Sketch
I've written an alternative to Sketch Pad called Sketch.
It was tested on the Glo HD and the Aura ONE (firmware 4.3.9084). The advantages over *Sketch Pad* are:

I personally use a modified version of koreader.sh as the launch script (and fmon as the launcher).
Please also note that there's no UI: all the meta-operations are performed with the power button. Last edited by baskerville; 04-25-2017 at 05:43 AM. |

What are the advantages over the "stock" sketch app?
Please post what firmware version did you made it for. |

I do not know whether sketch is expected to work on Kobo Touch. I am just reporting that it does not show any drawings on the screen. It does however create drawing-date_time.png files (EDIT: the show only a white screen).
It is in 16-bit mode Code:
[root@(none) ~]# fbset mode "800x600-0" # D: 0.033 MHz, H: 0.034 kHz, V: 0.055 Hz geometry 800 600 800 1280 16 timings 30000000 8 164 4 18 4 1 accel false rgba 5/11,6/5,5/0,0/0 endmode |

I've attached a debug version of Sketch that prints evdev events on standard output. Could you try that version and do something like:
And post the content of crash.log? |

Thanks, it was very useful: I didn't realize that both of my test devices were using what koreader refers to as the phoenix touch protocol. And according to koreader/frontend/device/kobo/device.lua, most of the devices are using this protocol.
I've added support for the old protocol in the version attached in the original post. But there might be another problem specific to the Touch: most of the devices have the x and y axes swapped, but koreader sets touch_switch_xy to false by default for the Touch. Maybe there's a way to tell if a device has the x and y axes swapped based on its PCB? |

Phoenix is the codename for the Kobo Aura, btw. It was the first device to use that protocol, hence the name.

Maybe. KOReader developers tried to find a way and ended by making the user press the right bottom corner in order to establish whether xy has to be swapped. |
