Tested on my Kobo mini reading some big 150Mb pdf files. It works perfectly

It s great unofficial update and my first one

Many thanks Sir giorgio130 !!

Now (only for noobs) I'm gonna can explain the kobo mini method I used :
1) download KoboMultitouch320.zip (5.66 MB, 1431 views) from the first msg of this topic
2) Extract the Kobo Multitouch Zip File. Inside you’ll find a folder titled “upgrade” and another file “KoboRoot.tgz”.
3) rename "uImage" to "uImage-E50610"
4) Plug your Kobo eReader into your computer with a USB cable. On the Kobo device choose to connect to your computer when asked.
5) After connecting your Kobo device, all that is required to install the multitouch mod is to add the “upgrade” folder and the KoboRoot.tgz file to the .kobo folder on the root of the Kobo eReader drive. Do not extract the KoboRoot.tgz file.
6) After coping over the files, close the Kobo drive and choose to safely eject the device from your computer. Then unplug the USB cable and the Kobo Reader will automatically install the multi-touch hack and then restart.

Questions : Do u think I have to try this new version "KoboMultitouch3120a-Cecell3000-v003-GLO.zip " on my mini Kobo since they share the kernel ?
My mini kobo is open and I have a tree different Sd Card with a backup then I guess it cant brick (?)
