yoq you are THE MAN! Thanks so much for your efforts. This hack is the primary reason I have switched to the Kobo Aura (non hd) over the paperwhite! Thanks again I know what its like to work on this sort of stuff and get angry people moaning about it not working that either don't realize you don't work for Kobo or are just extremely high up on their throne of our first world country living as an everyday king.

And now that I have a decent implementation for software inverting, the bug @RobertJSawyer mentioned should also be gone.

There is no need to upgrade for owners of other models than the non-HD Aura, no changes here.

If I understood you correctly, the patch have to work on non-HD Aura, i´ve installed the patch, and it doesn´t work on FW 3.1.1, i´ve a bootloop now.

I have made a factory reset, and use the testpatch from Post #269!

Same here... bootloop, had to do a factory reset. Tried it twice...

I've got the bootloop, too, on my Kobo Aura (non-HD) with Firmware 3.1.1.

BUILD 10 IS NOT SAFE FOR KOBO AURA WITH FIRMWARE 3.1.1. DO NOT INSTALL.

How do I break out of the bootloop? Pinhole reset did not do it for me. HELP, please?

Frankly I don't know exactly... didn't work for me either a few times, I tried attaching it to the computer, repushing it... pushing it together with power button, light button... in the end at some point it worked. So, just try it all

In another thread DNSB suggested this:
You will need to do a factory reset -- hold the power button for 15-20 seconds to turn it off, hold down the light switch and power it on. When the LED inside the power switch starts flashing rapidly, you can release the light switch. Alternate, is to hold the light switch, press and release the pin reset switch and then wait for the disco light before releasing the light switch.

Push the light button, hold them down, and slide the power on bottom and hold them, after a few seconds you make a reset, and you can install the FW again!

I'm really sorry guys, this shouldn't have happened, I hope you didn't loose anything important.

I will do more testing and report back.

I forgive you

yoq, no problem! David's tip for resetting worked for getting my Aura out of the bootloop.

I used the first of the two tricks David described.

Nightmode is by far my favourite Kobo hack, and I'm very grateful to you, yoq!

I just installed to Glo with 3.1.1 and it works fine.

btw... THANK YOOOUUUUU

Finally.

Has anyone proposed to add the ability to reduce the light even less than the current 1% ?

Finally decided to install the night mode yesterday and now it seems to have problems! Luckily NOT on my Glo (3.1.1), which works fine with build 10. Very grateful I am!

Reducing light beyond 1 % would also be interesting, I think. (suggested it once on the forum, but no one responded.)

BTW: The instructions on installing night mode could be a little more clear... for dummies (like me) reading the first post, it is not directly clear that the tgz-file itself should be copied to the .kobo-map, and not its content.

Mine was build 9 (from the first post in this thread). Where did you get build 10 from?

My build 10 came from the first post before it was removed and replaced by version 9 due (I guess) to the aura-loop-problems mentioned in the recent posts. Propably yoq is working on it...

I've just installed this hack and it works si good!! Thanks a lot for your job guys! Quick note, on my Glo, I had to downgrade to 2.6.1b as above it, the light does not come back after sleeping when set to 1%. But above 2%, it works. Unfortunately 2% is still to bright for me. I'll test the night mode tonight.
