NickelMenu: An integrated launcher for Kobo eReaders

[elaeoth]

Hello guys! I have a question with the nickel menu: I recently updated from a Kobo Clara HD to a Kobo Clara BW, and even thought it seems to be axactly the same, some things don't work well.

The first thing is the landscape mode: the screen rotates, but the touch is inverted! (if I touch the upper part, the lower part reacts, very weird).

The second thing is Vlasovsoft: I used to play chess a lot with it, and now Vlasovsoft doesn't launch at all, when I click on it from the nickel menu, it just freezes the whole e-reader...

If you have any ideas on how to solve this, I would be so grateful!

Kobo made a lot of changes to the firmware as part of launching the new devices, so you can't currently do everything that you could do on older devices. You may wish to watch the NickelMenu GitHub repo to track if/when things get fixed.

Try to use KFMon

Is there a way to bluetooth connect to a previously connected device by device id? Currently available bluetooth actions don't seem very useful if I still have to open up the bluetooth settings menu to connect to the device.

Otherwise, is there a way to open up the bluetooth menu directly instead having to go through the settings menus?

I imagine there must be someway to do it with cmd_spawn

I dont understand this.
follow the guide. I cant find a guide I understand.

what is it, I have to put in the KOBOeReader/.adds/nm/config I created?

I have the NickelMenu because I installed Koreader. but that is all. how to get all the other stof??

found some configs I copied to the file.
and did a 1 click install of koreader+plato
seems to work. But koreader is shown 2 times and plato 3 times in menu??

prevent Nickel from scanning *nix hidden folders.
how and where to copy to?

The only entries that nickelmenu displays are those specified in the files placed in the .adds/nm folder.

So if those files contain duplicated entries for plato and koreader then the menus displayed by nickelmenu will contain multiple entries for them

I have the Kobo Libra 2 with latest firmware 4.38.23038. I get the following error messages. Maybe the path has changed with the latest firmware?



SOLUTION:

The path and the commands have been changed in the latest firmware. So, the script has to be adapted accordingly. The path is mc13892_bat instead of battery:

I've installed this version of NM on a Libra 2 running 4.38.23038. I'm trying to use an 8BitDo Micro controller to turn pages, using instructions I found on Reddit.

How is the Bluetooth Scan supposed to work? For me, it just reboots the Kobo.

I've never used the scan, I had already had the device listed under bluetooth settings. I have used the build of the nickelmenu that you linked to enable/disable bluetooth with no issue.
