Hi. Thanks for the Customizer.
I tried flashing several times (always deleting card before new flash and reflashing using original fw). All the mods work but the "Unicode fonts with Cyrillic Support" doesnt seem to work (some accented characters are still missing - same as with the original fw). I was using the "russification" for viewing books in Central/Eastern European encoding with the old firmware for months and it was ok. Is there something I have to turn on to replace the fonts?

Shouldn't be. It may be a problem with the files.505.1.1.00.18040/opt/sony/ebook/FONT folder...see if it's capitalized; if not, rename it. Also, please try the new version, 0.04.

Version 0.04 and capitalized FONT folder work.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Please delete that 0.04 zip! I found a nasty xml bug that hits some cases. I'll re-upload when it's fixed.

I have the same problem as mngreen, I've tried three times, but no success, I'm going to buy a new sd card the one I'm using now is the micro with an sd adapter, maybe that will help.

Will 0.4 allow everything to be optional?

jakewastaken · 08-18-2008, 04:36 PM

I think a changelog and maybe a new thread would be a good idea. It's hard for people to tell if they need to update or not.

All but personalization and clock.

Being in a sticky is a better option in a new thread. I'll give a changelog some thought though...

Sorry you're having problems.

Was able to get it to work after connecting to computer and installing with a new sd card.
Thanks for your efforts and others to bring this program to the masses.

You're welcome. I sure am puzzled why the mini/micro sd cards can be an issue...

Flasher gave me the clock and personal info, but will not give me the new icons, only the originals. If I select any icon set I get the following error message /tmp/self upgrade/new_optimg not found. Strange in any event the clock was what I really wanted.

The clock can be turned off. No problem. But why not make the personalization optional? Some people may not want it.
