Touch Kobo touch smooth/stable firmware?

i171459 · 11-13-2015, 01:57 AM

Hi, lately when I read about a couple pages, my reader will simply freeze for a moment, czb or epub.

My reader is N905B, and wikipedia says this model comes with advertisements.

So I was wondering if there is any smooth custom rom/firmware available...and how is that android port perform on kobo touch?

thanks

There have been a few reports like this with the Touch. I don't think anyone has suggested a particular firmware was better, but sometimes it was solved by the upgrading in the correct order. But, personally, I haven't seen any issues with my Touch. I don't use it much, but do test things on it enough looking for problems like this.

As to what is the best firmware version, I usually suggest the latest and have no reason not to for the Touch. But, before anyone can make a real suggestion, you missed telling us what firmware you are using.

I don't know if the add supported Touch was limited to the N905B, but I am pretty sure that Kobo has dropped that from later firmware. Or at least I haven't heard it mentioned for a long time. In any case, the adds were only displayed on the sleep screen and maybe on the home page. They didn't interfere in any way with reading.
