The Kindle Touch's root (where all the amazon pre-installed stuff is) is mounted read-only (unless you changed that [which you shouldn't unless you know what you are doing]).

By default programs can only write to /mnt/us (this part gets exported over USB), /tmp and IIRC /var/local (there's also stuff by amazon in there but I think it's only preferences and stuff?).

just tried the candy.
it crashed several times (while performing fonts setup in the menu), but apart from that it works and it is cool!!! thanks! I am impressed. Keep up the good work!

A few notes:
1) the menu looks messy because its font size is too big. Are you aware of that or it is just only me who faced this issue? I attached a screenshot.
2) I wasn't able to find a way to "close" the app. is there any way?
3) It seems the app's settings (font settings, enable/disable clock, etc) get discarded on the next app's run. is it a bug?

As I said in the inital post, some fonts make it crash (e.g. DejaVu Sans).

I was really puzzled about this and also the program displaying different fonts with different heights even though the same height was set.

After installing a self built version of the FreeType2 library (that is used on the Touch for handling fonts) all the problems just vanished.

It seems Amazon either installed a broken FreeType2 library on the Touch (but didn't notice it as their code doesn't really use the full functionality of freetype) or they installed a stripped down customized version of it that's not as thoroughly tested as the full build.

I'm not yet sure how to fix that for the next release.

Not yet, that's one of the other reasons why there's no GUI launcher integration yet.

You have to kill -QUIT it from the command line. Or let it crash although since I've added the new freetype2 library it didn't crash for me anymore.

The global settings should be saved as soon as you leave the settings menu and return to the text. But note that different format (epub, fb2, ...) have their own settings.

I think the settings for individual e-books aren't saved. That may be due to the missing of a proper way of quitting the application. But I haven't looked into that yet.

Wouldn't this need Java Glue code? From what I remember when looking at the appreg.db it seemed like this would only be used by the Java framework.

I don't think so (but I haven't tried it). For instance, there is the com.lab126.draw app (or the web browser, for that matter), which are WAF applications launched by a command line (/usr/bin/wafapp ...)

This seems to be the same problem I'm having with the font hack (or at least a very similar one, see https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...28#post1988528 and the subsequent 5 or so posts). Could you elaborate a bit more on how you built that library, and which files you replaced in the end to make it work?

Maybe we could come up with a custom solution (say, a hack which overrides the freetype libs). I'm not sure wrt to binary compatibility between different KT firmwares, but I'd be willing to test it... That's why I'm asking you for some help

Thanks!

Good day.
I wanted to cross-compile your app for kindle but had no luck.

why Cmake couldn't find the CXX compiler?

One more question:
what is that PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR directory?
There should be 'lib/pkgconfig' within it but I don't see any.

updated
ps: I installed missed build-essential package under Ubuntu and now I have another Ips: I figured out that one more package was missed. It was "libfontconfig1-dev". so I installed it as well.
here's the latest errors:

After I stripped down completely that cr3_fr.po stuff I successfully compiled cr3.
BUT the problem is that I cannot compile it with arm-kindle-linux-gnueabi compilers (I downloaded the toolchain from https://github.com/samsheff/Amazon-K...ross-Toolchain by the way

I changed the toolchain, successfully built the app, but I get

when execute it directly from kindle.
does it mean that the toolchain was incorrect?

It's actually quite easy. I didn't replace any files, I just added the library and changed a symlink.

Download the current version from http://sourceforge.net/projects/free...eetype2/2.4.8/

Compile it with the following lines, adjust the host to fit your kindle gcc:
Code:
./configure --prefix /tmp/freetype --host=arm-kindle-linux-gnueabi
make install
Make your kindle root writable and then copy the library over and change the symlink:
Code:
scp /tmp/freetype/lib/libfreetype.so.6.8.0 root@kindle:/usr/lib/
cd /usr/lib; rm libfreetype.so.6; ln -s libfreetype.so.6.8.0 libfreetype.so.6
Afterwards it should look like this:

Code:
[root@kindle lib]# ls -l libfreetype.so*
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root        21 Nov  3 20:03 libfreetype.so -> libfreetype.so.6.3.20
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root        20 Mar  8 19:04 libfreetype.so.6 -> libfreetype.so.6.8.0
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root    716900 Nov  3 20:05 libfreetype.so.6.3.20
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root   2075463 Mar  2 10:07 libfreetype.so.6.8.0
[root@kindle lib]#
I only replaced the symlink for libfreetype.so.6 just to be on the safe side but libfreetype.so.6.3.20 which is freetype 2.3.9 and freetype 2.4.8 should be API compatible, so it shouldn't really be a problem to replace it completely.

I managed to compile it for Kindle Touch (it runs well from the device) but the "menu" is absent. (i.e. it is impossible to invoke it from the application).
And it is impossible to turn pages as well.

The compiled executable file is about 2.7MB instead of '3.3MB' (which comes from your github page).

Any ideas where's my fault?

Touching on the screen does nothing?

That can be due to different CFLAGS. I think my build still has debugging info builtin.

wait!! it works!!! just tried it again.

BTW, I used /usr/lib/* libraries from Kindle Touch for compiling. I don't see any issues with fonts I had before. Everything looks well.

Great to hear.

I just pushed some small changes to the github repository. Most important the configuration change that will show a "close book" entry in the menu.

Sometime later today I'll also push out the GUI launcher extension (unfortunately, it needs some root fs manipulation, otherwise it can't reliably start HackedUpReader from the GUI launcher menu). So stay tuned.

@varnie: Would you mind attaching your libfreetype.so here? I'd like to test it with font hack, but for the moment I gave up on installing the cross-compiling stuff

here it is (rename it to libfreetype.so.6.8.1).
but as for me CoolReader3 works well with the default libfreetype library on Kindle Touch (5.0.4), after reset to the factory settings.
And I am out of ideas what caused that bug.
