Font, ScreenSaver & USBNetwork Hacks for Kindle 2.x, 3.x & 4.x - Page 55

NiLuJe · 10-04-2010, 01:03 PM

@bartveld: Yeah, no 'burn' with an e-Ink screen. It's just a visual cue to show that the Kindle is sleeping

.

@drendo70: DropFuse is in Python. So, unless someone ports it to C, not gonna happen

.

As for a full featured busybox, the Kindle already has one (albeit a bit outdated), and I don't really 'miss' any tools. Those that I did miss and built & bundled weren't even part of busybox

. But nothing prevents you from x-compiling one yourself

. And symlinking it into PATH or tweaking the shell rc file (if the busybox shell bundled even support such a thing). (Or even drop me a busybox config and I'll build it for you).

@oodseo: Er, the telnet daemon shouldn't even ask you for an username. Try SSH.
And don't use the usbQa command. It hasn't been needed for as long as I can remember. And you *won't* be able to use your Kindle connection on your computer, it's the other way around. And don't even ask about it, it's against Amazon's TOS.

I have 3.0.1 firmware, is it safe to upgrade to the latest firmware version and still have the hacks present?

NiLuJe · 10-04-2010, 04:50 PM

@SunLight: Yes.

NiLuJe · 10-04-2010, 07:14 PM

Bump ScreenSavers to v0.15.N:

* Properly detect the screen size instead of trying every size possible. (Avoid an useless mount).

It's just a bit cleaner that way, but other than that it doesn't change a thing, so you really don't need to upgrade

.

Hey guys, does anyone know how to uninstall the usbnet hack? even after uninstalling (updating with uninstall bin), there is still usbnet directory present on my Kindle. Is it safe to delete it?

Thx

Honza

NiLuJe · 10-05-2010, 03:09 PM

@sway: Yep, you can safely delete it once the hack is uninstalled. (And after a reboot if it was still in use).

Hi,

I guess this is a silly question...

I noticed most posters are using K3, and I my device is Kindle DXG(B009) with FW 2.5.5.
Do you know whether kindle-usbnetwork-0.23.N.zip and kindle-jailbreak-0.3.N.zip works with my Kindle?

Thanks

NiLuJe · 10-06-2010, 01:39 PM

@vdp: Yes. _dxg packages.

neonerz · 10-07-2010, 01:46 AM

I'll be trying this out on my K3 soon. One question though, I heard someone mention in the past the idea of making the screen saver the cover of the current book your reading (or the last book opened).

Instead of manually doing it by just uploading one pic to the linkss/screensaver folder, is there any way you could add a feature like that?

Nice idea, but it should be optional, because quite a few of my books don't have a cover pic and then I prefer a picture from the screensaver dir.

After ss got hacked, looked like I can't get those original screen savers back, where could I find it?

SunLight · 10-07-2010, 10:30 AM

I have multiple images on my Kindle 3, when I turn off my device, I get one of the images, but it doesn't seem to be a real screensaver, meaning it only stays on that one image during the entire time the device is turned off.

Is this how it's supposed to work? If not, what could I be doing wrong?

I ask, because I am worried about burnin images.

suecsi · 10-07-2010, 11:44 AM

see post #811 with NiLuJe's reply - no burn on e-ink, just a prompt to let you know it is asleep (rather than completely off).

NiLuJe · 10-07-2010, 12:39 PM

@neonerz: Discussed this a bit in another thread: No, not easily.

zenob · 10-07-2010, 01:30 PM

Hi NiLuJe, i've installed and configured usbNetwork, but i can connect to kindle via usb, only when my pc wifi connection is disabled. Is it possible to have both kindle connection and wifi internet at the same time ?
