E.g. changing to "music" will give you an option to play the records with MPlayer.
Generated filenames contain date, time and .wav extension:
2011-02-28_09-32-06.wav

Always make sure to stop the recording or you will run out of space after some time.

I made directory RECDRIVE in root of Kindle (USB root)
I put record.ini in launchpad and restart Kindle

for sequence shiftAS is anwers succes
but
for sequence shiftAE is answers failure

any idea?

I have FW 3,4 now

When i had FW 3,2 dictaphone worked whitout problems
I have jailbreak 0,11N a nd launchpad work corect
(a use FBreader Coolreader and other whitout problem)

My questions is: Are dictaphone daemon in FW3,4 stoped or modified?

Show exactly what you entered. put it in code blocks.

Then we can look and have a guess. until then it would be pure guessing.

My problem is solved
I need new record.ini, I need text

Good text for Kindle3 keyboard 3,4 Firmware

A E = !pkill -f arecord

Of course is to create folder audible(or records) in root of Kindle
I have made it before my question

and press some keys...

I think that's the reason why I cannot exit terminal by pressing Left<.
Could you give me some hints on how to exit the terminal when the keycode is wrong (I'm using 3.x firmware on dxg)?

Restart the machine with the power button.

Hmm.. This application was originally developed FOR a DX...

Let me go abuse the one we have here. one sec

EDIT: HOME button

twobob · 04-09-2013, 04:15 PM

If that DOESN'T work..

Give me the value from waitforkey and I'll compare it to my value. Then you can just shove it in the ini.

Thank you twobob, I tried different ways to quit and finally, after typing exit+ enter, it came back to normal.
I think it's because the firmware I used..

Anyway thank you for your reply.

Ok...I'm not stupid, I can use a pc and I can use my Kindle. But I don't know how either one works, and really don't care - as long as they do! Can someone like me learn to make a hotkey for the select on my 5-way controller? It cracked down the middle, still moves in all directions, just won't select. Can't get to any of my books, some of which are college books which I need for class.
Any help that anyone can give me would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Do you have kindle dx with a knob joystick? Try to replace it. It is pretty cheap nokia n73 button. 1-3$.

Will it work in kindle paper white 2? I need it to use the VNC viewer.
Thanks.

Where do you see a keyboard on the PW2?

(Above the microphone, between the stereo speakers.)
yes, I have had those sort of days also.

Hi, I have a kindle dxg (2.5.8) and try to replace my broken five way controller the following way:
W = #'FW_Up'
X = #'FW_Down'
A= #'FW_Left'
D = #'FW_Right'
S = #'FW_Press'
I tried to press Shift Shift Space and it read the script with success.

But if I press Shift X, nothing happens...
