[Kindle Touch] Turn store button on search bar to browser button

A very irritating thing in the kindle touch, especially for those who don't use the kindle store, is the store button on the search bar. We could remove this in < 5.1.0 but now that doesn't work. Here's how you turn that button into a browser button (detailed enough for a noob to follow):
First download the attachment, extract it and save "store.png" in /mnt/us i.e the usb drive.
Then ssh into the kindle and enter in:
Code:
cd /usr/share/webkit-1.0/pillow/assets/search_bar
mntroot rw
mv store.png store.bak
mv store_active.png store_active.bak
cp /mnt/us/store.png .
cp /mnt/us/store.png ./store_active.png
cd ../..
cd javascripts
cp search_bar.js /mnt/us
mntroot ro
Connect up the USB drive and open up search_bar.js with A PROGRAMMER'S EDITOR, OR ELSE YOU WONT HAVE UNIX LINE BREAKS!!!

After the comments you will find a line (somewhere between line 20-30):
Code:
const STORE_ID = 'app://com.lab126.store';
Replace this with:
Code:
const STORE_ID = 'app://com.lab126.browser';
Now save this and ssh back into the kindle and enter:
Code:
cd /usr/share/webkit-1.0/pillow/javascripts
mntroot rw
mv search_bar.js search_bar.bak
cp /mnt/us/search_bar.js .
mntroot ro
killall cvm
And voila! You have a browser button on the search bar.

I'm using this icon instead and I like it. There are 2 icons one for normal and one for inverted mode. This is best for FW 5.1.0+

I always wanted to have forward button too in the browser.

That is what gamma, contrast and sharpen functions are for. And of course, you can adjust individual pixels too.

Nice and worked fine. Did all of the stuff in WinSCP, so I had not to switch between USB and SSH. Much more useful now, the button.

Can I use this button for the Launcher? ( or for the music player ?) I don't use the internet browser that much. (This could also enable Launcher for the all cases.)

Music player: probably yes. In fact, I suspect it works for pretty much everything that has an associated URL; it seems to be essentially the same mechanism as described here.

Launcher: no. The launcher directly injects an Action into the menus, so it can't be triggered externally.

Yep! I use this to run my app.
Only problem is I can't run a script before running my app (as I do using launcher). That's why I'm studying a way of using LIPC to run that script when my app is launched!
