Aura E2 Ghost touch on top bar hitting WiFi/battery icons

[GroovyTune]

Hello everyone,

I have an issue with my old Kobo Aura Edition 2 v1 with firmware 4.38.21908 (downgraded to 4.38.21908 for using patch that I found here). There is a ghost touch on top bar menu hitting continuously the wifi and battery icons. I tried all recommendations, cleaning, charging, resetting, moving to Koreader/Nickel menu. None solved the issue. It is definitely due to the hardware.

Then I thought of changing the padding of the top bar menu but the reading header/footer is not controlled by CSS string, it uses compiled binary code. That is the reason I am coming here, to know if someone is able to write the binary patch and help me to solve this issue by adding margin-top or shift the top status bar down.

Thanks very much in advance.

If you patched 4.38.21908 and installed it on a later firmware, go an install 4.38.23684 unpatched and see what happens. You should never install a different firmware when you patch. It should always be the same firmware as the one you are using.

Definitely, i used both firmware and patch with the same version. It did it as last solution to access the patch and see if modifying the padding of the header was possible. Unfortunatelly, it is not. That is why, I am asking if someone as a coding solution to solve the continuous phantom hit of wifi and battery icons? (I have same issue with koreader/nickel menu, it hits the top menu)

Thanks,
