@ixtab
i tried to localize JBPatch 3.2.1 by following the instructions (copying the translated menu txt files to opt/jbpatch and restart). But the strange thing is that of the 4 menu items (I'm using KT 5.3.2), the Modify Reader Margins menu remains in English. I've check the file name and re-started KT a few times, but this menu is still not localized. Do you have any idea what could be the problem. Thanks. |

@yiming
All files localized? The files name is exactly same the english version? The files is UTF-8 format? Disconnect and unplug the device, then reboot. |

I've installed JBPatch (and read through the README a couple times). After opening JBPatch on my Kindle Paper White, it says that I have four patches: Enhance Dictionary Lookup, Modify Reader Font Sizes, Fix Reader Layout and Hyphenation, and Modify Reader Margins. My main question is: are there any patches I can install besides those four that I already have? If so, how do I get them? Looking at the source code for jbpatch that ixtab put up, there's some files in here that I'm guessing are patches I can compile myself. Has anyone else tried this? |

Those four are the only patches which work on the paperwhite. The other patches are for the Kindle touch. See:

anyway, the problem has been solved after I re-saved those files which were not working by setting the Return method to LF only (before that it was CR+LF). I'm not sure whether this is really the solution as previously one of the files was working even though the Return method was CR+LF (i think). thanks for your help. |

I haven't been to the forum for a while, last time I heard 5.3.2 was very hard to crack. Now 5.3.3 is out, can I simply update by placing the update file to the root folder or do I need something else to preserve the holes (I'm using 5.3.1)?

5.3.1 and 5.3.3 are for the K5(Paperwhite). Mostly yes, use these hints: (at least up to the point that the KUAL launcher is once again working - which means any Kindlet will work again.): https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...94#post2399494 I.E: The device jailbreak survives the update, other part have to be replaced. |

First of all, thank you, ixtab for all your hard work Finally took the plunge and jailbroke my PW today. Just a question, I installed JBPatch and there's no option to rotate in all directions? Is there a step I might have missed?

Support all orientations in the Java UI (including upside-down), working for Home Screen, Kindlets, ... (FW 5.1.x only)

errr.... I kind of recall something (an extension???) that does that..
*goes off and looks for it* EDIT: Ah right.... looks like orientationLock is no longer respected in 5.3.3. for the MAIN UI ?? Hadn't remembered/noticed that... sorry. however... if you want it for books... read on. The only real extra this gives you is the inverted landscape view (probably why I hid it away) I will repack the HELPER in readiness for the next release to have the following amends... Spoiler:
anyways. something like that. if you wanted to add it the the KUAL HELPER BUTTONS then the menu.json would require the following additions. Code:
{"name": "Rotation U", "priority": 6, "action": "bin/setorientation.sh", "params": "U"},
{"name": "Rotation L", "priority": 7, "action": "bin/setorientation.sh", "params": "L"},
{"name": "Rotation R", "priority": 8, "action": "bin/setorientation.sh", "params": "R"}
FULL EXAMPLE: Spoiler:
limited usefulness but meh. it's there. Enjoy. Last edited by twobob; 02-21-2013 at 11:22 AM. |

There's a setorientation.sh script in the helper extensions. There are no buttons defined to use it, however.

There was a spell of problems with parameter passing and this little nit was probably the victim of 'clean up' after that problem was dealt with. |
