inb4 its right in front of me and i feel like a idiot

The 'virtual enter' key is the key on the left (next to) the 'Done' key. The 'right angled arrow' key. If you look at your computer keyboard, you 'enter' has the same 'arrow' shape.

Although that probably deserves some further enhanced documentation

BIG LETTERS?

@SN3AKYf0x: That's easy. They don't (not while the device is sleeping, anyway, since it's well, sleeping.).

woops i ment randomize. they always go in the order they're in on the folder when i turn it on and off, bit of a ocd annoyance but i guess i'll have to deal with it. the "random" blank folder doesnt seem to work either

You meant K4? Yes, I do have a K4 as the title suggested. I thought you knew it

Sorry, mate. I am only interested in the vnc stuff, because I am using the kindle for my research project. So, I haven't looked into the screensaver thing. Hence, can't really help you.

But I am sure others like twobobs or NiLuJe will be able to help

oh.... btw, a quick question. how do i turn off my usbnetwork? After enabling the usbnetwork, the power button can't turn off the device anymore.

I am now just simply unplug the usb from my PC and device drains the battery for a third overnight.

2nd question is is there an easy way to do the ';debugOn ~usbNetwork ;debugOff'? Because the K4 does not have a keyboard, typing these letters in with virtual keyboard is really a pain in the neck.

capitalisation is not important. if that helps

1) -
Same way you turned it on.

At least that seems to stick in my mind, that the command is a toggle.
Read the script to be sure (or, just try it).

I just do ;un to toggle mine. I have not (yet) had problems with leaving ;debugOn active all the time, but it COULD fill the persistent user store partition /var/local faster.

[twobob]

^this - think ;un was toggle on later models. Niluje with have to confirm if ~un cuts it.

meh will test on a 3 EDIT: HAH or not... cant even get it to swallow the ~debug calls Must have mangled it.

Give it a go!!

@SN3AKYf0x: Again, mostly the same answer. "random" shuffles them at *boot*, and "shuffle" at autoreboot (unplug+framework restart), but nothing does it 'live' [because you actually *need* at least a FW restart on the K2/3/4 to pick up changes].
