I just used the option in the settings menu to restart in Kindle, which works perfectly. Now if I can just get the wireless going, I might not go back to Kindle. Sorry, I just did a restart and saw that there is indeed a 3rd option. And it does not say "yo momma". I'm afraid it might be the self-destruct button, placed there in case the authorities arrive while you are reading.... ? Last edited by montalex; 11-06-2010 at 05:19 PM.

You may have it timeout and default to either system. (This menu is one of the binary pages ) @Rinzwind: - sound like you have something wrong - perhaps tried to edit something ? If you exceed some fixed string lengths, or some errors with linefeed/carriage return, it will try restart and if that does not help, it will default to original (Amazon) system. ( something may need recompilation. As it is gnu/linux, source should be available as the original system, I suppose. ) The interesting part would be to include different languages. In Chinese, the switch back and forth between different versions. A similar system could be switching from different language dictionary lookups, alphabets, pronounceiations, etc. It really has potential - if opensource. |

WiFi internet access on the Kindle 3 should certainly be do-able, though. |

opensource - an English/Russian system is not likely to be developed by the Chinese. I base some of the idea on how they flip between traditional/simple Chinese, etc. (AFAIK)

[QUOTE=FethryDuck;1202344]I have not downloaded this english version ( just broke my arm, not in shape ) but - the 3rd line says something like default - which correspond to your setting in system menu.
You may have it timeout and default to either system. (This menu is one of the binary pages ) There is a setting in the setting menu for Default reboot by Kindle, which can be turned on or off. |

The default font for my books after installing Duokan was HelveticaNeue LT Medium. When I change to a different font, then try to return to this one, it is not on the list of available fonts.

I, too, like the Helvetica font, but as I mentioned above, once I changed it, I couldn't get it back. Any suggestions? |

Hey guys i cant figure out why the firmware isnt installing for me. I added all three folders to the root, and since i have a K2 US i added its bin update to my root. Yet every time i hit update on my kindle it says that update has failed and restarts. I have no clue what i am doing wrong could use some help. THX.

Also, try the Kindle 2i bin. You may have an international Kindle. It won't work if it is not the right bin. No worries. Last edited by montalex; 11-06-2010 at 10:06 PM. |

No i added just the file. I get to the update screen but at the point it tells me that the update failed and then it restarts.
Im beginning to wonder if my jailbreak is affecting it. Im pretty sure its the US edition I checked the back and its B002 which i think is the US edition. Right? Also the error i get in the bottom left hand corner is U007. Last edited by zeroman9121; 11-06-2010 at 10:25 PM. |

Edit: Nevermind. You are right. B002 is the U.S. edition. I'd delete the files you copied over to Kindle root, and do the whole thing again. Maybe tomorrow someone who knows more that I do (not difficult) will come in and help. Sorry. Last edited by montalex; 11-06-2010 at 10:29 PM. |

Zeroman, my friend says that you should restart your Kindle, then recopy the update and try it again.
that means a real restart, from menu/settings/menu/restart |
