Koreader's current stable version will not work on a KA1. Use one of the latest nightly builds instead.

I installed the new firmware. I charged my reader to 100%. I put it to sleep. 10 hours later the battery is at 40%. That's not good. Good thing I can roll back.

Update: A simple power off and on seems to have fixed the battery drain problem.

What do you mean "fooling around with"? You should change back to the other mode and then it works like that forever. The device should only change this when you upgrade to database version that the 4.x firmware uses.

Interesting. There is no reference I can see in libnickel or in /bin/kobo_config.sh. And I can't decide what the coordinates say about the resolution.

If you use win 7 or above with Calibre it'll make no difference.

Journal mode is one of the parameters of the squlite database that is the heart of our KOBO readers. At some point in the development of the firmware journal mode was switched from 'delete' to 'wal'. I do not understand this completely but 'wal' is supposed to make for a more stable database so less corruption problems.

Since I'm a Luddite and still use Win XP with an earlier version of Calibre v2.0, the only version 2.x that will or might work with XP, this is important to me. I'm probably the only person that this applies to.

In the last two versions of 4.x the change is reverted auto-magically. This makes it a bit of a fight to get Calibre to recognize the reader so instead of fighting I switched back. I can live with 3.x until I get a Windows 10 box.

I'm fully aware of the DB journal issue; it was just I wasn't expecting that to be your issue. Remember one option would be to disable the Kobo driver in calibre and use the connect folder as device option.

The update package does include a kernel for the Glo HD. I do not know if this has been updated. Anyone who uses this, does so at their own risk.
So does this mean no more updates for older models (such as the H2O) until a full release is made?

I second bad battery drain. I am going back to 4.2.8110

I did not do a factory reset.

Not sure about the negative coordinates in the snow entry in the RcS file.

Code:
	case $PRODUCT in
		kraken|phoenix|star)
			export COORDINATES="80 870 70 70 200 870 70 70";;
		snow)
			export COORDINATES="180 -1200 100 100 320 -1200 100 100";;
		dragon|dahlia|alyssum)
			export COORDINATES="120 1220 100 100 280 1220 100 100";;
		daylight)
			export COORDINATES="100 1640 200 200 300 1640 200 200";;
		*)
			export COORDINATES="55 685 60 60 150 685 60 60";;
		
	esac

No, it means there have been no updates for any of the other devices for a year now. But, you could get away with using the previous 4.x updates. Trying this with 4.2.8283 is likely to lead to problems. But, it is unlikely to cause the device to be bricked. The changes are in the graphics handling code. It probably means display problems and crashes but nothing worse than that. And the Aura H2O is probably one of the most affected, especially if you use one of the nightmode hacks.

That's surprising. I ran in that mode with the betas for a while with no problems. There must be an extra check somewhere. Did it happen after restarting the device? I have a feeling it sometimes does a compress during the startup. It might also "fix" the journal mode at the same time.
