It is likely that it is because Kobo are working on the support for the Aura and different things are working because of that. It probably depends on whether the code is testing to see if the current device is an Aura or not.

Looking at the libraries, there are a few interesting strings that look like settings that could affect this. In the "FeatureSettings" section, I can see "GestureKeyboard" and "PinchFontSize". And in the "ApplicationSettings" there is "KrakenIsPhoenix".

I have tried these with past firmware, and they didn't seem to do anything. But, with the kernel supporting multitouch, that might change. Each of them appear to be a boolean, so the should take either "True" or "False".
