edit the framework-res.apk with the APK Multi-Tool and replace it in /system/framework

decompile the apk, you can find the file /res/values/strings
and search 'epub'
just edit the text and recompile the apk
replace this in /system/framework

but careful, if something wrong will cause your device bootloop
backup your framework-res.apk before edit it

if u unlucky and got the bootloop
insert your sdcard to ubuntu , and push back your original framework apk file


maybe i can upload my file here later

Thanks for the tip, but I do not have a values folder in my res folder.

dont extract the apk
use the function decompile
hope this help

[lekofraggle]

Yes, that helped. It was decompile. I am almost there. Somehow I corrupted framework-res.apk. so, I have to see what I did in my laziness to cause the bootloop. For those of you as lazy as me, you can easily fix the Britpop by pushing the original file back through adb. You have to mount the filesystem r/w in the shell first though. That way, no need for linux.

Hello! I'm new with kobo glo, and still testing... I have installed latest MarekGibek image (2014-08-07), and I have 2 questions: How can I wake up my ereader, and completely switch off? How can I open/edit sd.img for adding some apps?

Although I don't use that image, I think its the same with the previous one.
You can get in and out of suspend mode by sliding the power button and turn it off by slide and hold the power button (you have to select the first option in the following dialog with German words).
You can also long press the (X) virtual button of the "Button Savior" and choose the same first option as before.

How can I open/edit sd.img for adding some apps?

You can install the apps while running Android and then backup the image with your computer.

What image do you use? I slide power button but device doesn't suspend or wake up. I need to connect charger to wake up device... there are other options? Also play store seems not working.

I use a more customized version of [MarekGibek's]+++ image (see first post for links)

How can I backup the image with my pc?

You can use Flash Drive Image Creator.
I use RMPrepUSB, but its a little more complicated.

Thanks to criscsh, I was able to change the language of the popups too.

Woo Woo

The error was due to how apk multitool was compiling framework-res.

I had to change compression to 0, and let it use the old resources when it asked. After deleting resources.rc from the Keep folder, it worked...

If anyone else would like it, here is a copy of my framework-res.apk. Someone please let me know if this is a violation or if I am inadvertently posting all of my secret info in this file.

Back your old one up before pushing this. If it does not work on your system, it will bootloop. You can fix it by pushing the old one during the bootloop. But, I am not sure I can help beyond that if you get stuck.

Thanks everyone for helping...

P.S. The menus are in English.

Just realize what is your problem.
I had it also when I opened my Glo.
While I had the back removed, I had to squeeze the front & back of the power button together to make it work.
I had to do it simultaneously while I was sliding it (its easier than it sounds).
After assembling the back I had to be really careful for the button to end up in in the right place.
