Since there seems to be at least some interest in password protection, I would like to re-introduce this option in KSM 06.
In order to verify that it works correctly on H2O and AURA HD, I prepared a test. (I am of course interested in other devices too, but H2O and AURA HD seem to be the most problematic models.) Edit: Of course, I run the test on my Touch before I posted it here.
How to test:- extract ksmhome.sh from the uploaded archive and copy it to .kobo\kbmenu\onstart\ of the device
- safely eject and disconnect the device
- select "tools > activate > bouncer > settings.msh > new PW" and enter your chosen password twice (for more details, cf. this post)
- reboot the device; you will be asked to enter your password to continue
If you cannot pass the password check for some reason,- connect the device via USB cable to a pc
- delete the file bouncerpw.txt of .kobo\kbmenu\kbbouncer\, and force the device to reboot
If the password check does work remove or comment out in the new ksmhome.sh the following line (
with a unix-style editor)
Code:
sh $ksmroot/scripts_intern/usb/usb_enable.sh
or wait until I post a new ksmhome.sh after positive feedback (
a mistake in this file can have severe consequences).
In order to disable the password check, select "tools > activate > bouncer > settings.msh > delete PW"
If you try this test, please share your experience!
