Or, since these are very small files any HexEditor can be used to remove the "0B" hex (the carriage return)s from the file. Luck; Ken |

Slightly improved reboot.sh
(with reboot screen) Code:
#!/bin/sh zcat /etc/images/reboot.raw.gz | /usr/local/Kobo/pickel showpic /bin/busybox reboot Where I can find good "power off" standard picture? For now I can see it in my kobo (spleepy ebook + "Powered off" text). But I don't understand where I can find it??? I looked into /etc/images but nothing... The problem that Kobo Touch, Kobo Glo and Kobo Aura have different screen resolutions and we can't make single custom "power off" picture. Last edited by sergeyvl12; 08-23-2013 at 09:30 AM. |

thank you so much guys: however I use Crimson editor, and generally it does not add carriage returns, and at any rate with the hex editor no carriage returns are showing in the file.
I don't know why, but the "power off" entry in the kobolauncher never did anything for me, otherwise I would use that one: if I press on it, nothing happens. EDIT: The kobo_launcher.ini file looks like this Code:
Chess = pbchess-1.2.5/pbchess
Checkers = checkers/checkers
Sokoban = sokoban/sokoban
Reversi = reversi/reversi
Gomoku = gomoku/gomoku
Notepad = notepad/notepad
Calculator = calculator/calculator
usbnet = usbnet/start.sh
Power off = poweroff
Code:
#!/bin/sh /bin/busybox poweroff Last edited by paola; 08-23-2013 at 02:31 PM. |

is it possible firmware version 2.6.2 has broken filesmonitor? The icons just don't call the programme anymore. Kobolauncher works fine, though, but I have to launch it from the Tweaks.

it means that you have to copy the file "KoboRoot.tgz" in the .kobo subdirectory of your device. Then eject the device and disconnect it, and you will see the device "updating", and eventually restarting. Better to do this with your device charged up. Also, do make sure you copy the file in the .kobo subdirectory - otherwise (as with all hacks) you risk bricking it (it happened to me..), i.e. making your device unusable. To fix this may require opening your device and replacing the internal SD card (assuming your device has one), which many people don't like to do, as not doing it properly (e.g. if you happen to break one of the plastic thingy holding the device together) will show the device has been open and void your warranty.

I have attempted to install fmon by:
- Syncing to the latest Aura HD software version. 2.10 - Copy KoboRoot.tgz to .kobo - Restart the device At the previous version I had succesfully installed Launcher. Now all I see is a 'restart' animation. (5 boxes, going from white to black) Anyone has a suggestion to surpass this problem? It really seems the animation is 'on top' of the normal interface. Overriding it. This post helped me to do a factory reset on the Aura HD. https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...44&postcount=4 I'll attempt to do a reinstall of the fmon software, don't mind some tips. [It worked] Last edited by Skinkie; 11-29-2013 at 12:29 PM. |

Files Monitor : Indirect triggering possibility?
Can the fmon "daemon" be triggered if the png file is accessed indirectly?
For example, an HTML page containing hyperlinks to various png's (or even inline png's in an HTML page that the browser needs to fetch and render)...? This could be an easy way to build menus for different fmon-based actions. |
