I'm not sure yet, something has changed to break the old keyboard patches, but I haven't looked very hard yet so it might just be something simple.

Finding the brightness file control patch will probably have to start from scratch, the light controls have changed completely.

The sleep/power timeouts patch was broken because the strings that are used for the menu have been optimised by the compiler, they now overlap in memory to save space, and so some of the menu items can no longer be changed independently. A more limited patch that just changes some of the menu options should still be possible.
