Yes it will overwrite what you have. You could use Hack Builder to create the files which include the clock and Direct Page Control, and then manually re-add the Chinese fonts.

Thanks Nogg. I just copied Hack Builder generated main.xml and applicationStart.xml to the Chinese hack package and it did the trick. Hack Builder is a great tool. Many Thanks for your contribution!
I did find an issue with Direct Page Control. If the second digit is 0 for a three digit number, it doesn't work. For example, I am reading an 870-page book, and I want to go to page 203. I presses "2" "0" "3" and "ENT". The display shows when I press "2" "0": Goto Page: 20 Then it changes to this when I press "3" Goto Page: 3 When I press "ENT", it goes to page 3 instead of page 203. I have tried many combination of digits and only when the second digit is 0, it causes problem. I hope it is not something wrong with my device. |

There is indeed a bug in the Direct Page Contril.xml:
<function id="doDigit" params="part"><![CDATA[ if (a <= 0) { digits = ''; } var keyCode = part.key.charCodeAt(0); if (keyCode >= 0x30) { a = keyCode - 0x30; this.stackP(); } ]]></function> This conditional code resets digits to empty string when it encounters a "0", I guess that its purpose is to remove leading "0"s, but it does have side effect. if (a <= 0) { digits = ''; } |

Yep, you're right. I've uploaded the fix. Version 1.03.
Thanks for the catch! |

Nogg:
Would you consider adding the book delete hack to the builder? I downloaded the code and it seems quite staightforward. https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...t=13013&page=2 Thanks, - Mark |

Oops, I guess I didn't read down far enough in the thread.
Yeah, that looks pretty simple. I'll test it out and then add it in. |

Ok, delete books hack added.
Also, I put in the persistent total page counter, too. Now you can turn your Reader OFF and still retain the count. |

Nogg,
I really was amazed at the addition of the icon for the "powering off" status in the form of a lightning bolt. Is there a way we can have a small icon showing a small "music note" when audio is playing while reading a book? I love the new audio-play-functions! But alas, I have several times now accidentally pushed "play" and worn out my battery without realizing music was playing.. Silly me.. a small music note icon might clue me in without going back to the main menu like I was OCD. Is the door locked, I better go check.. Thanks, Fabian. |

The lightning icon is part of the Reader system. It's used when you have the power cable plugged in. I just used it because I thought it was fun.
I can turn on other system icons (probably), but custom ones are more difficult and maybe not even possible. I haven't looked into it. Also, I still haven't figured out how to access song playing information when in a book, but I'll likely be looking more into that soon. |

Should be possible to make a custom icon. I think you can do it by creating a "cut-out" id. And integrate the icon in the icons image.
