SkipStone browser for Kindle Touch

Lots of fun

really need a tidy Landscape mini solution now I suppose as well. will dig around for documentation.

Games work, but very slowly. Is it possible to fix this? I think the point is that the first is zero pixels, and then set the new values.

I don't get what you mean. I don't think you can turn off screen refreshing from the browser.

I understand you mean Flash games.
The best way of fixing it would be adding some RAM to Kindle
Seriously speaking Gnash plugin probably could be better configured or adjusted to Kindle, but I don't know how to do it.
What do you mean by zero pixels?

a moving image is formed faster and better, is it possible to apply this principle in your flash player?

After ANOTHER enormous amount of messing around. I still cant get the gst stuff to work mate

I would politely suggest that what is in fact needed is an ordered dither algorithm https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=176802
there is one implementation.

Also the source code for GnuBoy contains a 2 bit ordered dither implementation IIRC. I should go check. and probably the VNC client that hawhill built has one in too.

Obviously the Geekmaster video player also calls on this method (albeit a slightly older version IIRC)

The code is out there. needs welding back into the other apps.

I am struggling if I am honest with the concepts and currently failing to implement an ordered dither in SDL. but this is the solution probably.

: ) HTH

EDIT: There is quite a lot of "fiddling about" to be done to support all the various devices.

falling back to a simple system("eips ''") at least should invoke some response of all of them rather than the system level driver calls like:
ioctl(fd, FBIOGET_FSCREENINFO, &finfo) as they fail on my device. and others.


EDIT...

Here's a bit ripped from gnuboy's pallete update section....
I think this is the bit that refactors the pallete. Could be wrong

the last bit: ioctl(fd, FBIO_EINK_UPDATE_DISPLAY_AREA, &myarea);
I would probably shelve and just update the lot.

you get the idea anyways.
bit shift palette to black and white in an ordered way.

This would be a code level change. for sure.

Yes, but I get a horrible keyboard layout... one sec. Ill take a picture.

It's the rotated mini-keyboard that I mean to fix.

There needs to be a layout added for the rotation IIRC

: ) I'll go take picture now.

[zerolucat]

It is a great web-browser! Thanks! But I've some problem with the keyboard. For example, the keyboard does not appear when I must edit a text field ... I do not know if it's just my problem or it's a common problem... in any case someone has an idea on how to solve it?

Please use the keyboard button on right side of address bar.

sorry, I had not seen that there is a button to make it appear . It is really a great job

[twobob]

Actually I had a look in the gnash folders...

/mnt/us/extensions/gnash/lib/gnash/libSDL-1.2.so.0

which leads me to believe that this will automatically work once we have a fixed SDL build. the main app (gnash) would need rebuilding with an SDL rendering target...

my build currently has TSLIB support, ALSA, and a slightly updated video section (work in progress)

If someone has a better one with ordered dither already implemented I would happily fork that into what I have and share it.

I'll play around with updating the Gnash SDL and see what happens
EDIT: SDL only handles the sound in this build...

Need to change rendering targets.
from my testing it is DEFINITELY not managing the eink properly, and a move to 2 bit would certainly speed thing up. (The output is near identical to prboom with default colours, for sure a colours issue)

okay so:

I get picture 1 with

[root@kindle libexec]# gnash tetris (I scripted it to be easy)

and picture 2 with
[root@kindle libexec]# /usr/bin/lipc-set-prop com.lab126.winmgr orientationLock R; gnash tetris; wmctrl -r matchbox -e 0,0,0,600,70

the " wmctrl -r matchbox -e 0,0,0,600,70 " is so we can see the keyboard, as - by default - it's REALLY tiny : )

as you can see I need to fix the rotated layout for the mini.#
EDIT:

Any way this is OffTopic really... I may shift it to a new thread.

[briant1234]

UHOH! so i tried to load gmail, and everything froze up. now, i can get it to restart, but it reaches the lock screen where it does not load the passcode box, and i cannot get it to go to main menu, or recognize in windows. advice?

EDIT: seems to work now? plugged it in again and it just booted up O.o

Thanks for reporting this.
The webkit part of original skipstone is in alpha version. It was mainly designed as gecko engine browser. Many features are not implemented. Even as basic ones as opening "_blank" pages in new tab.
I added some stuff, so google docs seem to work for me now.

Please test new version.
