Kobo Patcher

[PeterT]

You changed the wrong area. Remember.... the lines in the config file read

replace_zlib = location, ORIGINAL_VALUES, NEW_VALUES

So you don't change the section in the ORIGINAL_VALUES area, rather in the NEW_VALUES area.

What the error is saying is that the data in the existing file does not match the ORIGINAL_VALUES settings, and this is because you changed the font sizes in it.

The examples given, all of the NEW_VALUES are way way shorter, and simpler CSS than the ORIGINAL_VALUES.

See posts https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...5&postcount=82 and https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...7&postcount=83 for more discussion on both the syntax of the patcher, and a "pretty printed" version of the CSS. Remember that the \n's and \t's are nothing more than new lines, and tab characters to make the CSS easier to read to the human eye.

It would be nice to have the page counter and no line in between the text, as Tempest@de pointed out. Any idea on how to acheive that?

Thank you PeterT, since I couldn’t make it the way I wanted end up removing the footer.

I deleted the section for the "Remove footer" in order to prevent the syntax error with the "Decrease footer" patch, and used values of 20/18 for the theight and font size.

I really have bad luck or I’m incredibly incompetent with this things. Since I removed the footer my glo froze several times. I opened the book I was reading, read the first page and tap to pass the page and it froze, I restarted it and opened the book again, the same thing happened, since this was a book that I was reading before installing the patch I didn’t think the problem was in the book, but to be sure I tried with another book and it froze when I passed the first page. Tried with another book and the same thing. So I removed the patcher and opened the first book and it worked fine, so I opened another it didn’t freeze anymore.
I’m not sure if the problem was with the patcher, if I did something wrong or if it’s not related since nobody reported this happening.

I applied patcher version 7, it works fine (kepub). Yet it removes the chapter in the footer which looks ugly to me, as there is still the hyphen left. I would like to get it back. Any idea?

Problem is we are limited to the patches made available by the author

To revert the patched settings all you have to do is change

patch_enable = `yes`

into

patch_enable = `no`

and reapply the patch.

Does that mean, you can disable the header of a KEPUB?

[JLuecking]

@anak
I want the footer patch, but with the chapter included like before.

@ibu
I do not want to disable the header in a KEPUB, so I am fine.

I think I go back to the previous patch, I did not see a difference so far with the last version.

Hey, guys new Kobo Aura HD owner and found this thread. I am trying to install the patch but the instructions are not very clear. Do you drop the unzipped file anywhere on your Kobo? (unzip and place the libnickel file somewhere?)

Better yet can anyone just break-it-down step by step in plain English instead of auto-translated from Russian?

I would very much appreciate it. (and please excuse my lack of understanding! )

Thanks!

I am tempted to write a perl script that does the same. It is just hex editing of the content, where the representation of int and zlib changes have to be specifically taken into account.

A bit more time and that should not be too hard. For patches that are using `replace_bytes` that is trivial.

Maybe ask author for source files

See this post in the "Summary of Modified Fonts" thread.
