Disable pinch-to-zoom font resizing: (paste into libnickel.so.1.0.0.patch)
Spoiler:
Code:
<Patch>
patch_name = `Disable pinch-to-zoom font resizing`
#
# Prevents the pinch gesture resizing the font when reading k/epubs (on Aura
# or other devices with a multitouch kernel). Pinch to zoom images still works.
#
patch_enable = `yes`
replace_bytes = 919C48, 04 46 2D ED 04 8B, BD E8 F0 8F 00 46
</Patch>
Tested and working, perfectly on my Aura.
Thank you very much
Question; How is it that you make these patches? Do you use a special program to find the code to patch or something?
