How can you get FBreader180 on the 301+

[Jabby]

I am trying to get at the FBreader advanced menu on the PB301+. Apparently it is not present as it is on my PB360.
Is it possible to flash 360 firmware (FBreader180) on the 301+? Is there any other way to get FBreader180 firmware on the 301+?

Thanks - John

You have to install FBreader180 directly. It is not part of official firmware.

Get it here:

or, there is different version here:

I think those should work with 301

Thanks kacir,
I have it on the 301 but have lost the ADE. A long press on the book title gives me two choices; fbreader180 and fbreader. If I select fbreader180 I get a message that says "cannot start program". If I select fbreader it starts up with all the features of fbreader180.

I have no idea what is wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I finally got it figured out and as usual I made it twice as difficult as it really is.

I am sending along a zip file composed of three files: fbreader.app (latest version I could find - V.11.2), extensions.cfg and update notes. After installing, a long press on a book, will show the fbreader as the first choice and adobe viewer as second choice. This works on both the PB301+ and the PB360.

This is all other peoples work, but I can't remember who to credit. But I wanted to put everything together in one place for anyone who wants to update their FBreader.
