Is there patches for H2O? This uses the same firmware version but the patches didn't install.

I just dug my old Aura H2O out and other than having to charge it from 15% to 50%, the patches I tried installed without issue using the same setup I used for my Sage.

How are you doing the patches? Are you editing kobopatch.yaml to specify which patches you want?

I just downloaded the H20 firmware and applied my patches and it worked. I did not install on an H20, but I don't see why it would not work.

Per JSwolf advice, moving a question about the patch working on Elipsa 2e to the appropriate thread. (See https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...irmware&page=3)

Just noting that all options changed do in fact work with the Elipsa 2e. While my use is limited, enabling the following has worked like a charm:

24 line spacing values
Custom left & right margins
Custom font sizes
Always show confirmation dialog before upgrading (which, of course, hasn't been tested)

As long as you are running the same firmware it will work.

Yeah. As noted above, I patched it on the Elipsa 2e, being certain the firmware was the same as installed per JSwolf's instruction, and it worked wonderfully. Go for it. The ability to finely tune type, margins is a wonderful things

Sounds good. I plan to patch my forma when I'm back at the computer.
in the meantime.... I'm curious why this patch isn't included in the megalist of patches...

Because that thread is old and nobody wants to keep it updated. I know I don't.

There will be a tread in the main Kobo forum for new firmware. When the patches are posted, the thread will be updated with the link to the patches and the patches thread will be in the Kobo Developer's Corner.
