GeoffR, thank you, thank you!

Is there a way to hide / eliminate completely the header? it is very stupid to be written the name of the book, I know what book I'm reading. I installed on my KA1 "patch_kobo_4017729" leaving those enabled by default. How do I add more patches or enable others I have not enabled? Sorry for my English

The only way to completely eliminate the header from KePub books is to use full-screen mode, which also removes the footer. See this post for how to enable the full-screen feature. An alternative is to sideload the ePub version of the book; as the ePub reader doesn't have a header.

You can repeat instructions 3-6 in the first post as many times as you want to change the patch settings or add new patches, as long as your device is still running the same firmware version.

Uploading an ePub I have the problem that I can not use the line spacing.
The patch "Force user line spacing in ePubs" solves this problem?

Is it possible to disable page turning by swiping?
I sometimes accidentally turn the page in the wrong direction when I mean to tap the page.

Yes, but in a similar way that a sledgehammer solves the problem of cracking a walnut. (Edit: The patch has the same effect as stripping the line-height CSS style during a Calibre conversion.)

No, not that I know of.

If there is I haven't found it yet - and it's not for the lack of trying.

There's a lot of guesswork involved. I did find a few potential candidates but so far none of them had the desired effect.

Hi Jackie, could i have the patch for the header for fw 3.19.5761? Do I have to put it in libnickel, is it right?

No, put it in nickel.patch not libnickel.so.1.0.0.patch

There is one patch still missing, I think: the brightness fine control for the frontlight. Or did I just overlook it? Those 5% jumps it does now are somewhat large...

It's still missing sorry, I guess the code changed because of the new Aura One frontlight, but I haven't been able to figure it out.

I tried to uncomment "Enable uppercase for `ß` key (Top row, pos 7)" but it is not working. Mapped it to a symbol and all OK!
