Cool! Thanks for making this and testing it.
For your todo #1, have a look at NiLuJe’s fbink. On JB device, you should already have it. fbink is really easy to use, just type fbink in the ssh to see all options. BatteryStatus is a great example of fbink printing. |

I would also strongly suggesting double-checking whether this doesn't cause random stuff to busy retry-loop like crazy (... which is going to be harder to double-check without logs ;D).

Although there is always the possibility that I may have missed something. But... I tested via sh -x and it works fine and only on the specified files as long as the conditions match. If the conditions are not match, the script does nothing ![]() |

I can confirm that this blocking still works.
I disabled them on 12/03/23, exactly a week ago. Today, after multiple restarts and stuff, I can see that there are only these files: Code:

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but what's the benefit of disabling logging?

Amazon logs and sends to servers EVERYTHING you do on a Kindle, even every single tap and time in milliseconds precision.
This script prevents all of that. You can request your data from Amazon, you will get surprised. |

If I've already run renameota is that enough or do I need this too? Should I uninstall that first prior to running this ?

They do the same thing as far as OTA is concerned.
