Re-enable LeanAndMean touch gestures
This firmware has a new LeanAndMean feature setting enabled by default, which provides some faster code or shortcuts for certain screen refresh, networking, and touch gesture functions.
But unfortunately the LeanAndMean screen refresh code causes ghosting problems on the older Pearl devices, noticable when using the menus, panning, and highlighting. The LeanAndMean feature can be disabled by adding LeanAndMean=false to the [FeatureSettings] section of the configuration file, which fixes most of the ghosting problems. However this also disables the LeanAndMean touch gestures. So for those who have disabled LeanAndMean for ghosting reasons, this patch attempts re-enable just the LeanAndMean touch gestures. (Paste into libnickel.so.1.0.0.patch): Code:
<Patch> patch_name = `Re-enable LeanAndMean touch gestures` patch_enable = `yes` replace_bytes = 6ADBA4, 7C F5 E8 EF, 01 20 01 20 </Patch> Last edited by GeoffR; 05-01-2015 at 01:48 AM. Reason: Paste into libnickel.so.1.0.0.patch |

I have a question, I want a fixed top margin, but something like 10px, not 25px. How should I set this:
# Optional replacement value: Uncomment for a FIXED TOP MARGIN size in px, # default 25px. Replacement value is margin size, two digits separated by \0 # (Leave commented out for an adjustable top margin.) replace_string = B82BBE, `%\01`, `2\05` 1\00 ? |

Thanks, GeoffR, for the help with the `ePub fixed/adjustable top/bottom margins`. It works perfectly.

I've tried }` and ;}` in place of the {` and keep getting type mismatched for the first line.

Dear GeoffR, although there is no chess, i'm able to play it as a shortcut is on my homescreen (if i create a tile before the upgrade).
Do you think it is possible to re-activate the game in beta features menu by a patch? Thanks |

Just to be precise, I placed them in the section Code:
patch_name = `Custom reading footer style` Code:
</Patch> Code:
{` |

I moved the 2 lines back to the Custom reading footer style patch and placed it at the very end and that made it work. Yes, I was I copied the exact spaces but possibly the placement wasn't exactly where it wanted to be (I tried so many things I really can't remember where within the patch text I originally tried it).
But it's all working great now as originally posted and the font is changed for the page numbers. Thanks for the help. Edit: The LeanAndMean=false addition to the config file didn't help the ghosting on my Glo though when making some menu changes. While you don't see those too often, I'll hold off updating the others. I was more trying to be ready for when my Glo HD arrives. Last edited by Ripplinger; 05-02-2015 at 09:19 AM. |

Maybe this is easier to handle by the calibre plugin. You could ask DavidFor.

But, a quick look at libnickel, suggests that all the code is there. Hopefully it is just a matter finding the bit to toggle or otherwise change. |

Sure, I meant to say that assigning the chess tile constantly to the home screen might probably be an easier way to provide access to the chess application than to put it back to the beta feature list. And it could survive firmware updates.
