The one for 5.8.7 is here:

But I don't see any reports that it works on a KT2, it might not or it might not have all functions that work.
Just like you found.

Each firmware build that Amazon does changes the obfuscation of the Java part of the system.
And just because the firmware version number is the same, the build number on different devices may be different.

"Fixing" it for a different build is no different than the work needed to be done to make it work on another firmware version.

CM is in a public repository - you can just check the changes made from commit to commit to find the details.
Use NiLuJe's repository rather than ixtab's repository.
If there are still any outstanding pull requests, pull and commit those to bring your clone of NiLuJe's repository up to date.
