Sorry, I never used any custom firmware on our Kobos. You see, I keep them offline, so I'd care less about security vulnerabilities in them (plus if they go online, its via guest network). Also, I am very content with the software on our Kobo readers (Aura One and Aura Two). I do use Calibre + USB sometimes. What am I missing out on?

Stuff I use every day: column reflow, djvu/chm/mobi support, cropping and zoom on text size even in scanned images.

Supposedly lots of other features as well , but simply supporting djvu is so huge for me, I can't imagine bothering with nickel.
