Koreader - Modified version for max performances on Kindle PW

NEW UPDATE: I'm trying to fix koreader problem in a new way. Download the very last koreader release from here
https://code.google.com/p/koreader-p...downloads/list
It already integrates the steps below, so you don't need to follow them anymore. Now, you have just one thing to do. Open the file defaults.lua from koreader folder, and repleace the line of DHINTCOUNT with:

DHINTCOUNT = 0

And the one of DGLOBAL_CACHE_SIZE with:
DGLOBAL_CACHE_SIZE = 1024*1024*20


BONUS: If you read technical pdf, I recommend also that you set
DRCOUNTMAX = 1
To let the screen refresh at every page turn

Stay tuned with this post, because it need to be tested for a while, and I need your feedback. If you expeperience problem, try first to use the (no framework) modes or restart the system.

You don't need to read further in this message.



(OLD MESSAGE CONTINUES)
Spoiler:

Tired of dealing with crashes and crappy performances using Koreader on Kindle Paperwhite with your HUGE pdf books? Expecially when trying to reflow them? Don't worry, here is the solution:

1) Download THIS version of koreader:
https://code.google.com/p/koreader-p...7.zip&can=2&q=
(Its quite stable on this device, and should have less limitations to the cache then latest version)

2) Extract the folders on your Kindle Paperwhite

3) Do the same with the patch in the archive below. You will be prompted to overwrite two file

Now you will see two new entries in the kual menu:
- Start koreader without framework
- Open last document without framework

What are they for? They simply start koreader in a different way, after killing the system framework. This means lots of extra RAM memory, free and available for processing your huge pdf files!

Just two cons if you are launching koreader this way:
- Your beautiful screensavers won't appear until you close the program
- Closing koreader will take some extra time, because it will also restart the framework

Last thing: you could still experience some crash, but they won't be memory-releated anymore (better, I hope so). I'll try to test and provide you the best stable versione to use with this trick and Kindle PW.
