Maybe i manage without help, but I do want to ask/beg you to keep the main patch the way it is and all the option patches I have seen in all the last posts will be an additional,because like we say in Dutch litteraly like our famous coach in England now, I can't see the forest behind the trees anymore 
So a basic patch that was common until now for me as Dummy,and an advantage patch with all the other options.
And with all the advanced options and patches I have to keep in mind,can they be adapted to 3.13.0 or have you start all over again ??
It seems to me that it will take a long time to change them all.. respect if you are planning to do all the additional patches for every new firmware to come  |
For myself I would prefer the original one-line reading footer patch and just edit the replacement string, but then it takes a lot of posts to explain how to edit it. There is a trade-off between making the patch simple and making the examples and instructions on how to edit it complete, maybe the latest patch has gone too far with the examples and instructions. There is a version of the custom reading footer style patch in post #2 that uses the old layout though.
With the next firmware patch I will be using the new version v0.10 of patch32lsb, I just need someone to compile an executable for the Mac. The new patch32lsb will allow some patches to be applied to new firmware versions without any manual changes needed, so as long as Kobo don't change the string being patched then you will be able to use your custom reading footer patch with new firmware versions without making any changes at all, just copy and paste it into the new libnickel.so.1.0.0.patch file.
Also the new patch32lsb version allows some patches to use addresses relative to a single base address, so those patches can then be updated just by changing one address which will save a lot of typing and reduce the possibility of typos when updating the patch.
