Notes and other patches

Notes:

The following two patches are no longer needed because of changes to the firmware:
* `Brightness fine control`
* `Search in Library by default`

The original `Custom Header menubars - reduce height by 33%/50%` patches didn't work with the new home screen, but have now been updated (including in the attachment to post #1) and should work with both home screens. See post #43.

The `Dictionary frame size` patch has also been updated (including in the attachment to post #1), see post #69.


Other Patches:

For these two patches It might be best to wait and see which home screen you get (and that might not be determined until after the first sync + reboot following the upgrade to 4.3.8842) and then only apply the appropriate patch if you want to change. At least one report of problems with the `Enable new home screen` patch..
`Disable new home screen`
`Enable new home screen`

Keyboard patches:
`Cyrillic keyboard` patch for Aura One, thanks AxaRu.
`Greek keyboard` patch for Aura One, thanks isaak.

Here is a `Keyboard template` patch (libnickel.so.1.0.0.patch) for the Aura One. (You'll need to fill in the replacement values with the keys you want according to the pattern in the comments.)
