Is there a full list available of all the current hacks/upgrades to the Reader? You know, something in a list format that is easily accessible without having to re-scan 4 pages of a thread (if this is the only thread detailing updates). Perhaps a sticky would be cool, or maybe it's already on the wiki (haven't checked yet). Thanks!

If it's not in the Wiki, that would be a good place for it.

I think the difficulty is going to be that a lot of the tweaks are changes to the same files, which makes them difficult to post a full list of. I suspect it's going to require some cleverness to come up with a comprehensive list, the best we're likely to get for a while is on the order of "okay, this file includes the tweaks for X & Y but not Z -- put it in directory such-and-such."

There are no books on the card to delete. I used an empty card.

Igor meant that you maybe need to delete book on the internal memory. I believe there has to be 15 MB free space in order to use the flasher.

Actually, all the changes made can be made together. I took the menu font changes and the page count change and put them together since the page count change put the font size back to normal. So I can post that one if you want to put it in the wiki as well.

Oh, yes, that's so, I didn't mean to imply that at all.

What I was trying to say is if someone wants change A but not change B, then they'll need a different file than the person who wants B but not A or both A and B.

What I did to figure out the changes made was to do a diff on the two files and then I found where the changes I wanted to put in were and went and did it. What we could maybe do is make a set of files that has seperate changes and a set that combines them all.

You could also have asked me.

Ah...I understand. Now the flasher seems to have installed OK (Having deleted the books on the internal memory). Now all I have to do is learn how to fiddle with the settings.
One thing though. When I replace the other memory card in the reader none of my books show up, even after a restart. Does this mean I have to reload all my books back onto the SD card and the internal memory via the Connect software?

Is there a site with full docs for the flasher, and perhaps an inkling of what internal file changes what (in English)? ;-)

EEk!!! Sorry everyone I posted too soon. My reader has found all my books Just took a while to find them. Looking forward to finding out what else this little prog will do.
Thanks igorsk for this nice reader tweak!

You guys are lucky!

I did a couple of flashes from the SD card (interspersed with a couple of flashes over USB with the original firmware). And all of the sudden I started getting "stat_fs not found", although the files were still there. Flashing the original firmware didn't help, and neither did copying of the universal flasher back and forth to the card. All in all, I made the image that I wanted and flashed it via cable, but totally lost the adventurous spirit

DiabloNL, you experienced the problem. What was it that solved it for you?

That's a really good idea.
