I see several people requesting an image of my Kobo Shine SD card. I don't mind uploading it, but the SD card I'm using is 16GB so I'm not sure if you could use that image on a smaller SD card. The actual Android installation only takes up about 4GB, I think. Let me know if you'd still like me to upload my image.  |
Thanks, I build your program with ndk (using :

Somebody with a real android knowledge may try to do something to switch off the light.
edit : I find a good software which can switch off the screen light (in fact it low it down to 1%, it's enough on my kobo to turn it off ) :
Display brightness

I find also how-to programmatically low the screen light on android :

I don't think I will use it, Display brightness is all I need
Last thing to find is something to switch off the green led
