I did that (well, I used libprs500) and that set the time from 00:00 to an hour earlier than my PC clock is set to).

I wish Sony would incorporate it into their future upgrade. I really miss right handed flipping buttons. |

I am too much coward/fool to try an inovation like that
I didn't even upgrade my reader when the last official upgrade became available. I think I should grow up a bit...maybe in 6-8 months I will be ready P.S. Madam Broshkina, have we met on the-ebook.org before? Last edited by astra; 05-18-2007 at 08:17 AM. |

You can find it in the Wiki: Click Only the last step you don't need ebook.py. Just use the original Sony Reader update software. It works great! Another method that Igor told me is to start the Sony update tool and after unpacking go to the temp folder on your disk and search for the unpakked Reader update. Inside go to ../assets/updaterAssets/PRSVersion.dat and open that file with notepad. Change the last "0" in a "1". This way the updater thinks it has a newer version and will "upgrade" (fix) your Reader. |

It must have been the ruddy Rock of Gibraltar!
Yeah, I somehow missed all of that. Thanks for waking me up! |

Reader UI request!
Hey all you firmware hackers and flashers. I'd really really like an improvement to how the "by author" and "by title" choices on the main reader menu work.
I want hierarchical navigation through the space of available choices using the 10 buttons to choose from subranges of the total. In programmer-speak, think of it as choosing the n-th subchild of a balanced tree with up to 10 children per node. At each level, you display for each button the first and last book available at the leaves if I choose that button. (No need to implement it as a balanced tree, of course. That just describes the notion, not the implementation.) This would allow access to any book with Log-base-10(total-number-of-books) button presses. Way better than scrolling through a 50-page list of individual books. If we can flash the firmware, this ought to be a doable thing. Anyone up for the programming? Anyone? Beuhler? |

I want to say thank you! I've done the upgrades and they seem to work fine. Now if only we could get LIT format on this puppy we'd be golden.

I think this thread deserves a "sticky", wouldn't you say?

Where would we find the meaning of all the referenced functions and objects in the XML scripts? It's a bit confusing that (more than) half the code for the key reassignment example seems to be related to the clock example--makes reverse-engineering what was done a bit difficult.
For those who have actually done these, what is the recommended way of finding out what can/cannot be changed? What can the enbedded C scripts actually access? This would help busy (lazy???) people like me try things out. Resources that would be useful would be a link to an XMK reference, a worked example of changing internal fonts and adding extra ones, a list of objects and key codes/identifiers, and so on. |

Removing clock?
I love this flasher because I've been itching to have the joystick act as a page turner.
Like a previous poster, I don't understand what the different functions are in the xml file. How would I go about removing the clock? It's a great demo of the flasher, but I prefer to read without a clock right there. I do plan to try changing the fonts, but for now all I want is the joystick mod. |
