Hacks How to package a new keyboard layout for Touch/Paperwhite

gdamjan · 06-21-2014, 09:08 PM

I've created a keyboard layout for macedonnian language (uses cyrillic).
I've tested it on both Touch and Paperwhite (with firmware 5.x), but I've used ssh access to get the original "keyboard.cramfs.img" add the layout to it, hack the utils.so file and package it again.

I'd like to make a simpler method now, that would be useful for people that otherwise wouldn't be comforable to use a unix shell. What is my best option here?

Search/Ask in the Dev corner, I think a few people have done something similar already.
