nickelmenu's Introduction

NickelMenu

The easiest way to launch custom scripts, change hidden settings, and run actions on Kobo eReaders.

See the website and thread on MobileRead for screenshots and more details.

Installation

You can download pre-built packages of the latest stable release from the releases page, or you can find bleeding-edge builds of each commit from here.

After you download the package, copy KoboRoot.tgz into the .kobo folder of your eReader, then eject it.

After it installs, you will find a new menu item named NickelMenu with further instructions which you can also read here.

To uninstall NickelMenu, just create a new file named uninstall in .adds/nm/, or trigger the failsafe mechanism by immediately powering off the Kobo after it starts booting.

Most errors, if any, will be displayed as a menu item in the main menu. If no new menu entries appear here after a reboot, try reinstalling NickelMenu. If that still doesn't work, connect over telnet or SSH and check the output of logread.

Compiling

NickelMenu is designed to be compiled with NickelTC. To compile it with Docker/Podman, use docker run --volume="$PWD:$PWD" --user="$(id --user):$(id --group)" --workdir="$PWD" --env=HOME --entrypoint=make --rm -it ghcr.io/pgaskin/nickeltc:1.0 all koboroot. To compile it on the host, use make CROSS_COMPILE=/path/to/nickeltc/bin/arm-nickel-linux-gnueabihf-.

nickelmenu's Issues

Library menu

This would be better suited for things like nickel_misc:rescan_books{,_full} to avoid cluttering the main menu.

Cannot exit Web Browser in 4.23.15505

On my Kobo Forma for example, if I use the NickelMenu to open the Web browser, I now cannot close it unless I restart my device because it starts in full screen and no back or quit button is available.

When started from the Beta features menu, the web browser starts in a pop-up window with back and close buttons.

Improved nickel_extras:web_browser action

Option to show in a modal instead of fullscreen.
Option to load a custom URL.
Option to add a custom CSS override.

I've figured out the issue with the original attempt I abandoned a while ago:

https://github.com/geek1011/NickelMenu/blob/50c7374fcf8c86fe809129a4a10def601ecfe248/src/action_cc.cc#L319-L334

When it isn't already connected to a network, BrowserWorkflowManager::openBrowser will use the WirelessWorkflowManager sharedInstance to start the connection and attach a one-time (it removes itself after) signal handler which runs BrowserWorkflowManager::openBrowserAfterConnected on success (InternetProvider::internetIsAccessible). The thing is, it stores the state information in the BrowserWorkflowManager instance, and passes the pointer to it as-is to the signal handler.

Since my original attempt allocated the objects on the stack, this meant that it would try and dereference an invalid stack pointer after the connection succeeds. To fix this, all we need to do is allocate the BrowserWorkflowManager and the function arguments on the heap.

Config file reloading

Home action

#26 (comment)

Build-time option to automatically uninstall NickelMenu if all configuration files are removed

Set NM_CONFIG_DIR from the Makefile

I don't recommend changing it, but some people have custom private builds which do. This will also make the documentation go into the correct place when installing.

Choose the menu insertion points?

I was wondering if it would be possible to add the ability to choose where the menu items are inserted? Or to have better defaults: ideally the new items should be isolated from the existing items by a black separator. Looking at the code, I'm starting to think that you simply don't have a choice?

Proposal: refactor actions in action_cc into standalone functions

Currently the code that actually executes nickel actions are intertwined with the menu/config code. However it could be useful to refactor them into standalone functions, such that they could easily be reused by other libraries.

From my look through the code, it looks like each segment of code is fairly self-contained already, so it doesn't look like the refactor would be too difficult.

I'm willing to take a stab at it if @geek1011 is open to the idea.

menu hopping

One of my greatest irritations in latest firmwares is the removal of the "home" button from the reading screen. Sometimes I have to hit return two or three times to get back to home.

Would it be possible to add items from the home screen menu (like home, my books, my articles, settings) so they could be added to the reading overflow menu?

Sleep action

There have been a few requests for this: MR:post-4019107, MR:post-4019077, MR:post-4018911.

Frontlight action

MR:post-3983396

Custom label for NickelMenu main menu on 4.23.15505

This will be an experimental option since it depends on firmware-version-specific features, and is outside the scope of NM.

depends on #87

Should the failsafe destroy thread be detached?

AFAIK, the default state of a pthread is joined.

Not waiting for it means it "leaks" on termination.

Should we make it detached to take care of that, or am I missing some Qt quirk?

(I can take care of & test that, just wanted to double-check first ;)).

Rename chain to chain_success

In hindsight, chain was a bad choice of name due to the changes in #20. One potential way to fix this while keeping backwards-compatibility would be to rename it to chain_success, but continue accepting chain. I would probably remove chain completely sometime before v1.0.0, though.

See #32 (comment).

feature request - orientation toggle

First of all i wanted to say thank you for taking your time to develop this and well done. I have a small feature request if possible please.

I have added the ForceAllowLandscape=true parameter in the kobo config file which enabled portrait or landscape mode, but i would also like to have inverted landscape and inverted portrait as an option also as an option. This seems to be possible to do so as it is found in the Developer options menu.

Would it be possible to have a rotation flag added please? or even the possibility of adding the Developer options section in the home screen?

Thanks in advance,
STiiVO

Add a confirmation dialog?

I thought it might be useful to have a confirmation dialog with at least two buttons.

Maybe the cancel dialog that shows up in the output of: arm-linux-gnueabihf-objdump -T libnickel.so | grep -i 'confirm.*show.*dialog' (that is _ZN25ConfirmationDialogFactory16showCancelDialogERK7QStringS2_) could fulfill this task?

Generalize `chain`?

The current behavior is to abort a chain of actions on the first failure.

Would it be possible to introduce the following variants of chain:

and_then: only executes if the last executed action succeeded.
or_else: only executes if the last executed action failed.

Testing NickelMenu 0.2.0

You asked for some testing feedback so here's mine.

Good news: I only have simple menu options. Everything I want is now working OK.

Not-so-good news:
During my testing (on a KA1) I did have a problem which I was able to reproduce several times.

This is my config file:

menu_item : main : * Reboot              : power : reboot
menu_item : main : * Rescan books        : nickel_misc : rescan_books
menu_item : main : * Screenshots on      : nickel_setting : screenshots:true
menu_item : main : * Screenshots del/off : cmd_output : 500:rm -v /mnt/onboard/screen_*.png
  chain_success : nickel_misc    : rescan_books
  chain_always  : nickel_setting : screenshots:false
menu_item : main : * USBconnect          : nickel_misc : force_usb_connection

menu_item : reader : > Home             : nickel_misc : home
menu_item : reader : > My Books         : nickel_open : library:library2
menu_item : reader : * Invert Screen    : nickel_setting : invert
menu_item : reader : * Reboot           : power : reboot
menu_item : reader : * Screenshots on   : nickel_setting : screenshots:true
menu_item : reader : * USBconnect       : nickel_misc : force_usb_connection

These were the steps to reproduce the problem using the above config:

From Home menu select * USBconnect
Edit NM config file on Kobo and save.
Eject safely.
Open a kepub.
From reader menu select * Screenshots on
Take a screenshot.
From reader menu select > Home
From Home menu select * Rescan books just to prove the screenshot exists.

At this point the KA1 freezes and reboots. After this everything is OK.

I don't know if this is any help but this stack log was created:

Better menu item injection

The current method is simple and reliable, but somewhat inflexible. Also see #42.

Improve extensibility by changing `nickel_setting` and splitting `nickel_extras:web_browser`

4f2e059#commitcomment-40240140:

I'm also considering splitting nickel_extras:web_browser into a new action and rearranging the options for nickel_setting into nickel_setting:{enable,disable,toggle}:<setting>, as these changes would simplify the config (both parsing and documentation) significantly. It would also allow for more future extensibility, especially with non-boolean setting values.

Reboot/shutdown actions

MR:post-3985552

Add automatic updating for generators

See #47.

feature request- random book

First, I love Nickel Menu. Thank you for making this real.

I would really like to have a "Random Book" option.

Is this possible?

Whitespace inconsistency in cmd_spawn/cmd_output is confusing

In cmd_output and and cmd_spawn, the "timeout" and "quiet" fields respectively are whitespace sensitive. This is inconsistent with the rest of the config line, which ignores whitespace.

Perhaps this either needs to be better documented, or the actions should ignore whitespace for those fields, the same as what the config parser does.

I got bit with this myself when I was wondering why the following failed:

menu_item : main : Test Output : cmd_output : 1000 : echo Hello

(Note it fails saying there is no valid timeout)

Documentation: instruct exactly how to start/spawn Koreader

Hi, thank you for your work in this very usefull tool.
I have 3 suggestions for making the documentation crystal clear and
more straightforward for first time users. Maybe this all seems pointless and "obvious"
to you, because you're the creator and are already intimate with Nickelmenu.

The name you choose for the file, "doc" is a little bit confusing.

It took me a while to realize that this file is both a "doc" in the sense of containing
instructions, and a "config" file, in the sense that you comment out what you want
to configure the menu.

Yes, of course, it's all written there. You can even name it what you want, split it etc.
But either I'm getting too old or I feel it could be made more intuitive this way.

Maybe you could rename it into Readme.txt and place it in a folder called "docs" or "help" under the folder "nm" ?

Then create a file called nm.config or nm.config.example with just a couple lines.
Only the most importat lines and commented out.

More crystal clear what you get on the "box"

You do have it on the README front page:

After it installs, you will find a new menu item named NickelMenu with further instructions which you can also read here.

"Here" also means, the "doc" file is also placed on the Kobo device itself, so could you please update the README to be less confusing for first time users. Something like:

After it installs, you will find a new menu item named NickelMenu.
A file named "doc" was placed under ".adds/nm/" with further instructions.
You can also read that file online, https://github.com/pgaskin/NickelMenu/blob/master/res/doc

Koreader

I guess the number one reason most people install it,
is to use it also with Koreader.

You do document extensivly how to customize the menus.
It's a big file, with examples for telnet and everything.

But not a single line on how to "correctly" start Koreader !
Please also remember, that not everyone wants the install the Koreader version prebundled with Nickelmenu and Kfmon.

I currently start Koreader from Nickelmenu with:

menu_item :main :Start Ko spawn :cmd_spawn :/mnt/onboard/.adds/koreader/koreader.sh

But I am not 100 % sure . I would like to see it written by you in the example config.
I dont' want to be jumping from the example file or the docs to forum postings on mobileread and back to the docs for such an important thing.

Please dont force people to go online to the forum to get ideas how to customize Nickel Menu for basic things. Documentation should be self contained and offline.

If you have other cool examples, put them also in the docs distributed.

Thanks in advance

Set reading font/size/margins/spacing/justification

This would be quite useful when combined with chain_* for having different presets to switch between. It would also allow setting sizes/margins/spacing outside the slider range, which can sometimes be useful.

I haven't looked into how feasible/stable/version-agnostic this would be yet. In particular, I need to look into when the reader view is updated, how this will interact with different file formats (i.e. if I can detect if the setting isn't supported for the current file format), and whether these actions will need to be disabled for non-reader menus.

An action to display the current settings will also be necessary to make it easier for users to figure out the current settings.

Menu item generators

Continued from the discussion in geek1011/kobo-plugin-experiments#2.

Automatic symbol checking

I should probably add a simple tool to check if symbols exist on all supported firmware versions.

Introduce a 'cmd_wait' action

I was thinking it might be useful to have a cmd_wait (or whatever it needs to be called) action. I'm thinking such an action would behave like cmd_output, except not output a message to the user to dismiss.

Use cases might be waiting for a process to come up that was launched via cmd_spawn, or introducing a delay between chain items etc.

The quck'n'dirty way to do this would be to copy the cmd_output function, rename it, remove the "output" portion, and call it a day.

The proper way to do it would be to factor out the common code to a separate function, but then I run into the same headscratcher as @NiLuJe found, namely, how to work with the whole macro return stuff...

nickel_setting DeveloperSettings AutoUsbGadget option

As requested on MR:post-4020337.

Don't notify if `cmd_spawn` succeeds?

I'd rather not have a notification if cmd_spawn succeeds. (I won't mind a notification on failure tough.)

Maybe it could be left to the user to implement such a logic? Using the concepts mentioned in #11, it could be written as:

menu_item  :main  :Hello  :cmd_spawn  :echo Hello
and_then                  :dbg_toast  :The previous action was successful.

wifi toggle

I'd like an action to toggle Nickel's idea of wifi state.
I don't mean turning off the interface (ifconfig down) but actually disabling it (or I suppose enabling it) like the icon was tapped from the home screen and the slider moved...

I'd love to be able to get to this from the reading screen without popping all the way back to the home screen.

Would this be possible? If so, my kobo's battery would thank you!!

NM crashes after a config reload when an item from the second menu opened after the reload is pressed

See #56 (comment).

This is a regression introduced by #47 (it isn't in any release yet).

Custom icon for NickelMenu main menu on 4.23.15505

See #78.

Ignore editor temp files

MR:post-3992019

Add option to set settings explicitly

I've received a few requests for this.

Testing compatibility of actions on 4.23.15505

I'll be adding it to the symbol tests after I start working on the patches.

If anyone wants to help test the nickel_* actions, it'd be appreciated.

Also see #78.

Config parser improvements

Split scanning and parsing.
Free memory properly even during errors.
Extract the gigantic parser function.
Re-use memory where possible.
Better error handling.
Cleaner and more readable code around memory management and list stuff.
Make it easier to extend.

Deprecate nickel_open:library:library in favor of nickel_open:library:library2

Since 4.23.15505, it isn't safe to use LibraryNavMixin::showLibrary directly anymore, and upon further investigation, it appears that it was never intended to be used directly to begin with and that it only worked by chance.

library, which uses LibraryNavMixin::showLibrary will be deprecated in favor of library2, which uses LibraryNavMixin::showLastLibraryTab. Since these are almost identical in behavior (the only difference is that showLibrary didn't set the library tab), I will be making library a synonym for library2 in v0.3.2, then completely removing library2 in v0.4.0.

See #79 (comment).

Invert screen action segfaults on 12111

MR:post-3983594

Initial feedback

@geek1011,
Very nice. I'll use this new toy 😃 A few discussion points in no particular order:

depending on the ability of the target audience perhaps a default config file (/mnt/onboard/.adds/nm/mystuff) could be included in the KoboRoot.tgz installation file. Non-techie users get a bit panicky if nothing obvious happens after a new install. The one you suggested I try from the other thread should be harmless, or, if screenshots is a bit niche for the average user, maybe just the last line for invert?

menu_item:main:Screenshots:nickel_setting:screenshots
menu_item:reader:Screenshots:nickel_setting:screenshots
menu_item:reader:Invert Screen:nickel_setting:invert

I think I'll stop using the InvertScreen option in kobopatch in favour of this NickelMenu version. The kobopatch version has that minor niggle of the Reader settings checkbox being in the wrong state after powering off whilst inverted. The NickelMenu version seems to survive reboot OK and it also seems to play nicely with my MiniClock hack when toggling the invert state.
There is one minor intermittent gremlin I'll mention. Sometimes when toggling the invert state the 'Invert Screen' menu item itself remains on screen. It stands out like a sore thumb because it's either a white box on a mainly black screen or a black box on a mainly white screen. It doesn't particularly bother me because it's removed when you have to refresh the screen to remove the scrubber etc.

Generators are not valid in browser and library locations

Bug in #75 and #74. Found while testing #78.

Browser menu

Decrease failsafe timeout

Chain skipping

It would be useful to add an action to skip a number of following actions. This would allow for logic similar to grouping chained actions, but without the complexity which goes with it.

This was inspired by the chaining in PAM's config files.

NickelMenu v0.2.0 error in nickel_setting screenshot confirmation pop-up

Although this config entry works:

menu_item : main : * Screenshots on : nickel_setting : enable : screenshots

it has an error in the confirmation pop-up message. I assume it should say something like enabled screenshots but instead it's enabled enable. Similarly the disable screenshots option pops up disabled disable

Experimental options

I will be adding support for experimental options to the config file. These options will not be subject to the compatibility guarantees between NM versions, or the stability requirements for other NM features.
