[Suggestions] Any idea on backporting the keyboard on 5.3.0
well i've been trying to backport it to Kindle Touch (5.1.0).
Anyway the keyboard layouts (the *.gz in /usr/share/keyboard/_LANGUAGE_/) do work after copy & paste.
but the rest doesn't seem to be working.
and i looked into the libkb.so and found that several routines are added:
Code:
***************
*** 34 ****
- candidate_clear_candidate
--- 34 ----
***************
*** 37 ****
- candidate_get_preedit
--- 36 ----
***************
*** 44 ****
- candidate_user_selection
--- 42 ----
***************
*** 54 ****
- cJSON_get_bool_val
--- 51 ----
***************
*** 60 ****
- cJSON_is_val_bool
--- 56 ----
***************
*** 75,81 ****
- ext_cand_can_page_down
- ext_cand_can_page_up
- ext_cand_close
- ext_cand_is_open
- ext_cand_open
- ext_cand_page_down
- ext_cand_page_up
--- 70 ----
***************
*** 89 ****
- gdk_draw_point
--- 77 ----
***************
*** 90 ****
--- 79 ----
+ gdk_gc_copy
***************
*** 98 ****
--- 88 ----
+ gdk_window_process_update
***************
*** 124 ****
! gtk_widget_destroy
--- 114 ----
! gtk_widget_get_root_windo
***************
*** 191 ****
- prv_handle_mouse_down
--- 180 ----
***************
*** 193 ****
- win_mgr_utils_new_ext_key
--- 181 ----
***************
*** 195 ****
- win_mgr_utils_set_draw_mo
--- 182 ----
so any suggestions on backporting it?
or is there anyone who succeeded in backporting the keyboard without the libkb.so file? (Unlikely though)

I don't understand your question. I just used a patched kindletool (which I patched myself and, BTW, worked only by incident, but it's said that new kindletool binaries support PW out of the box) to extract the update bin.
then i got a rootfs file. i just mounted it on the system and explored a little. the "/usr/share/keyboard/" seem to be in a image file under that path so i mounted it again. that's how i got those files.

@phoeagon, you chose very confusing name for topic.

I didn't understand also that you're trying to take keyboard software from PW and backport it to KT. It looked like you're modifying PW updated to 5.3.0, not KT.

(But, of course, now I understand your intention.)
