@gong: Great . Still not quite sure of the exact amount of pixels hidden by the bezel, but at least we're closer to something exact .

Gong and NiLuJe, thank for your help and all the work you have done!I think for the present purpose the values are sufficiently close. How about a compromise of settling for 11 pixels? This would be somehow in tune with the H2O.

I guess the exact perfect settings for the Aura viewport will vary between units. For the record, my settings, with KSM 04+, are:
Code:
ksmGeometryValuesN=753x1007+1+3 ksmGeometryValuesS=753x1007+4+14 ksmGeometryValuesE=1007x753+14+1 ksmGeometryValuesW=1007x753+3+4 |

@tshering
Hey! You're doing the best you can, so anyone can tell you when you have to upload a new version. Thanks for your interest on improvement our kobo experience! |

The potentially per-device variance is what I'm hoping a nickel fbgrab would shed some light on, but that may just be pipe dreaming on my part... :}.

I doubt it. That would mean that nickel had been calibrated for each unit specifically. This is a purely physical issue, there's no way the software can know about it without an explicit setting. I guess the Kobo way to deal with this is simply setting large enough margins.

@Jellby: Possibly, which is what I'd like to confirm. Since the same was said of the H2O, while it's in fact very much a strict 11 pixels for everyone on those .

I did get some screenshots with fbgrab some time ago, and if I remember correctly they were 1024x758, and showed the edges that are covered by the bezel (and you can actually peek under it and see the screen). I know this is not a definitive answer, but I'm just giving another clue

Setting up a factory reset device
Today I decided to update my Kobo Touch C to FW 3.13.1 via wifi by using KSM's "kobo FW update.msh". Unfortunately, the update process did never finish, white screen and green blinking led for ages. I finally triggered a factory reset.
Since there are several ways to set up one's device, I describe how I did it for further reference in form of a how-to-do. Spoiler:
On a side note: I tried again to install 3.13.1 via wifi by "kobo FW update.msh". This time it worked without any problem. Why it did not work the first time, I do not know. Presumably, the cause was something in the "history" of the device. Last edited by tshering; 10-29-2015 at 04:40 AM. |

Incremental patches could serve those who already installed KSM and don't want to download full installation. In my opinion that would be more comfortable version for new users. |

I think it's great that tshering is willing to create patches and scripts to address problems and preferences that users feel need addressing, even if they may only apply to a few, even though they are not something I need. What you are suggesting might complicate that. Luck; Ken |

Not necessarily. I don't know what development tool tshering uses, but probably he have complete latest version and also needs to keep changed files for incremental patches.
The biggest problem might be for him to upload full versions, as they a bit big (it depends what internet connection he has). And, certainly tshering does great job, not just with his KSM as software, but with his really excellent support to us users of KSM. |

This works well! That said, is there any way to make the device boot straight to Nickel and launch Start Menu from Nickel?
