OK, so I have a brand new Glo (like 48 hours old) ... figured I try this out before transferring my library over ....
I have firmware 3.1.1
I'm one of the "dummies" mentioned here in a post by KJB:
~~~~~~~~~~
BTW: The instructions on installing night mode could be a little more clear... for dummies (like me) reading the first post, it is not directly clear that the tgz-file itself should be copied to the .kobo-map, and not its content.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So ... I'm ready to dive in, with reservations .... (like, is the boot loop just an Aura issue or also a Glo issue?)
And, will I need to do this procedure in a post by eXistenZ: ?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It's a known bug, it has nothing to do with the night mode, I solved with an hard reset, then manually updated to 2.6.1 and finally to 3.1.1, the trick is to pass through 2.6.1
~~~~~~~~
So, I
think I need to do this:
I down load the file from:
The installer is at:
https://mega.co.nz/#!NxoXjJoT!DJLCcS...mQlOnmr7suOBpg
and the uninstaller is at:
https://mega.co.nz/#!RgYxWDwD!WDg72h...gdwtcDnhHBZ8mw
AND THEN ....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Installation / Removal
Download the attached zip file
Connect your Kobo to your computer
Extract the file KoboRoot.tgz from the installer / uninstaller folder
Copy it to the .kobo folder on your device
**** I should put the tgz-file itself in the .kobo-map folder on my device
Safely remove the USB storage and unplug
Your device will reboot automatically
Should I power completely off and back on again?
Control nightmode
There are two ways to control this mod:
Long-press the LIGHT/HOME button to toggle on/off
Use a launcher to start the nightmode.sh script:
KoboLauncher: Add:
Night Mode = /mnt/onboard/.kobo/nightmode.sh
to .kobo/KoboLauncher/kobo_launcher.ini
or KoboTweaks: (not working on 2.6+) Add:
Night Mode=tweaks.executeSystemCmd(\"/mnt/onboard/.kobo/nightmode.sh\")
to .kobo/kobotewaks.ini
Configuration
In your .kobo folder, there will be a configuration file called nightmode.ini. You can change whether the state should be retained over a restart of the device, the default state after power up and the duration for a long press. The new setting will take effect after a restart.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After restarting, I would then long press the light button at the top of my Glo to activate Nightmode.
Am I missing anything? Am I ready to try this out?
Thanks to all of you for all your help and hard work!
