Haven't tried the app, but simply:
Code:
ssh root@kindle mv /var/local/adunits /var/local/adunits.bak touch /var/local/adunits |

Anyone tried to activate Ads on a no-ad Touch?
UPDATE: does not work, as expected. Ads removed by Amazon can not be reactivated by this tool. Did not backup the "ads-folder" from my KSO Touch (until one hour ago) so anybody able to upload this adunits? Would like to recheck if I can activate the ads after having a non-ad Touch.

That won't help much - you still would have to "feed" ads to the Kindle manually - Amazon won't do this as it thinks your device is no-SO.

I don't understand why the "touch /var/local/adunits"? Specifically, from /etc/upstart/framework_setup.conf ... env PLAIN_SCREENSAVER="screensaver" env AD_SCREENSAVER="ad_screensaver" env ADS_DIRECTORY="/var/local/adunits" ... SS_LOADER="$PLAIN_SCREENSAVER" # If the ads directory is present, use the ad screensaver if [ -d "$ADS_DIRECTORY" ]; then SS_LOADER="$AD_SCREENSAVER" fi f_blanket_load_module $SS_LOADER ... In other words, if directory /var/local/adunits exists, the kindle will load the ads screensaver, otherwise, it'll be a non-ad kindle. Does the existence of /var/local/adunits as a file stop something else creating /var/local/adunits as a directory, thereby reverting to ad-support? |

That file prevented creating the folder in old firmware, but it has been reported that the new firmware deletes that file.

And strangely enough, my man for touch doesn't mention the side effect of touch which is relevant here. But the point is that the script looks for a directory (google* man bash) which obviously won't be there (you having renamed it) -- so what is the point of creating a regular file of the same name? Anywayz, thanks geekmaster, that's sort of what I thought -- that something else is trying to force it back into ad-supported mode, and the file thwarts it. Except on my kindle it worked (and continues to work) without the file (5.0.4). * if you don't have at least one instance of bash open on your desktop... |
