Tools Snapshots of NiLuJe's hacks

No, because I haven't touched this code in years ;p.

Thanks
So in the fonthack there is an option to replace Caecelia Condensed by a regular one. If I replace Caecilia fonts manually, will it use those fonts to replace Condensed? I’d like to add just one more reading font to reader.

[NiLuJe]

I don't quite recall how all of this works, other than it is *very* rigid, and that you can't actually "add" fonts, just replace existing options.

Paging @NiLuJe - the target OTA version for the hotfix seems to be out of date (3887160041 vs 3889290042 for 5.15.1 or 3900690052 for 5.16.1).

This is probably the cause of the issues that people are having here: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...=345655&page=4

Would it make sense to set the target OTA version to something implausibly high (e.g 9999999999) to avoid the need to bump it every time that Amazon releases a new FW?

[NiLuJe]

Huh, thought I'd refreshed the packages after bumping it in KindleTool; apparently not ;p.

IIRC, the max approach stopped working a while ago (and I never was a fan of it as it opened up the risk of running on unsupported FW).

EDIT: Done.

Whelp, there was a silent rebuild at one point, then, as that was correct for the original 5.15.1 release...

Does this mean it will work fine in 5.15.1?
I am going to try the jailbreak made by katadelos that was mentioned above, but since some people mentioned the hotfix not working for 5.15.1, I did not do it yet. I just wanted to make sure before tearing the kindle down.

@Vlash (and for future readers)

When in doubt, just check the date of the post claiming something against the timestamp at the bottom of the first post of this thread, which is, as time of writing

The latter is newer than the former, ergo, yes, it's fixed .

Ok, thanks. All worked fine, JB succesful.

However, the Downgrader extension does not show up in Kual no matter what. I tried every other extension here, the Downgrader and USBNetwork don't show up.

I just need the former though, I want to get rid of the dreaded 5.15.1
