Something odd has happened to my rooted t1.
I no longer have the choice between AGWLauncher and Home when I hit the middle button (I didn't check the default box). It just uses AGWLauncher and I have no access to Sony's software. When I open a book, I no longer have the choice between Coolreader and Reader. No access to Sony's software at all. When I try to open Sony's reader software from the icon in AGWLauncher, it just gives the message "Please wait..." and nothing happens. I don't know why this happened, and I don't recall messing around with anything. Just reading books. |

Root Explorer is a pretty decent file manager. I don't see why you can't install another one. Quote:

Or you can edit the file /data/system/packages.xml, empty out the "preferred-activities" section. Or you can install the rescue package, and re-install the root. It's up to you. You should be able to call Content Manager from the AWDLauncher though. |

Code:
key 105 DPAD_UP key 106 DPAD_DOWN If you are familiar with Linux and vi, you can boot into the recovery mode, log into the serial terminal, mount /dev/mmcblk2p10 on /tmp/system, go to /tmp/system/usr/keylayout directory, and edit this file. Even easier, and not requiring any Linux knowledge whatsoever: you can remove sdcard\updates\system\usr folder from my install package after unpacking it, before running the flash_reader.bat script. This will install the root package without modifying any button functions. |

I do appreciate having Coolreader available since it has more options than Sony's software. |

After going through this thread and all the files in Boroda's "minimal set 1", I am still unsure if this hack can do what I need: Basically, I only want to replace (or add) the system fonts (those used for LRF display). Running Android applications may be nice and all, but for the moment, I would be content with getting my favorite fonts to show without having to embed them in all books separately. Porkupan's comment about Asian fonts (post #34) suggests that it is indeed possible with this hack, but the reference is very vague. Could someone elaborate, please? Boroda? Thanks.

The root should open you the door to do anything you want on the T1. It let's you become ROOT in Linux - is there any more power than that? You can log into shell, you can flash new files, replace font files (in /ebook/fonts), remove, add fonts - whatever you please. As far as what the root package actually does with the fonts - it doesn't do anything. It was not the purpose of root to change the fonts. Its purpose was to open the door, so you can change the fonts. BTW, I don't know where the CSS files for the fonts are, and where the Resource root for Adobe API is on T1. I assume the fonts change is achieved via replacing userStyle.css, as it is done on the nook. But I haven't been searching for its location yet. |

Ah, but before updating you should have removed the "updates" folder from the "internal memory". You can reapply the rescue update, then remove the updates folder, and reapply the Root.
BTW, I updated the packages last night, added checksums checking for updates files. If you get the new root package, you will need to remove the line with gpio-keys.kl from sdcard/tmp/checksums file. Last edited by porkupan; 10-29-2011 at 11:50 PM. Reason: details added |

It seems EbookDroid has been added, which is very cool. Thanks! One thing that's odd is that the "Reader" app doesn't load when called from AGWLauncher. It just says "Please Wait..." but nothing happens. It loads fine from the Content Manager. Last edited by darseno; 10-30-2011 at 07:04 AM. |

Reader App requires a file reference to be passed into it. If you start it on it's own, it just hangs. Sony bug, I suppose.
