I wanted to try out KOReader on my Kobo H20 v2. The simplest way seemed to be using KFMon, so that's what I did. I got the problems described here:

https://github.com/koreader/koreader/issues/3925

Mine is definitely the rev2 version (Product ID 378 - confirmed by reading the last three digits out of the .kobo/version file). Latest firmware: v4.8.11073

Since I don't have a github login at the moment, and I see NiLuJe over there, I thought I'd add some (hopefully relevant) notes here.

The 2018.06.02 build started but just didn't respond to touch at all. (No crash, sleep/power button worked fine.) The 2018.04.12 build responded to touch but seemed to be getting everything backwards (pressing cancel got Okay all sorts of wonderful stuff).

I went back to the 2018.06.02 build, and seeing the notes on the link above, I tried a few of the things discussed. What appears to have worked for me was this:

Code:

local KoboSnowRev2 = Kobo:new{
    model = "Kobo_snow",
    hasFrontlight = yes,
    touch_snow_protocol = true,
    --touch_probe_ev_epoch_time = true,
    --touch_phoenix_protocol = true,
    display_dpi = 265,
[...]

Yes, you read that right, I had to put touch_snow_protocol back in.

I haven't done much testing, but what I have done has touch doing all the right things.
