jotas7 - update 1 is out (Hanlin V3 firmware MOD, see first message from thread).



This is test firmware, based on new kernel and new SDK. Much faster, but still with some problems (specially with missing keystrokes and power on/off). Maybe worth if you use you reader only for FB2, RTF, TXT, PDF, EPUB titles (but ADE version is also somewhat old, too).



Update 1:

- New and additional way to open FB2, RTF and TXT books from Lbook skin. This is the classic CoolReader, dated March (the one included inside jotas5 for V3), with only occasional fast reopening, but instead it should open books faster, use and record to SD card only if necessary and, if possible (according to Hanlin model and book type), make more use of uncompress memory and books. Access using long press key from Lbook skin, while short press to use last CoolReader.

- New user setting to turn on/off default and user configurable book cover images.

- Changed the way some styles and text are show for books.

- Up to 9 different levels for font-weight from user settings (if the font allows it). Usually allowed normal, and two or three bold levels.

- Internal changes to improve fast reopening book modes.

- Updated and modded CoolReader, as July 16, 2010.

You can use "fonts" (no quote, lowercase) folder to add any more fonts as need. Simply create it over internal memory or external SD card, and name as http://www.jinke.com.cn/Compagesql/E...ervice/faq.asp
