If you are talking about the font support without flashing, it is going to work as is (there is no XML file modification involved in that, and the auto-run thankfully still works, so this hack is safe and will work in the 1.1.00.18040 without any changes). So should all the JS hacks (Sudoku, Dictionary, File Manager, etc)

The hacks requiring XML file mod (i.e. the clock) have to be taken cautiously as the XML files all changed, albeit just a little bit, in this new version of FW. But some diffing and merging will still be required.

The previous generation of "hacks" was all ready-built images, installing them will downgrade your FW back to the previous release. The new ready-built images will have to be made, or, better yet, the Hack Builder will need to be updated to create 1.1.00.18040 images for the Universal Flasher.
