Hello. Sorry to be such a newbie, but I just got here and found about this and got very excited, but this thread is pretty big already and I dont know where to start.
So, has anybody set up a guide (or tutorial or something) on how to install android on the kobo (I have a Glo, by the way)? Can someone please direct me to where I can find some instructions on how to do it? Thank you |

I'm presuming you have Windows.
Download the working Android image from this post: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...&postcount=151 Get image writer from here: http://www.vconsole.com/client/?page=page&id=29 Insert blank SD card into card reader and put Android image to your card. If your card is bigger than 2GB, you can expand partition which is Fat32 to fill all your card space with this program: http://www.partitionwizard.com/free-...n-manager.html Switch off your Kobo Glo and open it as per instructions from here: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...48&postcount=2 Remove SD card from KoboGlo and put it into safe place. Insert there your SD card with Android image into KoboGlo. Switch on your Kobo Glo. If you do not like blinking LED, switch it off as per instructions from here: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...&postcount=167 To connect AndroKoboGlo to PC you will need a driver - get it from here: http://translate.google.com/translat...-play-32350%2F Follow the instruction from step 8 For driver installation in Windows 8 fxp33 advised to do the following: click the : 2_vendor_id.bat before doing 3_install_su.bat Note 1: Alreader which comes with the Android image above is outdated, newest one you can get from here: http://alreader.com/download.php?file=AlReader.apk Note 2: You need Tolino reader to connect to PC, so before uninstalling it, as embryo advised get program "Auto Mount Your SD Card". After that you can uninstall Tolino reader. Last edited by stasys; 01-05-2014 at 05:01 AM. Reason: driver on Windows 8/ remove Tolino reader |

I can't see a thing I must be doing something wrong... Edit: Never mind. It was a version thing. With 1.41 the library is readable. Last edited by embryo; 12-27-2013 at 09:13 PM. |

These are the only 2 things (1 for Touch owners) left to make the android system perfect for Glo. BTW I wonder if the wrong processor clock is responsible for the misalignment of the device's time reference (the normal clock), that happens from time to time but not always... |
