The new bridge code does.

So either wait until that is ready, or fix it yourself (you don't need KUAL to toggle USB on/off nor to install the USB package, and kTerm is a simple drop-in).

No, the current version is:
1.6.N-r14394
the revision level is a significant part of the version number.

Just wanted to thank you for this great stuff!

Thanks NiLuJe! (and thanks knc1 for helping out many people!)

Finally got this update ready .

Bumped a few version numbers for good measure ;p.

This includes totally experimental KOA2 support where applicable (i.e., no RP/CRP, and not the JailBreak).

See bundled ChangeLogs/docs for details, proper releases will (maybe) happen after the release of the next Linaro TC.

Also, in case that wasn't already painfully obvious, discontinued the KOReader snapshots (good news: it's because they're not really needed anymore, see #2).

Cursory KOA2 testing results:

• Very happy to report that the screensaver hack is working in both static image and cover mode!
  
  
• The font hack, on the other hand, is missing several key options in the "fonts" menu in KUAL? [screenshot attached]
  
  I will note that replacing the condensed font with another font found stock on the kindle does work — just missing the "update fontconfig cache" option to test/use personal fonts

Thank you for your work here; I've really missed your hacks and am delighted to see them updated for the KOA2

Thanks for updating the Screensaver hack!!! Downloading now and hope to install later today on my KOA2!!!

Tried to install and remembered how clueless I am with this device.

Koa2 is Jailbroken and I installed Python, I believe using ";log runme" but I can't enable the Screensaver hack which should have also been installed. The .bin files were both in /mrpackages folder. Is there something else I need to do? I could not find instructions relative to KOA2 usage.

The command for installing MR packages (bin files in /mrpackages folder) is ";log mrpi", not ";log runme" ...

Yes there is ...
Post the log file MrPI generates, let's read about what happened to both of the bin files.

This is the last entry...
Failed to extract package 'Update_linkss_0.25.N_install_pw2_kt2_kv_pw3_koa_k t3_koa2.bin' (linkss 0.25.N I WARIO+ZELDA), skipping . . .

Python looks to have installed properly.

Here is the file... and thank you!

@7hir7een: Fantastic, thanks for your feedback .

Which KUAL build is that? Because it's missing actual Oasis2 detection (c.f., the K?? in the bottom), which explains why you're not seeing some menu entries.

And a bonus question: If you're familiar with my stuff, do the monospace status messages that usually show up on the bottom of the screen actually show up on your KOA2, and are they actually printed at the bottom of the screen, or more somewhere around the middle?

@radamo: Hmm, let me add some more debugging output (like, say, the actual output from KindleTool) to the logs, and I'll get back to you...

[NiLuJe]

@radamo: Try again with the latest MRPI snapshot (1.7.N-r14996) .

It may still not work, but at least we'll have a better idea of why in the logs .

@7hir7een: Ah, right, coplate's build is missing the last few commits to ID the Oasis2, let me backport that and I'll have a package ready later .

Not getting anything now. I renamed the log file and my install "bin" for the screensaver is still in the mrpackages folder. When I enter ;log runme some data scrolls by quickly but nothing happens. I even tried redownloading the SS bin file.

@radamo: What 'data', exactly, and what does your RUNME look like?


(Also, double-check you haven't bungled the MRPI install, on the off-chance it's something trivial ).
