Cannot change display on hacked Touch
My Kobo Touch is on firmware 3.3.0. I have hacked it so I can use Telnet.
I start the web browser (to force Wifi) and use PuTTY to get into it. This all works fine. From Telnet I try a simple Code:
zcat /etc/images/ghostbuster.raw.gz | /usr/local/Kobo/pickel showpic I tried doing a killall nickel first but that does not seem to make a difference. Am I overlooking something obvious? |

In some FWs, there was a problem with screen refresh, as soon as nickel was once started. On FW 3.5.0 it works again. If you want to stay on 3.3.0, Lucas provided an executable that refreshes the screen (look for a thread that deals with screen saver for glo).
If you want to show pictures (other than ghostbuster), you should reset the orientation: Code:
echo 0 > /sys/class/graphics/fb0/rotate Code:
echo 3 > /sys/class/graphics/fb0/rotate Edit: Here is the post with Lucas executable. Last edited by tshering; 08-02-2014 at 07:10 PM. |

At first I thought that screen-refresh does not really help:
Code:
[root@(none) ~]# killall nickel [root@(none) ~]# zcat /etc/images/ghostbuster.raw.gz | /usr/local/Kobo/pickel showpic [root@(none) ~]# /mnt/onboard/screen-refresh But then I tried one of the others images like splash.raw.gz and it worked fine. Is the ghostbuster.raw.gz by any chance just an empty image? I also tried upgrading to 3.5 but then I got no Wifi. Is this maybe the reason why 3.5 is not officially released for the Touch? Anyhow, back to 3.3 now and i can continue playing. |
