So right now device goes into nickel and I also have a bunch of .png images displayed as books, like appbar.align.right.

What steps should I take to recover the start menu functionality?
I don't know whether KSM 9 is working with the most recent firmware. My guess is that it might work with some models and won't with others.
If you still would like to restore KSM try the following (I am not certain whether this procedure is sound. I did not really follow the developments of the last months. Or years?)

Step 1:
Prevent that nickel will again reads files from dot folders into the database, by inserting the change described here
and at the same time (don't disconnect the device from the pc in between) rename the folder .adds to .addsx. Now disconnect the device. The expected result is that nickel removes appbar.align.right.png etc. from the database
Step 2: rename .addsx back to .adds and copy KBStartMenu_09_restore.zip (you can find it in the first post) to .kobo
