Sorry about the short explanations, but I explain myself very bad in Spanish, you can guess in English

VICTORSJG · 10-09-2012, 03:23 PM

I have installed the new modifications on prs 505 and they run ok, the only problem is the maximun capacity of the installer using the 3d icons, the capacity goes beyond the maximun. I don't know it is possible to make the same that on prs 300 was made.

thanks

PD: Can somebody explain me something about the merry actions?

With, or without the 7z.-binary?

Unfortunately no, there are no "unnecessary" Demo-Mode-Files in the 505ed Fsk.img.

With 7z-binary

is there any program to extrat both zip and rar files, without need two different programs?

pd: with the new modifications on statusbar_pageindex, selecting VALUE_CHAPTER to select the pages left to the next chapter, in the last page of the each chapter show (0) pages left, the before version nothing was shown (only when pages left was greater than 1).

7zip will handle both zip and rar files.

I recently ran into a file with the .mzp extension, and it seems that only a pay program, WinArchiver, can extract .mzp... talk about annoying. I installed a trial version, unzipped the .mzp file with it, and deleted the trial.

I've tried on my computer to extract with 7za (in comand line) a rar file, and it didn't.

To optimeze the size of the pictures i've compressed with Photoshopt using png-8, menu file --- save for web and devices -- select png-8, on the reader It isn't seem the changes.

Ripplinger · 10-10-2012, 03:05 PM

I no longer have 7zip installed to test it myself, but I do know I have used it in the past to open zip and rar files, but I took this from their website:

Quote:

The main features of 7-Zip (version 9.20)

High compression ratio in 7z format with LZMA and LZMA2 compression
Supported formats:
Packing / unpacking: 7z, XZ, BZIP2, GZIP, TAR, ZIP and WIM
Unpacking only: ARJ, CAB, CHM, CPIO, CramFS, DEB, DMG, FAT, HFS, ISO, LZH, LZMA, MBR, MSI, NSIS, NTFS, RAR, RPM, SquashFS, UDF, VHD, WIM, XAR and Z.
For ZIP and GZIP formats, 7-Zip provides a compression ratio that is 2-10 % better than the ratio provided by PKZip and WinZip
Strong AES-256 encryption in 7z and ZIP formats
Self-extracting capability for 7z format
Integration with Windows Shell
Powerful File Manager
Powerful command line version
Plugin for FAR Manager
Localizations for 79 languages

In their FAQ, it looks like there are instances when it can't open some archives that contain incorrect headers, where other programs might disregard errors and continue. Maybe that's the issue?

VICTORSJG · 10-10-2012, 03:53 PM

I want to use it on prs 505 not on my pc. this is the difference

Alternatively, is somebody able to provide me with a pre-built version for my PRS-650?

Thank you.

sherman

did you, by chance, update ant dependencies? As described unter Optional Tasks in the ant-intallation manual?

If so, delete your ant folder and unpack a new one, skip the command

Code:

ant -f fetch.xml -Ddest=[option]

as, for unknown reason, this will break the build script.

It works now.

Complete battery drain overnight with a 650.

Will return to 2.0.18.

Analgous, will your custom fonts work with this version?

Mark Nord · 10-11-2012, 02:19 PM

Fbone

Please provide some more info:
how long are you going with 2.1.01a?
have you tried a simple shutdonw/restart or (soft-)reset (reset-button and power on again) direct after the installation of PRS+ or after your problem?
are you charging via USB or main-charger?

As said many times before, spontaneous battery drain is also reported for stock-reader, and I personaly use PRS+ 2.1.x from the very first day. Only coming once across this. After reboot, there are no further problems.

About fonts: fonts for epubs, altered by CSS, will work also in 2.0.18, but you will have to open another book and return to the first one, to apply the change.

Sure.
Installed 2.1.01 on Oct 6th. I never installed an earlier version. Had to do a shutdown for the fonts to appear.
Fully charged on the 7th using USB.
Completely discharged on the morning of the 8th. The 650 never went into sleep mode. The last page was still displayed although ghosted.
Recharged and shutdown/restarted.

I noticed the standby timer is set as "default." I changed it to 1, 5 and 10 minutes and the 650 worked fine on Oct 9th, 10th and today.

It could have been a coincidence. I've never experienced a complete drain before but have only used the device a few times in the 2 years of ownership. I never started it in all of 2011.

What is the 650's default time to enter sleep?
