Most welcome.

Refactored script to be a tiny bit more legible.

Pushed to GIT, Will push a major update when Ixtab has a chance to check in and one is deserved.

Thanks for the feedback

Great to hear that we have launcher again. Thanks guys!

I wanted to test it, but I got generic error message ("error occured while trying to open this item…").
Am I doing something wrong?

In log:

Code:

cvm[1481]: E KindletBooklet:GenericError::Unloading Kindlet, error = Failed to start Kindlet due to internal error: Exception thrown inside untrusted Kindlet code., msg = An error occurred while trying to open this item. If the problem persists, please contact Kindle Customer Service at www.kindle.com/support.

In crash.log

And suddenly all that crappy shell hacking becomes embarrassingly public.

Perhaps he will take pity!!!

Looks like Jailbreak failure. This currently is the only reason it isn't supported on all devices.

You have Dev keys installed right? obviously... hmm.. It's something to do with that failing...

try that?

Crashed here too, KT 5.1.2, crash.log says
Task exceeded maximum duration of 5000 MILLISECONDS

but my extensions folder isn't that big
though I have an older extensions folder named /mnt/us/extensions.xxx, does it matter?

twobob · 01-20-2013, 06:34 PM

a list of extensions might help.

Thanks for testing.

Quote:

EXTENSIONDIR=/mnt/us/extensions/
FILES=$EXTENSIONDIR*

so no it should not matter.

My issue is fixed. Installing suggested file solved it.
I was missing json_simple-1.1.jar

It was always public. You should know: nobody ever look into code. Literally nobody. Even your fellow developers. Especially your fellow developers, because they have their own code to tinker about.

Drop embarassement and embrace loneliness.

twobob · 01-20-2013, 06:43 PM

heh. if only it were true.
EDIT: or should I say

OMG I hope so.

For example. I read all I can get my hands on... perhaps I am an oddity.

stepk · 01-20-2013, 06:49 PM

find /mnt/us/extensions -name *.xml -o -name *.json

okay... I dont have the orientation one.

I know its annoying. but could you just move them all to a folder like /mnt/us/extensions-backup and shift them in one at a time to the mnt/us/extension folder.

as a hint. it first checks for /mnt/us/extensions/*/menu.json
and only then would it check for a matching /mnt/us/extensions/<appName>/config.xml

(so lonely config.xml's should do no harm)

Would appreciate knowing if it is a problem with one app or something else.

Thanks. I assume you do have the Kindlet Jailbreak installed.

Re the crash, the word "APPLICATIONS" quickly appears on the screen then the error box and APPLICATIONS goes away.

Gotta go now. But first a question about usability. The launcher being a document icon is listed in the home screen after all collections, which on my KT puts it in 4th page. So to launch any program I have to hit Home, scroll 4 pages, tap launcher etc. Is there any way you could make the launcher icon sit at the very top of the home screen list? Current work-around is creating a collection named __1 (or whatever puts it at the very top of the home screen), then adding the launcher to that collection; this trims the number of steps down to hitting Home, tapping __1 then the launcher icon, etc.
