Hi all! Sorry about the lack of updates. I have a kind of lack-of-computer situation going on, but I'm working on it.

Alternatively, we could put blank space in either slot if that's easier, preferably the upper part. Or fill this with some sort of useful information; i.e. current date/time.
I can see how that might be desirable. In fact, I'd like the whole front screen to be modular. I'm all about the customization.

Add: why don't you add the 2 modified app (reader and home) into the same flash package?
This sounds really weird. What versions of everything are you running?

The main reason I don't bundle them is I'm lazy and it'd mean making an extra package (I want to keep supplying separate packages, as some might only want one and not the other and they are, after all, separate apps).

Problem : the default reader app (that I love) don't work well now, very slow and crash if I try to open my notes or open the table of contents.

How can I find the original reader app, I'm totally lost, I'm on ubuntu and cannot run exe.

Thanks.
What version? Home screen shouldn't affect Reader in any way

Anyhow, flash packages can be installed by putting them on an SD card and rebooting the device while keeping the home+back buttons depressed. More detailed instructions are available somewhere in this thread, here and elsewhere.

Re: buttons, The activities associated with each button are hard coded in the stock home app; my modified one bypasses this method

Re: 3rd page, I filter the apps based on their paths, by simply not adding them to the list view when they don't match.

I'm afraid neither is easily achieved without decompiling the app and modifying the behaviour of the app. Feel free to take a look at my code if you want to do it yourself; it is available here.
