This should work:

Sketch=tweaks.scribble()

You can find a list of all available commands in this post.

This nolonger works or at least I can't get it to work on firmnware 3.0.0. on touch! :-(

With firmware 3.0 the Touch has received the new home screen layout, so the tweaks plugin will no longer work.

Please, please, please. I hate the new busy homescreen on the Touch, I bought the touch because it was the cleaneast and the just keep adding more and more junk.

I want my tweaks back! (off to look in the firmware thread for a downgrade from 3.1)

I just sideloaded 3.1.0 on my Mini - it is not supposed to be for the Mini, but it works. And I am happy to report that the Tweaks work, too. At least, that is how I am launching Sergey's launcher.

The Browser does not launch and freezes the reader (needs pinhole reset), however Chess works, and so do the settings.
Of the other commands I had added, Reboot works, while koreader does not (but it did not work before the update, either). I suspect the Browser might be pointing to the wrong spot, as the browser in the new firmware seems revamped as compared to the one in 2.6.2 (on the Mini).

EDIT: sorry, koreader works, too, just found a typo in the command I used. So just to confirm, apart from the Browser command, everything else seems to work in the Tweaks with firmware 3.1.0 on the Mini

I would like to call tweaks.sleep() from a shell script. Is there a possibility?

sorry, maybe I do not understand you, but can't you do it with Kobolauncher fmon?

No, KoboLauncher offers "power off" but no "sleep". I know how to run a shell script on the Kobo (manually at any time or automatically on start-up), but tweaks.sleep() seems to be a library function and I don't know how to call it from a shell script.

This might be a bit off topic, but I try this thread to see if any of you could help on this. I'm looking for a way of intiating a database sync of books on the filesystem, i.e. the sync menu alternative in this plugin. But I want to do it from an external activation and not from user interface. This is due to that I side load books with scp to the device, and would like to follow that with a ssh and execute the FS sync. The other method I know of (pretending a usb plug/unplug) have the side effect of disconnecting wifi.

I was thinking of creating a stand alone executable linking to the libnickel.so and execute the

N3FSSyncManager::sharedInstance()->sync(paths);

. Would that work, after creating the

N3FSSyncManager

object or would that interfere with the simultaneous running nickel application?

I'm running FW 3.3 on a Kobo Aura HD.
