Hi Jackie,
Something ugly has happened with your lovely Dictionary text font-family/font-size/line-height patch. Either I'm doing something wrong or the patch is being funny. All I did was increase the font size (admittedly, it's a little too big now, but still), see attached images & code. Both with and without your Dictionary pop-up - increase available text area patch on, the first letter or part of the selected word is cut off in the pop-up box... Spoiler:

Hello everybody.
My Kobo Aura One runs the firmware 4.24.15676, and I’m trying to patch it. I have followed the instructions on the first post of this thread, but nothing really seems to have happened in my Aura settings. I’m not sure about the instruction number 5: «Enable patches in the files in the src folder (or use the overrides in kobopatch.yaml to keep your options separate)»: what does that mean? I guess something went wrong applying the varioius patches, since the Terminal window (I’m running Mac OS X) kept showing a list of “SKIP…”. Can you help me please? |

Ah well there isn't really anything going wrong... the only thing is you didn't follow step 5, like you said. All the patches are switched off by default. Step 5 is telling you to enable the patches that you want. There are two ways of doing that: 1. Inside the kobopatch_4.24.15676 folder (which contains the .sh file that you ran in the Terminal) is another folder named 'src'. This contains four files with the .yaml extension. Each of those files has the patches in. You need to go through all of these patches and choose which you want to enable. (You can open the .yaml files in a basic text editor. TextEdit will do, but I use Wrangler [also Mac OS] as it highlights the code in a handy way.) For instance, in the libnickel.so.1.0.0.yaml file, the first patch is called My 10 line spacing values: and the next line says - Enabled: no. If you want to enable it, you change that next line to - Enabled: yes. Once you've done that to all the patches you want to enable, you save the file, and run the kobopatch.sh file in Terminal again. If you choose option 1, you'll have to do the above all over again when you update your firmware and use the new patches... 2. To prevent having to do number 1 all over again when a new firmware version arrives, you can use a separate file to enable/disable all the patches you choose to use instead of editing the files inside the src folder (as explained in option 1 above). This will be lots of work now, but like I said, it will save you lots of time in the future. Next to the .sh file that you ran in the Terminal, there's a file called kobopatch.yaml. Open it in your basic text editor and you will see a few lines that say: Code:
overrides: src/nickel.yaml: src/libadobe.so.yaml: src/libnickel.so.1.0.0.yaml: src/librmsdk.so.1.0.0.yaml: Code:
overrides: src/nickel.yaml: src/libadobe.so.yaml: src/libnickel.so.1.0.0.yaml: My 10 line spacing values: yes #add some text behind a hash to remind yourself what this is src/librmsdk.so.1.0.0.yaml: When you're done adding all the titles of the patches you want in the kobopatch.yaml file, save the file, and run the .sh file in Terminal like you did, and follow the rest of the steps in the first post. I hope that clarifies! Good luck Last edited by Mrs_Often; 11-21-2020 at 05:47 AM. |
