- - - - Underneath the GUI(s), Linux and Mac OSx both derive from Unix systems - You'll find many similarities at the command line level. For a little practice (since your Kindle runs Linux, not just an academic waste of time) - Try playing with a Linux Live CD (which doesn't change anything on your Apple, Pear, Peach, whatever). This is a popular one - http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html But there are a lot of choices out there - http://livecdlist.com/ |

No, device wasn't jailbroken. Backdoor lock was not installed. I manually copied BIN and updated KV.

The bridge should theoretically still be effective w/ 5.6.2.1, the basics should survive the trip. Whether anything actually works after that is anyone's guess, though .
The keyword being *theoretically* since I'm still not running 5.6.x on any of my devices . |

P.S. FONT_RAMP working for me too on 5.6.2.1. No jailbreak. Curious why Amazon has allowed this. An oversight they will eventually correct or intentional relaxing of tight control? Last edited by odamizu; 04-29-2015 at 12:21 AM. Reason: added P.S. |

This would have to be pretty deliberate.

Which caused them, their users, and us no end of trouble (a user supplied, bad font file can seriously brick a Kindle). |

I just got my Kindle Voyage with 5.6.2.1. The trick with /mnt/us/FONT_RAMP does not work for me.
Did anyone else have any trouble with this? |

It is strange. The file is Unix-ending (still irrelevant as there is no line ending). Uses dots, not commas. Is placed in the usb root. Is named as it should. Still wrong.
I should reboot after each change of the file contents? LE: I was testing with mobi files. As I understand, with these it does not work. Last edited by hfpop; 05-21-2015 at 03:07 PM. |

Would something similar work with margins? I would really like to get the bottom margin lower.

No, this requires vanilla firmware support as it is shipped by Amazon. As far as we know, they have only left a configuration option for the font sizes.

It may be a bit hard to see, since it has a white background, but it is there. Hmm.... Perhaps a modification of 'fronter' could move that bar to a hidden layer so that area could be used for page viewing. - - - - But whatever, you will have to jailbreak the device to gain access to the full file system. |
