Sleep mode ...
An other question for your consideration ;o)
I don't like very much to use the power button on my Glo, so I'm trying to find a way to put it to sleep and wake it without sliding it. The first problem that I hit was that all the widgets I use to put the Glo to sleep, they also lock the screen. After that, I can not unlock it, even with the power switch. The only solution was a reboot. The second problem is that the only hardware button that the device have (the light) is used for "back" in Android, and I don't want to lose this functionality. Any ideas? |

Battery
And an other consideration ...
In the attached screenshot, you can see some abrupt angles on the battery curve. I check the curve with an other program also, and it was the same. So either the system gives to the programs strange values, or the battery management is working very weird on Android. Last edited by embryo; 12-01-2013 at 02:41 PM. |

I went and download some different versions, and I can run up until 1.6.0 very well. After that, the "Your device cannot support required GLES configuration" message appears ... Edit: Correction. The 1.5.7 is much more stable than 1.6.0. Last edited by embryo; 12-04-2013 at 07:08 PM. Reason: New data ... |

About turning on/off light please search through the forum. I'm sure someone gave script for it. It was like writing 0 to one of the device files. Button Savior Pro allows you to configure custom actions for two buttons - you can attach it there. |

So, I froze the whole Tolino application. That lost me the USB mounting functionality, wich I replaced with the AutoMount app https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...utomount&hl=en and everything went OK again. Even better, because, Tolino was scanning for books in my sd cards (there are 3000+ there) every time I was unmounting them from the PC. |

I learned about uImage and Uboot from these pages http://free-electrons.com/blog/uncom...kernel-on-arm/ http://www.isysop.com/unpacking-and-...-uimage-files/ I managed to extract kernel in a gzip file but not shure the right size. I still have to recalculate the 2 crc What is the size of your original unzipped kernel ? (arch/arm/boot/Image ?) What is the entry point of the kernel ? (Seems to be 70008000 from image_header) [edit] The data content is image_header struct + one Image (Uboot code + embedded gzip kernel) I have not seen this case in doc. Is it arm related ? ----- As I writed previously, I would like to patch the kernel to try to setup 1Ghz CPU and SleepCover without having to recompile it. Sooner or later, I should setup a build environnement to recompile kernel but I'm not ready yet as I'm starting from scratch on Linux and have a lot to learn ...

Shell script in init.rc
I do not manage to launch shell script from init.rc.
I made dozens of tests with various syntax and failed. My script is not launched at all... I'm not far to give up. Can someone point me to a working example ? |

... and yet an other consideration
Although the specs of Glo are talking about a 1Ghz processor http://www.kobo.com/koboglo/techspecs/ using 2 apps (SetCPU and OverclockWidget) to change the clock, both tell me that the maximum clock is 800Mhz. Edit: Xmmm... Just discovered that this was already reported. Last edited by embryo; 12-03-2013 at 06:51 PM. |

https://github.com/marek-g/kobo-kern...d_instructions you can skip modules compilation and installation part. And of course use correct path for uImage file when running "dd" command. If you do it from Android, path to the device is a little bit different, too (I don't remember, check with "ls /dev"). [EDIT] Quote:
