Yes, I reset everything on KA1, including Nickel, KSM, and Koreader. But as I informed you in the KSM08 thread, due to the challenge that one would face for getting the Natural Light on Koreader, now I am experiencing difficulties in Koreader-Nickel-Koreader switching. The power cycle method does not feel alright each time you wanna wake your reader and change the natural light at night. It is cumbersome, both for the user and the device(!). Besides, as you have already emphasized, the "start nickel no fmon.sh" doesn't help the switching procedure. Still the Natural Light is not supported in Koreader at all.

Regarding my current issue, no palpable change could be seen after that, as the PNGs are already there. |

Hi all,
For those who might be curious about the way I could use Nickel again: Once in the nickel (through the: Start Nickel No Fmon.sh), I opened some books and closed them, hence pushing the PNGs further and away from the nickel's homepage. Therefore, the homepage thumbnails of PNGs won't trigger fmon upon startup anymore, and nickel would start without crash. On the other hand, the switching PNGs will work like a charm as long as they are not shown on the homepage. This may sound like a temporary workaround, but it works! Best, Abe |

What I discovered was that if I include the "switchtokoreader" PNG in the collection and then tap on it, I will be taken the KSM homepage. However, if I try to return to Nickel from there it won't let me. It just redirects me back to the KSM homepage. The only way to get back to Nickel was to power my KA1 off and then start it again so that it would launch into Nickel. A nuisance, but not a problem. I then removed the "switchtokoreader" PNG from the collection and powered off and on again. This time, while in Nickel, I opened up my KSM collection and tapped on "exit_nickel" which brought me to the KSM homepage. And from there, there was no problem launching into either Nickel or Koreader. So there does seem to be some issue with having the "switchtokoreader" PNG on the new homepage (at least on a KA1 running FW 4.4.9298). So, instead of using that PNG to switch to koreader, I now use the "exit_nickel" PNG which achieves the same result without locking me out of Nickel. I'm really glad I did this little experiment because it is handy having my KSM collection readily accessible on the Nickel homepage as I also like using the comfort light while reading with Koreader.

I have all KSM pngs in a collection, and everything works fine. So maybe by comparing some things we can figure out what causes the problem. I try to describe the points that I think might be of relevance for our problem. On my nickle home: In the first row there are four tiles, the first three tiles are of .epub files. Since these epub files have no dedicated title page, they tiles show the "title pages" generated by nickel. The forth tile shows the exit_nickle.png. In the second row there is the "My Books" block consisting of three black tiles. Maybe they are black because the corresponding epub files do not have dedicated title pages. I do not know. In the second row there is further a block referring to the KSM pngs collection. It showes the tiles of the restart_nickel.png, toggle_nightmode_png, and poweroff.png. These are the related thumbnails that nickel has created: Spoiler:
By the way, the switchtokoreader.png is supposed to be used only if nickel was launched by "koreader additions" > "start nickel koreader switch" or "start koreader nickel switch." Then switchtokoreader.png starts koreader directly, rather then bringing you back to the KSM home. Since switchtokoreader.png seems to create problem on your device, you better do not try this function right now. Last edited by tshering; 06-17-2017 at 01:46 PM. |

@Question Mark: Your method is better than mine, as I had to keep the PNGs away from Home. I have tested your method and it works well. I deleted them all and copied them again, save for the switchtokoreader. I did this so as to test your method and also be enable to tap the icons on the Home. Once the switchtokoreader icon is gone for good, everything goes back to normal. I was always wondering why the switchtokoreader does not do its designated job on KA1, and the icon does the same job as exitnickel, though it works well with my Aura HD running on older versions of Nickel, KSM and Koreader. So both of us have experienced the same misbehavior, provided that the switchtokoreader exists on KA1.

@Question Mark
Can you tell me whether in .kobo-images\135\255\ you have file____mnt_onboard_kbmenupngs_switchtokoreader_pn g - N3_FULL.parsed file____mnt_onboard_kbmenupngs_switchtokoreader_pn g - N3_LIBRARY_FULL.parsed file____mnt_onboard_kbmenupngs_switchtokoreader_pn g - N3_LIBRARY_GRID.parsed? And if you have them, whether the file date indicates whether the file existed already at the time when you had the problem starting nickel? @Question Mark and ebrahimpak That switchtokoreader.png causes problems is somehow related to the history of your devices. The question is, why, on your devices, nickel tries under certain circumstances to open switchtokoreader.png on startup. By launching nickel by "start nickel no fmon.sh" and opening and closing the KSM pngs, nickel should have had sufficient opportunity to create all thumbnails that it needs. |
