Any chance for Kindle Keyboard port? I've tried to launch this port with CR3 Runner, but no luck (of course). It saddens me to see al that keyboard and free 3g wasted, default browser is nearly unusable.

I'm hoping to look at his patches and shove this thru buildroot.

its gtk pixbuf I think so might not fly. (as I had no fun getting several of those bits to compile last time) unsure tbh. but willing to give it a go at some point. time allowing.

I don't have the device, so probably not soon…

wow, that's great!
Now one more reason that I need to get a touch version kindle

Thanks a billions baf, very impressive piece of work indeed it is.

Does anyone know how to free up some resources on Kindles? Every time I run skipstone and just open up my gmail (that's it, just one tab), my KindleOS restarts! 4MB left for RAM.

In fact, after one restart, it automatically showed skipstone (I think it was not the whole cvm restarting but just framework restart)... And well, now it seems it is stuck in restart loop!

Anyway, thanks a lot. It just opens a lot of opportunities and fun.
When opening youtube videos, I see "O :" on top of videos. What's that?

Your problems are caused by Gnash plugin. It needs a lot of resources on pages with complicated Flash animations. Big "0" is also Gnash bug. Disable Gnash.

This browser would be perfect if you could zoom in and out.

skipstone/plugins/SkipZoomer.so

source bundle /skipstone-1.0.1/plugins/Zoomer/Zoomer.c

just needs building perhaps

I was able to establish a normal work with firmware 5.0.0

Spoiler:

#!/bin/sh
EXTENSION=/mnt/us/extensions/skipstone
#init_orientation=`/usr/bin/lipc-get-prop com.lab126.winmgr orientationLock`
#/usr/bin/lipc-set-prop com.lab126.winmgr orientationLock R
cd ${EXTENSION}/bin
export PATH=${EXTENSION}/bin:$PATH
#export GTK_IM_MODULE=kindle
./skipstone
#/usr/bin/lipc-set-prop com.lab126.winmgr orientationLock ${init_orientation}

It turns out that simple. Everything works fine. Run the keyboard button which is located near the address bar.

Hi. yeah work fine for me also. can't get the native browser to recognise gnash is my only problem

[twobob]

some shots with the app.
(last picture shows the zoom plugin button running-not-on-a-kindle)

[Lydovig]

Can I turn off the screen update in the application? This will improve the youtube video. Thanks for the reply.

[twobob]

I pretty much gave up on youtube.

However, the games aspect intrigues me so I played with getting the mini-matchbox hooked onto some games.

: )

Lots of fun

really need a tidy Landscape mini solution now I suppose as well. will dig around for documentation.

[briant1234]

Bug? i tried to open a google document, but regardless if i created a new doc or if i tried to open an existing one, it wouldnt open and nothing happend other than a little loading box. any reason?
