~ds disable sleep capability supposedly removed
The ability to disable sleep by doing a search on ~ds has supposedly been removed in recent firmware (but might be related to "special offers").
https://www.reddit.com/r/kindle/comm...nt_work_after/ Can anyone confirm? And if so, do the KUAL extensions for sleep disable/enable still work? https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=293264 |

I can't get it to work on my Oasis 2 running 5.14.3.0.1 or on PW5 SE running 5.14.2. Neither are jailbroken.

I checked /usr/share/webkit-1.0/pillow/debug_cmds.json in firmwares 5.14.1.1, 5.14.2, and 5.14.3.0.1
The line: Code:
"~ds" : "/usr/bin/ds.sh", /usr/biusn/ds.sh so the ability to disable sleep can be restored by restoring the above line to debug_cmds.json and the KUAL extensions in the thread https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=293264 to disable and reenable sleep should still work for firmwares greater than 5.14.1.1 |

After a lot of digging thorough code (and a ton of failures trying to jailbreak my KT3 with 5.15.1.1 firmware), I've found a very simple way to disable the mimic ~ds behavior - including on an unrooted/unjailbroken stock device.
Steps: 1) Connect to your Kindle via USB 2) Create a file in the root directory called "TESTD_PREVENT_SCREENSAVER" - can be an empty file, but must be named exactly. (It'll ultimately sit in /mnt/us/ ) 3) Reboot the device Note I am not entirely sure what other consequences this may have, so use at your own risk - from what I can tell, this should be relatively safe. |

Honestly, I just need my web app stay on screen without it going to the screensaver, so I don't need a full jailbreak anyway, so this is perfect. |

Nice, want to try on Scribe. When using for sheet music, fake books etc one needs to keep it from sleeping somehow. Would be better if it were a Setting of course.

I'm yet to figure out a way to make the browser "fullscreen" or somehow hide the address bar... still poking around more in case there are some hidden settings. This https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...84&postcount=8 seems like a promising direction, but I haven't found anything yet. |

For me the ideal solution would be to extend the timeout from 10 minutes to some larger value (or a very large value to simulate infinity). Do you perhaps have any idea how to change this value? I have a jaibroken PW5. |
