Did not work, as soon as I add the translation, the "button" disapeares from the launcher.
If I change single words, i.e. Portrait, it does not change on the screen. Tried it with notepad++ UPDATE: Got it, THX, do not know why it worked after 3rd round of trying ... UPDATE of UPDATE: It was the "°" I tried to use for the Rotation which caused the problem. Last edited by diba; 02-07-2012 at 02:32 AM. |

What is left, is "Previous" which seems to be part of the launcher. No *.json for this in extensions.

Yep, that's probably second string in the Launcher (except "Launcher" itself). BTW you could get Launcher sources, translate them and compile a Launcher for yourself (like I did to enable "stdout-json" extension, the one that executes a command then parses command output as json-encoded menu - allows to e.g. make an extension that would show you actual status of USB networking each time you open its menu).

Or ask him to give you write access to the repository so that you're able to update it on your own? |

I did "pull request" from my fork, see here: https://github.com/yifanlu/KindleLauncher/pull/1
If you're interested in my fork see https://github.com/JustAMan/KindleLauncher But you'll have to compile it yourself and install yourself, too. I won't step in Yifan's way - it's his Launcher, so I'm not distributing my fork in update.bin. |

wont run
Mon 20 Feb 2012 04:53:39 AM EST
I have used the mp3 jailbreak with great success, thank you. http://yifan.lu/p/kindle-touch-jailbreak/ Method 1: Plug in the Kindle and copy “data.tar.gz” to the Kindle’s USB drive’s root Safely remove the USB cable and restart the Kindle (Menu -> Settings -> Menu -> Restart) After the Kindle restarts, you should see a new book titled “You are Jailbroken”, if you see this, the jailbreak has been successful. If you DON’T see this, continue. I installed the folowing with great success. https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Kind...etwork_at_boot Automatically enabling USB network at boot By default, when the Kindle starts up, it automatically sets "USB drive" mode. Below are few observations about how to automatically get it into USB networking mode: Option 1: Starting usbnet from upstart Create the file /etc/upstart/usbnetwork.conf with the following content: start on starting framework task script if [ -f /tmp/USBNET_ON ]; then echo USB network already enabled else source /usr/local/bin/usbnetwork.sh fi end script Your Kindle will now go into USB network mode once the framework has loaded. my kindle spec's are: ################################################# # N O T I C E * N O T I C E * N O T I C E # ################################################# Rootfs is mounted read-only. Invoke mntroot rw to switch back to a writable rootfs. ################################################# [root@kindle root]# cat /proc/cpuinfo Processor : ARMv7 Processor rev 5 (v7l) BogoMIPS : 159.90 Features : swp half thumb fastmult vfp edsp neon vfpv3 CPU implementer : 0x41 CPU architecture: 7 CPU variant : 0x2 CPU part : 0xc08 CPU revision : 5 ====================== I mount the filesystem this way: It may also be helpful to mount your Kindle's filesystem into your computer. You can use sshfs to achieve this. You will need to have SSH access working in the first place, and you need the sftp-server binary. Download sftp-server.zip from this thread, and unzip it. Copy sftp-server to your kindle. I copied it directly to /mnt/us/, but you can place it wherever you want. To mount the the Kindle's root FS to the local directory kindle: sshfs -o sftp_server=/mnt/us/sftp-server root@192.168.15.244:/ kindle/ To unmount: fusermount -u kindle/ then I copy : update_launcher_1.0_install.bin to /mnt/us then I copy everything else to /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions I have done something wrong and it does not work. Do I have to ompile the following files? KindleLauncher / src / com / yifanlu / Kindle Extension.java ExtensionsLoader.java JARClassLoader.java JSONMenu.java KindleLauncher.java KindleLauncherResources.java LauncherAction.java LauncherMenu.java LauncherScript.java Menuable.java ReaderPluginLauncher.java |

Any chance you would like to do this for the Gmail and Facebook apps as well?
Wasn't too difficult actually, here is Gmail. The app lauches but crashes when I try to type my username. Any idea's? Last edited by bquast; 02-20-2012 at 11:22 AM. |

I was very excited to learn that I could write entire apps for the KT with only HTML5 and JS, so I'm curious the reasons to stay away from them. |

I am following these procedures: If anyone wants to know how I patched the home screen's menu system. I took JBE (Java Bytecode Editor) and opened up "com. amazon.kindle.home.view.browse.BrowseDisplayContro ller.$BrowseMenuManager" (found in /opt/amazon/ebook/booklet/home.jar) and under the initMenu() method, I added the following bytecode after line 25: . . . Then I made sure all the gotos and jumps afterwards were corrected with the new line numbers. I saved the class and added it into my KindleLauncher.jar and added that jar into /opt/amazon/ebook/lib, since it's in the lib folder it gets loaded before home.jar. Then I edited /opt/amazon/ebook/config/reader_plugins.xml and added my reader plugin in it. === I opened up the file and found two goto statements one at line # 13 : goto 17 11 invokespecial com/amazon/agui/swing/MenuDialog/<init>(Ljava/lang/StringV 12 putfield com/amazon/kindle/home/view/browse/BrowseDisplayController$BrowseMenuManager/B Lcom/amazon/agui/swing/MenuDialog; 13 goto 17 and one at line # 109: goto 111 106 invokestatic com/amazon/kindle/home/view/browse/BrowseDisplayController/class$(Ljava/lang/StringLjava/lang/Class; 107 dup 108 putstatic com/amazon/kindle/home/view/browse/BrowseDisplayController/B Ljava/lang/Class; 109 goto 111 I cannot find any 'jumps'. Am I misinterpreting something? |

I have the same issue with the cutted text on 5.0.3. But I only want to change landscape with the Launcher, and not with AUTOrotate. When do Yifan Lu update his Launcher script with this working MobiReader-impl.jar file? or can you help me to change the MobiReader-impl.jar manually WITHOUT AutoRotate? Thanks.

Please remove .DS_Store from your hacks
Yifan, thanks for all your work.
I believe that you are using a Mac because all your hacks create additional files on the Kindle which are not needed/used on Windows/Linux. For every file "file.ext", that your tools create, another hidden one "._file.ext" is created. I also found some .DS_Store folders. These files are used to store customizations for the Mac Finder. For more information check this Wikipedia article. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.DS_Store Please update your tools so that they will not add these files. |

Please remember to backup your original MobiReader-impl.jar in case you need to restore the original file. |
