I looked up the guide but it confused me even more, am I supposed to just create a blank text file and paste the code there? Please guide me.
No you're not supposed to create a blank file, you're supposed to create a file following a specific template. Please read the last comments for more informations (eg : https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...&postcount=150 )

Thank you! I followed your instructions and now its functioning. Also I noticed a brightness issue (when using NM), the app goes to 0 brightness. I searched the thread and saw that its a known issue in this version.

It might not always work but launching from the umr.png, keeps the brightness on, but on the exact brightness you already had on the stock OS. You cant change it within the comic reader. Still better than nothing for now until the dev makes a proper fix for it. I am on Libra H20 btw.

I've also hacked my way around to have a set brightness when launching from Nickel Menu (granted it was lost in a pointless e-fight). Here take a look

About the brightness being off upon launch. Yes like you mentioned it's a known issue. Only way to deal with it for now is to open any manga and then set the brightness using the top bar but it seems to be buged on the latest version.

Although you can tweak the actual brightness and color values your screen will have at the startup of UMR by configuring the ultimatemangareader.sh file.
For the libra h2o you can add the following lines (it shouldn't matter where as long as it's before
${UMRPATH}/UltimateMangaReader > $LOGFILE 2>&1) :
Code:
echo 80 > sys/class/backlight/lm3630a_led/brightness
echo 10 > sys/class/backlight/lm3630a_led/color
replace 80 by any values in between 0 and 100 for the brigthness. And 10 by any values in between 0 and 10 for the color/warmness (duh ), use a '.' , not a ',' if you want a fraction value.

Those lines should work for any devices having similar screen and driver as the libra h2o. Check the following link to get more informations about what file to "echo into" for other devices : https://github.com/Rain92/qt5-kobo-p...tions.cpp#L118
If your devices isn't listed.... Try to locate the adequate brightness/color/whatever files of your devices using either the following methods :
- telnet into your devices and search for the files, they should be somewhere within sys/class/backlight/*****
- use KOReader (enable "Show Hidden Files" and "Show unsupported Files" in its settings), and try to locate whatever brightness/color files within sys/class/backlight/***

I'm not taking responsabilities if your device catch on fire, you stubb your toe in the corner of a table, etc. If you don't know what you're doing you should probably don't try it.

It is not a "hole in one" fix as UMR will reset the brigthness and color to zero if you put your ereader to sleep... But it will do for now.

Too bad about removing MangaDex, just when they got at a very usable point again

Cool, I'll install it later today. Do you have any plans to get it working on the Elipsa?

I just noticed I'm experiencing some problems: basically if I lock my forma whil Ultimate Manga Reader is running I can't unlock it again. I lock the kobo and the illumination turns off, continuing to display what was on the screen when I lock it, then if I try to unlock the devices it shifts to some lockscreen image and then goes back to where I left off but a "connecting to wifi" popup appears and it stays there, with the device unresponsive. The only way to exit this is turning off the device by keeping the power button pressed down for a while. Is this a kown problem?
