Oook, let's use putty! WINSCP doesn't let me use showlog -f (it crashes!).
I'll let you know if i I find something!
Thanks!!!

WOW!!
It was so easy!!!

Here's what to include in the javascript:
Code:
kindle.chrome.setTitleBar('', title);
You set a title variable, than call the function and...ta da!!

I need to understand what is " before the title!
But now, I can control the titlebar!

PS You need to set this in the config.xml file:

Code:
<kindle:messaging>
       	<kindle:app name="com.lab126.pillow" value="yes"/>
</kindle:messaging>

i'm hijacking this thread a last time: I wonder if there is a way to take a screenshot from inside a WAF.
I generally use:
Code:
lipc-set-prop -- com.lab126.system takeScreenShot 1
but I don't know how to send it from a WAF!

Short answer: you can't. WAF can only interact with the system in a very limited way (through the predefined lipc "interfaces"). But it won't let you send arbitrary lipc commands or execute arbitrary shell commands. That makes sense, because it would be a huge security hole. And now let's have this thread get back on topic - I think it was about eips

Perhaps we need to rename this thread. It has very little to do with "eips" these days. I can request that a site moderator rename it. Any suggestions what we should call this thread?

How about:

"Miscellaneous-v5.1.0 (How amazon screwed the pooch, and other neglected topics.)"

There are a number of different threads that contain off-topic discussions that we could fold into here -- especially the posts about 5.1.0 breaking stuff that works fine on other firmware versions.

Another thing broken by 5.1.0:

waitforkey no longer returns keycodes for accelerometer rotation events. I was using those...

Sorry to hijack this 3d again....
I'm here to report what I found!
You can change a WAF config.xml file to add new lines to the messaging part.
If you change it this way:

Code:
<kindle:messaging>
       	<kindle:app name="com.lab126.pillow" value="yes"/>
	<kindle:app name="com.lab126.system" value="yes"/>
</kindle:messaging>
Than you can add this javascript command:
Code:
kindle.messaging.sendMessage('com.lab126.system', 'takeScreenShot', '1');
to take a screenshot from inside a WAF.
This means WAFs can send every lipc message as listed with:
Code:
lipc-probe -a

I just discovered that after the 5.1.0 upgrade, this is what you now get from eips with no parameters:
Code:

usage:
to print strings: eips [row] [col] [-h] string
		 -h for highlighted text
to show image: eips -g|-b image_path [-w waveform -f -x xpos -y ypos -v]
		 -g for png, -b for bitmap
		 -w waveform can be gc16 gl16 or du, default is gc16
		 -f for full update, default is partial update
		 -x -y in units of pixels
		 -v for inverted picture
to paint a retangle on screen: eips -d l=a,w=b,h=c [-x xx -y yy -w wf]
		 a is gray level in hex, b is width, c is height, with optional xx yy location, waveform mode
to clear display: eips -c 
to paint checker: eips -q 
to paint grayscale: eips -l 
to paint pattern: eips -p 
to paint barcode: eips -r barcode
to print fb info: eips -i

This is MUCH better than just experimenting and hoping to find something useful in the previously undocumented parameter list (using startup scripts as examples).

I already knew most of these, but the ones I did not know how to use look quite useful. I like that "paint a gray rectangle" option, and the bitmap support.

Thanks amazon and lab126!

while :;do eips -q -wdu;usleep 130000;eips -v -q -wdu;usleep 130000;done (K5)

Just to say that

[root@kindle root]# eips -g /mnt/us/usr/bin/pictures/gameboy.png

works okay on a 3

but actually

[root@kindle root]# eips -g /mnt/us/usr/bin/pictures/gameboy.jpg

works good as well

Thanks again mate

@twobob: Well, it doesn't on the 4/5 (and eips is actually quite verbose, and when you ask it to print a png via -g, it actually asks for a PNG8, anything else and it chokes, or, worse, display garbage).

EDIT: Scratch that, on a 3 too, IIRC.

How's your jpg encoded?

Attached there. Just seems to display 33% of the total image x axis.
I'm not complaining.

Works okay other than that

(Perhaps Works "Good" was a bit of a stretch!!!, works with some love)

HEH

Eh, yeah, the stretchy 33% thingy was part of what I meant by garbage, might have been a bit too strongly worded... ;-). Still better than what happens when feeding it a 16 or 24 bit PNG though :-)
