[Kindle Touch] Turn store button on search bar to browser button
A very irritating thing in the kindle touch, especially for those who don't use the kindle store, is the store button on the search bar. We could remove this in < 5.1.0 but now that doesn't work. Here's how you turn that button into a browser button (detailed enough for a noob to follow):
First download the attachment, extract it and save "store.png" in /mnt/us i.e the usb drive. Then ssh into the kindle and enter in: Code:
cd /usr/share/webkit-1.0/pillow/assets/search_bar mntroot rw mv store.png store.bak mv store_active.png store_active.bak cp /mnt/us/store.png . cp /mnt/us/store.png ./store_active.png cd ../.. cd javascripts cp search_bar.js /mnt/us mntroot ro After the comments you will find a line (somewhere between line 20-30): Code:
const STORE_ID = 'app://com.lab126.store'; Code:
const STORE_ID = 'app://com.lab126.browser'; Code:
cd /usr/share/webkit-1.0/pillow/javascripts mntroot rw mv search_bar.js search_bar.bak cp /mnt/us/search_bar.js . mntroot ro killall cvm Last edited by aditya3098; 07-14-2012 at 08:43 AM. |

I'm using this icon instead and I like it. There are 2 icons one for normal and one for inverted mode. This is best for FW 5.1.0+
I always wanted to have forward button too in the browser. Last edited by thatworkshop; 09-21-2012 at 10:33 PM. |

Nice and worked fine. Did all of the stuff in WinSCP, so I had not to switch between USB and SSH. Much more useful now, the button.

Can I use this button for the Launcher? ( or for the music player ?) I don't use the internet browser that much. (This could also enable Launcher for the all cases.)

Launcher: no. The launcher directly injects an Action into the menus, so it can't be triggered externally. |

Only problem is I can't run a script before running my app (as I do using launcher). That's why I'm studying a way of using LIPC to run that script when my app is launched! |
