And then we don't count the fact that without your patches it would be even a less device,because I will not even bother the update if you don't release the patches.. (did Kobo ever give an explanation/reason why it leaves such big gaps at the bottom of the reader while unpatched ?) Sometimes I feel like i am involved at a hobby project,not a serious company that try to make a decent reader. Last edited by Nick_1964; 06-14-2015 at 04:46 AM. |

I've added the missing `Fix kepub side bearing font cut-off bug` patch to the attachment in post #1, and included it below so you can paste it into your current libnickel.so.1.0.0.patch file:
Spoiler:
The patch has changed a little but I think it will work just as well. (The new patch employs the body>div selector instead of the div#book-columns selector to save some space.) |

Anyhow, I followed all the steps carefully and when I unplugged my Glo HD it started updating, but now I see 5 blocks getting black and white in the middle of the screen for as long as 10 straight minutes, does updating always takes this long or should I get worried? Edit; oh shit, I actually think you did not make a typo there, and this topic is for patching 3.16.0...... I am stupid. Did i brick my device permantly now?

Edit: There is a procedure for doing a manual factory reset for the Glo HD here. There might be other methods too. Last edited by GeoffR; 06-14-2015 at 08:20 AM. Reason: link to Kobo manual factory reset procedure |

`Search in library by default`
I've updated the attachment in post #1 to include the missing `Search in library by default` patch, and include it here for those who want to paste it into their current libnickel.so.1.0.0.patch file:
Spoiler:
There are now 5 search location options available when you tap the search bar: Bookstore, Library, Current Read, Annotations, and Dictionary. Which one comes up by default depends on where you were when you invoked search. The patch should cause Library to be the default whenever Bookstore would have been the default without the patch, but have no effect if another location is the default. I.e. if you invoke search from within a book it should still default to Current Read. Last edited by GeoffR; 06-15-2015 at 06:04 AM. Reason: spelling |

The last version of the patch on my Kobo Glo HD, with the `Search in Library by default` and `Fix kepub side bearing font cut-off bug` activated is perfect.
Thank you! |
