Hello everyone. I've made a custom kernel that enables multitouch on older models - you'll say, even Marek's kernel did that. Well that's right, but I've refactored the touchscreen driver in order to output the same events of the capacitive screen on the new Kobo Aura. This means that flashing this kernel will enable controlling the light intensity with two fingers and pinch to zoom in pdfs and images in older models as well, rejoice
The attached package has been tested thoroughly both on my Kobo Glo and on my Kobo AuraHD. It works; however I take no responsibility if this mod causes some harm to your device.
So, have fun but be responsible, be sure to have a working image to debrick your own device. The code is at

It should also work on mini and newer touch, since they already share the same kernel as glo, but obviously it would only enable pinch to zoom. For this reason, no uImage for those pcbs is included in the package - if you wish to try it out, rename one uImage (they're all the same) to uImage-E50610 for kobo mini and to uImage-E60610D for kobo touch ( only newer model!)
WARNING
Upgrading to 3.2.0 with this mod active will make your touch unresponsive. Please use the attached multitouch-uninstall.zip before upgrading to 3.2.0.
Afterwards, you can apply KoboMultitouch320.zip to regain the functionality.
If you are already on 3.2.0 and newer, just install KoboMultitouch320.zip.
