I was able to open Kindlelazy in the launcher and even flip my screen (even though it didn't flip the touchscreen reception, so I had to reverse my taps in the xy axis). Would that be a sign that the kernels match or not quite?
Thanks!

You'll need to install USBNetwork (found in
this thread) and SSH to your Kindle. Once you've done this, type:
On my PW3, the output is:
Code:
Linux kindle 3.0.35-lab126 #2 PREEMPT Fri Oct 12 06:16:25 PDT 2018 armv7l GNU/Linux
The relevant part here is the kernel version number, which in this case is 3.0.35.
To check whether your USB hub is being detected, try these steps whilst connected to your Kindle over SSH:
- Unplug the USB hub
- Type dmesg | tail at the prompt
- Plug the hub back into the Kindle
- Type dmesg | tail at the prompt once again
The output should change after you run the command for the second time, possibly with messages relating to USB device detection. Post the output here and we can help you further.
