How to get the time to display

synic · 06-05-2009, 04:43 PM

Is there a way to get the time to display on the status bar while you're reading a book?

there was a hack posted on a russian forum to do this. it was mentioned in one of the therads in this forum. look around youll find it.

Not really..there could be small important things only a human translation might do right. And i dont want to mess up my reader because of a stupid machine translation.

I looked at Google translation, it seems ok.

Here are the steps from that version:
1. Download the base package russification (or this if you want to download the firmware with the clock). Unpack the zip-archive to the SD or Memory Stick PRO card to the conservation of directories.
2. If a reader is off, turn it on.
3. If the reader is connected to the USB, unplug it from USB.
4. If the card is not in the slot, insert it into the slot.
5. Expect the menu to appear.

From here it's clear in the machine-translated page.

I have applied this to 700, used SD and it took 30 seconds. My main reason was to have Cyrillic, having the clock on bottom right corner is a bonus.

At the end:

You want to flash your reader with an unauthorized modification that voids the warrenty. you want to take a risk. and if you read the google translation its fine. I've read worse "guides" written in english.

if you want to do a modification before there is a firmware update so you can restore you are taking a risk.

So the Clock is a bonus...then what does it do mainly. Messing anything up? Not that i end up with my reader completely in russian after this.

My reader is not Russian after the flash :-), menus and every thing else are still in English. But it also has Cyrillic fonts so it can display Russian books correctly. Also, I have an option of English/Russian virtual keyboard.
