Is it a mistake? Or it is a combination of HW & FW?
I really need CM for LOCAL collections only, KUAL was just a test.

It depends which model you have, and you have the wrong one.

(Would be worth mentioning that in the OP, NiLuJe.

)

@Tukan: Not a mistake, and knc1 isn't mistaken either.

The HW & SW combination issue is specific to the new non-JP 4GB PW2, where *every* Kindlet is broken until FW 5.4.5. But since CM does NOT support FW 5.4.5, that doesn't help here, unlike for KUAL, where a simple update to 5.4.5 does the trick on those HW variants.

EDIT: @eschwartz: Yup, good idea.

I'm on a PW1, running 5.3.9. I have successfully imported my Collections from Calibre and Kindle Collections. However, when I try to view the contents of my library, if I view by Title or by Recent, no books are listed. I can only see my books if I view by Collection or by Author.

Is there something I did wrong?

@fogice: Hidden your books from the Homescreen in CM? Broken metadata? Wrong date/time?

Was your device downgraded from FW 5.4?

No, I've only used CM to import the collection data.

Broken metadata?

I don't think so; everything looked fine before. Is there a way to search for broken metadata?

Quote:

Wrong date/time?

No.

Yes. Is there an issue with that?

NiLuJe · 08-13-2014, 03:43 PM

@fogice: Definitely. The DB format changed, and a downgrade is *not* handled cleanly.

If you have shell access, kill the framework & clear the db (stop lab126_gui && sleep 2 && rm /var/local/cc.db && start lab126_gui).
Barring that, a factory reset will clear it, with everything else ;D.

Thanks. I don't understand shell access yet, so.... time to research!

So, do I enter each of those commands as entered, hitting ENTER when I see a && ? Or do I enter the &&s as well? All as one line?

Will the database be recreated once I do those steps, or will that clear all the information and I'll have to reload the files? Anything is OK, just want to know.

The whole command goes on one line. The && makes each command dependent on the success of the previous one.

The database should be recreated and loaded automatically.

NiLuJe · 08-13-2014, 04:56 PM

The catalog will be rebuilt automatically after the framework starts, yes, but without collections at all, I should note. It might also make the indexer twitchy and reindex everything, I'm not sure [I cleared the indexer db at the same time the last time I did this, so...
].

fogice · 08-13-2014, 05:45 PM

That appeared to work, at first. However, everything under "Recent" and "Title" seems to vanish again after a bit of use. I've run the command with the &&s twice, with the same problem happening both times.

Also, I can't figure out how to turn the shell access off, so I can't see my Kindle as a USB device or in Calibre anymore.

Best way is to use the menu in KUAL.

NiLuJe · 08-13-2014, 05:59 PM

Double-check that the date & time is accurate.

(As for USBNet, what eschwartz said

. Or do the same thing you did to enable it (which i'm assuming was typing ;un in the searchbar)).

Except I hadn't installed it.

;un worked this time. It didn't the first time I tried it, must have made a mistake.

The time is accurate. I just reenabled WiFi, hoping that might set the date properly. I can't find anywhere to see or set the date on a Paperwhite 1?

knc1 · 08-13-2014, 07:19 PM

Perhaps just install the "Set DateTime" button for KUAL?

NiLuJe · 08-13-2014, 08:16 PM

The time can be set from the Settings Menu > Device Info, while the date can be set through the searchbar (;setdate epoch), where expoch is the date/time in unix epoch format (date +%s).

(I might be dreaming the ;setdate searchbar command, but on the shell, setdate does work like that (and there's settz to fake a timezone, too)).

As for checking the date, besides checking the timestamps of stuff the framework dumps in the userstore, without a shell access, nope.
