No they are different. These patches only apply on font-size, while Progesive is a sort of re-hash which changes the interface look.
Good luck.

Since this version I don't have real fullscreen reading on my Clara HD anymore. I turned off title and footer in reading settings. They aren't visible since I turned them off but now I have margins in the size of the hidden title and footer.

The line in eReader.config is added correctly. Before I used 4.10.11655 and everything worked fine.

So, what's wrong here? Thanks for help

It's nothing to do with the patches. You'll want to remove the line from the config, as full screen reading is now officially supported (since a few versions ago). The only disadvantage with the official one is, as you noticed, there is a small (but not as large as you say you get) additional gap at the top and bottom.

Nothing at all.
It's a fail in the new firmware. To reduce the footer space you can use something like this.

Thanks! I´ll give it a try. But it seems a little bit of space on top stays free.

Yes, I still don't achieve...
Good luck.

Thanks for your help. I deleted the string in eReader.config and put the suggested code by jcn363/GeoffR into nickel.yaml.

I'm very happy with the result. The margin is much smaller, nearly as before. I can live with that.

Thank you verry much for the patcher, @geek1011 and @jcn363. My two readers (Kobo Aura H2O 2nd Edition, Version and Kobo Aura H2O 1st Edition) work great with the firmware and the patches (I use the progressive version).

Hi,

Pretty new to Kobo devices - just got mine today. I am currently running 4.10.11655 and was able to push some small patches. From your post I understand that I can manually install this version even if it's not officially supported? I am mainly interested in the "get rid of header" option.

Is there any side effect? Could you please share the details?

Thanks,

Regards,

Yep. You can manually install this firmware version without side effects. Just install it the same way as any other version. Note that a new version was released today for all devices, but I won't be getting around to the patches till Sunday at the earliest. If you want to stay on this version and not be automatically updated, enable the "Always show confirmation dialog" or "Block wifi firmware upgrade" patch in libnickel.

Is it 4.12.12111? I saw in pgaskin but I was not sure even though it list as compatible for the H2O. I can wait for the next patch, no rush.

Just move .tgz to .kobo and that's it? No risks for kernel drivers or something?

Best,

There is already a thread to discuss the firmware: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=313381. And another for the patches.
