Start with the bad eyes patch:- copy the original KoboRoot.tgz to KBPatcher12_3.17.3\3.17.3_source
- double-click 3.17.3_no_packing.bat (This will create the patched files without packing them into a tgz file)
Then do GeoffR's patch (Be aware that this works only with the windows version in this way!): - copy the original KoboRoot.tgz to patch_kobo_3173\3.17.3_source
- copy the newly created libnickel.so.1.0.0 and nickel from KBPatcher12_3.17.3\3.17.3_target\usr\local\Kobo to patch_kobo_3173\3.17.3_source
- create an empty file nickel.patch in patch_kobo_3173\3.17.3_source (This will tell the patcher to include the nickel file into KoboRoot.tgz)
- double_click (patch_kobo_3173\)3.17.3.bat
- copy the newly created KoboRoot.tgz to .kobo of your device
I hope that this works for you!
Edit: If you follow surquizu's advice, you have to apply both KoboRoot.tgz files . First, copy Geoff's KoboRoot.tgz to .kobo and let the device restart (otherwise you are loosing the patched versions of libadobe.so and librmsdk.so.1.0.0), then copy the bad eyes' KoboRoot.tgz to .kobo and let the device restart. |
Dear tshering,
I followed the steps suggested by you, but while executing the last step (double_click (
patch_kobo_3173\)3.17.3.bat), I got an error message:
Read 14715252 bytes from input file 'C:\patch_kobo_3173- for custom font adjustment and page refresh\patch_kobo_3173\3.17.3_source\libnickel.so .1.0.0'

Press any key to continue . . .
No KoboRoot.tgz is produced.
Kindly help.
PS: I made a lot of mess-up while applying
surquizu's method. Was feeling too dumb to report.
