1. copy the Fsk.img of the installer in other folder.

Change in this what you want (FSK\sony\ebook\application\resources (.xml files) or FSK\sony\ebook\application\resources\scripts (main.xml, icons and logos)
   
3. Then with mkcramsfs.ese FSK Fsk.img will pack again the all files unpacked before.
   
4. Now you have to create a md5 file checksum. Drag and drog Fsk.im above md5Sums.exe, so it will open a window with a serie of numbers and letters.
   
5. Open with notepad the file Fsk.img.md5 content in the folder of installer, and editing with the new code generated before with md5Sums.exe.
   
6. Copy the new Fsk.img into the folder of the installer replacing previous.
   
7. And introduce a sd card with previous all files, and follow the steps run installer with expert mode, update firmware PRR+.

Note you have cywgin, cramsfsk, mkcramfsk, and md5sums.exe and the different libraries. this tools you can get http://code.google.com/p/prs-plus/so...d#hg/505/tools

Thanks, Victor. When remaking the Fsk.img file, I get the following:

C:\Users\dow.HOME\Desktop\New folder>mkcramfs.exe FSK Fsk.img
warning: gids truncated to 8 bits (this may be a security concern)

Should I be concerned about this warning?

Why so complicated?

If I get you right, you only want to change "Reader" and maybe some of the symbols?!
(such as my attachement for example)

Please do me a favour and follow dwanthny's link - it's foolproof!!!

OK, you was right, I managed to build my version. It is really well prepared!
Here are my modified dictionary files.
Modifications:
1) user interface - buttons:
-next/prev for cursor change
-mark for clear input
-left/right for prev/next word
-up/down for result lines scrolling
-menu for exit
-center for translation
2) dictionary file changes
-I'm compatible with current dic file.
-you can put multiple 'meanings' of word into one line separated by tabbelator. All manings are displayed together in result window. Each particular meaning starts with asterix (BTW: would be nice to use bullet insted but I don't know how) on new line.
-I'll put tommorow (I hope) program (Windows command-line) for translation of current dictionary to new format. I'll put here EN-CZ dictionary as well.

Advantages of my sollution:
-smaller dictionary file (15% in my case)
-faster searching (because of smaller file)
-easier usage

Thanks

I like your modifications !

[m-land]

Here are programs to convert 'old' dictionary format to 'tabbed' dictionary format (and back). Windows .NET framework 2.0 version only - sorry.
Second file is English -> Czech dictionary

I hope you mean screenshot of working dictionary. It looks quite similar to old one. Here are 3 pictures: translation where are 2 results (each multiword) and two pictures (first and last 'scrolled' screen) of translation of word 'set'.

m-land, with these modifications is it posible to use both types of dictionaries or only i can use the tab mode?

You can use both types. I only have to mention asterix in result even using 'not tabbet' dictionary file. If you have 'fixed' 1.1.1beta than you can give it a try simply running core/addons from SD card. (BTW: great feature kartu!!!)

[kartu]

Beta tester's pack v2 is available for download.

All known bugs were (hopefully ) fixed.
BookHistory got it's own settings folder
BookHistory got option to skip book menu.
BookHistory is disabled by default. (privacy)
DictionaryCL m-land's dictionary code is included.
DictionaryCL sandbox icon & help text was updated
A number of minor fixes.

I just made other new skin for m-land's changes dictionary.

translations

OPTION_SKIP_BOOK_MENU: "Passer livre menu" (french)

OPTION_SKIP_BOOK_MENU: "Saltar Menú del Libro" (spanish)

[klawong]

After exchanging the folder "beta" and the file "user.config" I have to cope with the problem, that PRS+ is gone.

It happens immediately after reading from SD when I disconnected USB...

When taking the old beta-Version anything is normal again.

translations OPTION_SKIP_BOOK_MENU in Catalan (also includes the correction of a little translation error) and spanish
