Ideal Jailbroken Firmware Version?
I've been made aware of LanguageBreak and have used it to jailbreak a KOA2 on its latest firmware.
So far things have been smooth, but with how spread out and mixed info can be, I figured it would be worth registering to ask this: Is there an ideal version to be on once jailbroken? It seems like every few 5.XX something has been a major change that breaks most existing things, but it's very hard to tell if 5.16.2.1.1 is compatible with anything I'd reasonably run into now or if I should be on 5.15.X-5.9.X because of some thing that just refuses to cooperate still. The "Old UI" definitely exists as a factor (5.13.X?), but if I'm only ever opening KUAL or KOReader then I don't know how relevant the stock UI remains. Probably overthinking this but might as well get the thought out there. |

If you’re not planning on using the regular Kindle UI for reading books then there is really no reason to downgrade; people who revert to a previous version of the firmware normally do so because they prefer the older interface.
Be careful however with upgrading beyond whatever firmware you are currently on - the latest versions of the firmware do not play nicely with the jailbreak. |
