      switch(fork())
      {

          {
            execlp("/bin/sh", "sh", "-c", "/usr/bin/lipc-set-prop -s com.lab126.keyboard close net.fabiszewski.leafpad", NULL);
          }
        case -1:
          perror("Failed to open keyboard\n");
          exit(1);
      } 


It's all under GPL.

You don't have to credit me for this

Or, ask the original author for permission to re-use the code snippet under a different license.

Keep in mind that a case statement can always be re-written as if statements.

Looks like maybe 30 minutes of work at the most.

Then, post sources or a link to the sources and take up twobob's offer to build it for all devices except the K1 (too old).

Very good of you.

I definitely like it, and it is a reason for the opening. If twobob ready to port the program to different Kindles, I will publish the source code under an open source license. Specific code very little, all major functions work under my Windows desktop.

[twobob]

Sure am....

I will share my general concepts when I get it done.

He is ready.

By now he probably has more experience at building Kindle software than lab126 does (at least he makes fewer mistakes).

Yeah, bashing lab126 again. Only because they manage to get some fool to pay them for their *&^%$%^ code.

Insert politically correct statement here. I can't think of one

Ok! Also I committed my small gtk+ wrapper library, as a part of the project.

For information: code is crossplatform. I developed this under windows in Code Blocks IDE. It would be nice if possibility of working in this environment remained after modifications

Long enough ago that I had (may still have) a shell account on the system.

Okay, I added you.

Thanks. Pulled it down.

file ./explorer.o

./explorer.o: ELF 32-bit LSB relocatable, ARM, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped

Okay... looking good. thanks - I will fiddle

(PICTURED ON A KINDLE TOUCH, Just to get the ball rolling : )


1st OBVIOUS problem? the EXIT button is hidden!!! LOL hehehee.

will work on that.

ssh root@kt
Welcome to KT (192.168.15.244)
[root@kindle root]# killall -9 explorer

work fine for now for those who are "STUCK"

I won't be indexing this for KUAL until that is fixed.

I COULD list it as Paperwhite Only... but I guarantee you someone will install it on a touch anyhow... So yeah... fix required.

800 x 600 for the lover devices.

fun!!!
