(I usually do both ^^). |
Sadly, on my K1, I tried setting permissions on both scripts and executables, but even though they show as executable in "ls -lash", trying to source them or execute them gives a "not found" error on my K1. BTW, K1 scripts use "." instead of "source", but even so, I could not get it to work.
Also, I can only find full-flash update. Contrast 7 does not work, nor does
eips '', however, like the K5, trying to display a missing image with
eips (
-b option instead of
-g) does force a page refresh (as does
echo 1 > /proc/eink_fb/update_display), though I only tested from scripts so no ioctl attempts yet.
gmplay will need an update to support
/dev/fb/0 on the K1 instead of
/dev/fb0 on all the newer kindles.
Anyway, I am getting K1 "animation" with
dd in my update install script, though at only about ONE FPS full-flash updates (if you can even call that "animation").
Enough for awhile -- I have outdoors chores awaiting, not that the snow seems to be gone for now...
Thanks much for keeping the kindletool up to date. I eventually want a KUAL-like jailbreak "substitute" that will use the same tricks as jailbreak, but will launch a root GUI menu like KUAL from an "Update Your Kindle", so it can be used by folks who wish to not mod their root or var filesystems (and the K1 does not even have persistent /var/ anyway)...
