Notes and other patches

Notes:

None of the patches are enabled by default anymore.


The following patches are still missing, I'll update the attachment in post #1 if/when they become available:

Missing from libnickel.so.1.0.0.patch:
* `Custom page refresh options`
* All keyboard patches


These patches have changed since firmware version 4.5.9587:

`Custom Sleep/Power-off timeouts` now works like it did in 3.x.x firmware versions, i.e. all values can be changed, maximum 255 minutes.

`Freedom to advanced fonts control`: It no longer makes any difference whether the device/book language is Japanese or not. BEWARE: I don't fully understand the consequences of this patch, it seems to work okay on my Glo, but I can't be 100% certain that there are no bad side effects.

`Custom reading footer style`: The firmware now uses larger font sizes for the footer, by default the patch changes back to the old sizes.

`Fix page breaks bug` name changed to `Disable orphans/widows avoidance`


Other patches:

`Increase headlines font`

`New home screen subtitle custom font`

`New home screen footer rename`

`New home screen removing the footer (row3) and increasing cover size`

If you know of any other patches for firmware 4.6.9960, post them in this thread and I'll add a link above.
