I'd publish the Matchbox applet that lets you select your CPU frequency off the toolbar but bricks bricks bricks iRex has provided no Average Joe means of installing applets.

You'd think that if they were giving up on auto power management, which is pretty clear, they'd at least give us this standard applet to let us control the power right?

Or, like your clock applet, you could release it now and let users who want to take the risk add it...

That isn't my clock applet, its the stock standard Matchbox Clock Applet.

I thought they would have released the re-flash tool by now.

They haven't explained just how effective this re-flash tool is. What kinds of bricks can it handle?

Sometimes I really hate it when I'm right.

And it hurts twice as deeply because it was yokos, and he was trying to make an installer for such a dangerous thing to make it safe for others.

So double double double no, no other applets.

There is a new ipdf out. This time rincewind added "Quick Erase patch" [pausing stylus on screen erases last written; there is a avi video, which explains it much better.]

OT: iLiad has got /usr/bin/md5sum, which I tested to check checksum of installed ipdf or back-up file, & then scripts does the correct decision. Right now I feel a bit trapped.

Thank you, Yokos. Could a kind soul provide an installation script for the timid?

Here you go, this one will move /usr/bin/ipdf to /usr/bin/ipdf.org before installation of the new version. After uninstallation of the new version the original will be moved from /usr/bin/ipdf.org to /usr/bin/ipdf.

Thanks, but didn't you forget something?

Sorry if it is a stupid question, what else do i need apart from the script ipdf-psave 1.0.1.zip to try the saving power ipdf?

You'll have to have the shell access from iRex. After that, unzip the file, copy the file ipdf-psave 1.0.1.sh to your iLiad (either to a memory card or to the internal memory) select the file with the content lister and original ipdf version will be replaced with the power saving one.

Does this include revert option like a previous patched ipdf did?

I have run your script in the news folder of the internal memory.
After that, I cannot open any pdf files.

My iLiad's OS is v2.9.5.
Help me, please...

Try the attached file. It's the one from the first page of this thread, but with the version changed to 2.9.5. I don't believe there were any ipdf changes from then to now.

I think Rincewind changed it since then.

See this thread and the iRex Forum.
