Ok, so I figured that it's time to address this topic once and for all, because there seems to be a lot of confusion, and a lot of unnecessary duplication of the same answers again and again

Many users simply don't seem to get that the (device) jailbreak and the Kindlet jailbreak(KJB) are two different beasts. The reason is pretty clear. So, the term "jailbreak" should probably be reserved exclusively for the device jailbreak, and we'll have to come up with a fancy new name for the KJB.

Here are a couple of proposals, in no particular order:
- Kindlet Enhancer
- Kindlet Liberator (*note: might again cause confusion, because there's also Librerator)
- Kindlet Restrictions Removal Kit
- Kindlet Emancipator
- Kindlet Savior

I don't want to influence you folks, but I like "Kindlet Restrictions Removal Kit" (KRRK) best. But maybe someone has a catchier idea?

I thought about adding a poll to this post, but then only my suggestions would be selectable. So I'll go without a poll.

Thoughts/comments?

PS: Yes, it's only the name that changes (the functionality is practically unchanged -- and keeps working -- since I originally wrote it for the K3). But ideally, all Kindlets that use it should be updated to use that new name, and the relevant threads as well. Luckily, I think that this would mostly affect my own stuff, and KUAL/ the "NiLuJe's snapshots" thread. That's a little bit of work, but worth it in the long run IMO.
