Kindle -- KOReader: a document reader for PDF, DJVU, EPUB, FB2, HTML, ... (GPLv3) - Page 22

AlwaysWannaRead · 11-25-2013, 12:24 AM

Temporary workaround for PW2:
Change in frontend/ui/input.lua

Code:

287 Device:setTouchInputDev("/dev/input/event0")
288 input.open("/dev/input/event0")

to

Code:

287 Device:setTouchInputDev("/dev/input/event1")
288 input.open("/dev/input/event1")

Nice find.

Great, the 20131122 build works on PW2 with NiLuJe's & AlwaysWannaRead's changes.

Thanks guys!

Will these make it into the nightlies?

There needs to be some refactoring to make it work on both PW and PW2.

P.S.
Input device fix was taken from CrazyCoder's CoolReader.
All credit goes to him.

I only got this when I tried to use koreader for ancient Greek and German Fraktur (Gothic). Usually there is also an entry that is correct, but it gets swamped with nonsense. Apparently, the font is not recognized well and the garbled words cause sdcv (Stardict) to spit out whatever comes close.

Could it be that you changed the language settings to chinese?

I have used the new version KoReader in the pw2 and it works finely. Thanks

But I find i can not exit to the native system. If i press the home button,it will return to the FileManager, not to the native system .Return native system only by hard reset. Any help

hawhill · 11-26-2013, 11:01 AM

There should be another top menu in the File manager, again offering a "Home" symbol that should exit the reader. Is the menu present?

no, as far as I can try no menu on the file manager page.

NiLuJe · 11-26-2013, 03:09 PM

It should pop up if you tap the top of the screen (kinda like the Kindle menu w/ the defaut reader, actually), and in that one, there's a tab with a Home icon.

Try to tap the very top of the screen. It's a little bit hard to get it out, but the menu is there.

UPDATE: I forgot to mention, I'm using the latest nightly build (644).

NiLuJe · 11-26-2013, 03:55 PM

(The latest rounds of PW2 fixes were merged very recently, so I'd imagine you'll also need the latest nightly).

aceflor · 11-26-2013, 05:03 PM

OK, it works with 644. Thanks

Sorry ，I found it. There is another home button at the top of the filemanager.
