It could work, but I am not sure.

Can you post the .js for the key bindings and I can give it a go.

You can get any PRS+ file from here:

http://code.google.com/p/prs-plus/so...wse/#hg/addons

Click file you want and then right click -> save as on "view raw file".

Hi Kartu,
and thanks for the huge work.
I'd like to try to compile some apps for sony prs505.
To test easily, my idea was to have a hotkey that would launch my own script ; that script would kill tinyhttp, launch some binary and when it's done, would just launch tinyhttp back (or whatever is the UI

).
I just need a hook to launch a external process (script in this case).
(I guess having it and the binaries on the sd or so would be then easy to modify etc)
Is this doable ?
Where should I hack this ?
Thanks

There is an easier way to start shell executable, thank igorks, you don't have to kill anything.
Check this file out:
http://code.google.com/p/prs-plus/so.../core_shell.js

Unfortunatelly it's currently in the middle of _very_heavy_ refactoring and there is no corresponding installer.
To use it, you only need prspVM.xml and corresponding so file (it's referenced inside xml file, both are availbel in "firmware" repository) and amend paths.

It might be already included in Utils class in the current release, I don't remember.

PS
By the way, this might be interesting for you:

Kartu : thanks for the quick reply.
I saw that there was some exec function idd.
But I didn't get what prspVM.xml is used for

Is it from there that I can launch some external binary ? via hotkeys ?

about your PS : yes idd... that's what inspired me

1) exec will execute whatever command line you pass to it, don't bother with "what prspVM.xml does" if Utils already has "exec" method. Start with something simpler, like:

Utils.exec("echo \"hello world\">>/Data/log.txt");

this should create log.txt file in the root of internal memory.

2) Hotkeys. Easiest way is to use Clock.js. Replace "Toggle Clock" action funciton with whatever you want, and bind the action to whatever key you want via PRS+ settings.

great, that's all I needed to know to start playing quickly.
Thanks!

Ok, back to features missing in PRS+:

1) Custom logo ("Reader" replaced with user credentials")
2) Custom icons (by the way, were can I find alternative icons?)
3) Custom fonts
4) "justify off" - affects LRF (RTF/TXT?) files. I wonder how many care about it.

Anything else?

When I used lrf I did implement the justification hack, but I only use epub now.

I attached the custom icons that came with prscustomizer. I guess the unique icons you use in PRS+ will need to be tacked on the end. My attempts to combine them have failed.

Thanks. Attaching the icons is not the problem, creating them is.

Other customizations are available:

1 - TEXT in title of main screen (compatible with Custom logo). See example in attached thumbnails.

2 - Modify animation when the reader thinks. See examples and download files in http://prs-505.webcindario.com/imatges/kbook.htm

My reader: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57CAWooty-s

Everything is compatible with PRS +, I have it installed on my mod

Where exactly do you modify to get this?

Thanks for the icons and the animations they work great.
