I see, it is still listed under "Tweaks for non-rooted devices" on https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/PRST...#Database_hack.

Speaking about reboot, there seems to be different ways of booting. I don't have enough insight, but I also experienced this issue, that the reader did not pick up the sd-card rescue set. Only when I managed to bring it to a complete halt (power off) and then coldboot, it worked. Could it be, that the bootloader (I guess, that's the authority, which triggers the update from sd) only gets active at coldboot but not reboot? Did you try pressing reset and power button at the same time and hold? (like described here), that did the trick for me. |

I also tried this method. I could power the T1 off. It didn't change anything :-( I think I will have to send the device to Sony. |

What I really find stunning is the fact, that the bootloader seems to not pick up the trigger for update from sd. But how on earth is it possible to damage the bootloader from the system side?
wiki is updated. |

The reason why it looks like top portion of the home screen (and sometimes standby screen) is working is also rather simple - when book is selected via home page existing code updates last reading time in the database. When book is launched from book lists (content manager) - last reading time is not updated at all. During reboot (or when book is opened in the stock reader) standby screen is reconstructed on the fly from last reading time (there is no file to write). So you will see some really inconsistent screen saver behavior (applicable for "new" icon too). I also have content manager (EbookContentManager.apk) which properly understands FB2 format (thumbnails and meta information) so maybe we should combine the efforts somewhat? |

By updating the last read time whenever a book is launched from the screen or content manager, things should work most of the time for any reader as long as the home screen and content manager are the primary ways of browsing books. It's not perfect, but I think it's better than not supporting third party readers (that haven't been modified to support the Sony books db) at all I would love to take a look at that content manager of yours! Does it work with the Sony Reader PC software as well? I haven't even begun working with the content related ideas, but it would be nice to bring FB2 support to wherever it is possible |

On the other hand adding such notification in every place where book could be launched (both in Home and in Content Manager) although certainly possible will cause multiple overlapping operations which are quite expensive... From what I now there are 2 major FB2 readers on Android - both are free and easily modifiable. My code (in case of success) would be freely available from sourceforge, and the changes are quite simple. So I really see no reason not to hope that it can be done "the right way" Quote:

By the way settings module remembers path to the last book it used to setup standby screen - so it should be safe to call it multiple times for the same book. So after last reading time is properly set - you just need to do Intent intent = new Intent("android.intent.action.book_selected"); sendBroadcast(intent); to update standby picture from home page.
