As I said in a previous post, I'm using the KTRotate_0.2 in 5.0.3 and the images are showed cut off. It would be great to fix this issue with a new version of the rotation hack (KTRotate_0.3 for example).

OK, but as I wrote, the 0.2 should install a modified file to solve this issue.

UPDATE:

SORRY, I haven't read properly. You are talking abour images, not text.

No, this issue is not solbed yet

Ok, I have been preparing two images to show this issue.
The image is shown cut off in both portrait and landscape views.

1) "La mano negra" it's a beatutifull book, nice shot
2) me and other people trying to fix this (pirl8), right now are under exam-work, so we haven't much time.. as i am not updating my kindle, everything still works fine, i am planning to make a full backup of it, then compare with the 5.03 update and make a sort of downgrade tool to go back to 5.0.1

less fast while reading, but at least it works

I am not able to download the mp3 file zip.
Is the link dead ?

Use ixtab's data.tar.gz jailbreak, then install this hack. mp3-based hacks no longer work on newer firmware while data.tar.gz-based work on all versions right now.

Hi Mr Wolf,

Thanks for showing a way to get to the KT without jaibreaking the device. Do I have to copy the folder "extensions" to any place?

Thanks

Do I have to copy the extensions folder (after unzipping the rotate_refresh.zip) to any place? Thanks

Hi guy, i downloaded and installed the last version of auto rotation hack.
First of all thank you for your work.
I have just one problem: in landscape mode when i try to highlight a word i can't because if i'm in the second third of the page it jumps back to the first third.
Do you have same problem?
Is there a way to fix it?
Tx

I have tried to install the hack 0.2 install bin several times, and each time I still get the 007 error.

Any help would be appreciated!

007 is a missing jailbreak

Is it true? I don't use any landscape mode hack, but following chunk of Lua code rotates Home screen on 5.0.3 just fine:

require('liblab126IGL')
local ligl_ref = assert(ligl.init())
ligl.orientation_set(ligl_ref, 3)

It should be put on KT at separate file (say rotate.lua) and ran with lua rotate.lua. Second parameter of orientation_set function is a orientation, it should be 0 (portrait), 1, 2 or 3.

I extracted this code from Awesome scripts, so I thought that rotation of Home screen is already included in rotation hack (as it relies on Awesome script)...

It is true. At least for Yifan Lu screen rotation.
What it did was something like "lipc-set-prop blabla-orientation L", and I think that only readers react to that event.

Thanks so much for your wonderful works. I use the mp3 and it works very well with me. Just one more thing I need to ask. In the landscape mode, is there any way to turn on the "Text-to-Speech" option in pdf? I believe that the "Text-to-Speech" option is still there when we touch the "Menu", but since in the landscape mode, the screen is too short to display the last option" Text-to-Speech" in order for us to choose.

Will TTS work with PDFs? Not sure, even doubt.
