I've tried everything to get this to work and I still don't understand why I can not use the short cuts.
Jailbroken, installed Launchpad properly, and i'm pressing the keys in a sequence and fairly quickly (as opposed to pressing them at the same time. To install I added the correct bin file (K3 W) and copied the launchpad source tree to the root directory of my kindle. When I enter, for instance, Shift followed by Shift followed by R does not reboot the Kindle. Can some one clue me in here? I'm running the K3WIFI with the jailbreak provided by yifanlu v3.1. Thanks in advance! Last edited by dansemacabre; 10-11-2011 at 08:22 PM. Reason: Fixed |

I edited my ini file and I wrote it: [Actions] A S = !MUSIC=records; [ -d "/mnt/us/$MUSIC" ] || mkdir -p "/mnt/us/$MUSIC"; arecord -qN /mnt/us/$MUSIC/$(date +'%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S').wav & A E = !pkill -f arecord But trying to initialize the dictaphone with launchpad, the message which must be "success" shows "failure". And I think the problem must be in my changes in record.ini file. Pls help. |

jaxsnop,
RECDIR is a Bash variable, in your ini file you've just changed its name. You need to change its value, i.e. "records" to something else: Code:
[Actions]
A S = !RECDIR=music; [ -d "/mnt/us/$RECDIR" ] || mkdir -p "/mnt/us/$RECDIR"; arecord -qN /mnt/us/$RECDIR/$(date +'%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S').wav &
A E = !pkill -f arecord

Put this in one of your launchpad ini files:
Shift N = !/test/bin/usbnetwork (That would require you to press shift shift n in order to toggle usbnetwork on/off. Change it to suit yourself.) |

Hi
K3GB 3.3 When I install LP and key in commands, after it has updated and shown the Home screen, they work. When I restart the Kindle e.g. to load Duokan or after putting a custom .ini file in the LP directory then everything runs v slowly and the key sequences don't work to bring up anything. It's restored to normal by uninstalling LP not just the custom .ini. JB (latest) is installed and Freedownload too. These work. LP works at first but then stops after a restart. Any ideas? Thanks UPDATE: Sorted by turning the Duokan system off in Duokan's Settings menu. After a couple of restarts works fine now. Don't know what that means for ease of starting up Duokan tho'! Also BIG thanks to all those who generously expended time & effort on these hacks as they make life with the Kindle much better.... Last edited by alban; 11-13-2011 at 11:47 AM. |

Hi, I have used the 0.10N k3g installer for jailbreaking my kindle and I can use the usbNetwork connection to ssh/scp files to that location. I believe that since ~usbNetwork works this means my jailbreak is working, is this assumption correct?
However, when I scp the launchpad installer (the lpad-pkg-0.1c.zip version binary for k3g) into /mnt/us/ and then run "Update" the update fails to install. I have the kindle 3G (US) with firmware 3.3 . Any idea about my problems? Also just out of curiousity what is required to compile the launchpad source? Does it need to be compiled on the kindle using the tinyC compiler/lib? I can't imagine compiling it on x86_64 arch linux since I don't have a mips proc and the binary would be completely different. p.s. thanks to everyone in the scene for your excellent work in taking this device up another notch p.p.s I am setting mntroot rw since I need to allow scp to copy the file, but I haven't been setting mntroot back to r only, I will try this later today to see if it will fix it.

Also, a (VirtualBox) linux virtual machine containing everything needed in order to develop code for kindle was built, it can be used for a quick start. HTH. P.S. there's nothing to do with mntroot while installing the launchpad.. |

If I am running usbNetwork does that mean that I have jailbroken my kindle properly? (I just want to know so I can cross it off my potential suspects list). Edit: Transferring binary via disk mode made no difference, The error code I see is U007. Last edited by mpetersen3; 11-21-2011 at 03:59 PM. |

- yes, it looks like you have jailbroken your kindle properly
- it is not clear from your initial post what particular file you use to install launchpad. Based on your device type you have to unpack the zip archive and use the update_launchpad_0.0.1c_k3g_install.bin - it is possible that the old binary update file above is not compatible with your modern jailbreak/OS version, and this is the reason why you get U007 update error. Repacking the update binary can help in this case. Please refer to jailbreak-related topics. |

h1uke covered all the answers.. I agree with them.
One more thing though: You don't need to run mntroot in order to write to /mnt/us, which is a separate filesystem from the root fs. |
