For the past four hours, me and my good friend WinSCP have been digging into the Kindle filesystem, trying to figure out
how on Earth settings are stored on this thing. So for the veteran developers here, two questions:
- Is there a central settings storage location I'm not aware of? The closest thing I've found is /var/local/java/prefs, but those files look autogenerated and possibly incomplete.
- Is there any way to get to the part of the Settings booklet that contains the device personalization stuff Amazon doesn't let you change without registering? The wiki has an example here that passes a parameter when launching Settings, but where did whoever wrote it get that parameter? Is there a list? Do I have to learn how to decompile JARs?
The reason I'm doing this is really because of the new home screen, which wastes more than half of its screen space trying to convince me to register my Kindle. With that in mind, my last request: if anyone here has jailbroken their Kindle, upgraded to 5.7.2, registered and disabled the home screen, could you
pretty please post your /var/local/java/prefs/com.lab126.booklet.home.preferences file? Or at least tell me if and how it differs from this one:
Code:
