]]> iRex iLiad fargo http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=49972 one more function for new contentlister http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=49781&goto=newpost Sat, 27 Jun 2009 14:33:02 GMT Hi all,
I just add a little function to hansel's new contentlister, I add three icon to the toolbar in the main windows at bottom of toolbar near left side three function search/sort/share, the three icon from left to right are implement with:
up one directory when browse in content lister
up to the root directory when browse content lister
shutdown iliad

I just compile it a few month ago, and it modified based on hansel first version contentlister, I don't know whether it will work or brick your iliad after hansel's 1.0.5 version, so install at your own risk.
how to install:
1.you need install hansel 1.0.4 version new contentlister first.
2.untar the package
3.copy all the icon inside the icon folder to /usr/share/pixmaps
4.copy liberipc.so.0.2.0 to /usr/lib/ and check the file permission with 755, important: you need confirm that after copy the old soft link liberipc.so.0 are link to my version of liberipc.so.0.2.0, it should be overwrite with mine, or the new contentlister won't take effect. I just find it still link to the old liberipc.so.0.2.0 after restart, so I decide overwrite the link liberipc.so.0 with the liberipc.so.0.2.0, actually iliad use liberipc.so.0 to work
5.copy newLister to /usr/lib/ overwrite the original one and check the file permission with 755.
6.copy toolbar.xml to /etc/registry/ overwrite the original one.
pls ensure you backup every file that will be overwrite.
My iliad is chinese version, I don't know whether it work or not with european version, but I think it should work, because it modified based on hansel 1.0.1 version.
The attach is screen shot and the file used and the source I modifed.
Try and report here if sucesss or not, then other people can known whether it's useful or not.
With the ipdf/fbreader0.10.2/contentlister that I compiled, I can read doc without press key after power on, everything can be finish with pen.

I looked it over, yeap, the screen was cracked.

It didn't bother too much though because otherwise the iLiad is still useable, well, until today. I noticed the cracked line became thicker than before.

This is worrysome. I bought my iLiad back in late 2007, so the warranty is already over. The crack wasn't due to impact or drop or anything like that, it just appeared in the middle of a reading, all of a sudden.

My question is, will the screen degrade gradually and become completely unusable? Does anyone have any experience on situations like this?

Actually the incident had me wonder if my investment in e-ink devices is unwise. I was looking over Kindle DX the other day, but now I'm scared if such is the common quality of e-ink screen. ]]> iLiad Troubleshooting alanine http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=49001 <![CDATA[Can't see CF when iLiad is connected to PC]]> http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=48980&goto=newpost Sun, 14 Jun 2009 12:12:34 GMT Hi dumb questions, but shoudl I be able to see the CF as a folder when my iLiad is connected to my PC.

Is the only option to remove the CF, connect to the PC and drop all the books into that?

The batteries of my Iliad(v1) died recently(RIP), and the device has reached a point where I don't find reasonable to spend 150eur more on resurrecting it. I know the batteries can be replaced. I have read the threads which show how to do it, and seems doable and while I don't fear to break the device, I would like to give it a try.

The problem is, I don't know where to find suitable batteries without paying outrageus shipping fees(I live on Spain). I have seen some LiPo batteries in dealextreme that seem to fit (like this one), but I'm not sure if the connector its the same or not. If someone could point me to a online store where I could buy them I would be very grateful.
