Hi everyone,

Long time lurker here. First, I must say thank you so much everyone, for all the help. Especially Davidfor, for his Kobo utilities!

So, I usually use KOreader and that is fine, but ever since sideloadmode came I'm starting to find the stock OS attractive again, mostly because it's so much more easier on the eyes and relatively speaking more user-friendly in many ways.

That said, I like privacy and ever since Kobo utilities let me block analytics I'm a bit relieved.

However, the one thing that I can't stand in the stock OS is the activity page. Even though I'm not sharing any of the stats with kobo, having to look at that page bothers me a lot. I just want to read a book, not facing an "eye" reminding me that everything I do on the device is recorded. It's like relieving yourself in a toilet with an eye painted on the wall. It makes people wash their hands!

So, I figure I have to options.

Either wait for som good doer inside this forum to find out a way to just hide the activity page or I'll just have to downgrade to 4....18 is it, where the activity page is voluntary? But then I'll not be able to use sideloadmode anymore and have to put up with kobo store.
