https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/K3_Index (not much on there) https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Kind...h_Hacking#LIPC EDIT: (but much of it revolves around the implementation on the Touch not the 3) https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Kind...Java_Subsystem So you will have to use a little judgement. As you are using the DX / 3 you may also wish to have a snoop around some older links to get a feel for the java bits, my favourite link is now dead so I have recovered it... sigh...) http://adq.livejournal.com/tag/kindle (keystore work as-was) http://webcache.googleusercontent.co...g-started.html [Recovered as dead] Spoiler:
(I hate it when good references die) So back on topic: (a bit) I was thinking of your issue this w/e. was wondering about ripping out a few more bits in the startup (specifically the bit just before the test for WIFIOFF) but look's like you have made progress. You have tried the good old tried and tested "KILL STUFF and WATCH THE LOGS" method? *Looks up* seems like you have. no joy via that method??? hmm.. I suppose I could go killing in my 3 and see what occurs. Also occurs to me to ask Ixtab if that is in fact a Java component, May wield my showlog -f -g -p / kill -15/9 [pid] hammer then if you have no further joy.

Damn it. I should learn how to read log files properly. 'cmd' is the process that crashes, 'pmond' (process monitor daemon) catches this and restarts 'cmd'. This is most of the delay.
The 'orientationFaceUp' was a red herring. BTW the state of the accelerometer is stored in '/proc/accelerometer' in plain text. Anyway, this: Code:
121005:181147 cvm[3427]: E lipc:dbuserr:name=org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply:Receive Dbus error message (DBUS_MESSAGE_TYPE_ERROR): Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus) 121005:181152 pmond[2060]: I def:exit:proc=cmd, exitcode=139:cmd (19772) exited 121005:181152 pmond[2060]: I def:rst:proc=cmd:Restarting cmd 121005:181152 cmd[20111]: I def:starting::Starting Connection Manager Now, is the dbus error timeout a cause or a symptom? And why:

hmm. could of course just be "expected behaviour" somewhere or another.
Some horrific hack that simply waits for a service to fail then restarts after 10s or w/e. I have seen reference to a few admissions of kludgery... Plus this is a "corner case", thanks your lucky stars it doesn't just explode into flames perhaps Kudos Lab126 |

cannot upgrade fonts on DXG fw 3.3
Hi all,
I have successfully upgraded fw in my DXG to 3.3 via my K3. Many thanks for this. FW 3.3 in my DXG works fine and after building search database (cca 700 books took one night) the battery drain while sleeping is not a problem any more. I especially enjoy PDF contrast, because I convert some of my books to PDF by LaTEX and it looks terrific now. Does anyone know how to upgrade fonts to new hacked v5.5.N? The file “update_fonts_5.5.N_dxg_install.bin” runs successfully but after restart fonts are still the same. :-) I was successful with font upgrade on my K3 (fw 3.4) and I really prefer this 5.5N font. Anyone knows? Thanks in advance. wju |

@wju: Drop the linkfonts folder from the K3 package on top of the one that was installed by the dxg installer.

@geekmaster: i do not play sound on DXG, have tried once and system froze; I can listen to text2speech only on K3 with my language (czech) implemented, works; but just as a fun, no serious listening |

@geekmaster: so I have tried mp3 on DXG and yes, there are "hiccups" as you call that , I´d better call it "burst noise"; it is not 0dB, but loud enough to be annoying
;-) text2speech not working best regards from the middle of europe Last edited by wju; 10-23-2012 at 04:06 PM. |

frankly speaking this was my worst expectation (no updates, no support etc.):

Still no page numbers
I've updated my DXG to 3.2.1 with the instructions given. Everything else seems to work fine, but I still don't see any page numbers. Any ideas why?

There's also a Calibre plug-in that guesstimates page numbers. |

I have a book that does have page numbers (my Paperwhite shows them), but when I download it to my DXG, it doesn't seem to show them.
Edit: Okay, page numbers seem to work for sideloaded books, but not for books downloaded from Amazon. Last edited by digbybare; 11-14-2012 at 11:50 AM. |

Most likely it is the book format.
I do not think the DXG handles the newer Amazon book format. |

That makes sense. Has anyone had any success upgrading to 3.4?

Hmm, it also seems like my battery life has gone down dramatically. If I just leave it sleeping, the battery ends up fully depleted within a day.
Curiously, I'm not getting the wake up delay that other people are seeing, it wakes up instantly for me, even after sleeping for a long time. It seems like maybe it's just never going to sleep, and something's pegging the CPU? It's unlikely to be indexing, as I've only put 3 books on it. |
