This patch will not work with the patch `New home screen increasing cover size`.
@GeoffR I think it best if you add this patch to file nickel.patch, with explanation that the two patches are alternatives and can't be enabled at once.
Thanks a lot! It have worked like a charm I have installed patch just a few moments ago.
And now my home screen again doesn't have rows that I don't need.

Only reading and My books
This is a variant of `New home screen removing the footer (row3) and increasing cover size` patch then you can't use with it or any related.
Menu without text and without header in the kepub
This is a variant of `Custom Header menubar - reduce height by 50%` patch
then you can't use with it or any related.
In the first screenshot you can see the regular home without menu text and with my books in the second row.
In the second one the distributed menu without menu text and with my books in the second row.
The 3th one is a page without header (the same for 2 menus).
The 4th and 5th are pages whith regular and distributed menus in reading.
The last 3 screenshots show the homescreen with the `Custom Header menubar - reduce height by 50%` patch and `Only reading and My books` patch (1), a page with `Custom Header menubar - reduce height by 50%` (2) and a page with menu and with `Custom Header menubar - reduce height by 50%`.
I must investigate to put more books (with the same size) in the second row and to use the space at the beginning of page to write in the gap.
Good luck.

Reason: More screenshots and notes
And it might be good to give a bit of a description. I have no idea what either of those do. The screenshots probably would have told me, but if I was scanning through a patch file, the names don't give me any sort of clue.
For the second, I have no idea what the "Regular menu" is. And I looked for a menu that good enough icons that you could remove the text, but I couldn't see one.
Does the first one remove things from the home page?

You add before/after screenshots to illustrate what your patch actually does
You make it clear when your new patch cannot co-exist with one of those already included in GeoffR's published master patch files.

Yes, I know...
Life is life and sometimes you can't do what you want.
Sorry about inconveniences.
If someone needs any aclaration...

Thank you very much. If you're able to get you goals, I'll gladly test it
@jcn363 you only post the after pics, you need post the before and after screenshots, and don't enable other patches, so it be more understandable.
Only reading and My books - by removing the row2col2 you scatter the books of My Books, you might want to add "margin-right" to row2col1 to close the deck of books.
Menu without text and without header in the kepub - test it with other fonts and make sure there is no leakage of text form the header.

I recently bought a Kobo Aura One and was able to patch the latest firmware using the detailed instructions in the OP. Thanks for all the great work with the patches.
Next step - installing KoReader.
I've updated the attachment to post #1 to fix the `Cyrillic Keyboard (GloHD/AuraOne/H2O2)` patch. The Latin letter x (Ex) was being used instead of the Cyrillic letter х (Kha). Thanks Semwize for finding this. Here is the new patch:
`Cyrillic Keyboard (GloHD/AuraOne/H2O2)`, paste into libnickel.so.1.0.0.patch:

## Replaces keys on the Extended Latin keypad with Cyrillic alternatives.
##
## Note that after the device boots, the keypad might just show blank squares
## until after the first book has been opened.
## Also note that long-pressing keys on the base keypad will no longer show
## the appropriate list of Extended Latin keys.
