PW2 App/tools compatibility thread

Aeris · 11-21-2013, 07:44 AM

I hope to do something useful opening a new thread in which users can tell which apps and tools for Kindle Touch and Kindle PW1 still works on PW2, and which one doesn't, so that they can be ported/fixed accordingly.

If you report something, please tell also which firmware version are you using

And probably which JB version you are using.
Nothing will run with the Nov. 20th original posting.
(which does not have a version number in its name, perhaps the next one will)

Ah, didn't know!

USBNet & LinkSS (snapshots) will work.

The fonts hack will install, but I strongly advise people NOT to until I get my hands on a real device.

Did you buy one?
Or just ask Amazon for an evaluation sample?

Ixtab, will JBpatch (and margin patch etc.) be ported to PW2? And/or will be ported on PW1 4.3.9?

It's still the first reason why I don't update my device (PW1) from 5.3.4

It's an open source project. anyone is free to do the work...

NiLuJe · 11-21-2013, 07:50 PM

That reminds me: KUAL. That works on the PW2, too

I can not install KUAL2.2 too. When I put the “update_k5_ALL_PW_ALL_devcerts_install.bin”in the root folder，eject Kindle, and go to *[HOME] -> [MENU] > Settings -> [MENU] ，the “Update ”button is gray. When I
connect kpw to PC again, and open the root folder,the "update_k5_ALL_PW_ALL_devcerts_install.bin"is lost.

By working he meant https://bitbucket.org/ixtab/kindlelauncher.git runs. Which it seemignly does.

Not "It has already been conveniently repacked" for general consumption.

NiLuJe · 11-22-2013, 03:58 AM
