All the buttons in the top row behave like that.. get inverted temporarily when you touch them.. acts as a feedback to the user.. similar thing in android/ios.. where you also have the option of haptic feedback.. |

Don't know if you noticed it, but now that you have a button for KUAL, there is also a nice bonus: you can switch between kual and other activities using the back arrow. I mean: you are reading a book for example, and wonder how much battery (percent) is left: you press kual button, control the battery status with BatteryStatus app, then click on "back" button and continue your reading, without passing through home screen

Yes.. I did notice the use of the back button when kual is running..
Though i didn't imagine the specific case of checking battery while reading.. ![]() Because..

Oh I meant the icon (because I didn't make a backup of anything like a dummy). I restored it hoping that the cart icon would restore...it didn't. THEN I ended up deleting the two icons on root level hoping the cart icon would restore...it didn't (there was just a big empty spot). So I just took Aeris' screenshot from the first post and aligned/cropped everything.

I'm sorry for necroing a very old topic, but I was wondering if I'm able to do this on a PW3?
I tried the KUAL+ option of replacing the store icon, but it didn't seem to work (It still tries to launch the store after enabling it) Also is it at all possible to remove/change the Goodreads icon from the launch bar? |

I was thinking KOReader. I wonder if it's even possible to launch it directly without KUAL. ![]() Last edited by tryol; 03-23-2021 at 08:48 AM. Reason: I was wrong about why it's not working, seems like it's something else. |

I've spent some time today trying to find where the icons are stored for the search bar, but I couldn't.
There is no longer a /usr/share/webkit-1.0/pillow/assets/search_bar folder on newer firmwares. I've even tried to delete/rename /usr/share/webkit-1.0/pillow/locales folder which contains all the icons/strings for the different languages, but it didn't have any effect. I'm not sure where they are stored now and why this locale folder even exists if it's not needed. I've tried searching for any other images on the firmware but didn't find the store icon anywhere else. ![]() Edit: Seems like they completely moved this from search_bar.js, removing the file doesn't change anything. Even after a restart, every button functions correctly. Last edited by tryol; 03-29-2021 at 09:25 AM. |

Hm, how odd. I hope you manage to find something, that would really be the cherry on top of the jailbreak.
As for what to replace goodreads with? I've no idea actually, preferably just remove it entirely, though unless it breaks everything. |

Seems like everything got moved to "/opt/amazon/ebook/". I've started working on a KUAL extension to replace the icons / functionality.

![]() This took considerably longer than expected. Unfortunately, even though I made a KUAL extension for it, I won't be able to release it. Let me explain: There are 3 different .jar files that need to be modified in order to make this work.
The kaf.jar and kaf-(your locale).jar files have .class files inside them. I only needed to change strings in them, that was possible without recompilation. With .class files, each string's length must match the number in the byte before it. If you enter a string, and its length doesn't match up with the preceding byte, the .class file will probably break the original kaf.jar file. This could easily result in your system unable to display the UI on boot. That's why I went and created custom .class files with correct strings for both buttons and all languages. I shouldn't have done this because as I found out later, these files are not only different in each firmware version, they are also different in every device on the same version. To release a script that works everywhere, I'd either need to make .class files for every firmware/device combination or make my script inject bytes straight into the .class files. The former would take an impossibly long time, the latter would be too dangerous considering how much these .class files vary. The strings can be at completely different places based on locale, firmware, device and I don't want to risk possibly bricking other people's Kindles by messing one up by 1 byte. So basically I've made a script that works perfectly on a KOA3 5.12.4 and nothing else. If there is demand, I can see myself writing a tutorial to do this manually, but doing it won't be easy.
