Here's the new package complete with README file, output samples and test tree.
The default separator character is hex 01, but you can easily change that in the script.
My favorite run line: /bin/busybox sh aloop.sh --format=twolevel --sort

update 2: newer version in #193

update 1: aloop-20130126b-update.zip ref #160

Down grade your firmware, jailbreak, up grade firmware, install Kindlet developer keys.

how downgrade?

Like this:

This jailbreak cannot be installed on newer firmware versions (thank you Amazon, for yet another middle finger!). You have to downgrade to an older version (e.g., 5.3.1) first, install the jailbreak there, then update to the new version. The jailbreak will survive the update.

This is from the PW JB ( here ) might work on Touch if you pick correct FW. Then apply the Touch JB. If it won't install, a factory reset before downgrading should work.

0.3

Swapped in new shell parser.
New "\u0001" separator format.
Basic one tier layout still used for now.
Titles simplified to single commands
Single column button layout remains
Since "Helper" is near-stable, versioning removed with an eye to unchanging perpetuity.

When you transfer the update file and disconnect the PC kindle, Kindle automatically deletes it ... : S

Are you using 5.1.2 or lower? 5.3.1 is for PW only.

Great! Will download and test soon. Meanwhile, I was thinking about the discussion in another thread - someone installed the unilauncher with an empty extension directory, how to work around that for a better user experience? Well, aloop.sh could easily detect that fail case as it builds the list, and in case of an empty list it could create a test extension, like

Spoiler:

mkdir -p /mnt/us/extensions/unilauncher
cat <<- 'EOT' > /mnt/us/extensions/unilauncher/test.sh
#/bin/sh
# do something, like maybe showing 411
# or showing a "unilauncher test passed" message, etc.
EOT

and feed the test extension to java, what do you think?

Great work, works on a KT 5.1.2 without problems.

Just a little nitpick. I installed the 0.0.3 version and when you look at the version number if you long press the Kindle Launcher document, it still shows 0.0.1.
