NetFront me!

thatworkshop · 08-23-2015, 01:52 PM

Hello neighbors!

Can someone who has root access extract the netfront engine and its required libraries etc. and email me through PM. It might become useful for Kindle. Thanks.

Why don't you do it yourself. All the f/w pointed to in the thread Direct Links to Kobo Firmware are full versions, and you can extract what you want from them.

Well, I have never had a Kobo and I was hoping people well-versed in its inners and outers would help me... Looking at those firmware, I couldn't spot netfront!!!

Netfront is not there as a separate program; rather Kobo has integrated the main part of both their Access and RMSDK readers in a main program called nickel which in turn doe s have some separate lib files it loads. How you would split out Netfront by itself I have no idea.

That, and the Kobo has been a hard-float system for a while, while the Kindle isn't, so, zero chance of mixing binaries anyway

Thanks NiLuJe and Peter for the input.

Have you tried the SDK?
