Papyrix for X3

[hoanglyst]

Hello,
Papyrix is good.
Could you make version for X3?
Thank you so much.

@hoanglyst I'm planning to add X3 support, but I just don't have a device right now, and developing blindly isn't a good idea.

I second this request. Just received the device and about to flash Crosspoint reader for X3. Though Crosspoint-Reader is not my main firmware due to lacking essential user's fonts support. Papyrix is better here (and generally the UI is cleaner)

I'm looking forward to a version for the X3.

I also have x3 and it would be great to see Papyrix on that

I also received my X3, now I'm wondering if I should have ordered it. Due to hardware limitations, its refresh rate is 4 times lower, which is clearly noticeable when changing pages, but I'm still adapting papiryx to it.

Haven't tried it yet. But Crosspoint works OK, I didn't notice any significant delays.

...though with the latest news from Xteink, it is unclear if they keep the devices opened for installing alternative open-source firmware. If not, that instantly kills the advantage of Xteink as a company...

Quick googling revealed Lilygo T5 E-Paper S3 Pro Lite device, which slightly bigger (iPhone size) but with warm backlite and touch screen. The device uses which appears to be the same esp32-s3 platform. Considering all of the above it looks like an ideal companion e-reader.
I've ordered one, gonna try to port Crosspoint or Papyrix to this device (though I'm not a coder, so, will be using AI for that task).

The X3 display is fundamentally ~90ms slower than X4 per page turn due to the 10 MHz SPI constraint
(two 52KB transfers at 10 MHz = ~84ms vs ~24ms at 40 MHz on X4)

@hoanglyst @marczykm @SkyWheel added in 1.21.0

I just flashed the latest version on my new X3 since Papyrix seems to be the only firmware with proper arabic language support.
It seems that everything is working properly, I don't notice any of the slowness you are talking about, but I also don't have an X4 to compare it with.
Thank you very much for your effort

I noticed that the battery indicator on the home screen has a different value than the one in system info and the reading screen status bar, on the home screen it's 91% but in the others it's 100%

@YouHusam - thanks, check it.
