AFAIK there is currently no way of setting the priority for a Java implemented launcher item outside of the code itself. |

One more extension: load/unload Reading Timer reader plugin (hidden feature present on newer Kindle PaperWhite). Can anybody help me (or address me) on generating a proper install/uninstall package?

@pirl8
Niluje released an updated packager to make the .bin files. It's an updated version of the original python script. Have a look here EDIT: NOW FIXED. Cheers Niluje http://www.mobileread.mobi/forums/sh...d.php?t=187880 Last edited by twobob; 09-16-2012 at 02:23 PM. |

@twobob: Broken link (the ellipsis isn't a fake one ).
@pirl8: Between the examples in there and ixtab's packages, you should have enough reading material to get how this works . |

@pirl8: Feel free to create an installer package, but I personally think it's a bit over the top.
After all, the installation is achieved by copying a folder into the "extensions" folder on the USB disk, and restarting the framework. That's exactly the same amount of effort as copying a bin file to the USB disk and updating the framework. |

Does this work with the Paperwhite, too? I've been trying to get it to install without any luck. "Update Your Kindle" is grayed out, and when I remount my PW, the update file is gone from the root directory.

If you're really adventurous, you can try to install it manually via usbnetwork. But because the home screen has been completely changed on the PW, chances are that you'll just entirely screw up everything - maybe up to the point of bricking the device. And remember, the only current known way to debrick the device is via a serial console - physically opening the device and all that. So: no, at this point it is NOT recommended to try this on the PW.

Hi!
My Kindle details are: Kindle Touch fw: 5.1.2 I've installed Jailbreak 1.7N but the "update your Kindle" option doesn't work after I've put the BIN of the Gui Launcher Installer. I did everything as it have to but it doesn't work. Could you help me? |

Maybe you have to use the command to update your kindle manually over console or usbnetwork if you have a .bin file in your root (mnt/us/).
Code:

I managed to run this on paperwhite, but the keyboard part doesn't get displayed. Any ideas?

Hey guys, I need a little help getting this working. I'm trying to install this so that I can use the K5 Reading Timer launcher extension.
During installation, the kindle gave me a message saying that the update was successful and rebooted. The problem is I do not see a new launcher option in the home screen menu, nor in the book menu. My Kindle Touch with SOs is on 5.1.2 and it is jailbroken (with the data.stgz file). No other hacks have been applied. Here are the steps I took to install: 1. extracted and copied the update_launcher_1.0.1_install.bin file (and nothing else) to the root directory of my kindle while it was mounted as a usb drive. 2. Unmounted my kindle and disconnected the usb cable. 3. used Menu > Settings, Menu > Update your Kindle The update did install an extensions folder with sub-folders and files for orientation and usbnetwork. I also followed the steps to add the reading timer extension and rebooted, but of course I still do not see the "Launcher" menu item, nor any other additional menu options that I didn't already have before. Did I miss an installation step? Last edited by dukesilver; 01-04-2013 at 04:59 PM. |
