Could we do it in the other way?

`Enable new home screen`
It should work the other way around, but I haven't tested it at all:
Edit: Wait until you see which home screen you get, don't apply the patch if you don't need it. `Enable new home screen` (paste into libnickel.so.1.0.0.patch) Spoiler:

"Enable new home screen" patch worked on my H20. After upgrading to 4.3.8842, I did not have the new home screen. Enabled it in the patch and installed it, and voila! New home screen. Thanks.

I'm going to try this tomorrow. I don't have time today to give it a go. But the patches are good to go though. So all I have to do is install the firmware, check which home screen I get and if it's the new one decide if I want to stick with it.

GeoffR, booth patches (`Enable new home screen` & `Disable new home screen`) are working fine on our H2O and Glo.
Thank you very much. |

Great work Geoff
I'm having an issue with the `Custom Header menubar - reduce height by 33%` patch, though. It applies, but doesn't seem te work; the menubar stays the default height. Same with the 50% one; I tried that one too. |

I've tested Enable home screen and it works well, thank you. I think I'm going to keep it at the moment. Thank you very much for this patch and for all your work in every FW with them.

GeoffR, as a fellow inhabitant of Zealandia I really appreciate the late hours you keep to bring us all this - by my time your last post was at nearly 3am!
Many, many thanks for your work. |

Let me double-check it myself on my H2O and I'll get back to you. In the meantime, a couple of basic questions:
ETA: The 33% reduction patch is working for me. See attached screenshots from my H20. I haven't applied GeoffR's Custom Footer patch so you can see the difference in depth of the header and footer in the 2nd image. Last edited by jackie_w; 02-23-2017 at 04:03 PM. Reason: ETA: Post results |

Hey GeoffR. Thanks for your work on this.
Regarding 'Custom reading footer style', I'm flashing my H2O from 3.19.5761 to 4.3.8842. I previously used the following values to shrink the footer to my preferred height: # Example replacement footer height values: AuraHD/H2O/GloHD replace_string = 001A, `footerMargin: 105;`, `footerMargin: 170;` replace_string = 002D, `min-height: 70px;`, `min-height: 36px;` replace_string = 003F, `max-height: 70px;`, `max-height: 36px;` However, 70px and 36px output an error in the latest patch. I've tried various other combinations and they all result in an error. Currently, I'm using the default values of # Replacement footer height values: AuraHD/H2O/GloHD replace_string = 0076, `min-height:80px`, `min-height:52px` replace_string = 0086, `max-height:80px`, `max-height:52px` The patch is nearly perfect except for the larger footer than I prefer. Geoff, or anyone else, are there smaller than default values that will output a usable patch? |
