Well, there are volunteers to check how the android works via dual block on Glo and Touch?

You need a computer with Linux.

First of all, you need to backup the original card.

<Sdcard>- the letter under which the card reader appears.

Card images with Android (those provided by MarekGibek on a mobile)
For Kobo Touch:https: //www.dropbox.co…_Android_Kobo_Touch.7z
For Kobo Glo:https: //www.dropbox.co…23_Android_Kobo_Glo.7z

Unpack the archive and create the card with the command:

<Sdcard>- the letter under which the card reader appears.
(for Touch-a there is another image name)

How to write the card out of its card reader and re-insert.
Here is the archive with the files that need to be replaced on the card in the "Android System" sectionhttps: //www.dropbox.co...droid%20System.tar.bz2

Well, the patch for the device:https: //www.dropbox.co…-android-glo-touch.zip
Put the original card in the internal slot reader. (I really hope that we did not miss the point above about creating backup. If you missed, go back and create.) Connect via USB, unpack the dualboot-android-glo-touch.zip archive into the .kobo folder on the reader, then go to "Safely Disconnect Devices" Disconnect the reader, disconnect from the computer, wait for the reader to restart. After you report the result, if there are problems we will continue to understand.
