I just wrote up the entire work flow - including the 'noob mistake' of just plugging in the cable, enabling USBnetwork, and expecting it to work.

I started out the post with the (wrong) steps on purpose - so new readers could see the difference between what they did and what was required.

@knc1 and @Ixtab

Much appreciate the thoughts on delaying the launch, suicide() and the usbnetworking guide.

I'll shove a delay in as Ixtab suggested asap and see if that "helps"

Thanks guys.

(Oh, and I updated the docs to indicate that you install installer bins "one-at-a-time")

0.2.2 "shut down" and "open something else" delay added.
logo evolution
bugfix release

updated azw2's

just swap out the old one for the new one like always.

Enjoy. Let me know if anything explodes.

ixtab, would you consider making the paginated menu roll over to first page when right arrow is pressed on the last page?

Excellent performance increase. Even more marked on the slower devices as expected.
Even on a tiny workset the performance is WELL WORTH the upgrade.

Superb work.

@stepk: great stuff, thanks!

@stepk, twobob: I'm looking into the wrap-around paging, and into the execution/suicide timing stuff, right now. I'll send twobob a PM once I committed something. So the upcoming new version could hopefully include all 3 enhancements at once.

Erk... I commited for 0.2.3..

Tiny changes though.

I will wait on the 0.2.3 release then... (looks at ready-to-roll thingies...)

Meh, Nah. Let's just bump again when we are "ready to go" for 0.2.4 : )

*goes off to update thread*

Excited about your works!!! : D



EDIT:

How did I not read that before??? sorry would have waited.

Just committed version 0.3.0 to the repository. Since this is a rapidly evolving project with quite a few people involved and contributing (BTW: thank you all!), I'll just post my comments in this thread - it's not like there's anything secret anyway.

So:

- I moved the execution of the script to the time when the Kindlet is terminating. (Hopefully) no more timing issues that we need to work around with sleep calls. This should be as close as we can get to "chaining" executions (thanks knc1 for the heads up!). I tested it on all my 4 devices with pretty much only the helper scripts installed, and it seemed to work correctly - I tested usbnetwork toggle, and 711 screen.

- Still using "background launcher scripts", though - for the simple reason that the commands could contain command chaining with pipes etc. (dummy example: "ls|wc"), and Java won't handle that correctly, so putting it into a .sh file and then running that seems like a good and robust solution.

- It's not horribly important, but I think that the launcher scripts could even delete themselves after running the target commands. Unless I'm totally wrong, something like
Code:
#!/bin/sh
/path/to/real_exec &
rm $0
should work, shouldn't it? (That's pretty much what the current background launchers produce, except for the last line, of course).
But as said, not too important: these files are small, and they're deleted everytime the launcher kindlet is launched anyway.

- @stepk: With all the great input you've provided, I'll be happy to give you commit access to the repository. Let me know if you want it.

- @twobob: Along the same lines, I guess that the logo could/should simply be the egg. No need for our nicknames at the bottom, and the egg will look even nicer without the black background there

fixed in top post.

will filter out if I find any more busted linked things.

Yes - the prerequisites should be solid now.

I have a suspicion that invocation of sh -c "ls|wc &" will work as well as execution of temporary script with ls|wc &
