Hi everyone
I made a useless app once again. I wanted to know how well an app could be integrated within Nickel.
So I made a fake book, which displays a map, with which you can interact. Once you quit, your reader goes back to the normal reading mode.
EDIT : And the day after I published this post, Geek1011 released NickelMenu. Which is massively more helpful and is integrated in Nickel a much better way. But anyway what follows can still be interesting, who knows...
Here is a demo: (

It is availaible on
github .
But do not expect to read the code, I did it very quickly and it is quite badly written.
I built it with my python librairies, which are available here:
PSSM
As for how I managed to prevent Nickel from registering touch events, I used
that.
IT WILL ONLY WORK ON A H2O, simpy because I do not own any other device and I can't adapt my librairies to handle touch events on other devices !
It requires NiLuJe's Kobo stuff (thanks again for your work!). and my Python librairies. You should decompress all my stuff in "/mnt/onboard/.adds/mavireck"
So at the end you should have :
"/mnt/onboard/.adds/mavireck/Python-Screen-Stack-Manager"
"/mnt/onboard/.adds/mavireck/Book-BingMaps"
"/mnt/onboard/.adds/mavireck/Kobo-Input-Python"
In the KFMon folder in my github there are the required files : "bingMaps.ini" goes into your KFMon config folder, and "bingMaps.png" goes in "/mnt/onboard/icons/"
If you really want to use it, delete all the jpg files, then check bingmaps.py. The first few lines are the ones you can tweak (like centerPoint and zoomLevel).
Have fun!
