Kobo Start Menu 09

Note: I am starting to prepare the first post of this thread. When I feel the minimal amount of necessary information is given, I will upload the installation package.

This is sort of a test version, especially since the rotatation problem of some models, which reappeared in KSM 08 under more recent firmware versions, has not yet been solved. I decided to publish this version nontheless, since (1) I want to save new users from having to install KSM 08 and immediatelly afterwards install a patch (with unresponsive touch screen of KSM on H2O2), and (2) hope that KSM 09 will contribute to finding a solution for the rotation problem.

One new feature of KSM 09 is how it behaves at start up (by default):
  • It starts a server and provides access to the device via a webinterface. This is an attempt to give the user some control over the device, when difficulties arise, for instance spontaneous screen rotations, unresponsiveness to touch, broken screen.
  • It enables USBnet in order to allow sending requests to the server.
  • It enables wifi in order to allow sending requests to the server, when USBnet for some reasons cannot be used.
  • When there was no request send to the server during the first minute after start, the server shuts down and USBnet will be disabled. (Note that you have to take care of wifi yourself.)
  • There are options to prevent wifi, usbnet, and the server from being enabled at start up. You can also prevent control over the device via wifi, even when the server is running.


Installation:
...

Recommendations:
  • Prepare your pc for USBNet. (Preferably before you install KSM 09)
  • Disable wifi on start up by selecting: "tools" > "ksm diverse.msh"... > "auto enable wifi off.sh".
  • Prevent command over the device via wifi: set with "configure" the value of "[general]allowRmcViaWifi" to false.
Note: enabling wifi on start up may slow starting KSM considerably.

Webinterface:
To connect to your device type http://{The ip of your device}:8087/rmc_test.html into the navigation bar of your browser and press enter.
In the case of USBNet the line is: http://192.168.2.101:8087/rmc_test.html.
In the case of wifi, the line is something like: http://10.0.0.3:8087/rmc_test.html.
