My flashing worked ok Thanks!
So, to power my 505 off I have to press the ENTER button for 5 secs? coz I do that and nothing happens until I press any other button and the screen turns blank. Is that ok? |

Yes, it is possible to make the 1 key a page forward button. And you can also then make the 1 key when held do what the 1 key normally does on a regular press. I can make this mod, but again it's use at your own risk.

For those who cannot get the image to install, I have no idea why it's not working. One one 505 I tried, I got a -56 error in the log and on another it worked fine. Then I applied the hack to my 505 and it went without a hitch.

Is the fellow who wrote the flashing software still around?

I too was encountering the FSK error. However, taking a cue from https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...7&postcount=67, I created a /tmp directory at the root of my 505, and tried again.
Worked fine. Hope this helps... Last edited by kfarmer; 04-29-2008 at 03:40 AM. Reason: typo |

I used to use one of the other images available on the web that turned the joystick into a page turner. I would love to incorporate this hack with your file.

Thanks
Had the 505 for a little over 24 hours and not having the clock visible while reading was the first thing I was wondering about. Your hack looks great.
Total n00b question. Is the clock always in 24 hour time? Thanks, Graham |

Thank you, thank you thank you so much for this. I had read up on the hacks but never had an easy way to apply them, this rules!! Should make this sticky or something.

I was wondering about that too, apparently if you go into Settings and About, you can change the clock setting from 12/24 by pressing 0.
