I tried adjusting the patch two times, once with 'en' beside 'ru', and the other time with just 'ru'. The only difference is that there are less extra dictionaries available when I click on a word to get a dictionary (the Russian-English dictionary is still 'not installed on my kobo', according to said kobo).

Is it a "Russian" or "Russian - English" dictionary that's not installed?

Both. I can not access (x is not installed) a dictionary that hasn't already been on my kobo beforehand.

But you can still see the addtional entries (Extra: ru - English) in the pull-down menu? And if you explicitly choose one of these you still get the error message?

Exactly.

Everything's now working! Seems like the dictionary link I've downloaded was simply not working. Now I only need to find a Russian-English dictionary that contains more than a few basic words. Thank you all for your help!!!

Sorry if this question has been asked but can we add titles under the reading books on home screen? After hiding the "recommendation" section, there is plenty of space now and the books with just the percentage numbers look weird lol

I don't think the current patching system can make changes of this kind.

If your executable is added to the tools/ subirectory, is it enough just to add this clause to the 4.7.10413.sh script to make it work on the Chromebook?

case `uname -s` in
    Darwin)
	PATCH32LSB_BIN=tools/patch32lsb-Darwin
	;;
    Linux)
	case `uname -m` in
	    i?86)
		PATCH32LSB_BIN=tools/patch32lsb-i386-Linux
		;;
	    x86_64)
		PATCH32LSB_BIN=tools/patch32lsb-x86_64-Linux
		;;
	    armv7l)
		PATCH32LSB_BIN=tools/patch32lsb-ARM-linux
		;;
	esac
	;;
esac

Yes, I tried that and it works.

I understand I can use this to patch the A1 LE firmware (4.7.10364). But if I try this I get a compile error at some point. Please advise.

Since the 4.7.10364 was only available for the Aura One LE and I do not remember seeing a patch release for it, quite a few of the patches are likely not to work as the firmware they were modified for was 4.7.10413.

My process for when I try running an old patcher on a new release firmware is to run the patch script, record the errors, disable those patches and re-run the patch script until there are no errors.

Hello,

Has there been any change applied to libadobe.so.patch?
