Device: nook simple touch, paperwhite 2, paperwhite 3, kobo aura hd
kobo_service.apk (screen refresh tool for android kobo)

hello guys, i compiled (this) code of MarekGibek for my own use, without any modification.

It is an enhanced version of kobo_rotate.apk, which supports:
-full refresh every screen update(best but slow)
-normal refresh
-monochrome(fast)
-dithered monochrome(fast)
screen update modes.

just download the apk, install it on your arduino kobo, and delete kobo_rotate.

i didn't test it more than a few minutes, so i'm not responsible for any problem you might encounter. it just did worked for me, and been posted here.

note: this apk wasn't included in any image i could found for Aura HD, so i thought it might be worth sharing. if this is an already used and listed tweak, please warn me mods and you can delete this post.

issues i found so far:
-On Aura HD, if you put the device to sleep while on a monochrome mode, i can't properly wake up, screen doesn't fully update itself what seems because that it considers the sleep screen as blank and only register the changes after the wake up, weird. you might need to reset your device. normal and reading modes don't cause this.
