Hi folks, I'm currently running an older (ca 2021) version of KOReader on a Nook Glowlight Plus reader, which runs Android 4.4. I currently rely on KOReader's Terminal plugin to access some of the device's functionality that isn't otherwise exposed in a good way (e.g., to set the warmlight level by running a command).

As of 2022, it looks like the Terminal plugin was replaced with a newer, much nicer version -- except that it no longer runs on Android <= 4.4.

I'm wondering if it's possible for me to get back the old terminal by simply grabbing an old (pre-2022) copy of plugins/terminal.koplugin and dropping it into a current version of KOReader?

Or any other suggestion for how I can run commands from within KOReader to configure the device when there isn't an existing interface?

Thanks.
