I apologize if I'm not asking there. Existence = are there any utilities, or some mods for the 3G Kindle - so that you can use the audio player in a slightly more functional way? Ie, at least, would be the choice of files, file browser, rewind.

Sori, if there is a choice of files in the firmware, just to quickly nothing but a pause, play, track track - did not find.



Rep: (0)
And I had a problem: jailbreak installed, updated, threw off the crack file, and the line [HOME] ->[MENU]>Settings ->[MENU]>Update Your Kindle is inactive, you can not upgrade. Tell me what's wrong.

Tell me what is wrong

This happens when the version of Rusik does not match the firmware,
remove rusik and download new Kindle firmware (if necessary)
put rusik corresponding to your firmware and everything will turn out

Rep: (0)
;) I have firmware 3.1 and rusik corresponds to it (as it is written in the instructions for it). Other reasons may be?



Rep: (1)
The people, someone put the player? How is he? Is it worth it? In the standard does not like the lack of a choice of the previous track.

Jonk15 @ 05/11/2011, 18:38*
Other reasons may be?

the reason is hardly hardware
look at everything carefully, there each file corresponds
to your Kindle (by number)



Rep: (1)
At the expense of using Kindel as a 3G modem with free Internet, this idea may end badly. You will be detected by a large amount of traffic and plus they will be wondering why Kindel is following Windows updates, YouTube, and downloading movies ... the list can be continued, Amazon reserves the right to turn off Simka without explanation.

Tell me, who put the Russification, Cyrillic device pronounces and, if not, did anyone win it?



Rep: (6)
Russification is not related to the talker. The talker is a separate topicfor example here

4.1 download the downloaded archive into the customupdates folder on kindle, disconnect from the computer and install it with the key Shift Shift I

And I do not have a customupdates folder. There is only a customupdate.sh file in the launchpad folder.
What is wrong doing?



Rep: (70)
Sasha426 @ 05.13.2011, 17:41*

Installing your own screensaver

You can add to this item:

Note: if you want the pictures to appear in random order you just need to create an empty file random (without a copy) and copy it to a folder linkss (this can be done by copying and renaming the file autoreboot ).
Regular pictures will be saved and will be available in the linkss \ backups \ 600x800 folder (for kindle 3). Necessary copy in the folder linkss \ screensavers.

IMHO is an important note.
