do not open the same notebooks 😎

[folofjc]

Version 3.2.2.1581 seems to be the stable v3 now.

3.2.3.1595 Looks to be the stable v3 now.

[twisted-nematic57]

The updates just keep coming!

Also it's fine @ddvk, we can wait. Take your time. 👍

Hi folks, do anybody know something about the projct? has @ddvk closed it? Or is there any hope of new Version

[Eeems]

Since the repository isn't archived, the project isn't closed. Same update as before, ddvk hasn't gotten to it yet.

[martin-braun]

@Eeems I'm ready to stuck on version 2 for the rest of this device's life time. 💀

So, in contrast, things can only improve and if not, then I'm not getting a bad surprise.

[fatalkarma100]

Typing on desktop app into rm file is game changer for online meetings. Don’t have to look down to write while online mtg. Otherwise I’d rather have 2.5 with hacks back.

Kind Regards,

Don Hahn

@ddvk -No worries on timing. Thankfully, v.2.15 is a decent and stable version to stick with for as long as necessary.

[pstemper]

Agreed! In fact, it is probably good as there have been so many 3.x releases that always having to patch them and update would have take more time in the long run! I always wish I could help, but at least I can donate $$ for all the hard work you have done!

Thanks @ddvk !!!

Any timeline to do this @ddvk and thanks for your great work?
