I don't think there is any way to fix this with a patch. My guess is that it is a design fault with the way the KEPUB reader renders pages: it seems like it renders the whole html file at once and then tries to split it into separate pages afterwards. The KEPUB reader is based on the WebKit library which was designed for web pages not ebooks. The EPUB reader does it right, perhaps because it is based on RMSDK which was designed for reading ebooks. Edit: There is another KEPUB bug which I think has the same cause: If there is a link near the top of a page you can trigger the link by tapping at the bottom of the previous page. Edit: The Kobo firmware uses a very old version of WebKit. Perhaps the problem will be fixed when they update to a newer version. Last edited by GeoffR; 07-04-2015 at 11:02 PM.

No problem to edit it, but a big negative point if you are in bed and open the book for the first time, if lineheight is to small,your book turn into unreadable. |

I would like geometric sequence refresh rate, unfortunately, i don't know how to do this, i put it on yes but it doesnt work, anyone would be so kind to help me out here?
<Patch> patch_name = `Custom page refresh options` patch_enable = `yes` # cmp r5, #7; bne.n; --> cmp r5, #6; bls.n; replace_bytes = 7532EC, 07 2D 9A D1, 06 2D 9A D9 # # Values for replacement: (Alternative 1, arithmetic sequence e.g. 1,2,3,...,12) # Base (use this value for the first menu option): replace_int = 75321C, 1, 1 # Increment (add this value to get each successive menu option): replace_int = 7532EA, 1, 1 # Maxmium (stop adding options when this value is exceeded): replace_int = 7532EC, 6, 12 # # Values for replacement: (Alternative 2, geometric sequence 1,2,4,8,16,32,64) # Base (use this value for the first menu option): #replace_int = 75321C, 1, 1 # Double to get each successive menu option: #replace_bytes = 7532EA, 01 35, 6D 00 # Maxmium (stop adding options when this value is exceeded): #replace_int = 7532EC, 6, 64 </Patch> ---- Also, when i edit the patch files, and double-click 3.16.0.bat again to make a new KoboRoot.tgz, all i get in the target folder is a usr folder?

I noticed that starting from 3.12.1, you introduced a hyphenation patch for the kepub reader that allows automatic hyphenation for left-aligned books, which is marvellous! May I asked how you figured out the patch and if there is any hope of achieving something similar with the regular epub viewer?

Hi everyone. I am using kobo glo HD.
I am trying to see the structure differences between .Patch files from GeoffR and the .txt files from others (like tshering) and don't know how they are structured. I am new to both the kobo firmware and the forum. What I am trying to do is to fix the Vietnamese font appreance in book titles, Pocket article titles like huuduc1kk2 did here. Though I managed to add more Vietnamese fonts and read books in those fonts (Arial, Times New Roman) Because the firmwares are different (I am using 3.16.0), so my effort to copy Patch content from huuduc1kk2 to GeoffR's was failed. Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks. P/S: I follow the guidelines from tshering for the patch 3.15.0 and I could now see Book titles, Pocket article titles in Vietnamese, though the Sleeping mode, Pocket title is not in Vietnamese yet. If I could understand the structures of the patch, I would have figure it out. Last edited by jupiter276; 08-01-2015 at 09:42 AM. |

However there is nothing in the built-in stylesheet used by the EPUB reader that affects hyphenation, whether it is off or on seems to be decided automatically by the epub hyphenation code depending on the justification of each individual paragraph. If you can find a way to make the EPUB reader hyphenate left-aligned text by changing the book's stylesheet then it might be possible to make an addition to the built-in stylesheet too, but I don't know if the EPUB reader allows that. |
