Clara BW landscaepe mode seems doesn't work correctly

theSong · 09-08-2024, 02:55 AM

Hi everyone,first post here,hope every one a good day!Sorry for the title spelling:it's landscape mode.

I add ForceAllowLandscape=true in [DeveloperSettings] in .kobo/kobo/kobo eReader.conf and there's an orientation icon in the top menu while reading.
But the problem is when I touch the screen, right-top becomes the left-bottom,up is down....(just like Captain Jack Sparrow's map)
Even when I switch to the nickelMenu and add these in config:

menu_item :reader :-> :nickel_orientation :landscape
menu_item :reader :<- :nickel_orientation :inverted_landscape
menu_item :reader :Up :nickel_orientation

ortrait

but,still the same .
Also, problem No.2 :I set opeed develop mode and set the rientation but even doesn't work at all.

So anybody konws or has the same [up is down] with me ?Help me!

I have the same experience with kobo clara bw. Did you find any solution for der landscape problems? Do we have to wait for another firmware?
Which firmware is on your clara bw.
Could not find the firmware download here. Where is it?

There is currently no solution. You're not supposed to have access to landscape mode on the Clara BW, so Kobo will probably never fix it. Perhaps a firmware patch will be able to correct the controls at some point.

One of the current issues with Libra 2 images is that there are multiple variants with most of the changes people have noticed being around the power management hardware.

Did you post that in the wrong thread? This one is about landscape mode on the Clara BW.

Yeah, I accidentally copy/pasted my response about why multiple Libra 2 firmware images from a PM here. Watching hockey and responding to messages was likely not a good idea.
