Hacks Kindle D01100 - Run Processing Visualizations or similar

rgbrobot · 03-22-2023, 01:39 PM

Hey everyone. New here. Couldn't find any related posts on this, and it's a bit specific.

I am designing a clock, and want it to use an e-ink display for the clock face. I'm looking at a minimal design, analog readout but in digital form (no physical hands).

I found my old kindle, and wondered if I'd be able to hack/jailbreak it to this end. I've been using the app Processing to generate these visualizations, and want to use the Kindle to test them out.

There's a lot here I don't know, but the main question is this: What is possible with a jailbroken D01100 in this department? Is something like what I want possible? I would even be OK with being able to load a video on there just to see what it looks like.

EDIT: Running 4.1.4
Note: Not interested in using this for reading or web browsing, unless it accomplishes the above goals.

Thanks!

No need to double post. Ypu might want to explore and learn your way around theses forums.

Also D01100 is meaningless for jailbreak purposes. Check The first 6 characters of your serial number against this list:

Sorry, but I know nothing about your desired application, but there are those here who do, and existing threads regarding it. You should be using the Developers Corner sub-forum.

My apologies! wasn't aware that existed. It's like a maze in here! Also, I couldn't find my original post, so sorry for the double post! I hate doing that! I just found the developers corner, and will ask around in there! Thanks!
