Hi, I'm the only one who could not make firmware 4.11.11982 work on his KA1? It was very slow, almost impossible to use, I lost the sign of books and no longer worked the wifi

(but that is perhaps a peculiar flaw of my kobo, although the 4.10.11655 had very mitigated, almost solved).

Did I do something wrong? I followed the instructions to apply the patches by disabling them all on 4.11.11982 and I added the KoboRoot.tgz file to the .kobo folder.

I tried however later to apply the patches to see if I had the landscape to read the pdf but nothing. In the end I was forced to a factory reset. Luckily Kobo Desktop exists because the Kobo refused to enter my account (it's the first time that Kobo Desktop is for something).

A strange thing is that it asked me to authorize ADE on my device to open a file without DRM (really without, not one to which it had been removed) and prevented me from reading it, while a book borrowed from the library, of course with ADE DRM, opened it without problems, but obviously losing the mark.

At this point I do not know if it was the fault of the firmware 4.11.11982, of ADE or mine that I do not have to do strange experiments instead of reading ...

Now I see that for the landscape I should write a couple of lines on the configuration file but at this point I'll wait for the official firmware for the KA1 to arrive and then apply the patches.

ps: thank you for patches especially geek1011
