NickelMenu: An integrated launcher for Kobo eReaders

[zampanoo]

Edit: Have now realized that I need to also edit the ereader's conf file in order to make the cloud storage work - found instructions for GoogleDrive and got it to work. Hurray!

----------------------------------------------------------------------

I am trying to get the Dropbox integration to work on my old Kobo Aura HD with current firmware 4.38.23555, using NickelMenu.

As I do not get it to work, I wonder whether I misunderstand something, and that only newer Kobo ereaders allow for this integration - I know that they now come by default with that option.

Please enlighten me! Thank you.

(If it's possible, what would the required config file line be?)

I’m trying to get a config to take with NM, but I’m running into errors. I’d be very appreciative if anyone much more knowledgeable than myself were able to have a look.

The config is titled config and though I edited it in TextEdit, I renamed the file to remove the file extension, so it’s a blank file. The file contains:

experimental :menu_main_15505_0_enabled: 0

The NickelMenu tab gives me ‘config error’ and ‘uninstall’. The error reads:
parse config files: file /mnt/onboard/.adds/ nm/config: line 1: field 1: unknown type (\rtf1 \ansilansicpg1252\cocoartf2639' (src/
config.c:327) (src/config.c:944)

I’m totally confused here. Thank you if you are able to offer any assistance.

Apologies. Solved it.

Perhaps it would be better to say what was confusing and how you solved it?

You have to press the button and then from the menu select the option to run KO|Reader.

You have to open NickelMenu and then select an action from the displayed options.

How do I find out which NM version I have installed?

[Nemo1984]

I'm using nickelmenu to start the browser in fullscreen. Unfortunately, when started in fullscreen, I cannot hide the keyboard. It's a problem I don't have when I start the browser in modal mode.

Any tip?

Thanks

Does google drive integration work with the Libra 2? I tried enabling it in nickelmenu for my sister's device, it launches the splash screen, but then doesn't go any further. Is there a way to get it working?

I've had a similar problem this weekend. It used to work but I think they may have changed something in the backend, because with the first sync, the attributes for google drive were removed from the config file.

Uh oh. Would this be the first instance of Kobo deliberately blocking the use of NickelMenu to enable features that Kobo wants to lock behind more expensive devices?
