Flashed TernOS, but nothing happens and stuck at homepage #3

Hi there,

I flashed TernOS on my XTEink X4, reading from the website at https://ternreader.org/ , an EPUB reader should come preinstalled and, should one need more apps, one could put ".prc" files under /install/ .

Now I tried flashing both directly from https://ternreader.org/ as well as from https://crosspointreader.com/debug after downloading ternfull-v0.4.0.bin from https://github.com/azw413/TernOS/releases/tag/v0.4.0 .

The problem is that in both cases TernOS remains stuck at the homepage, here is what I get:

I can flash back to other firmwares just fine, they also work correctly (tried stock and Crosspoint).

Sometimes when I press the second button of the bottom row I see an "About" dialog.

I tried putting a sample app in /install/ inside the SD card and after starting again it said something among the lines of "1 Installed".

But the problem is, I still get the empty home from the screenshot above.

Could I ask if I am doing something wrong? Should I manually install something specific or run a specific button combination to get a menu?

I tried also reading some of the docs at https://github.com/azw413/TernOS/tree/main/docs but so far they all look dev-focused docs. Also tried the "Button guide" in the README https://github.com/azw413/TernOS#button-guide but so far they don't seem to work, no menu to read or similar appears.

Any tips?

Thank you for writing TernOS! It looks really promising and I can't wait to try it.
