Main Menu Disappeared after Nickel Install
Hi there,
Just wondering if anyone can offer tips on how to restore the top left main menu after installing Nickel, Koreader. I have a bottom right Nickel Menu. But the old Kobo Main Menu has disappeared from the top left. I have uninstalled Nickel once but that didn't restore the top left main menu. So I installed it again, but still hasn't returned. I'd appreciate some tips on fixing this. thanks, James |

Well that would bring a lot of peace to my troubleshooting. There was a lot of features in that particular menu however and now it seems like I have hardly any.
Thank you so much for offering some feedback, however. I really appreciate it. I never done any kobo upgrading previously or mod-ing. I suppose that's why it was that way. Hahaha. I guess that explains it then. But tell me what should be in the Menu now in the bottom right? Well bottom right now is Nickel Menu for me with just Koreader and Plato. To left it says "MOre" that only contains "My wishlist, my articles, activity, beta features, settings and Help." It seems rather sparse to me. Is that all there is in the menu now? I love Koreader. I must say!! It rocks for PDFs and stuff... |

I certainly don't have those options when I click "More" from Nickel Menu. And these are all that pop up from the 'settings" option. Should I be seeing more or is this just cause I have a Kobo Clara HD?

and you have to customize your nickelmenu for options that you want to have shortcuts for. |

When I tap on Nickel Menu there's only two options. Koreader and Plato, the packages I installed. Should there be more or do you have install each one?

Well thank you very much. I see all I had to do was to edit nm file and add some cool stuff like in the post suggested. I wonder all of these new menu items, were these features already pre-installed like "Screensaver" and "dark mode", etc? For example when I turn on Koreader, there's is no "dark mode". I appreciate the info. It's not obvious to noobs like me. But I still really appreciate hacking the Kobo. The previous PDF viewing was horrible.

And it is not an "nm" file, it is a configuration file for NickelMenu which is stored in the nm directory. |
