Hi redditors!

I’ve been a 2.15 user with DDVK hack for some time now, and my experience has been great so far. New rm-hacks repo and 3.8 native features are tempting though.

I wanted to test the upgrade while beeing able to revert to 2.15 in case I don’t like the new experience. I know the switch.sh script. My issue is the following : in 2.15, the only version I can update to seems to be 3.04, and not directly 3.8. However, if the update goes in two steps (2.15 -> 3.04, then 3.04 -> 3.8), I believe the 2.15 partition will be wiped by the two steps process, am I correct ? Then, how to upgrade to 3.8 and keeping the ability to revert back ?

Thanks for your help

​

Edit : Currently, one partition is on 2.15, the other one in 3.3

    What feature are you afraid of losing? One thing I can already tell you: the new way of adding pages is…. different. I’m used to it now, but I know a lot of people struggle with that.

    With rmHacks, I’m missing no features from DDVK being on 3.8

      I think I’m loosing the ability to switch between documents with finger swipe and bookmarks, which I found myself using really often. Last time I checked, I hated infinite scrolling, so not sure about that. And, I’m not sure that I’ll be able to get used to the new page button…

        I don’t use infinite scrolling. The only drawback is the “+” button when swiping left to add a new page.

        Switching between documents can still be done with a 2-finger swipe from the top to switch between recent documents. I forgot how ddvk handled that, but I find this current way an ok workflow for me :)

          Thank you for the insight! It’s really tempting. Do you know how I should proceed to update to 3.8 and to keep the possibility to roll back if I don’t like it ?
