Dear Marek,
I find Android for Kobo v2 very useful, I can't live without it. I've managed to run Kindle with swap uty, it's real all-around player. I have a small problem every day, Kobo sometimes shows "Hinweis...." dialog, Is there any good tips to close the dialog during portrait mode? |

I'm not at all sure you can. One of the issues with the Kobo Aura is that it has NO internal SD card; rather the internal storage is on a flash-chip. This means it is impossible to overwrite a disk image over the internal storage; so both installation AND recovery are well-nigh impossible. (And I know that someone will chime in and say that as long as you can get telnet access to the device that you can probably do it from the command prompt. I just caution you that until someone can provide a foolproof WORKING installation / recovery means you risk totally bricking your device with NO means of recovery). |

It's possible to make the Aura H2O boot from the external SD card by changing the u-boot parameters (the same way it's done for factory resets); once that is done you can mess with the external card any way you like, and a factory reset would make it switch back to the internal memory. Maybe this would work for the Aura as well. But as PeterT says, if the device bricks, it will be difficult to recover.

Could you give a link to the u-boot parameters? |

Hmmm. Maybe it doesn't work after all and I have to take back my words.
This is what it does for a factory reset: Code:
dd if=$UBOOT_RECOVERY of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=128k count=1 seek=6 And the difference of this file is like: Code:
bootcmd_SD=run bootargs_base bootargs_SD;load_ntxkernel; bootm bootcmd_recovery=run bootargs_base bootargs_recovery;load_ntxkernel; bootm verify=no -bootcmd=run bootcmd_mmc bootargs_recovery=setenv bootargs ${bootargs} root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootfstype=ext4 bootargs_mmc=setenv bootargs ${bootargs} root=/dev/mmcblk0p1 rootfstype=ext4 bootargs_SD=setenv bootargs ${bootargs} root=/dev/mmcblk1p1 rootfstype=ext4 +bootcmd=run bootcmd_recovery bootargs_base=setenv bootargs console=ttymxc0,115200 rootwait rw quiet lpj=3997696 stdin=serial stdout=serial There's also a bootcmd_SD in there which should use the SD card; and I changed it to run bootcmd_SD and I thought it had worked. I put a copy of the internal filesystem to the SD card and it booted from it, or so I thought; but now when I try it again somehow I can't make it work. It did boot, but using the internal memory like normal. So now I'm no longer sure I succeeded the first time around. |

Hello!
What about the dualboot version for Glo? I've read on the page 3 about some problems after applying dualboot files from the previous version. |

Hello!
I have two questions. 1. Auto sleep case doesn't work. Is anybody using sleep case? How can I fix this? 2. I like this modified coolreader. I have Onyx T68 too. So I want this modified coolreader to use on my T68. But Full Screen update option doesn't work. Can I modify coolreader to work on my T68? any help would be greatly appreciated.

Was anyone able to use this image for dual boot? (on extSD)
If so, is there someone kind enough to share an image with us? |

I've been using this for a bit with my Kobo Glo and wondered if there was any way to make Wifi turn back on when returning from sleep because I have to do it manually every time. Is there a fix for this? I saw this (http://angor00.blogspot.com/) and wondered if it would help (though I don't have the technical know-how to convert this to the Glo).
And +1 on the sleep cover if it's doable. Thanks! |
