Just putting this here so that it gets more notice, I managed to use the aforementioned active_content_sandbox to change the Kindle browser's orientation (without jailbreaking).

Note that this process has only been tested on the KT4.
- Download SQLite Browser.
- Open SQLite browser and select "Open Database" on the top ribbon.
- Navigate to the .active_content_sandbox/browser/resource/LocalStorage/ folder on your Kindle. Select file__0.localstorage. Note that you may have to select "All files (*)" in the file type drop-down.
- When the database opens, select the "Browse Data" tab.
- In the table, click on the value column in the "settings" row. (It should hold JSON containing the browser settings). It will open on the right. Modify the "orientation" key, replacing it with the desired orientation. (Possible values: 'auto', 'portrait', 'portraitUp', 'portraitDown', 'landscape', 'landscapeLeft', 'landscapeRight')
- Click the apply button below the edit box.
- Click "Write Changes" on the top ribbon.
You're done! The changes should take effect next time you open the browser. |
