This is the first rule of software development: There are always users that have a different idea on what they want to do with your software than you do.

As you are starting KOreader with a shell script, you could check if KOreader exists, if it does start it else check if HackedUpReader exists and start it.

#!/bin/sh

if [ -f /mnt/us/koreader/koreader.sh ]; then
  sleep 12
  /mnt/us/koreader/koreader.sh /mnt/us/documents
  # wait the script to finish, i.e. until koreader closes
  wait
  # sleep a while until chrome bar is displayed again
  sleep 4
  /mnt/us/extensions/kindlemenu/bin/sh/batterylevel.sh
  /mnt/us/extensions/kindlemenu/bin/shortcut.sh
elif [ -f /mnt/us/hackedupreader/bin/cr3 ]; then
  /mnt/us/hackedupreader/bin/cr3
fi

I hope that works within Kindle Menu, I only tested the shell script.

You haven't yet installed KUAL -
See my other answer to your backup question and the KUAL sticky.

Do you have KUAL installed? If yes, open it, find the Kindle Menu entry and use it to launch the app or to enable the top-bar shortcut

Oooh. Shame on me :-( Thank you. But I earlier read the instructions and put my finger on the bottom of the screen and nothing happened.
Now magic works :-)

Yes! Thank you, I *now* have KUAL installed.
I have the Kindle Menu and it is beautiful!
The top-bar shortcut doesn't seem to work - I presume this is a short cut on the top bar to take us to the Kindle Menu?
Is there something I am doing wrong, or haven't yet done, to get this top bar shortcut?

[Aeris]

You must slide your finger down from the very top bar... is the same behaviour of android status menu!

Remember to Enable the shortcut before trying

Like this. Either left or right.

Ah, so nice.
Much better than 18 months ago, when this was almost exclusively a "how-to de-brick my Kindle" forum.

Great images Twobob, thank you! Ps the last one should represent a up down arrow maybe

Many new features in the 0.8 version!

I've made and bundled also a new app, KindleNote (I'll post it also seperatly later), and some new tools... enjoy!

Supported gestures:
- Swipe-right: bigger fonts
- Swipe-left: smaller fonts
- Double tap: default fonts

(the code is rude, I'll make it prettier when I've time xD)

I'd like also to make possible to choose between standard keyboard and matchboard one, but I don't know how to invoke matchbox for a custom dialog...
Also the ability of select test in custom dialogs is giving me big troubles, seems it has been disable from Amazon but don't know at which level...

P.S. Screenshot of Kindle Notes running on KT are welcome!

I've read the code, any exit direction should be okay. but down works best I guess.

Graphic updated as penance.

feel free to rip for your documentation...

perhaps a ? button and an eips -g help.png would be useful...

Just a thought...

AFAIR, you should swipe out of borders of whole DOM element. So, if movement events listener was added to outmost DOM element of status bar (I suppose, it's the case), only swipe down should work.

EDIT: oh, didn't notice you've read code. I didn't So I might be wrong, sorry.
