Disable reader stats icon on home page ?
V3.1.1
Is there any way to permanently prevent the reader statistics icon from displaying on the home page? I have disabled the reader stats thingy under settings, but every time I finish a book the reading stats icon appears informing me that I have finished 0 books, kind of silly and annoying for this icon to display, especially when reading stats are disabled under settings. |

If you are a calibre use, my Kobo Utilities plugin has a function to remove most types of tiles and prevent them from reappearing. The latter is done using a database trigger. If you aren't a calibre user, you can create the database trigger manually.

Using Kobo Glo under firmware 3.2.0, Calibre 1.28, and Kobo Utilities 1.6.2 (just installed it after reading this topic), I can remove the Stats Tile, but it comes back whenever I finish a book.
Using the 'Dismiss Tiles' menu, I checked all the tiles I wanted removed, and they stay checked when I open this menu again. Then pushed 'ok'. Tile was removed, but reappeared later (as soon as i finished a 'test' book). Opened the menu again, checked 'remove trigger' (thinking there was a default trigger within the database). Same thing happened. Opened the menu again, checked 'add or change trigger' (thinking there wasn't any trigger by default in the database, or that I just deleted it anyway by the previous operation). Same thing happened. Best regards. |

I haven't been able to reomove the 'stats' tile either.
I was hoping that the guru's here could assist with editing the .conf file (or suchlikes) to permanently prevent that reading 'stats' tile from showing on the home screen. |

And I have had a better look at the stats tile. It doesn't seem to work the same as the other tiles. It appears that the tile is created on the home screen separately from the database being updated. This means that the trigger won't prevent it from being displayed. It will mean it disappears if the home page is completely refreshed, but I can't see a way to stop it in the first place. |

Okay, thanks for the help.
I suppose it might get fixed in a future kobo update, because I feel it's connected to an option about book stats in the kobo menu (which I desactivated). Best regards. |

I think the tile getting displayed when you have the stats disabled is a bug. Hopefully it will get fixed.
The fact we can't automatically dismiss it might be a deliberate design decision. The way the utilities plugin does it for most of the tiles is a cheat and it is possible that Kobo might decide to "fix" it. |
