Hello tshering, I downloaded again the pbchess2015-5.zip file from Sergey's page and just copied the vlasovsoftlauncher folder, like you suggested, and now it's working fine on both Glo and Aura HD with KSM 07 Update 4! No unsupported messages! Thanks! I also installed the nightmode patch on both devices (thank you for saving me from my ignorance, otherwise I'd keep trying to make the toggle_nightmode.png work without the patch until kingdom come, lol), and it's working fine on the Aura HD; the Glo has a few glitches (sometimes I have to hold the light button very long to turn off the light, also the light simply turns on by itself randomly and drains the battery when the reader is just sitting there, and auto-sleep [via the nickel settings menu] doesn't work), but the Glo was already behaving like that with nickel 3.5.0 (and that was the reason I decided to update, which led me to find out about KSM).

Please don't hate me, but I also noticed a serious battery drainage problem on the Glo after I updated to 3.15.0 and installed KSM 07, even when it's asleep on Nickel (I already set preventfreeze to false, BTW, but that didn't help). Before the update and KSM, the battery lasted for days (like two weeks) even when I occasionally forgot it not sleeping overnight, so I never even had to turn it off. Now the battery dies in two days, sometimes less, even when it sleeps all the time. The curious thing is, I did the same things on the Aura HD (updated to 3.15.0 and installed KSM 07) and its battery life didn't change at all (still lasts for weeks even with the device always on). I noticed that other people posted here about short battery life problems on Glo, so this is why I'm tellilng you this. Maybe it's something in the model that doesn't agree well with KSM 07, I don't know. Anyway, if the problem persists, I'm thinking about uninstalling KSM 07 from the Glo, since I can still enjoy it on the Aura HD, where it works fine. Overall, I prefer the Aura HD anyway, I think it works better and I love the bigger screen, I'd buy a 9.7-inch model if there was one on the market here.

Once again, thanks for all the patience and support.
