Hi everibody,
new to this forum.
I`ve a kobo touch, installed the malekgibek new image.
Seems to work fine but cannot connect to play store, no big problem to me.

What I`d like to change are the sleep and off default pics.
How do I do it?
Thanx for your help.

Check the "Misc" section at "The Tips" of the 1st post.

thanx 4 your reply.
Tried as you suggested, but the system doesn`t let me copy, remove, rename or unistall the app from the system\app folder.
Tried with titanium B and root unistaller too, but nothing...

In the ES Explorer you have to enable the "Root Explorer" option at the left sidebar (inside the "Tools" group)

tortnoise · 09-25-2015, 08:34 PM

Tried with es explorer with root enabled but didn`t work.
The problem seems to be the system apks are locked and cannot be unistalled nor deleted , I tried with play store too and same result: cannot be unistalled.

The other option is to mount the android partition with linux (I use vmware) and change the file there...

tortnoise · 09-26-2015, 09:38 AM

I`ll try from linux, I should have a puppy distro somewhere on a usb stick.
Thanx a lot for your help.

Found the solution.
Es explorer works but 2 steps root activation are required.

Use ES File Explorer..

Select menu-> Switch on Root Explorer under Tools.

Again click on Root Explorer.

A pop up window will appear.

Select Mount R/W -> Select RW option from the new popup for '/' and 'system'.

Now onto your operation. You will now be able to move the files without failure.

Hi

I am trying to find a working recent Android image for AuraHD/ It looks like all the links posted there are expired or no avail.

Does anyone have a recent Android image for AuraHD internal Sd?

thanks

Has anyone tried installing alternative launchers? I plan to try some.

I also will try to use different keyboard apks too.

I find the existing front end on the Aura HD unusable (so tiny!). The Nook ST uses Relaunch which is a non-graphical front-end. It's not pretty but it uses less resources.

Has anyone had success about Android on Kobo Mini?

Hi

I installed everything one year ago, but now I would like to install new version of Colordict and unfortunately I can not. Is it possible? Maybe I make something wrong? I downloaded new version (4.4) according to information on the first page, and when I try to install I get information: parse problem.

My aim is to export history list of searched words - in version 3.7 (I have on Kobo) it is impossible from the colordict interface. Maybe it is written in some txt file, but unfortunately I also can not find on disc any files connected to Colordict.

Any idea what can I do in this situation?
Thank you in advance for any help.

Hi all, I'm new to this forum (and the website actually

).
First of all, I would like to thanks the developers, I am successfully able to use android on this Kobo Glo because of you people.

I have a query, is there a way to reverse the light button behaviour during startup.
i.e. I would like to boot in Android without pressing the light button, and into regular Kobo OS by pressing it.

I am sure you understand why this required; I mostly boot into Android, so just to save the hassle everytime.

rashsaga · 05-07-2016, 07:40 PM

Hi all,

I have accidentally modified the files inside /system/usr/keylayout/keychars and keylayout while working on an app. (I should have made a backup, idiot!

)

My power button in no more working.

Can someone kindly share these two folders?

PS. I'm on the verge of making a useful app for Glo with Android.
