remarkable2-framebuffer VS remarkable-stylus

Looks like rm2fb is now installed by default: https://github.com/ddvk/remarkable2-framebuffer/issues/90

We can currently hook into it, but only to obtain the framebuffer or send updates ourselves. 3rd party mods use remarkable-framebuffer which does the injection and easily enables 3rd party community apps/mods to use the screen.

Is is safe? there are issues like this or this

Instructions here, at the end of the "Configuration" section. Please not, however, that these settings were only added to the rm2fb repo 11 hours ago (commit). So again, best to check that up-to-date settings exist before upgrading your firmware.

Have you installed rm2fb? https://github.com/ddvk/remarkable2-framebuffer

This seems to have updated all the installed components. In particular, rm2fb is now on the latest release which, if I'm understanding correctly, supports 2.9. ("Support for release 2.9.0.210")

At least with the ddvk method, you just select the "erase selection" tool normally (then switch back to the pen), and the button then activates whatever eraser tool is selected.

You lose the secondary button which is on the All-star EMR pen, which with this hack can be used for handy erasing https://github.com/ddvk/remarkable-stylus

https://github.com/ddvk/remarkable-stylus - enables the eraser button on Lamy and Samsung EMR pens.

If you use this hack, a short press of the button switches between the two most recent pens. The stylus must be close to the screen but not currently writting.
