Luckily once jailbroken it's easy to get things going again after an update. Just reinstall the hacks. The Jailbreak survives, at least it has for some time.

Just drop all the hacks into MRR and bam, you're back up and running.

All that with the caveat that the jailbreak has so far survived, but KNC1 and NiLuje would better answer that part if things change

Well the launcher app is gone. So it looks like I will have to try to fix it while it's connected to the computer... I'm sorry, MRR? Is there any link with a guide on what to do after an update? Apologies guys/gals, I'm so new to this stuff.

Launcher app? KUAL? that shouldn't disappear, it never has for me.

Have you installed this (https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=251143) Sorry I picked up MRR, not sure where. LOL.

Yeah.. I had KUAL and mrpackages and etc. This is a current screenshot when I plug it in:

[Image violates Posting Guidelines for size - MODERATOR]

I checked again - no launcher in my kindle books anymore. That sucks!

Are you using the 'document' or the 'booklet' version of KUAL?
If using the 'document' version, it should be in /documents (which you do not show).

If that has disappeared from /documents during an update -
If you live in the USA -
Then you have caught Amazon committing a felony - notify Home Land Security and report their messing with your personal information and documents on your Kindle computer.

Looks like it was booklet:

So what should I do? Just delete everything and start from scratch?

No.

That looks like a view of the files on your PC, not on the Kindle.

Put:
KUAL-KDK-2.0.azw2 in the /documents directory of the Kindle.
That would be found at the topmost visible level of USB storage.

NOT in a /documents directory on the PC - (yes, some people have tried that )

I was just showing that it was indeed booklet is all. And that's pretty funny. If I was that bad then everyone offering advice would need to be paid an hourly rate.

Well anyway, I already had that file in /documents on my kindle but I moved it in there again and replaced it. No discernible difference. Just let me know at any point if I should google a guide and start over, but it sure would be nice to revive the working launcher and all without going back to square one.

In that case, you are using the "Document" version of KUAL, not the "Booklet" version.

Change the display filter to include all active documents.

Terms depend on firmware version, but most recently in the upper left of the home screen. What is the firmware version?

Do not start over, you can only make things worse.
Keep your finger away from the "Reset" button!

Hello guys!

I'm having some issues with this hack. I love its functionality to the point that I removed my magnetic cover because I want to be able to see the book covers!

However, it seems that for some reason it stops working after a while. There's nothing I can do to make it start working again - I have to completely uninstall it and then reinstall it to get going... I un/reinstalled again two or three days ago; finished the book I was reading, started a new one and -hey, default screensaver!

Any ideas what might cause that?

Thanks!

Have you tried the troubleshooting directions in the first post and/or included in the release archive?

Are you using the build from NiLuJe's snapshot thread?
Same "where did you get it" question about python.

Is the date / time set correctly?

What firmware version is it running now and where in the course of your story did it update?

How many books on the device?
Their type (you can usually tell by the extension).

Do the books even have a cover?

Thanks for your reply!

-yes, I've followed the instructions to a t
-not sure now, had downloaded them a while ago; IIRC linkss has a release date of AUgust 2016, but will try redownloading them (I suppose you mean https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=88004 ? ) and trying again just to make sure.
-I don't have my KV with me, but it's the latest FW. If you mean when I updated the FW, it was long before my current stories.
-a few dozens (keeping it a bit clean)
-will have to check, some are downloaded from Amazon, some are sent to it through email (.mobi to begin with, a couple of pdf's with 'convert in the subject), some converted through Calibre, but I'll get back to you.
-Yes, of course

Hey, it has happened, people trying to display a book cover that wasn't there.

No, I mean:
Just below last (top) blue bar of the index page:
Set the "Prefix" drop down box to "Tools" -
Click "Show Threads"
And there find the thread of NiLuJe's snapshots.

As in:
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=225030

Check in the "Device Info" panel.
Usually:
Home -> Menu -> Settings -> Menu
For the current firmware installed.

It did not ship with 5.8.8 (nothing does, yet) but it is probably running 5.8.8 now. And the update was probably within the last few weeks.
(rant)Isn't it nice how the owner of the device does not own its behavior?(/rant)

If it has updated at any time, you have to re-install any add-in that seems broke.
Which includes ss and python.
MrPI can do a "batch install" just put ever update_*.bin packages that needs to be re-installed in /mrpackages and trigger MrPI once.

Yeah, you're right, similar to "is it turned on?"

Ok, my zips are: kindle-linkss-0.24.N.zip and kindle-python-0.14.N-pw2_kt2_kv_pw3_koa_kt3.zip. Redownloading as I'm typing this. KUAL 20160721.

Current book is a kfx file - from Amazon, so it does have a cover for certain

5.8.8, when it came out (a couple of months back? I forget), definitely reinstalled hacks a couple of times after that...
