Vivlio Touch Lux 5 (PB628) - revert to standard PB?

Solent · 09-01-2023, 06:05 AM

I picked up a cheap Vivilio-branded Touch Lux 5 (Model PB628) while on holiday in France. It was linked to a French-language store which isn't much use to me, so I just upgraded the firmware to the latest version from the Pocketbook international website (6.7.1704).

But it's still showing a "My Vivlio" cloud icon, and now it won't log in to either that or the Pocketbook Store. (Dropbox and Adobe work fine, though.)

So my question is: can anyone give me any tips for completely removing the Vivlio branding / firmware and getting this reader to vanilla PB?

Thanks.

I can't offer any advice on the firmware side of things, but if you're happy to just "hide" the icons checkout this THREAD

You should be able to edit the file:
mnt/ext1/system/config/desktop/view.json

To hide an icon, just add an underscore to the start of it's reference in the groups section. e.g.

Code:

"PB_Gallery",
"PB_Library",
"_PB_Notes",

Notes would then be hidden.
