Tools Snapshots of NiLuJe's hacks - Page 16

NiLuJe · 07-18-2016, 07:49 PM

Okay, a fun round of updates!

News:
* Reworked the CRP. It *might* actually work on the Oasis & KT3. It might also trigger false-positives when you have weird OTG crap plugged in

.
On the other hand, we have *no idea* if the RP is actually safe on those devices, so, here be dragons (i.e., don't use this). (Need someone with SSH access to assess that, poke me on IRC).

Better News:
* Released the Booklet port of KUAL. This means that KOA & KT3 users should now be able to use KUAL, yay!

Since the release doc isn't up to date (pending testing), a quick rundown:

In the KUAL tarball, you'll now find update packages (one installer, one uninstaller). First, install MRPI as if you had KUAL up & running. Then, push the KUALBooklet installer to the mrpackages folder.
Finally, enter ;log mrpi in the Homescreen's searchbar to run MRPI and install KUAL.
Wait.
Click KUAL document.
Enjoy.

Obviously, this is fairly new & bleeding edge, so, here be dragons.
So far, it didn't blow up (much) on my Touch & my PW2, but, you never know...
Be ready with SSH access if need be.

Oh, and don't be sad that it's not *completely* full screen like on my previous screenshot, because that turned out to be half a feature, half a bug

.

I can confirm that this works on KOA and I have KUAL up and running.
Now for Fonts Hack...

homeceo43 · 07-20-2016, 10:54 AM

I was also able to successfully install KUAL on the KOA.

NiLuJe · 07-20-2016, 12:09 PM

Fantastic, thanks for the feedback

.

If nothing horribly blows up and I can't find anything new to tweak, I'll push an updated release of KUAL. That'll help a bit to untangle the docs

.

Okay, so maybe I'm not doing something right. But after using ;log mrpi with the package in the folder, it seems to install it - all of the output looks positive. However, once the device comes back up... I don't see a KUAL document of any kind. Did I miss something?

I freshly restored, downgraded, jailbroke, hotfixed, and updated to 5.8.1.0.1, and tried again. But I don't see a way to launch KUAL.

What am I missing? My KOA is the 3G version, if that would make any difference.

NiLuJe · 07-21-2016, 04:30 AM

@zeel: Check MRPI's log, check your *local* Library view (sort by Recent).

LastSilmaril · 07-21-2016, 05:36 AM

Anything important changed in the 7/20 snapshots?
ED: My apologies. I was not up to the last page.

NiLuJe · 07-21-2016, 01:56 PM

@LastSilmaril: For reference, full Changelogs are bundled in each and every tarball.

eschwartz · 07-21-2016, 02:02 PM

NiLuJe, when are you going to update the main KUAL thread?

It seems the Booklet works fine

so might as well make it easier for people to find?

NiLuJe · 07-21-2016, 02:06 PM

That's on the menu for today, yeah

.

EDIT: Done. Also updated first posts for my K5 stuff, and ninja-refreshed release packages there, pending a proper release Soon.

Okay, it's definitely not creating a document. As for the log,should that be in \extensions\MRInstaller\log? Because that folder is empty.

NiLuJe · 07-21-2016, 03:33 PM

@zeel: Then you're probably doing something wrong along the way.

What do you see on your screen (in details) after running ;log mrpi?

I see...

Quote:

Hush, little baby...

Launching MR Installer...

Checking KUALBooklet v2.6.40 I
Destroying Package...

Done, restarting UI...

And now that I took a video of that and slowed it down, I realize that doesn't seem like a successful message.

NiLuJe · 07-21-2016, 04:44 PM

@zeel: Right, then you definitely should have a log in extensions/mrinstaller/log, which will tell you exactly why the package was discarded

.

For ref., what are the first 6 characters of your S/N?
