I have read the thread and am ready to try the patch. However, I don't see which one disables the home screen. Can you possibly point me to it? |
Download the following patch from the link in my previous post:
patch_kobo_4038966
Unzip the file.
Go to the following folder:
4.3.8966_source
Open the following file:
libnickel.so.1.0.0.patch
About two thirds of the way down the libnikel file you will find the patch:

But be aware that this patch is just for this firmware version. It is NOT for the newest firmware version. Not sure if you can disable the new home screen in that.
