Way to go Officer. I had completely lost the free time I had to try and do anything on my side. The experimental handle for the libra 2 seems to be working. I'm also seeing the issue with no keyboard on search. But I can navigate and find stuff well enough. Great work!

I installed this again on my Kobo but no onscreen keyboard is showing up when I want to search for something. Anyone knows how to solve this? I'm using a Forma

Try previous (v2.16) version. It worked on my kobo without any problem.

I can't get the app to fit the screen on my Kobo Clara 2E. Is this app still being developed?

I'm no expert at all, and trying to fix an issue on my Elipsa as well, but I believe the following should fix the issue of the UI scaling to make it fit onto your Clara 2E screen: open the ultimatemangareader.sh file (found inside of .adds/ultimatemangareader, from the latest release package), and edit the line that says

export QT_QPA_PLATFORM=kobo:logicaldpitarget=xxx

and replace the xxx with a different value (will take some tinkering to figure out which one is the right one for your device, on my Elipsa its 108 and the UI shows up fine). Try a higher value first, then a lower one?

Good luck!

Any chance to have the keyboard issue fixed?
Thank u

I'm also having the same keyboard issue on the 2.17 release. I went back to 2.16 but it'd be great if I could update so that I could use the fixed sources.

Hi!
I own Kobo Libra 2 and have installed 2.17.2 release also tried the prior one with experimental touch handler. However, the app opens but freezes on arriving at the main page. Would have to reboot the device entirely if I want to get out of it. I'm a professional developer maybe I can help speed things up for KL2 compatibility? I'm not big on shell scripting and C++ but there might be something I can help?
Would just like to enjoy my manga on the go like tachiyomi.
Thanks!

Log so far:

kobofb: Finished initialization.
using experimental touchhandler
Already connected to Wifi.

I've also tried playing with the QT_QPA_GENERIC_PLUGINS and QT_QPA_EVDEV_TOUCHSCREEN_PARAMETERS values. I did see the latter actually have an effect on the inputs, where I could actually get the rotation and invert correct with parameters set to the following:

export QT_QPA_PLATFORM="kobo:logicaldpitarget=108"
export QT_QPA_EVDEV_TOUCHSCREEN_PARAMETERS="/dev/input/event1:rotate=90:invertx=1"
export QT_QPA_GENERIC_PLUGINS="evdevtouch:/dev/input/event1"

the problem with these seemed to be that it wasn't always consistent, in that it was triggering extra inputs from locations closer to say the middle of the screen/selecting to open something. Looks almost like it's an every other type of thing, maybe two different "event#" things happening where one is rotated correctly now and the other isn't? But event1 is the only one I can seem to set of my various options (0-3, and mouse0) that actually gets it right some of the time.

At least if I can get to a book, I can read it and just use the buttons for navigation.

The other fun one is that when I have the above so it's mostly working, it looks like starting nickel back up after closing the app is causing a crash to where I have to put the kobotoot.tgz back in and reload nickel. So who knows there.

That's enough for tonight, I need some sleep before work tomorrow.

Hi, can't quite make mine work . Can you contact me to relay how you got yours setup to debug the problem? maybe, I can help?

I got mine working by moving to the newer version of the software that Officer released. Then enabled the experimental touch stuff. Which mostly works, except for the keyboard issue others are seeing. But more than usable for me.

Hi,
I've got a Libra 2 and I've tried the experimentaltouchhandler and using different versions but I am still unable to have a working touchscreen. I'm not sure what to do now

weird... I did this also but no success on my end unfortunately... by any chance perhaps were you using KFMon(right now, I'm just shooting in the dark on what could've been different)? I reverted to the 2nd latest but no success on my end

[CherryHuntress]

is this working for the Kobo sage? has this been abandoned?

[doctoralvarez]

It’s a great work, do you know or are you working something similar for kindles? Thx in advance

I compiled the code on the master branch in this repo (https://github.com/Rain92/UltimateMangaReader/), and it fixed the keyboard bug on my device (Kobo Aura Edition 2). The compilation process was not straightforward though, so if you are not familiar with the build process and don't need to access MangaDex it would be easier to rollback to v2.16.0 (or if you do want to read manga from MangaDex, you can add them to your favorites using v2.16.0, then upgrade to v2.17.2 (your favorites list won't be affected by the update))
