The correct mix of 2.5.8 and 4.3.2 files is my real problem. I really don't know what files I should upgrade. The files originally added and replaced from the 3.1 should be safe to upgrade while leaving the remaining 2.5.8 files in place. There might still be something I don't know about and that is why I hesitate.
I do have the Kindle Keyboard with 3G already updated to 3.4.2 and I could always just take the desired files from there and put them in the DXG. I should be able to recover using Yifan Lu's recovery kernel and my saved rootfs.img from before the experiment. The kindles are just so unfamiliar to me especially with the Java that I don't feel confident to know the files I should upgrade.
I would really just like to update the webkit part for the TLS and browser improvements. I don't want to disturb the actual operation of the DXG just the application for browsing the internet. The webkit is open source and included in the Amazon k3g source code so that would be nice to be able to do separately.
I feel I could use your techniques to finally upgrade my DXG to the 3.4.2 applications if I only wouldn't disturb the software needed by the DXG and that is now beyond my understanding.
