Do I have to uninstall JBPatch for FW 5.3.7? Any slim chance that new version would come out? It's such a good patch!

Concerning your second question: Most probably not. |

Nope, the problem is not with their Java - the problem is with their closed-mindedness I dimly remember that it was you who pointed out the inherent stupidity of a "not invented here" mindset, and all the repercussions that it can have. Unfortunately, JBPatch is an example. They successfully stifled an extremely interesting endeavour by destroying it through behaving like .... (*looking up euphemisms*) ... (*couldn't find any*) ... well, like they did. |

If it wasn't for the "not invented here" in the case of the Collection Manger - - They **should** just hire you to adapt it to their internal requirements and adopt it. or a "Private Label" version of it (the author can multiple license his work as he sees fit). I think they should also "buy" a "Private Label" version of Komic. |

See recent discussion on Hacker News. But, again, IANAL, so maybe discussed points are FUD. Also, WTFPL is much funnier than MIT. |

Kindle 5 (non touch)
Hello frends,
could you write me if it's possible to apply this path to my Kindle 5? It's Kindle 4 made in 2012 - it's black and without touch screen too. |

No, not out of the box. Yes, if you adapt the source code of JBPatch itself for the K4, and write patches for the K4 firmwares.

If you used that term, you are more likely to catch the eye of people who know that model. The "Kindle 5" term is a marketing name given to the K4B. - - - - - Unless your in Russia, where that is the commonly used name for the K4B. |

1. To display the current time (not to press the "menu" key) 2. To get hyphenations in old mobi format without convertation. 3. Swap surname and name of the author and possibly hide the middle name without convertation. Example: Julian Patrick Barnes. I want to see: "Barnes Julian" while sorting by author. |

1. Port JBPatch to the K4.
2. Decompile the firmware to find where the respective functionality is implemented. 3. Write patch to adapt the functionality. (Check the first post for links to two small HOWTOs) 4. Publish the results of 1.) and 3.) here. If you are having problems with a particular step, feel free to ask - but please, precise and specific questions. And, read this first: http://whathaveyoutried.com/ |
