I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. But after applying it on my Glo 3.20, multi touch works in the form of zooming in and out of epubs.

How do I control the light levels using multi touch?

Turn the light on and then drag two fingers up or down the screen to increase or decrease the light level.

Uninstaller does not work on 3.2.0?
Hi everyone,

I wanted to uninstall the multitouch hack from my Glo 3.2.0, but even after putting the files into the .kobo, both times the Kobo told be updating and rebooting, but the multi-touch ability remains.

Is this to be expected?

Hmm, even more funny ... I have now upgraded to 2.3.0 and it tells me also 2.3.0 in the device info, but I still have multi-touch abilities, both font size zoom as well as light adjustment.

Huuu?????

There is an error in the upgrade script that means it doesn't apply the new kernel on the Glo. But, it is safe as the kernel doesn't seem to have changed in the last few versions.

I've also experienced this, first tried to uninstall the multitouch as recommended, having failed I went on with the 3.3.0 update. Multitouch remains and two finger light control functions but zoom does not function properly. Anyone else?

Hello! I just upgraded from 3.1.1 to 3.3.0 and installed multitouch320. It works fine, but I have to say the functionality isn't quite the same as before. Before, you could keep your fingers on the screen and jockey them up and down to fine-tune the brightness to exactly where you wanted it.

Now, you have one swipe, then the function becomes inert, and you have to lift your fingers and initiate a new swipe if you want to adjust. It makes it harder to achieve fine control.

I installed 3.3.0 from a clean factory reset, and then multitouch320 from there, so there shouldn't be any broken leftover code from previous versions.

Also, there seems to be some weird new feature (of 3.3.0?) where you can change font size by swiping. Very imprecise and annoying. Who asked for that

Has nobody else noticed the change? Is it just happening to me?

This is a "feature" that got introduced with 3.2.0. We can't disable that, I'm sorry
