Did all that. Every single step, plus a few other ways posted around that always ended with my Reader bricked. Only thing I have not tried is replacing the letters from Dutch one by one with the one I want (Futura Lt Bt), that was suggested right before holidays. Right now I am creating reader size PDFs out of docs, that allow for a simpler formating of the text and, with the font I want, turn the pages much faster than LRFs. A thorough explanation of the process could come handy, but I think the success of the replacement procedure depends on the font you pick. Futura is TT. |

Had some spare time and inserted Lithuanian localization in 0.05 version. For some reason was not able to fix "Books by Title" appearance on top message window. Maybe somebody more skilled than me will do that. Flash as per JeffElkins instructions.

Are you sure it was 0.05 you added to or was is 0.05a? 0.05a is the current version and if you added to 0.05, you'll have to go add to 0.05a and change your attachment to reflect this.

Jon,
I was playing with 0.05 not 0.05a. This latest includes Croatian and Italian locale. I see no reason to put my locale in any new version of customizer only because some new languages were added. I will do that when/if new hacks will be implemented. |

And to answer your question the answer is yes. You will lose the history back/forward if you change it it to be page turn buttons. But, there are alternatives to the history such as the page turn circle or the volume up/down. So while you can change the joypag into page turning, you don't have to lose the history functionality. |

In the future, rather than zipping up the entire PRSCustomizer bundle for locale testing, just zip up the required files from directory prsfiles. I really don't want multiple versions of my program floating around for download. |

So the joypad forward is just page forward and no page back? And is history back then still enabled? I've not really used history forward all that much. But I do use history back especially reading Discworld books.

The 500 version of that hack change both the history back/forward to page back/forward. That is why I made the history hacks complete.

Hi, Thanks v. much for this. I've been using it since v0.03.
However, I've been having some odd trouble with my reader since I upgraded to v0.05 and applied a custom font (per Valloric's instructions). My reader boots fine, and I can read books. I can plug it in to my computer and access it as a removable drive. But, I can't run the updater on it or access it through the Sony ebook software. When it's plugged into my computer the reader blanks, and the updater and ebook software take a long time to start, and then don't recognize the reader (the ebook software displays it, but says "error"). After unpluggin git, the only way to unblank the screen is to reset it. To try and fix it, I've reset it, formatted the internal memory, and tried running the updater, and tried running the universal flasher (as soon as I insert my SD card, the screen goes blank and no button seems to wor. Resetting it fixes it.) How can I fix my reader? Thanks. |

Have you tried the unbricking procedure described in Appendix C of my guide? Also, did you use version 0.05 or 0.05a? The guide was designed and tested with version 0.05a.
Also, did you reset the Reader via the updater before using the guide? |
