Described below is a simple technique of trying
Duokan software on your Kindle.
Those who want to take a look at it, but also want adding anything to the protected
area of Kindle root filesystem might be especially interested.
The only prerequisite is
launchpad (which requires
jailbreak in order to be installed).
Select needed files from Duokan installation archive and copy them over to the Kindle:
- download Duokan archive following the link above and unpack it somewhere on your PC.
Only
DK_Documents,
DK_Pictures and
DK_System folders are of interest.
- create a temporary folder (
dklite) somewhere on your PC and copy the following to it:
- DK_Documents -- empty folder
- DK_Pictures -- empty folder
- DK_System/lib -- recursively, including all subfolders and files
- DK_System/system -- recursively, including all subfolders and files
- DK_System/Savers -- recursively, including all subfolders and files
- DK_System/bin -- only three files: DKPrivateProfile, doc2html, ebook
- in
DK_System/DK_Update locate subfolder (
dx dxg k2 k3) corresponding to your Kindle model
and copy
- DK_System/DK_Update/<your-model>/DK_System/Savers - recursively
- DK_System/DK_Update/<your-model>/DK_System/system - recursively
- DK_System/DK_Update/<your-model>/DK_System/config.ini
over to the temporary folder (
dklite)
- make sure the
dklite folder now contains the following:
Code:
./DK_Documents:
./DK_Pictures:
./DK_System:
Savers
bin
config.ini
