@aleq: Use MRPI. (Except, as usual, with the packages from the Snapshots).

@NiLuJe
although I may not fully understand the statement in parethesis (as I even tried the python package fron Snapshots without MRPI), I used MRPI now and that did the trick. Thanks again!

Simply that I'm recommending you to use the snapshots, and not the current release. (i.e., rolling-release style).

And that the snapshots packages will only install through MRPI anyway .

That is why you can not start KUAL. The jailbreak itself could be still fully functional.

So try those things. Take a look at this:

Thanks Shaman!

I got the KAUL up and running but now when I try to reinstall the screensaver hack it doesn't load properly.

I used the files under kindle-python-0.14.N-pw2_kt2_kv_pw3_koa_kt3.zip
and put the Update_python_0.14.N_install_pw2_kt2_kv_pw3_koa_kt 3.bin into the mrpackages folder and then used kaul to install. It goes through the install and reboots but when I go to the lockscreen I don't get the successfully installed image and there is no screen saver option under KAUL.

Just in case I also tried putting that bin under the root directory but it would not allow me to update the kindle like that

Any more suggestions?

Thank you!

Hi all,
I didn't read everything here, but searching this thread for "pobi" didn't show any results:

the screensaver's hack works fine for me, except "Der Spiegel" doesn't work, a German magazine. Its file-extension is "pobi" and my Voyage doesn't show its cover. Is there any workaround?
The latest snapshot-files are installed.

@exile2: There's a config switch to enable periodicals support in the KUAL extension.

Uhm.. Possibly latest snapshot broke something in the recently added kfx support. It used to work before I updated to cope with the new binaries; but now it doesn't anymore. In a couple of books I read after the update, the very same book in azw3 format displays the cover, while in kfx it doesn't... Let me know if you're willing to investigate this.

@Ruskie_it: I'm going to need a bit more details (ideally, system logs), and a vague idea of which version you were previously using, because I can't reproduce on my end (granted, I only have a single test KFX ).

Hah! I was sure about that, I posted only to tickle your curiosity.
Seriously speaking, I can give you all the details you want if you explain me how to get them.
About versions: the "faulty" one is the latest snapshot you published I think 2-3 days ago (the one that uses FBInk). The previous one, I really don't know how to tell. It was one that supported the cover extraction from KFX, but other than that I cannot say.
Any log you need, just tell me how to get it and I will send it to you!
