Support:
Currently only supporting the Touch and P/W (early test let's call it)
Will eventually support all models.
Specifically we are no longer attempting to adjust obfuscated classes nor extend the menu framework
It's a launcher of "other things" not an exciting thing in itself...
We have now included a few helper scripts to fix a known issue with a misbehaving application and to get you going called "Helper" (attached - unzip to FAT-ROOT/extensions/helper)
Installation:
Jailbreak. Kindlet Jailbreak. Install Developer certs.
Put KindleLauncher-2.0.azw2 in documents folder.
Run it by clicking icon.
![]()
Expected output:
It should read thru the /mnt/us/extensions folder and build a list of your extensions. Which you can just click the relevant button of to run.
Version 0.2 will exit the kindlet when you click a choice
TO EXIT:
Currently just press the HOME key on a Touch or the < icon.
Or select an item, the menu is now self-terminating.
Known issues:

Credits.
This is mainly the work of Ixtab.
with some nasty hacking by Twobob. I assisted somewhat also.
Yifan was the original chap whoms configs we parse. And everyone else along the way.

Anything I should know?
You should only ever run code on your device from trusted sources. Code run via this launcher is no exception. We accept no responsibility and expect you to be vigilant and mindful of any custom code you choose to run on your machine.
So what can you do with this? well at the moment a few tests would go a long way. There are a couple of apps that don't play nicely -
xterm for example on the PW must be replaced by Kterm.
Documenting these would go a long way towards fixing these corner cases.
This is in the TESTING phase right now. Shouldn't hurt anything to try it, but don't expect miracles. cheers.
Also Attached as described above is the "Helper" extensions package.
simply put in your extensions folder to get started.

YOU WILL NEED TO HAVE AN EXTENSION SUCH AS THIS (kterm) TO BE INSTALLED FOR THIS TO BE USEFUL HOWEVER SOME OF THE OLDER PROGRAMS NO LONGER WORK ON THE NEWER KINDLES (nothing to do with this launcher they just dont work properly anymore) SUCH AS MANY IN THIS OLD LIST: SOME OF THESE DONT WORK AS A COURTESY THESE BROKEN APPLICATIONS ARE LISTED BELOW UNDER KNOWN ISSUES IN AN EFFORT TO SAVE YOU GRIEF AND WASTED TIME |
