I have KSM (and KOReader) running on Kobo Touch under FW 4.2.8283. Could owners of other models please install the uploaded patch* (the archive contains a KoboRoot.tgz file), and confirm whether it works? The problem was that after running nickel and returning to KSM, the screen of KSM had distortions, and KOReader did not run.

* I do not want to talk anybody into installing FW 4.2.8283. Be aware that there is a warning against "manually applying 4.2.8283 if it's not available via the Kobo servers" by george.talusan (link). From the information spread in this forum the greatest risk is for mark 5 devices (Aura 6", H2O).
Edit: I have tested FW 4.2.8283 on a Kobo Glo (after applying KSM_patch_4.2.8283). KSM and KOReader are working, but nickel does not (heavy screen distortions):

If you have installed the package KSM08_ext_aura_one_03b from here, then there is no need to install KSM_patch_4.2.8283, since it is already included there.

I have removed the archive from this post and included this patch (with further improvements) in KSM08_ext_aura_one_03c from here. KSM08_ext_aura_one_03c is not limited to Aura One and Aura Edition 2.
