PRS+: Enhanced firmware for Sony Reader, Folders, Games & more - Page 204

VICTORSJG · 11-26-2011, 06:54 AM

Quisvir, what the functions of StandbyImage.js are operational on prs-505 al the moment?

Where should the file customtext.cfg be created? Is it possible to change it without flash the reader again, only to replace it for other? how many characters and lines can the file customtext.cfg have?

Thanks

Victor: Mark Nord has added a number of bugfixes and a patched writescreen file, so the current repository revision should be fully functional on your 505. The path for the custom text is the 'regular' PRSPlus folder on IM:

/database/system/PRSPlus/

quisvir, when I edit customtext.cfg, there are some strange symbols which appear in the screen after the text. Can it be because of the format (DOS/UNIX)?

Thank you.

quisvir · 11-26-2011, 08:55 AM

That's probably a line ending in the cfg file. The code to read the file is a bit basic, causing things like that to show up. It's a temporary problem though; I'm planning to change the settings to have separate standby & shutdown texts, change the file reading routine, and provide a sample file. And for now, if you remove the line ending, those strange symbols should disappear.

Well, that happens for being too fast

I'll wait for your changes.

BTW, perhaps I'm a bit dumb, but... how do the addon for saving notes work? I haven't being able to find the way to launch it.

VICTORSJG · 11-26-2011, 09:06 AM

Kartu, could you create a new wiki with the different folders and paths used for the scrips of the PRSPlus?

Terisa de morgan:
No launching is necessary. If you enable the relevant options, any text memo or handwriting you make will be saved in a new folder called 'Notepads', by default in IM.

Thank you.

Need UTF-8 encoding

Cyrillic text work fine in UTF8

VICTORSJG:

user.config:

Where do you have to store this file for readers WITHOUT SD-CARD?
You mention the PRS300. It doesn't have a card slot.

Would this file provide the possibility to quick-test applications and altered PRS+ without completely installing PRS+ every time?

This is an error on project web becuase i had the files as they are shown in the repository.

In your case use this method (http://code.google.com/p/prs-plus/wi...ldingPRSPlus):

The "Beta" Build

In build/ there is a build target called build.beta. After you set your prsp.properties, run ant build.beta - this will create build/dist/<your_model_here>/Beta

Place the Beta folder in your internal memory. Notice that PRS+ contains the following:

<variable name="prspBetaStartupFile" value="/Data/Beta/prsp.js"/>

This means you can work on PRS+ development without having to run the installer each time, as PRS+ will simply load from Beta/prsp.js instead. You still have to restart the device though. Unfortunately, I don't know of a way to get around that yet.

Thank you very much! That helps.

quisvir · 11-26-2011, 03:40 PM

For those interested: a new revision with separate standby/shutdown text options (including new customtext.cfg file) is now in the repository.

Analogus · 11-26-2011, 04:22 PM

Thanks quisvir!

Maybe you can help me:

Most helpfull would be to could bind the PRS+CSS-dialogue to a button. Any idea how to manage it?

A.

quisvir · 11-26-2011, 04:23 PM

Such an action is in the works, I believe (I'm not working on it myself).

Analogus · 11-26-2011, 05:02 PM

Ok, then better waiting then trying myself ;-)
