Kindlepaperwhite beginners questions

readandread · 05-16-2013, 11:54 AM

I guess, I'm also new to Kindle Jailbreaking (but William Wallace would be proud!), although I have jailbroken the iPhone, rooted my Android phone and installed custom ROMs on there. So I do got come basic knowledge of those things even though I'm not super techy and can program

So here are my questions:

1. Once I have jailbroken the Amazon firmware, I can install the Duokan 2013 as a quasi dual boot, correct? Would it make sense to work with the jailbroken Amazon firmware and Duokan 2013 when installing additional "apps" and hacks? So in essense having 2 "open" fimrwares to work with? What are they drawback when working with Duokan 2013 vs Amazon jailbroken firmware?

2. Can I assume that Duokan 2013 support these apps & hacks here too? https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Kindle_Touch_Hacking

3. Is there any way to change the clock to 24h on the US locale on Paperwhite? There seems to be a solution for the KT but not Kindle PW

I have a new Kindle PW Wifi with firmware version 5.3.3, which I've read can't jailbroken unless you upgrade to 3.5.3, which I will do.

1) better on the duokan thread to ask that really... but basically I believe they have KUAL support now.

2) hmm... well.. the device should, regardless of duokan

3) eerrrr... you got me on that one. I reckon it might be in a TZ file but that is a guess... its 24H by default I think *looks at his UK one* well mine is... get back to you on that.

You need to Downgrade it. to 5.3.1 Then JB, (with bridge), then upgrade. Takes not very long. ten/twenty mins or something. Longer to find all the right files/threads : D

Hmm...
One hour between post and post - -
With a thread index that is 94 pages long, that is pretty quick reading.
What - 45 seconds per index page?

(shakes head)

I know I'm tired, but... What'd he say???

Scratch that. I was just looking at THIS thread, not the doukan thread. (sic)
