Hello All ... it's been a looooonnnnggggg time since i visited.
I have an older Kobo Glo ... the "kobo" graphic at the bottom of my eReader is white, not dark.
Quite a few years back, my device updated to a firmware version (I don't even remember which one) that "broke" everything. I came here and used the instructions to install an earlier version. I reinstalled the Nightmode mod and everything worked fine. I know I rolled back to version 3.something
Since everything was doing what it was supposed to, I turned off Wifi and simply sideloaded everything from either Adobe Digital Editions or Calibre.
I figured, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Well, something happened over this weekend.
I don't know if I was changing a setting and accidentally turned on the Wifi or if I fell asleep when it was on and bumped something ... heck, the cat sometimes turns the pages, so it might have been something she did! (and, hey! how come the cat brushing by turns the pages, but I sometimes have to touch it three or four times???)
Anyway, I grabbed the Kobo this morning on my way out the door. I was shocked when I turned it on!
BIG changes! It's been updated to firmware version 4.18.13737 (0f26e9d78c, 9/30/19)
After initial panic, I poked around a bit, I have all my books, including library books, and I decided it wasn't horrible.
Of course, Nightmode doesn't work anymore, as I knew it wouldn't.
I downloaded kobo-nightmode_build 13 and followed the instructions ... it didn't work. I uninstalled it and reinstalled it. It still doesn't work.
It's been so long since I tinkered with the "guts" that I don't want to go much further with out some expert advice.
My hubby and I
really like the Nightmode ... it's too bright, even at the lowest percentage ...
How do I get Nightmode working? Is there anything else I need to know about the newfangled Version 4+?
