Hi, thanks for this firmware. I have to minor problems: in Internal Memory/databse, there's a /markup folder instead of /system, and no wallpapers. Also turning off SD/MS card doesn't work. Installed on french firmware.

@yunkah95

It's not a bug, since not all users need this folder, it's not created by the installer script (I start to think about doing it however, as some users are confused).

Simply created it, no big deal. (note that folder names are case sensitive)

:O I cant wait for this to be released. Do you have a rough timeframe in mind, or is it more of a "when its done" thing?

@whlabratz

The preview version (fully functional, but with minor glitches and lacking some planned features) should be available in a day or two.

PS

Meanwhile some kind soul has deleted PRS+ entry on wikipedia as "not notable". Heh. :(

kk thanks ill look more into it

Since the T1 uses a modified android Kernel I doubt this will work in its current form but it may have much more options since its a form of android

@arbz101

No. Or actually "not yet". Once PRS+ devs buy T1, there will be something for T1 model as well.

[arbz101]

will this work withthe PRS-1T?

Looks nice, with folder support I may decide to keep my PRS 600. Was about to sell it as I use my reader as a document reader, and organizing stuff was a pain...
