Is it possible to configure KSM to only specific options? I want to to set it up to show Nickel, Koreader and Coolreader, and nothing else. Is that possible?

It is not configurable. However, I guess I could make a special edition for you. Actually only one file has to be changed. But are you sure you mean what you say? No usb, no wifi, no configuration editor, no power off?

I'm not sure yet. I do know that I found the menu contained far too many options that I didn't use. Can I edit the file myself?

Perhaps just having the ability to make the text for the selections you want larger and/or bolder, to make them both stand out and easier to poke?

Just a possible approach, might have been easy, if the text size could be defined in the line that displays it. Please don't feel any need to do anything based on the crazy ideas that get thrown around a forum like this. I think you will find some of them worth looking into, but plenty that are just good food for thought, not even intended as a request to actually do something that way.

Personally simply having the ability to choose what options appear in the menu is adequate for my needs. The other functionality is important, but I do not want to see it all the time. Ideally, I would like to be able to place them under a sub-menu. Is that also possible?

If you like install the KoboRoot.tgz that you can find in the uploaded archive. [Edit: I removed the uploaded archive, since the functionality is now embedded in the patch for Aura One and Aura Edition 2.] Then add to the section [general] in .adds\kbmenu_user\confoptions\ksm_ini_options.txt the key "suppressEntries" and list as value all menu entries you want not to appear in the main menu, e.g. Code:
suppressEntries=+info+toggle_rotation+start_vlasovsoftlauncher+koreader_additions+usb+wifi+configure+tools+scripts+user_scripts+reboot+power_off+ Then select this line via "configure". The images below show the effect on my device using the "suppressEntries" value from above. Image 1: before the installation and configuration Image 2: after the installation and configuration Image 3: after toggling between full and short menu. In the spoiler is a list of the suppressible items: Spoiler:

This looks great and might be useful for those that prefer having basic and advanced setup.
(sorry, can't affect at karma at the moment) |

Ken, how do you set the uSD card to read/write ? For me, syncthing will not sync to a folder within /mnt/sd/ because it complains that the filesystem is read-only.
