Halp! Everything is broken, and my device shows me a weird popup when I try to launch KUAL!
#HOW TO SET DEFAULT LAUNCHER KINDLE FIRE FULL#
You will find the full list of available extensions here. MR Package Installer, which will make installing your favorite set of hacks a breeze. It's highly recommended, especially if you use complex KUAL extensions. Long story short: it'll make KUAL parse your extensions faster, which is good. gawk will then be used by KUAL, instead of busybox awk.
#HOW TO SET DEFAULT LAUNCHER KINDLE FIRE INSTALL#
GNU Awk Installer, which will provide an install button for gawk in the KUAL menu. KUAL+, which extends the KUAL menu with more configuration options for KUAL itself. Here are a few other 'quality-of-life' extensions provided by the KUAL dev-team: It'll automagically get picked up the next time your start KUAL, and you should see a new 'Helper' menu pop up in the main KUAL screen!Įxtensions should always be packaged this way (i.e., simply unpack them at the root of your device), but if they're not, unpack them inside the extensions directory instead.ĭevelopers, see this wiki page for all the gory details on what you can do. That's it! Each extension lives as its own subdirectory inside the extensions folder. It'll create an extensions folder, and a helper subdirectory in it.
#HOW TO SET DEFAULT LAUNCHER KINDLE FIRE ARCHIVE#
Simply unpack the kual-helper archive at the USB root of your device. Let's take the 'Helper' extension found on the Snapshots thread as an example. See the list of known issues for the reasoning behind this recommendation. If you're reading this and you're not yet running FW >= 5.9.x, I'd recommended moving to the Booklet variant ASAP, and then removing the Kindlet version. ĭo take a look at the final entry in the FAQ, you will *most likely* need to use patched version of the Booklet variant, so you might as well start with it to save you some trouble! When the UI finishes restarting, you should end up with a KUAL entry in your Library (showing as a personal document).Īs you already installed it during the JailBreak process, you can disregard the mentions of the "hotfix", yours will by definition be good enough for the job at hand. Once that's done, put the Update_KUALBooklet_v*_install.bin file (found in the same archive as mentioned earlier) in the mrpackages folder, which you'll find at the root of your Kindle over USB, then eject & unplug you Kindle.įinally, enter log mrpi in the Homescreen's searchbar (in a similar fashion as what you had to do during the Jailbreak), and wait for MRPI to do its thing. Never mind that it's technically a KUAL extension and that we're in effect doing things in reverse. Then, you will have to install MR Package Installer (MRPI).
#HOW TO SET DEFAULT LAUNCHER KINDLE FIRE UPDATE#
Instead, on these devices, we will have to use the Booklet version of KUAL.įirst, the prerequisites: your device of course still needs to be jailbroken, and needs to be running a recent " hotfix" version (the vast majority of you should be covered, only the early adopters might need to update their hotfix). Important notice for KOA/KT3/KOA2/PW4/KT4 owners, as well as *anything* that might be running FW >= 5.9.x:Īs of right now, and for reasons outside of our control, Kindlets will fail to run on these devices & firmwares, so you can disregard the earlier bit about the azw2 file.

Ĭheck the screenshots attached to this post for a quick tutorial on how to actually navigate KUAL's UI. Right now, it won't be terribly useful, since KUAL ships without any extension, but now you have the tools to change that. In the same vein, on FW using a dedicated Homescreen page, you will never see KUAL in it). If your device is older, use the KUAL-KDK-1.0.azw2 file.Īnd that's it for the basics! You should now have a pretty KUAL button/entry on your Library (on recent FW, make sure you switch to the local Library view. Then, if your device runs on FW 5.x, use the KUAL-KDK-2.0.azw2 file. įinally, you need to install KUAL itself, by putting the appropriate azw2 file somewhere in the documents/ directory tree of your device.įirst, download the latest KUAL archive from the Snapshots thread and unpack it. If you're using an older device, you will need to install MKK yourself. In addition, you may need to install MKK: if your device runs on FW 5.x, and you're using the K5 JB >= 1.11.N (or the associated "hotfix"), you don't need to do anything, MKK is bundled with your JB. Please refer to the wiki and/or the stickies & index for the appropriate method for your specific Kindle model. As pretty much anything here, your device will need to be jailbroken.
