I uploaded a new version for FW 3.2.0.
For a newer package, with is compatible with FW 2.6.0 upto 3.4.1 and maybe above, see this post. It replaces all previous versions.
In order to minimize the risks, I added a further configuration file, runsettings.txt. Depending on the selected setting, the Kobo Start Menu will be launched after booting
- always
- only once [starting with the next boot, nickel will be launched]
- never
- alternating with nickel
The default setting is, that the menu will alternate with nickel. If one of the two does not work, we have still a chance to access the device via USB and try to repair it.
If the menu works, change the settings in .kobo\kbmenu\runsettings.txt to
If the menu does not work, change the setting
to
If you do some potentially dangerous tests, set the setting back to
Code:
runmenu=alternateMenu
Edit the configuration file with a unix-style editor. You can change the settings also with "scripts>activate>set runmenu settings.msh" (This requires of course that the menu is working.).
If nothing works, do a factory reset. Before triggering the reset, hold the power slider in the on/off position for 20 seconds, sometimes it needs even longer.
Some words of caution:
I have tested this package on a Touch.
trekk reported already that the menu does not work correctly on Glo and Aura HD. Edit:
Actually, the problem seems not to be related directly to the model, but rather one of the libraries used by the menu is not compatible with Giorgio's Two-fingers light control. Thanks again to Trekk for testing. Peyton reported that this version is working on Mini too.
The menu is supposed to work with all FWs from 2.6.2 (presumably also 2.6.0, but I did not check) to 3.2.0.
You can however not easily downgrade from 3.2.0 (the menu will work, but nickel will not). You have first to factory reset or uninstall this version of the Start Menu. You can then install the version KBStartMenu_02.zip (post #1).
For install and uninstall see post #1.
USE THIS PACKAGE AT YOUR OWN RISK!
