Unlike dev mode, you can choose to start one or the other. Also, the FTP server serves the entire KOBOeReader partition, not just .kobo. This will not conflict with dev mode. Also added examples for showing the current IP and importing books.
NickelMenu
The easiest way to launch custom scripts, change hidden settings, and run actions on Kobo eReaders.
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 in the top-left corner of the home screen. 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
@NiLuJe's toolchain and sysroot are required to compile NickelMenu. They can also be found as a Docker image. To compile NickelMenu, just run make all koboroot with the toolchain in your PATH, or use docker run --volume="$PWD:$PWD" --user="$(id --user):$(id --group)" --workdir="$PWD" --env=HOME --entrypoint=make --rm -it geek1011/kobo-toolchain all koboroot with the Docker image.
