Thanks for the tip. I've red several threads and finally managed to get my reader as I wished: now it has custom logo, new modified icons, clock, joystick turning pages and uniform fonts.

In order to get custom logo I've took kBookAssets.png image from
jakewastaken message - https://www.mobileread.com/forums/att...1&d=1217645658
modified the top of it and saved transparent and interlaced in
files.505.1.1.00.18040\opt\sony\ebook\application\ resources\scripts

Icons file I've got from surquizu message - https://www.mobileread.com/forums/att...6&d=1217637398
this file I've also put into
files.505.1.1.00.18040\opt\sony\ebook\application\ resources\scripts

If you do not want to mess up with main.xml - here is mine file (use it at your own risk ): http://rapidshare.com/files/134479037/main.xml.html
you also shall put it in
files.505.1.1.00.18040\opt\sony\ebook\application\ resources\scripts

Ah, and always use freshly unpacked Flasher - after first flashing it writes something to the card that makes next try crashing (at least that was with mine card).

   <code>
      <function id="doRight">
         this.bubble("doNext");
      </function>

Where exactly do we paste this inside main.xml?

I just added it after the first "<kbookPage id="PAGE"". That right?

[stasys]

But I've wrote exactly where to put it..

[Peto]

Your's, but not Porkupan's. I put it there and I bricked. Hacked clock, fonts, icons, unified fonts and this at the same time, so who knows. Serves me right for going beyond my depth.

[Peto]

Unbricked. Dunno how but I made it. I've read somewhere that the problem should be on the embedded fonts. Will try the hack again without them and without the Joystick just in case. The rest worked before.

this.bubble("doNext");

right below the lines:
<kbookPage id="PAGE" left="0" right="0" top="0" bottom="30" href="x-id://bookData">

The good tool to edit .xml files is XML Marker from http://symbolclick.com/download.htm

You were right, Stasys. I'll try this. thanks!

[Peto]

Going crazy here.

Unbricked, re-updated, re-flashed, got the icons, unified fonts, my name and email, joystick, fast shutdown (I guess) and 4 fine vertical lines in the menu that show whatever was in them before you returned to the menu. Have you read about anything like that? Any idea where they could come from and how to fix it?

Thanks for your patience, all.

Peto, I had same lines when put kBookAssets.png not transparent. After that made it transparent and interlaced - lines disapeared.

Thanks for the help. What do you mean with transparent? I just copy-pasted an image on top of the reader section and flattened. Didn't change anything else (that I know).

I assume u are using photoshop . Don't flatten the image, merge them(as in the layers) and you won't lose your transparency

[jakewastaken]

Hell I didn't even merge, I just saved it directly a png. No lines.

Do not flatten - just save as .png

[Peto]

Thanks guys

I thought so. I will just merge the visible layers instead of flattening the image. Another re-update and reflash and I am done.

Finished

After the 2.0 flash hack is there any way to get a 24 hour clock instead of the am/pm display?
