Ok, thanks for the link - I'll test this build regarding battery consumption in sleep mode over the next week. At a first glance, there are no functionally visible changes, everything works like in the 2018-06-09 build on a PW3 and KT3.

Yes there are no difference with functionality, but improvement with buttery consumption when reading.

Now, after one week, I can confirm that the standby battery drain on my PW3 running the beta build 2018-12-19 seems a liitle bit lower than with the current official build 2018-12-10. But it is obviously still a bit higher than in the previous official build 2018-06-09.

"Standby" means here: Running Coolreader, launched via your launcher (not via KUAL!), using your Kindlet (azw2 active document), and displaying a user defined sleep picture. The device was switched on only for a few seconds each second day, just to check the battery percentage display in the status line. Power drain is still about 1% per day - it was less than 2% in 3 days with June 2018 release though.

@sergeyvl12: Once again a packaging error in your 2019-02-05 release:

Although launcher.sh references to "KindleTSv2" mouse driver for the KPW3 and KPW4 models, the file itself is missing in "Qt/plugins/mousedrivers/". Either it isn't needed any longer, then launcher.sh is wrong - or the respective (current) file is missing in the archive.

Thanks, will be fixed today

UPD. Fixed in 2019.02.06

It doesn't. Unfortunately, the development is frozen.

Hi!

Sorry for my long absence. Now CR works on KPW4. Meet the latest version:

Antinoos · 03-24-2020, 02:57 PM

Thanks a lot!

Though I couldn't test this version on a physical PW4, it does *not* work properly on my PW3: No personal sleep pictures. Release 2018-06-09 works correctly with this device.

On a *KT3* the new release works fine. But the same was already true for the 2018-06-09 version...

Now for KPW3 kindle system screensaver is used. You can use my screensaver and custom images.

Code:

    case `echo $serial | cut -c4-6` in
        0G1|0G2|0G4|0G5|0G6|0G7|0KB|0KC|0KD|0KE|0KF|0KG|0LK|0LL)
            model="KPW3"
            USE_SUSPEND_MANAGER="0"
            QWS_MOUSE_PROTO=KindleTSv2${QWS_MOUSE_DEBUG}

just change USE_SUSPEND_MANAGER="0" to USE_SUSPEND_MANAGER="1"

For KPW4 and KOA2 only kindle screensaver works correctly.

Antinoos · 03-25-2020, 09:28 AM

Thanks a lot again!

The only piece of information missing was to mention the file name affected: /mnt/us/vlasovsoft/launcher.sh ... ;-)

Now, everything works. Hopefully, the standby battery drain doesn't increase - I'll have a look at his in the next time.

Here is my spanish translation for the last build of pbchess 2020.03.xx
You only need to copy and overwrite each file over vlasovsoft directory.

slaviksd2 · 05-04-2020, 01:21 PM

hi, anybody knows how to change "low battery notification", in cool reader, from 30% to 5% or 10% ?
