order of operations - a comment on the Russification hack
So I bit the bullet a couple of weekends ago and Russified my PRS-600. Not for the language of course -- for the clock! It didn't take me long to notice, however that the page turns tended to lag a bit -- sometimes.
I'm a bit picky on refresh rates and the -600 was the first E-ink screen I could tolerate, so I wasn't sure if I was being overly sensitive (in a rush), or if it really had changed . . . so I started paging through. To my frustration, each time I tried to catch it lagging, it behaved just fine. after a while I discovered it that only the first page lagged. If I did more soon after, no problem. then I noticed this: I took this movie above to show a distinct order of operation *if* the book has been sitting more than a minuet. 1: a depress 2: the clock updates 3: the text updates Ah-Ha! so there's the lag! Oh Crud! It's WAY beyond my skill to fix it. And so, I submit to the PRS hackers and Linux gurus, is there a way to switch the order so the clock updates after the text refreshes? Dan <>< |

Interesting... I would like the clock, but it's just not worth it to me..... On the other hand the clock and the button page turns have been tempting.....
Because of the way an eInk screen operates the clock would never change if you didn't turn a page..... |

That's exactly what I would do it for, the clock! But I also don't think it's worth messing up my reader. I have to think about this very carefully.

I did the russification last weekend, and using the boroda 1.05b version was almost to easy. It has an installer. I really love the clock display which I got used to on my 505.
And there's also the screenshot-function that comes in handy sometimes. Cole, if you like to mess around with gadgets, then go for it. If you're more afraid of bricking the reader, then an external clock is probably better. If you want more information on my experience about flashing let me know or look around for my other posts about russification. Take care |
