It works well for me on a kobo Glo
I thanks all posters for the detailed instructions

I write the original image on a 4Go sdcard and it left 2Go free for user
For those interested, this is the partitions:

Unused 15M
FAT32 2.16Go Mein Tolino
ext3 384Mo
ext3 512Mo
ext3 384Mo
ext4 256Mo
Unused 16M

So the original image is 4Gb and the I suppose the partitions must be modified for using all the space of a card greater than 4Gb.

----------------

However some known problems are not solved:

1) Led blinking
-> Must find adresse of the port for this led...
-> otherwise I plan in last resort to try to desolder it (Have to remove motherboard)

2) Screen light can't be set to off
-> KevinShort app don't work for me currently.
-> I also try an android app called AndroidIOCTL.apk for writing to /dev/ntx_io but with no success.

3) The magnetic sensor for Sleepcover don't work
-> Can be solved with a custom apk if somebody can find the adress of this sensor.

>>>>>>>> (THE BIGGEST PROBLEM for me) <<<<<<<<<<<<
4) Landscape mode don't work
The image is rotated but not the IR Touchscreen

As i'm not very skilled on linux, I need help to try to solve this 4)

Do you know of a way to hack this (and where, IR driver ? Is it in kernel sources ? )
The IR coordonates must simply be rotated, if we can patch the driver.
or it's perhaps possible to write a wrapper between android apps et android api to rotate touch values.

There is a Tolino Shine thread on xda developpers

I can't post on developpers threads yet as i'm a new user
Can somebody ask the question on this thread ?
