CrossNext v1.1.0 — First public release · Xteink X4 Pro

This is the first public release of CrossNext for Xteink X4 Pro: reading,
study tools, games and a companion that grows as you read.

Required microSD contents: PET, Reading Quest and The Intercept need
CrossNext-Resources.zip from this release. Install the firmware and extract
the resource ZIP's contents to the microSD root. These apps will not start
without their complete, compatible resource folders. Firmware updates do
not install these contents automatically.

Included in this release

  • Reading and customization: EPUB, text, Markdown and XTC/XTCH support,
    a cover library, adjustable fonts and reading controls.
  • Study and progress: dictionaries, saved vocabulary, flashcards, reading
    history and statistics.
  • PET, your reading companion: choose an egg, adjust the difficulty and
    daily reading goal, care for your companion, play minigames and decorate its
    home. Place and remove decorations freely, and revisit its life stages,
    memories and previous generations in the album.
  • Games and reading adventures: Reading Quest, The Intercept and other
    games available from the app shelf.
  • English and Spanish: interface and PET text available in both languages.

Installation

  1. Follow the X4 Pro installation guide
    and choose the firmware file for your installation method from the table below.
  2. Power off the reader before removing the microSD. Extract
    CrossNext-Resources.zip on your computer and copy everything inside it
    to the root of the microSD, merging existing folders. The card must contain
    /apps/pet/, /apps/reading-adventure/ and /apps/intercept/ directly.
    Do not leave the ZIP unextracted or add a surrounding CrossNext-Resources/
    or resources/ folder.
  3. Keep the included licence notices. The package also provides optional fonts
    and dictionaries. When updating an existing card, preserve your books and
    /.crosspoint/, which contains saved data and settings; formatting is not
    required.
  4. Reinsert the card, restart and check that About shows 1.1.0.

If one of these apps shows a missing-content notice, copy its complete folder
from this release's resource ZIP and restart. See the
microSD contents guide.
