[K3] Easter eggs!

qlob · 09-21-2012, 08:04 PM

I'm going to let you see the magic I found. Others have probably found it, but I'm not sure.

for science:

Code:

/opt/eink/scripts/diags

Also, notice that /opt/eink/images has wbf files in it. I'm assuming that those are the "your kindle is broken" or "update sucessful" images. I have never seen the wbf format before... Time for some googling...

It's not quite as fun as GM's eink programs, but still fun. Also keep myts or a ssh session open because the script stops the framework.

I will need to see how it stops the framework, so I can do it "correctly" in my code.

Code:

/usr/bin/startx

also stops it, you may want to take a look at that.. I wonder why startx is on a K3 though....

EDIT: Looks like startx has been modified by amazon, but we are missing /usr/share/X11 so it wont start...
