Hi guys, long time no see!

The other day I got bored and decided I'd love to use my kindle as a little tablet again, but I didn't feel like editing the launcher again to hardcode a different host and password... So instead I built a frontend that prompts you!

I couldn't figure out a way to call any sort of native dialog boxes, and it doesn't look like KUAL provides that functionality, so my solution was kind kludgey and convoluted.

I have a script calling kterminal to launch another script that uses zsh's built-in ncurses functionality to draw dialog boxes asking for your hostname and password.

Features I've implemented include full mouse/touchscreen support, functional backspace, enter, and esc keys, working ok and cancel buttons.

This works great on my paperwhite. I assume it won't work properly on other devices, but I have no way to test.

Anyway, I've included everything in the form of a KUAL extension. Just drop the kindlevncviewer folder into your extensions directory and you should be good to go.

Requires kterminal to be installed, also requires zsh to be installed to /usr/bin. On my system it was already there. Might have been included in the jailbreak. It's also included in usbnetworking.

Try it out and let me know if you run into any issues!
