Tried it, works nicely!

Thanks again.

`Freedom to advanced fonts control`is not working with the OTF files on my Aura HD on 3.1.0. Can someone confirm this?

Have otf fonts ever worked with this patch? See posts #66 and 68 for a previous discussion.

With the release of firmware 3.1.1, the XOR has been changed to 9C and the address for the ReadingFooter has been changed to 0x13FD538.

Have fun!

I've included this in the attached kpg.conf for firmware 3.1.1 (761b066420), it has the footer, line spacing, font size, margins, page break, advanced font controls, wifi insomnia, brightness fine control, search library by default, margins fine tuning, and download all in browser patches.

Here are two extra patches I use on my Glo, for firmware 3.1.1 (761b066420):

A replacement for the standard line spacing patch which is a little more complicated to configure but allows an extra 4 values on the line spacing slider;

Spoiler:

<Patch>
patch_name = `My 14 line spacing values` 
patch_enable = `yes`
# Bypass code-injected values 1.0, 1.2, 1.5, 2.0, 3.0

#                       3.0   1.25
</Patch>

and a patch to prevent the AndroidBookLoadTablet_Aspect.parsed cover image file being downloaded or generated, which fixes a problem with the cover image for kepubs not being displayed on the book details screen if wifi is turned off.

Spoiler:

<Patch>
patch_name = `Avoid generating/downloading redundant cover image`
patch_enable = `yes`
replace_string = 1104FA4, `AndroidBookLoadTablet_Aspect`, `N3_LIBRARY_FULL`
</Patch>

The footer patch seemingly does not work with my AuraHD

I tested it on my Glo and it works OK. Did you use one of the example footers or did you create your own? Note that I changed the replace footer examples in the patch based on some examples posted here earlier by jackie_w which include a padding option to put some space between the line number and the bottom edge of the screen. If you don't want that padding then just set it to zero.

You should just be able to copy the patch you were using for the previous firmware and just change the "replace_xor_58 = 13FA550, " part to "replace_xor_9C = 13FD538, " to make it work on firmware 3.1.1.

What about the patch of brightness fine control and search in Library by default?
Thanks

I updated the file in post #605 to add the brightness fine control patch.
