I've been working intermittently on adding the time, but the biggest issues are: I need to find room to add the : between the numbers (and I'd rather not have to jump around, which will make it harder to update), and it only updates every page turn. I don't see the use of adding the battery percentage though.

Well, you could extract the patched files from the generated KoboRoot.tgz and inject them into the original firmware file's KoboRoot.tgz. This would allow doing the update/patch in one pass. I tried this once and it worked but really saved no time and involved more manual effort (manual effort is anathema around these parts ).
Do you think it would be useful to add an option to keep all firmware files? The main reason I didn't at first is I generally test the firmware without patches first, and it does make it take half a minute longer to generate KoboRoot.tgz.
