Have someone developed fast refresh for glo android, as in the nook? It would be very useful to read pdf.
I tried to install norefresh, the application used in nook, and tolino displays a message in german blocking the app. |

I installed in my Kobo Glo the rotate apk but it doesn't seem to work properly. When I activate it the screen doesn't seem to notice it when I push an icon. It seems as if it still thought is was in portrait mode...

Hi guys, thanks for bringing Android to the Kobo's.
I installed Android on my Kobo. It boots, it works (because I see the time changing on the home screen), but I can't select anything. It's not a hardware issue, because I inserted the original SD card, and my Kobo Touch works as it used to work. It's like the touch screen stops working when I use Android. The power button works. If I pull it the Kobo goes to sleep. Any ideas why my touch screen isn't working on Android? |

OK, tnx Angor.
So yes, I do have th N905B version. Is there a way to get an Android version on it? Different image maybe, or a setting I can change? |

Unfortunately, no. You need to configure and compile a new kernel for your hardware, especially the touchscreen driver.

Can you make the image from your SD card? I could make the Android SD card for booting from external SD. Even needn't do the full SD card image, only the first 65536 sectors is enough.
This can be done with the following command in Linux: Code:
dd bs=512 count=65536 if=/dev/sd<SDCARD> | bzip2 -9f >./kobo-touch-N905B-first.img.bz2 Last edited by angor00; 02-17-2014 at 10:13 AM. |
