Out of curiosity, I tried myself to start the Kobolauncher from nickel, and it works on my Touch. I upload my launcher.sh here. If you try it on a model different from the Touch, please let me know whether it is working. (If on other models nickel is unresponsive after returning from the launcher, slide the power slider into the on/off position and hold it for 20 seconds. After that you can power on again.)
Edit: It does not work on Glo, cf.
this post, and it is rather unlikely that it works on Aura HD and Aura.
