You only have to copy inside nickel.patch the code linked by GeoffR in message 2.

If you read message 3, you'll see that oren64 says that the patches work in this FW. I sincerely doubt they are going to create a new message / file to change a comment.

Code:
/* found: 91 (zlib) pos: 4c1655 */ Once you've succeeded in modifying nickel via pipcat, using GeoffR's makepatch v0.02 utility can greatly improve the chances of your patch surviving from one firmware to the next without needing to re-do the pipcat part, but only if Kobo didn't change the contents of the CSS stream.

This patch
`New home screen removing the footer (row3) and increasing cover size` Significantly increased my Glo HD's response time with anything related to the home screen, including waking from sleep, which was still a seven second delay even after upgrading the FW. Now that process takes about 3 seconds. All other actions, relating to the home screen, such as returning to the home screen from a book or the book list, are also significantly faster. |

`New home screen removing the footer (row3) and increasing cover size`
i also wanted to give oren64's new patch `New home screen removing the footer (row3) and increasing cover size` a try. So i copied it into the nickel.patch, but all the compiler said was:

EDIT: Forget about it, just found out oren64 was right, the `New home screen increasing cover size` mustn't be activated at same time.... Last edited by the_Pan; 10-14-2017 at 11:11 AM. |

I'm patiently waiting for the Cyrillic keyboard layout patch (Glo)
Actually I could (want to) do it myself if someone point me out to an instruction how you guys do this. I'm techie so I will learn it fast and gladly contribute. Thanks! Last edited by thorindwarf; 10-14-2017 at 04:48 PM. |
