JBPatch

... as long as you're aware that you have "dead" (non-functional) files lying around (the fontsize patch), just leave it as it is

Confirmed that changing this setting works for the Paperwhite (I'm on 5.3.4).

I know next to nothing about java, but I used JBE on Reader-plugin.jar!com/amazon/ebook/booklet/reader/plugin/pdf/resources/PDFResources.class and changed

iconst_0
invokespecial java/lang/Boolean/<init>(Z)V

to

iconst_1
invokespecial java/lang/Boolean/<init>(Z)V

and the Text-Only Display/Original Display options show up. I'm sure there are better programs and/or more elegant ways to accomplish this that the java masterminds can share, but I just wanted to share my experience. Needless to say, be sure to back up first and fiddle around at your own risk!

Perhaps ixtab might consider adding this to JBPatch, if possible? I certainly think it's handy, and it's one of the only features I really missed from my Nook STR.

Create file /mnt/us/documents/reflow (content doesn't matter), then restart framework:

# touch /mnt/us/documents/reflow
# restart framework

Open PDF, invoke menu and there will be a new toggle option Text-Only Display. I've tested it on this file, it works.

BTW, option should be displayed under the name Original Display when reflow mode is on, but it doesn't for me. Anyway, it switches between modes just fine on Kindle Touch 5.3.2.1.

It works, although the reflow is not perfect. I'm using KT 5.3.2. thanks eureka for the tip.

Some context here would help -

What doesn't work?
The directions for 5.3.4 or the directions for 5.3.2 (different devices) or .... ?

Just restart the device, and the error should be gone...

Fw 5.3.5, the nightmare continues ... anyone already checked?

[Helgetus]

I read in the Amazon.de Forum that after the update JBPatch does not work anymore. The jailbreak seems to be untouched.

Circulating infos, coming from the JB thread for PW here ...

It seems like they're waiting the newest jbpatch release to update the firmware... (just kidding)

EDIT: Sorry for the misinformation by misinterpretation.

I think Twobob means jailbreak when he uses JB (not JBPatch).

Yep.. JBPatch is *not* working.

PW version 5.3.5 is just as (re-)obfuscated as every other Paperwhite version.

Of course, none of the previous JBPatch versions work on the new firmware.
