Update 2013-02-01: This version is outdated, use the new version in the normal installation package.
I found a way to start HackedUpReader from the home screen. This is currently experimental but especially for PW users I think this is better than nothing. You have to install and execute the files manually but in a future release this will happen automatically. Download the two attached files onto your K5 device and rename them to "policy.sh" and "HackedUpReaderKindlet.azw2". Put the HackedUpReaderKindlet.azw2 into your /mnt/us/documents/ directory. Execute the policy.sh script (sh policy.sh) and restart your device or restart the framework. You should see now a document named "HackedUpReader" on the home screen with a "Dev" marker. Opening it will start HackedUpReader. There are some drawbacks: 1. when the devices suspends, HackedUpReader gets stopped too and will be restarted when the device is woken up again 2. HackedUpReader doesn't save the current reading position when it gets closed because of a suspend or press of the home button (I already have a fix for that but this will need a new release of HackedUpReader) Last edited by bhaak; 02-01-2013 at 08:48 AM. |

Hi there!!!
I would like to thank you all for Hacked Up Reader! I used Hacked Up Reader since it first appeared here, but I'm having problems only now. I updated my Touch to 5.3.2 and I'm using the Unified launcher but I can't start HUR... I'm using the 0.3.1 version and I think the problem is not related to the launcher as I get the same error when using SSH. Here's the output: Code:
/mnt/us/hackedupreader/bin/cr3 *** glibc detected *** /mnt/us/hackedupreader/bin/cr3: free(): invalid pointer: 0x0024c8ec *** Aborted Here's the strange...I installed HUR again and I tried again with the launcher: it worked fine. I closed HUR using the built-in command in the menu then I tried again to run HUR: nothing happens! If I run it using SSH, I get the error stated above! Thanks for your help! |

You can verify and kill such a process by doing the following on the command line (a reset would also fix it): Code:
[root@kindle root]# ps -e | grep cr3 1634 ? 00:00:00 cr3 [root@kindle root]# kill -9 1634 [root@kindle root]# ps -e | grep cr3 [root@kindle root]# https://github.com/varnie/HackedUpRe...cher/downloads Are you using the latest version (0.0.3) of unified launcher? I tried that on 5.1.2 and it seems to work better than the first version. I couldn't get HUR to accidently stay in the background. This was easily done with the earlier versions of the unified launcher. Last edited by bhaak; 01-25-2013 at 06:29 AM. |

I can't check if there is an old instance of HUR running (I don't have the kindle here), but I always use the correct procedure to close HUR!
BTW, I use the plain launcher extension that just runs cr3 with the unified launcher v0.2! It used to work really fine when I was using the unified launcher v0.2 on 5.1.2 firmware. On 5.3.2 I get the error stated above (even if just running HUR from the terminal). I'll try with the v0.3 of the launcher! |

Ok, I made some tests with unified launcher 0.2 and 0.3.
Unified launcher v0.2: HUR runs fine as long as "close application" actually kills HUR. I tried 5 times and it managed to kill HUR 2 times (I had to manually kill cr3) Unified launcher v0.3: the problem seems to be solved. BTW, I still had that problem once or twice. It a weird thing as it seems to be intermittent (and it isn't a PEBKAC!). Anyway, it's 90% solved! Thanks!!! |

@silver18: You are right, I have experienced it now, too. Quite rarely, but it does happen. It seems that either the launcher code (although I can't see what's could be wrong with it) or Amazon's framework code is flaky or something the way the windows are managed is under some race conditions (IMO seems to be the most likely cause).
It looks as if the home screen gets raised or shown when HUR's windows should be shown and then HUR just runs in the background. As the old version just quits when it sees another running instance, you can't do anything besides killing it manually or resetting the device. I've changed the code so that when a running HUR instance is detected, it will get killed so this shouldn't be a problem after the next release. @varnie: Yes, I've seen that already and that's what prompted me to try out the thing in my posting from Dec, 9.: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...&postcount=244 The unified launcher, touchrunner and my attempt essentially do the same thing: implementing a Kindlet that starts a configurable or specific command. I'll try to fix up some loose ends so I can include such a document in the installation package in the next few days. BTW, I will also include your launcher in the Kindle installation package, so there should be lots of options to start up HUR on any supported device. Last edited by bhaak; 01-28-2013 at 08:00 AM. |

New release 0.4.0!
New release 0.4.0!
This is a maintenance release, without functional improvements, mostly for improved compatibility with the new Kindle firmwares and the Unified Applications Launcher. Changes:
Varnie's launcher extension and the new Kindlet launcher are only in the zip file which contains the standard Kindle update package. http://bhaak.net/kindle/hackedupreader_0.4.0.zip http://bhaak.net/kindle/hackedupreader-0.4.0.tar.gz Last edited by bhaak; 04-17-2014 at 02:58 PM.

Version Checked.
Works great. I think I would possibly do a split in the name just to keep it tidy for the kindlet. (or a picture version perhaps) Nice work. Haven't got it to "hang" yet. Will update readme. thanks for your work. |

I wouldn't mind if somebody would do a cover image for that launcher kindlet, something like an axe hacking down the kindle tree (preferably without the boy, I find that kid creepy). |
