I have on my KT the firmware 1.9.16. I download the last file KoboTouch.zip here and install is on my Kobo, but I can't see the tweak.
What is wrong? |

How did you do the install? Did you open the zip file and copy all the contents of it to the .kobo directory on the Touch?

I open the zip file and copy the tar.gz into the.Kobo directory.
or must I copy the directory tree+file? Last edited by gorzka; 02-15-2012 at 03:53 PM. |

What I recently have found is that if the device is booted from power off with SD-Card inserted, the plugin couldn't be activated. If I boot from power off without the sdcard, then go into library, the plugin starts. After that I can insert the sdcard and the plugin remains functional as long as I don't power off. So in order to get the plugin working, I now always boot from power off without sdcard, then insert it after activating the plugin. Sleep mode and waking from it works fine even with sdcard staying inserted. Last edited by voom; 02-16-2012 at 08:19 AM. |

yep, that was it.
I can see Tweaks in the START button, but when I touch the Tweak button the reader freeze and after 10sec. reboot the reader. I have found it. Do not touch the tweak button in home menu. go to the library and then you can create librarys Last edited by gorzka; 02-17-2012 at 03:17 AM. |

The tweaks-menu is messed up in the last version, you can edit the .ini-file directly instead; after editing the .ini power off and reboot and go to library again to activate the new settings...
A new tweaks-menu is in the making by ah- I for now use the previous to last version because I have not started to use shelves anyway and can wait for the feature becoming more solid or included by Kobo in one of the next firmwares...

Another approach might be to try and write to a state file - write to the file when you start loading the plugin, before you do anything else, and again when it loads successfully. Next time you boot up the device, check that file - if the plugin didn't load properly last time, don't try and load it this time? Hopefully thereby preventing the need for the occasional factory reset... All of this, of course, assumes that there *is* a way to have a plugin, or something similar, load automatically... I'm definitely interested in looking around, seeing what I can figure out as well, but I thought I'd see what all other people had figured out. Also, has anyone put together any kind of package of the files needed to start developing, or is everyone setting things up manually every time? |

It might be possible to get it loaded sooner by posing as a Qt plugin, but I'm not sure if it's worth the effort. Quote:
I hope that's all, if you need more assistance I'd be happy to help. |

Since I was looking at it anyways, I finished some stuff and I'm happy to announce a new version!
The biggest change is that now there's a much better GUI for controlling all the options, so manually editing any config files should be unnecessary. It's mostly using the same widgets as nickel so everything should look and behave similar to the native settings dialogue. Installation is the same as always, download Kobo.tgz.zip, extract the zip, copy Kobo.tgz to the .kobo Folder on the device and eject the reader. |

Uninstalling deletes the plugin shared library (libtweaks.so) and reboots using busybox reboot. Quote:

Also about the INI, I'm not sure what to do with it. Creating the ini file automatically creates versioning problems when the options change in the future and the ini gets out of sync. Also I'd prefer if it were unnecessary to edit any config files by hand. Thanks for your input, I created issues on github for most of your points so hopefully they'll be implemented in the future. |
