Sorry, there is no package containing the latest version. Install KBStartMenu_04.zip and KBStartMenu_04_update01a.zip one after the other.

If you have a device that is prone to freezing copy the content of preventfreeze.zip (find it here https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...&postcount=277) to your device.

Spoiler:

The following seven steps are confusing and might not be to the point. Don't follow them. I leave them here just as a reference for my own use.
  • 1. download KBStartMenu_04.zip (find it here) to your pc and extract the folders kbmenu and kbmenupngs
  • 2. download KBStartMenu_04_update01a.zip (find it here) to your pc and extract the folders kbmenu and kbmenupngs; copy the content of those two folder into the two folders of step 1 (replacing already existing files of KBStartMenu_04 with those of KBStartMenu_04_update01a)
  • 3. add the files of datetime_scripts.zip (find it here) to the kbmenu folder (of step 1)
  • Maybe edit the files usersettings.txt (edit the font size, it migth be to small for your new device) and runsettings.txt (runmenu=always).
  • 4. copy the folder kbmenu of step 1 to .kobo of your device
  • 5. copy the folder kbmenupngs of step 1 to the root of your device
  • 6. eject savely and let nickel process the image files.
  • 7. download KBStartMenu_04_udate01_un_re_install.zip (find it here) to your pc and extract its content. Copy KoboRoot.tgz from the folder reinstall to .kobo of your device, eject safely ...
