Please be sure you already jailbreaked your Kindle DXG (download this file and apply update_jailbreak_0.11.N_dxg_install.bin first, before and separate from the contrast update). Also, the update only works on the Kindle DX Graphite. If you have some other DX I could try to make a package but I wouldn't be able to test it.

Kindle DX
Dear Isothem,
Thanks a lot for the info. But a little query as Jailbreaking is new for me. I am accessing 3G services of Amazon. So after jail breaking will the 3G be working on my Kindle DXG ? Can I reverse back to original software anytime ? Expecting your expert opinion on this. |

jailbreaking is a tiny change.
To be accurate it´s not really ¨jailbreaking¨ in the phone sense. It´s actually ¨Rooting¨. Yes it will still work on 3g as this is totally unrelated. (I have a dx, with 3g and have done this) Yes you can rollback the change at any time. But I doubt you will want to. Last edited by twobob; 03-22-2013 at 11:35 AM. |

Good evening. I've just installed and it does nothing... Update succesfully, press and hold Shift+Up (in the fiveway), nothing, Shift+Down nothing, Shift+Press fiveway nothing. My DXG is in 2.5.8.
Thank you for your help Edit: ok, just for PDF. I'm sorry... Last edited by anonimo200; 03-22-2013 at 01:31 PM. |

I am seeing much the same lack of behaviour. Will dig further when I get a bit more time.
I DID check the contrast binary was "somewhere" in the path. And even ran it manually, and checked the waitforkey was 41 1 etc... But manually pushing values in the relevant /proc seemed to have no effect also... Will check my facts. Last edited by twobob; 03-22-2013 at 03:06 PM. |

I just tried uninstalling, verifying everything was removed, and then reinstalling, but it works here on this DXG.
twobob: You should get an inverted screen by running this command: Code:
echo "19 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0" > /proc/eink_fb/update_display |

Sorry, the test to invert the screen should have been:
Code:
echo "99 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0" >/proc/eink_fb/update_display echo "18 0" >/proc/eink_fb/update_display Code:
ps auwx | grep contrast ls -l `find /etc -name *contrast` ls -l /usr/sbin/contrast md5sum `find /lib/modules/2.6.22.19-lab126/kernel/drivers/video/eink` |

Thanks for the report. Do you have the result of the other test commands? In case someone tries to install the package without KUAL.
Code:
ps auwx | grep contrast ls -l `find /etc -name *contrast` ls -l /usr/sbin/contrast md5sum `find /lib/modules/2.6.22.19-lab126/kernel/drivers/video/eink` |

wait...
It's working... For sure. I pressed SHIFT + UP on the 5 way and the contrast swapped from inversion to regular... Then I repeated the process (just like I would have expected it to work, and per your directions... and now it seems to be working???) No explanation as to why I'm afraid. I see the changes now and they are noticeable, as is the little tell-tale flash as the contrast changes.. I wonder why it didn't work before? Could it need "initialising" in some way? perhaps that why you never noticed, since obviously yours is always in that initialised state? That's all I can think of. I'll reboot and try again. |
