Kobo Forma - No keyboard and can't lock screen

[Arci996]

Hello, I'm on the latest version and when I press the search bar the keyboard doesnt' show up.
Also pressing the power button does not put the device on standby, neither does closing my cover.

I can confirm the same issue happens with a Kobo Aura Edition 2 (N236) using UltimateMangaReader v2.17.2. The issues don't occur with release v2.16.0. Here are a few workarounds:

• If you don't need MangaDex, you can roll back to version 2.16.0
• If you do want to read manga from MangaDex, you can add them to your favorites using v2.16.0, then upgrade to v2.17.2 (your favorites list won't be affected by the update)

There were only seven commits between releases 2.16.0 and 2.17.2, so I will try checking which commit(s) broke the keyboard functionality and reverting the changes in those commits. I will post another comment with the results once I find the change that is breaking the keyboard functionality.

I compiled the code in the master branch and both the keyboard and the power button work now. Maybe the commits since release v2.17.2 fixed the bugs in the code.

Hi! Thank you for your interest and your work. I'm a bit (read: very) ignorant when it comes to this kind of stuff and I was wondering if you could upload the compiled branch somewhere? (I apologize if it's against some TOS, if so I didn't know about it)

I uploaded the zip file to the following link: https://www.bsahin.xyz/misc/UltimateMangaReader-kobo-v2.17.2-kbfix.zip
Since I didn't actually modify the source code, I think I am allowed to distribute the binary this way (the AGPL, which is the license for this project, permits the redistribution of binaries as long as the source code is also available). However, if I misinterpreted the license, Rain92 can let me know and I will gladly take down the ZIP file from my website.

You're a lifesaver! Thanks berkan-shin!

The issue with keyboard (i.e. no screen keyboard at all) is present on my Kobo Glo. I use UMR 2.17.2, so it is the latest available one.

Hi, do you also have a fix for the search function please ? When I type a manga name it doesn't find it.

EDIT : It seem to work when I press the enter key of the keyboard instead of the search button.

Maybe because of that ":experimentaltouchhandler" line ? https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showpost.php?p=4267795&postcount=266
