Installing Kindle Touch MP3 Landscape Files?
Hi, I am having trouble getting this fix to work on my Kindle Touch. Should the Extensions directory be installed under the Music folder or under the root directory on the Touch? I've tried both ways and get the MP3 GUI but it doesn't do anything....Thanks....

Addition: this issue concerns only the book reading application. The web browser is OK. Last edited by pirl8; 01-19-2012 at 04:29 AM. |

You can use vi command to edit files. But be sure to have backups of your root file system (see KT wiki). If you are not comfortable with vi or other parts of my description, it's better to wait.
So far, I haven't figured an easy way to automate it without distributing Amazon code. |

1) mp3 bug is fixed (no more code execution) 2) ebook reader app mess (more) up by using landscape mode. 3) auto-rotation still works, for now, but (2) should still be present I am full-time studing but i'll try to give my 2 cents of help if i can. now, brain storming on what to do now: i think that the most simple thing to do is to make an uninstaller for the 5.0.3 patch (as far as i have seen, nothing really worthy in this update) PRO: fix 1,2,3 in 1 time CON: will work just for already JB devices. what do you think? @rastik using linux patch system? @pirl8 il nick faceva intuire che fossi italiano, ma l'host dell'immagine mi ha confermato la cosa |

I think the main advantages of the 5.0.3 update are faster page turns and more precise "touch". Anybody willing to attempt a patch to uninstall the update, should consider to leave at least those features in place, if possible.
BTW there's another issue to consider, closely related to the 6-tap bug. After 6 swipes (when you want to go to prev/next chapter) the display is not refreshen and stops responding, unless you tap on the top to bring down the menu bar. I think it was still there in previous firmware, maybe someone can confirm. @mr.w0lf: ebbene sì! P.S. Is there a kindle emulator anywhere? Last edited by pirl8; 01-19-2012 at 01:38 PM. |

[QUOTE=mr.w0lf;1931305]So, to summarize, with 5.0.3 (will add this on main topic):
1) mp3 bug is fixed (no more code execution) 2) ebook reader app mess (more) up by using landscape mode. 3) auto-rotation still works, for now, but (2) should still be present I am full-time studing but i'll try to give my 2 cents of help if i can. now, brain storming on what to do now: i think that the most simple thing to do is to make an uninstaller for the 5.0.3 patch (as far as i have seen, nothing really worthy in this update) PRO: fix 1,2,3 in 1 time CON: will work just for already JB devices. +1 like |

I was talking about a slightly different problem. If you want to turn pages you have to tap left and right to go back and forward. If you want to go to next/previous chapter you have to swipe over the screen. After 5 sweeps the display locks as it used to do when tapping without refresh. Quote:

somehow the launcher's portrait inverted mode doesn't work on my kt (neither 5.0.0 nor 5.0.3) it will be useful when I try to lean it up against the wall and the power button trigger by accident. Is there any way to make portrait inverted works?
