902 customizing PB902 UI and buttons

Euclid · 05-04-2011, 02:59 PM

Hello, all. Two noob questions here.

1-I noticed that on the home screen of the PB902 there are two unused slots (labeled as "Not set") on the main menu (Library, Notes, etc.). How do I go about "setting" those slots to something? For instance, is there a way from me to put apps in those slots (e.g., the wifi-on and wifi-off apps courtesy of "review" https://www.mobileread.com/forums/arc.../t-117366.html)?

2-When reading a document, is there a way to set some button to immediately take me back to my library (instead of having to repeatedly push the back "-" button on the bottom of the device)?

I don't know the answer to point 1). I vaguely recall seeing a tradeshow video describing that such stuff could be customized, but I don't see anything in the configuration menu to allow that. Maybe someone else knows.

As to point 2), just hold down the back button for a few seconds (i.e a long press). It will kick you out of the book and back to the library. The OK button also often has different functionality under long presses, depending on the application.

Thank you, rkomar. Q2 resolved. Q1 not as big a deal for now.

Maybe try a long press on the "Not set" slot, and you can add a new widget

Simple answer to question #1:
The two slots in the main menu will be filled if you press the key with the book symbol while you are in the library, and select "Add to favorites" from the context menu. So you can add two favorites to the main menu, in effect. ;-)
