Just wanted to report another successful install of KoboRoot-ScreenSaver-20181216.zip on a Kobo Forma with firmware 4.12.12111 (and some patches)


Some things that may help other people in getting it to work:
- it took me a great number of sleep and power-off cycles (I'm guessing 8-10) before both modes were successfully scanned, i.e. don't give up/uninstall, just use your reader and it may start to work after a while
- especially the power-off scanline took a long time to register after the actual power-off event (I probably was too impatient on the initial cycles)
- sleep and power-off via the timed events (in settings) seemed to work better than via power button presses, I used sleep after 5 mins, power-off after 10.
- for the Forma, full screen images should be 1440x1920

My scanlines, for possible reuse (I checked and these are the same as the ones posted by @MGlitch for his Forma, so reusability seems likely, esp on the same firmware):
Spoiler:

Finally, @frostschutz: when the scanline for sleep/standby was already registered in screensaver.cfg but the one for power-off wasn't detected yet, I still got scanlines when the device went into sleep mode (before going into power-off). This is not a big problem but it was unexpected, so I thought it might point at something special in the Forma context? Although I saw the scanline on the screen, the actual code for standby in screensaver.cfg was not changed/added (at least the time-stamp in the corresponding comment wasn't).
