Schowtime Kual extension, Show current time while reading

[Yourcat]

Simply replace it, the pipe is supported within backticks. Anyhow `date +%X|cut -d':' -f-2` is much faster, no need for sed here.
Also the regexps in awk should be optimized. '.*' matches the whole line and then the regexp engine goes back one character after the other and tries to match the following string. The longer the lines are the more CPU is used. I expect that the log lines are formatted and one could use a regexp without '*' - it may look complicated but it will match faster.

If you want to use sed use " instead of '.
' ... ` ... '... ' ` ... ' --> ' ... ` ... " ... "` ... '

Hi Yourcat,

thanks for your hints.

Good point to use cut instead of sed. But for me it has the same problem as the command includes an additional ':'. If you look into the awk command I aöready have two nested hypens and I have no idea how to add the third once without braking the code.

awk '/.*PageTurnAction*./ || /.*JunoExecutionManager*./  {system("eips ${POS} ${ROW} \"`date +%H:%M`\"")}'

I'm not the best in regexp and awk. I simply copied the line from an other post. That is what the log looks like including a line with the PageTurnAction that triggers the display of the information.

I do believe you are over thinking this whole thing.

170211:114545 cvm[5359]: I ContentPanel:UserActionInfo:PageTurnAction=NextPage:

Reading that line, left to right:
YYMMDD:HHMMSS taskname[thread]: I ....

Sorry, I overlooked your use of multiple quotes. I didn't test it on my Kindle but hopefully the one or the other command works there:
cat /tmp/messages | awk -v date="$(date +%X | cut -d':' -f-2)" '/^[0-9:]++ [a-z]++.[0-9]++.: I [a-zA-Z]++:[a-zA-Z]++PageTurnAction|Foo)/ {system("echo ffff "date)}'


Using strftime my awk version returns the 24h format while gawk works fine.
cat /tmp/messages | awk '/^[0-9:]++ [a-z]++.[0-9]+.: I [a-zA-Z]++:[a-zA-Z]++PageTurnAction|Foo)/ {date=substr(strftime("%X"),0,5); system("echo ffff "date)}'

You should really optimize the expressions to avoid backtracking - with your expression this may happen 4 times for each character in every line if the line does not match.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3...tomic-grouping is interesting.

Does this work on a Kindle Paperwhite 5th gen ?
I cannot find a folder called "extension" on my kindle.
I made a folder called extension and copied the files inside and restarted the kindle but the clock does not show up.
I am on original kindle firmware 5.8.9
Thanks.

What devices does this thread mention it has been tested on? *

That is because you have not installed the KUAL launcher when you jail broke your Kindle.

What does this thread say about the versions it has been tested on? *

* The 'Usual Practice' here is to put all of that information in the first post, but this thread was not done that way by the author.

@jacko5:Please Reply to this:

1. Is the device you are referring to jailbroken?
2. Did you install KUAL azw2/KUAL Booklet as per your device?
3. If it was KUAL Booklet, did you update it after fw upgrade?

If the answers to all the above are yes then you must have KUAL showing up a menu item called Showtime.

Also the fact that extensions folder is missing seems like either you havent jailbroken your kindle or not yet installed KUAL.

If not jailbroken, then you cannot use this KUAL addon until you jailbreak it!

BTW, It cannot be a PW1(5th gen) as updates stopped from 5.6.1.1 for that kindle. Please mention the first 4 letters/digits of your Kindle serial number to make diagnostics easy.

You can also refer to the perfect nickname of your kindle from this Link.

Please check back and report Sir!

This time and percertage hack has been my lifesaver! Love it!

However i have updated to the latest Oasis firmware and the Kual extension does not work.

Any other way of getting it to work?

Thanks again.

Create a RUNME.sh script for the purpose and launch it with the search bar command:
;log runme

So sorry but are you able to give specific instructions? I have created a sh file in the root of my kindle called RUNME.sh - do i then put showtime extension code into that file and then try ;log runme?

A while ago, I made the following minimal changes to the code of showtime.sh when displaying time & battery percentage (two occurrences - lines 301 and 318):

{system("eips ${POS} ${ROW} `date +%H:%M`_\[`gasgauge-info -s`\]")}

Line 285 should read:

export POS="$((${EIPS_MAXCHARS} - 13))"

This adds square brackets around the percent value, what looks much better:
- old: 13:55-99
- new: 13:55_[99]
Tested even with the special case "100% charge" which requires 11 chars for the whole string.

For your convenience, I've added the new version 1.2a as ZIP file:

[mergen3107]

Wow guys! This is a very exciting extension!
You know what I am still dreaming about since Kindle 4 Non-Touch?
A progress bar during reading! There is plenty of space at the bottom, between page location and progress percentage.
I hope it would be relatively easy to find a position, total book chapters, etc, and draw it with eips (or FBInk?) at (not) every page turn.
Do you have any ideas where should I start digging, before I start looking ixtab's JBPatch for old firmwares? I remember he did that somehow...
