Add manually to the file libnickel.so.1.0.0.yaml the following patch (it is not on the file You find there) paying attention to spaces

Code:
Never sync dictionaries:
  - Enabled: no
  - BaseAddress:  {Sym: "SyncDictionariesCommand::prepareDownloadList()"}
  - ReplaceBytes: {Offset: 922, FindH: 0CD5,     ReplaceH:       0CE0}   #permissions
  - ReplaceBytes: {Offset: 900, FindH: FFF6CAAE, ReplaceInstNOP: true}   #size
  - ReplaceBytes: {Offset: 866, FindH: 3FF4DBAE, ReplaceInstNOP: true}   #isSynced
This is the site of the patch creator where You can find it (the patch is added for dictutil use but it works also without it):

https://pgaskin.net/dictutil/dicthtml/install.html

The whole process of patching is more difficult to explain than to do, after You get the concept. And of course if You patch the Kobo for dictionary You could give a chance to other patches if You like them.
Should I change it to enabled: yes? Also, I'm already on latest firmware, can I skip the firmware update?
