Hi Tshring and Ken,

I had been using this start menu (same version) since last fall and everything was fine till yesterday when I tried the "pocket" app in the nickle and was asked to update before syncing articles. Unfortunately, after the updating (the menu turned up first, I chose full update from the menu - I didn't know what I was doing in fact) the device don't go to the menu when powered up. I have only access to a regular Kobo Aura HD now, no access to the menu or Koreader.

I noticed that there had been many updates for the Koreader and menu since last auguest. Should I follow Ken's tutorial and reinstall everything new or do I need to reinstall anything before doing it?

Since I need to go through this whole treatment, I am wondering if I could add a regular android app via the menu as well, for instance Greader (for fetching articles and news from websites) or even the Pocket into the menu? I found the Pocket in nickle is not a regular version. It cannot fetch webpages in certain formats but the Pocket in my old crappy smartphone could. I am guessing the aura is just android OS with a kobo interface and functions - that is why using a launcher could introduce more apps into it. I need some news downloading and reading apps - nothing involves heavy animation or video playback. Is this possible under this menue? Or do I need to investigate this tutorial?

I have only limited experience with apk and zip application in my HC phone so will wait for your advice and instruction before taking any actions.

Thank you.
