You must copy the file "KoboRoot.tgz" within ".kobo/" directory, and reboot. In theory it will be work on new 4.x firmware.

You need to copy the KoboRoot.tgz file into the .kobo directory on the ereader. When you eject your ereader, the file will be detected and the installation process will run. Many of the files are installed into the Linux partition on the ereader which is not accessible from the exposed FAT32 partition.

hi all, thanks for your replies. In this folder called KoboRoot there is a lot of stuff like an etc folder and an mnt folder and a udev,

but not a KoboRoot.tgz.....

So I tried dumping the whole KoboRoot folder into .kobo

Still no nightmode....

If you see a folder KoboRoot, your extraction tool extracts more than it should (namely the content of KoboRoot.tgz instead of the content of the zip-archive). Change the settings, or use another extraction tool.

thanks tshering, I decided to try downgrading to a previous firmware. That succeeded so now I have nightmode working again, will never upgrade anymore!

It will work, but with the Aura One it does not work!

only like that:

# config file for kobo-nightmode
[state]
invertActive = yes
retainStateOverRestart = no

The problem is the other light control of the Aura One.

Where does this version come from? Did you create it? Coming from a brand new poster, and with no provenance for it, I would have to recommend that no-one use it.

Now, if this is just the version that has links posted several times in the last few days in this thread, then you really should have just replied to one of those say "it works".

The original is from here. It's a modified version of mine. I have the nightmode.ini customized.
I have changed the file screenInv.so.
It is tested on all my devices. It is save.

Excuse me, but it's all in German. I'm from Germany.
It includes updates to handle the recent changes in the kernels that were made in 4.2.8283 firmware? And what is different about it? Why should anyone use this version over the one that has been linked to earlier? That version does work on all devices.

Edit: I was curious so I compared the version you posted with the version that I was referring to. They are the same except for the nightmode.ini. And the screenInv.so is the same. I know the background of the other version, so I don't know what is going on here. Maybe it is explained in the German pages, but I don't have time to let google translate for me at the moment. I'll try that tonight.

V3.? is V2. Only the nigthmode.ini is different.
Or the screenInv.so of V2. Is in the V1. with modified nightmode.ini ?

V2 is from here : https://github.com/gtalusan/kobo-nig...r/KoboRoot.tgz

V1 is from here : https://dbeinder.github.io/kobo-nightmode/

It can be that I had an older version V2. which is not yet on Kobo Firmware 4.2.8432 has been run.

Only files were exchanged, because it did not run first.
The code has not been changed. It works with the "new" Kobo 4.2.8.423 kernel.

It's just yet with the Aura One, is probably the driver for the illumination in the Kobo kernel different.
I can not fix this with copy and paste. I only play. I am not a programmer.
We all want someone who can solve the Aura One problem.
It runs on all other Kobos.

davidfor: Excuse me for my Google English.
That is the answer and what I was trying to work out. What you have done is taken someone else's work and repackaged it. You have given no attribution to where you got the files from. Your post made is sound like this was your original work. And your post was several posts below the posts linking the original version. The only difference I can see between your and the version from https://github.com/gtalusan/kobo-nig...r/KoboRoot.tgz is in the nightmode.ini. Here you have specified your values and stripped a lot of information about how to configure the hack.

As to the screenInv.so, the "V2" version was created explicitly for the updated kernels. That means it is for any Kobo ereader running firmware 4.2.8283 or later. I don't know if it works with earlier versions of the firmware. It should work with the Aura ONE.

"V2" does not run on a firmware version older than 4.2.8283 ! On all devices.
It works with Aura One, but not in conjunction with the brightness control !

"V2" Is this version: https://github.com/gtalusan/kobo-nig...r/KoboRoot.tgz

This Is the "V2" version with a only different nigthmode.ini. ??
(Is now the version "V2" only with another nigthmode.ini, or something else?)

Edit 1 + 2:
A question: Are all changes for the Kobo kernel of FW 4.2.8283 included in the file screenInv.so?

Edit 1 + 2: Which variant is that? With 19,037 bytes? Which is not running ... in the "Attached Files". This was my starting material. In it I removed files and exchanged them.
So I wrote in the German Post about a variant of 18 KB, (which is attached here) which no longer runs.
I compared them with the "V2" [github.com] (15 KB) in the German Post.
Attached Files
File Type: zip Be careful not to install Nightmode Root.zip (18.7 KB, 160 views)
File Type: zip nightmode.ini.zip (924 Bytes, 189 views)
