Well I thought you mean this statement is true just for K3 and not Touch-based Kindles!!!
Or you mean this is the drawback of JBPatch in general regardless of device?! I'm a bit bewildered now!

Also, which J2SE 1.4 did you guys use? 1.4.2_30 is latest and ixtab had used 1.4.2_19.
Edit: I see why. Any version higher than 19 is for Solaris.

Edit 2: Also, so you know ixtab, JProfiler is no longer free. JProfiler GUI requires paid license after 10 days.

The supply of replacement batteries may not last forever.

I guess either me or twobob is really high right now, as I'm just baffled by his recent comments hahaha

mysterious, one would say, yet charming.

You're the man, man!
Can anyone decipher what twobob is saying? (twobob: just trying to tease you man jk). I know ixtab in this thread said that battery surplus usage because of applying JBPatch is not really noticeable... then I was away from this neighborhood for sometime, maybe I'm not up to date. Have things changed ixtab?

[twobob]

my point is simple. K3's will one day die. the batteries will go first.

Stock up now. Chinese factories only make batteries redundant for so long...
Utterly but on-topic for your new-found k3 love.

Is JBPatch going to work on PW2 with the new jailbreak (version 1.8.N as of 11/21/2013)?

[twobob]

no.

not unless someone wants to build the incredibly obfuscated and short-lived patches themselves..

Could someone explains how the margin hack works? I have a JB'ed pw2 and am desperately curious to get it to work

[twobob]

Kindle Touch, Firmware 5.1.0 - 5.3.2.1, or Kindle Paperwhite, Firmware 5.3.1 - 5.3.4

tl;dr 1st post it doesn't work on your device.

If you want to know how it works, look here. Essentially, it replaces various resource values related to the margins, and performs some additional changes (for instance to disable the adjustment of top/bottom margins to the left/right ones).

I naively copied ReaderResources.class and ran it through a decompiler. umm, no. reminds me of the scene in Kill Bill

-- you didn't think it'd be THAT easy did you
-- for a second there, yeah, I kinda did.
-- silly rabbit, Trix are for kids.

"ReaderSDK-impl-en_GB.jar" - does this mean that it only works when you are in the uk english kindle language mode?
regardless, very helpful, thank you!

--edit--

ah... i missed it, you say exactly that, sorry
i hope it is not too hard to port to all the other languages. what would it involve?

That's by design, so you have an easy way to opt-in/out, I think .
