If I read your post quite carefully it looks like what really happened is that you found some code perhaps just commented out or is unused that suggests these title cover and contrast setting options. Would that be about right?

The firmware doesn't actually support these features. Maybe down the road an update will and again maybe not.

I don't know how many times I have coded a class or a function and then never used it because I found a better way to do it or just abandoned the whole idea. A huge grain of salt really needs to be taken here.
I'm assuming you missed the part where jhowell says "I don't know when or if these features will be activated."

I, for one am very appreciative of his efforts in unpacking and analyzing the update.
