Literary Clock on Kindle 4

boarder2k7 · 12-20-2020, 11:19 AM

I'm sure everyone has seen this instructable at this point.

I'm trying to get this set up as a Christmas gift on a Kindle 4. I have the jailbreak done, python installed, USB ethernet working, ssh access, etc.

I'm stuck on how/where to add the shell scripts to make this work, and how/if they need to be modified. It is my understanding that launchpad will not run on/is not for this model kindle, so I have installed KUAL instead (which is also working). I'm just not sure how to go about the last step of getting this all buttoned up to run from KUAL.

Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

I try and make a KUAL extension

Which from within menu.json runs startstopClock.sh

That was my reason for loading KUAL, I'm just not sure how to actually implement that since the instructions and paths are all set up for using launchpad.
