Code:
Set slide to unlock:
  - Enabled: yes
  - Description: |
      Swipe to unlock is enabled by default for the Kobo Forma. This patch allows
      you to enable/disable swipe to unlock for any device.
  # In the subroutine where the AbstractPowerView (used for swipe to unlock) is instantiated:
  # pre-4.11.12111: change Device::isFrost() to a MOV instruction to set true/false
  # 4.11.12111+: change PowerSettings::getUnlockEnabled() (to override the hidden config setting [PowerSettings] -> UnlockEnabled)
  - ReplaceBytes: {Offset: 0x9CF344, FindBLX: 0x428304, ReplaceH: 4F F0 01 00}
  - ReplaceBytes: {Offset: 0x9CF346, FindH: 01, ReplaceH: 00} # 00 to disable, 01 to enable
Just change the ReplaceH to 01.

Kobo Aura One. If you apply the patch "Enable rotation on all devices" the touch screen stops working correctly. In landscape mode, scrolling is possible, but the top and bottom of the screen, where the menu does not work.

This has been reported a few times. It is inconsistent and might work correctly the next time you try. But, that is the problem with enabling unreleased functions, they don't tend to be complete or work properly.

Any chance for a patch changing the range of the automatic comfort light limits? I would like to have a slightly more yellowish tint during the day, while it shouldn't go to the current trumpish orange extreme in the night...

This has been requested several times over in the kobopatch request thread. So far there has been no effort on this as far as I can tell. The developers working on these patches are, I am sure, very busy and only working on things that are useful for most devices not those that are only useful on two or three devices. So I thought I would try to help with this. I discovered that there is mention of rgbfrontlight in both nickel and libnickel.so.1.0.0. There is also mention of RGBWChannelMixer in libnickel. The strings surrounding rgbfrontlight seem to be values regarding the display of the "Natural light" slider. So I think any patch restricting front light colors would likely be in libnickel.so.1.0.0 and be surrounding values relating to RGBWChannelMixer. This is as far as my tools/skills can take this. Perhaps one of the Devs can take if from here, or if they could point me in the right direction, I would be willing to dig deeper myself.

Let me take this opportunity to thank all of those putting in their personal time to help us customize our Kobos to our individual liking. You work is greatly appreciated.

There is a patch for a single device (the Forma, both buttons page forward.)

Features of the 4.12.12111
Hi, presently I have the 4.6.9995 and I was thinking to pass to the 4.12.12111, but are all the patches available in this last firmware?

Above all I use:
-customization of the popup window of the dictionary (both size and font)
-free advanced control on the all fonts
-wider small-big rate of space between the text lines
-complete control on the margins in order to exploit all the white space

(sorry for the wrong names, but I do not remember the exact names of the patches)

The simplest way to find out is to download the patch and check the config files, you don't need to install on the device There have been some patches lost between 4.6 and 4.12 but I don't remember which ones.

Concerning "Custom reading footer style" I can't find values for Forma. Are those the same as for Aura One or this patch isn't Forma ready ?

I'm new to modding the firmware and I had a question as to what exactly kobopatch does. A very novice question then.

"An improved patching system for Kobo eReaders." That says to me it helps make adding OTHER patches less effortful. Or does it itself come with patches that you can enable? Is there any one place I can see full list of patches that can be enabled that come with it?

Probably the easiest way to find all the patches available is to download the latest patch bundle. Then you can unzip it and look through the files in the src directory. Most of the patches are well documented as to what they do.

The package will contain patches from multiple developers and you would have to look at all of their individual sites to see what all the patches do. So downloading and looking directly at the file really is the quickest way.

Oh so the file is actually a package of mods possibly maintained by different folks all zipped up together to easily enable/disable?
