This is should work:

files:
  # MiniClock files
  ../kobopatch-custom/root/usr/local/MiniClock/devinputeventdump: usr/local/MiniClock/devinputeventdump
  ../kobopatch-custom/root/usr/local/MiniClock/fbink: usr/local/MiniClock/fbink
  ../kobopatch-custom/root/usr/local/MiniClock/miniclock.sh: usr/local/MiniClock/miniclock.sh
  ../kobopatch-custom/root/etc/udev/rules.d/miniclock.rules: etc/udev/rules.d/miniclock.rules
  ../kobopatch-custom/root/addons/miniclock/miniclock.cfg: .addons/miniclock/miniclock.cfg

Correction on the last line:

../kobopatch-custom/root/addons/miniclock/miniclock.cfg: mnt/onboard/.addons/miniclock/miniclock.cfg

I never realized that the file wasn't copied, because I already had the config file there from when I installed MiniClock the old fashioned way. Sorry!

Just make a typo and you will have the desired firmware

So, which files do I have to add to the patch to get the clock?

Thank ou very much

Check Github for any changes before you run the patch.

I've attached the modified kobopatch.yaml file here (kobopatch.yaml.txt since MobileRead does not allow .yaml files). Download it, copy it to your kobopatch directory and remove the .txt extension.
Attached Files
File Type: txt kobopatch.yaml.txt (3.7 KB, 46 views)

Is this file for use it without modifying the others yaml?
Thank you for your answer

You are not good to go. If you look at the first post in this thread, you will see that there are two new patches since the previous version. Add those in and decide if you want them or nat and then you should be good to go.

Sincere appreciation to all who have contributed the great work on these patches! I just patched my Aura ONE LE and all the new patches (since I last patched about 2 years ago) are great, and the instructions could not be more clear!

Perhaps I missed it, but are there patches for the following -

1. Change the font on the Home screen menu (top upper left, 3 lines next to Home, as well as the various options in this menu)? Looking specifically to get rid of the Italics for each option).

2. Show reading activity/stats on the Home screen.

Thanks to all involved in these patches! Recently got my kobo and applied a handful of these, loving the easy customization compared to my old kindle.

Just one question: Does the "Remove recommendations (row1col2) from home screen" have no effect for anyone else? I still see recommendations/top50 on my home screen, even though the log suggests the patch applied successfully. Not a big deal, just wondering if this is known/expected or not.

This patch only removes the one which shows with less than 2 books visible. It does not deal with the special ones which appear on newly set-up devices or a few other conditions.

1. You'd need to ask jackie_w (although she might not be interested in home screen patches).
2. Use the SmartLink patch to only show stats.

This is not a patch I'll be adding to the official pack because Kobo have (had?) a general GUI rule that "if it's in italics it means it does something when you press it". I don't particularly want to promote official kobopatches which go against this.

OTOH, I do believe that if you buy something you're allowed to do whatever you like with your personal property, so I'll PM you.
