Instructions for patching firmware 4.33.19608 - Page 2

mietek81 · 06-03-2022, 09:01 AM

As we had a new firmware version released I hoped that something changed in polish translation of the interface but after a quick glance at the menu I believe that nothing changed.
So the question is: is it safe to load to the device my fixed translation from the previous firmware version or is it better to do it from the scratch? And if the latter then what is the way to get the current qm file from the device?

Is there a way to patch ePub so hyphenation works with the text left justified?

The KePub word spacing patch is great. Thank you @jackie_w.

Hi!

Thank you so much for kobopatch, it's very useful!

I'll just tell you that in the section of the patch allowing to change Wikipedia search language, the description says to modify the 'en' in the lines below, when in fact it is an 'es'.

It doesn't bother me at all, but I'm a perfectionist and I'd want someone to tell me, so here I am!

Have a good day!

My Forma got stuck while installing the patch. It shows "Updating, do not turn off", and the power button light is blinking for about an hour. Is it bricked?

Before you installed the patches, did you make sure you were running 4.33.19608? If not, you will have to reset your Forma.

Here are the directions to reset the Forma.

I am sure it was the right version, but I ended up doing a factory reset anyway. All the way to 4.13. Not sure the issue was.

Thanks anyway!

second attempt of installation went through just fine. I checked all the steps and see no difference with the first attempt. Still do not know the issue was, but at least I am back to stable ground

Hello,

Please forgive me if it has been discussed already and I missed it, but I just wanted to know if the following issue was fixed:
https://github.com/pgaskin/NickelMenu/issues/111

It's related to the Invert Screen toggle that no longer works after firmware 4.26.16704 (which I am still using).

It a crucial feature to me and I unfortunately can't upgrade my Forma anymore since Kobo decided to change the way this feature is handled.

Do you know if it's gone for good, or if there is still some hope?

PS: I can of course help testing or trying to adapt if needed, but per the github issue, seems out of my skills.

You need to ask in the NickelMenu thread and also read the entire thread.

Yep, I have read this, but the goal was to stay away from Nickel Menu, Plato, Koereader and other stuf... My preferred option still being a "simple and invisible" patched firmware

Thanks anyway!

I would still say to install and use NickelMenu. I don't apply any patches either but NM is just there and survives any / all updates.

Yep, I think I'll give it a try. For now, playing a bit with Koreadear and Plato to see, or if I just stick with a "barebone" Nickel Menu.

Thanks for the heads up!
