- Is the cache on IM or SD/MS?
- If on SD/MS, what do you have the scanning options set to?

The cache is on SD, the scanning and mount options are activated

Thank you quisvir!

If you'll do it for the 350 I could test it ;-)

A second thing:
Icon-binding on the reader-home-page seems to be defect. When I, say, assign the function 'books' on the 3rd (right) place, the icon is that one used for notes. If I assign this function on the 2nd place (middle) the icon is as it should be (book-icon).
There are other examples, some functions seem to work correctly, others not.

Edit: I misunderstood '600+' --> quisvir you are a genius!!! Thanks!

I suspect it's to do with the calibre plugin then, but I'll do some testing. Could you give some steps that reproduce the problem? More specific than the 4 steps in the other thread, that is, so that I can follow those exact steps in testing ('update books' is a bit too vague, for instance).

Analogus:
600+ means 600 and newer, so the 350 is supported. Actually my earlier comment was incorrect (thx Mark), and all models with paging buttons are now supported.
And I'll look into the icon issue, thanks for reporting it.

Tested at 350 with new actions: Next Chapter and Previous Chapter, and it works like a charm, thank you very much, quisvir

Simple and I do not think it is the plugin as I stated because if I reboot with the original firmware (ie plug the cable), all is working nicely.

Steps:

Install the pluggin
Connect the reader
Use the pluggin option Set unread collection or select some books and mark them as unread or read, the idea is to have a modification with some read and other unread books
Disconnect using calibre et voilà

It is quite simple, the reader is simply crashing/getting stuck when loading the SD. I am wondering if this it not linked to the modifications introducing the read book collection but as I never used it before I can't pinpoint a specific modification.

quisvir · 01-06-2012, 03:25 PM

I can't seem to reproduce the problem, sorry. I've tried various combinations on SD, switching read/unread, with manual option in PRS+ enabled, but no crashes.

So it seems it is my reader, my books or my configuration...

I'm afraid so. But if there's anything I can do to help, don't hesitate to ask

There is a way to uninstall PRS+ using the PRSPInstaller folder, that is inside the zip file you downloaded to install PRS+ in the first place. Open the installer zip file using 7-zip (or whatever archive program you use) and then double-click on "update.zip". Now extract just the "PRSPInstaller" folder. You will need to copy this folder to the root directory of your reader using a PC.

Now, while your reader is still connected to the PC, browse the PRSPInstaller folder and locate "installer.sh" and open it in a text editor like Notepad++.

There is a comment in this file telling you how to uninstall PRS+: simply comment out line 5 by putting a '#' symbol at the start of line 5. Save the file.

Now disconnect the reader from the PC and restart your reader. You should find that PRS+ no longer starts up. So connect the reader to the PC again and remove the PRSPInstaller folder and PRS+ will be gone for good.

Note, though, that the firmware has not been re-flashed. You will still need to run the latest Sony firmware updater to overwrite the non-standard firmware. (If you get an error message saying "Your device is up to date", the instructions in the first post of this thread - here - while for the 600 should also work for the 650.)

IF ANYTHING HERE IS WRONG, CAN SOMEONE PLEASE CORRECT ME!

Sincerely,
Ben.

Unfortunately, it didn't work.

PRS+ now has the ability to jump to the next/previous chapters? If so, how do we get this version as the latest downloadable version I see is 2.0.17rc3. Also, can the volume buttons be mapped to chapter next/previous? This is for a 650.

Custom version at this moment, I'm afraid. I don't know if it will be at 2.1 release, I'm an impatient girl who gets the new changes as they appear, I'm afraid

albogango:
I would help, if only I had a clue...

JSWolf:
Yes and yes, but not until v2.1 (apart from custom builds).

/edit: Terisa beat me to it

When you say copy this to the root directory of your reader, where exactly do you mean? There are several folders inside.

Analogus · 01-06-2012, 04:35 PM

Root is the reader 'itself', no subfolder. Copy it so there should be on the reader folders named 'Digital Editions', 'database' and your folder from PRS+.
