KindleForge 🔠

Important

This edition of KindleForge (2) is now discontinued in favour of a KPM (Kindle Package Manager)-Based one to be bundled with UJ (The next jailbreak). Feel free to use this, as it should work, but this repository may be moved to my personal account (polish-penguin-dev) at any time in favour of the new project. Thanks for the help!

What’s this?

KindleForge is a persistent app store for Kindles based on IllusionUtild.

It is inspired by KPM.

How does it work?

• KindleForge is based on Illusion – it’s a WAF (essentially, a web app).
• Apps are grabbed from REGISTRY.JSON and loaded.
• Uninstall/install is determined from a local PACKAGES.LIST.
• When you add or remove a package, the relevant script is run (through Utild).
• Installation success is determined by polling – checking every 500 ms if the app was added or removed from PACKAGES.LIST.
• If nothing changes within 30 s, the operation fails (assumed premature exit).
• (This is because there is no Mesquite lipc-get-prop equivalent; only events, which Utild doesn’t implement.)

Can I get it?

Yes, although expect styling, scaling, or UI issues. The functionality of the app should be complete; only registry entries may be missing.

1. Ensure you are on the latest Universal Hotfix (scriptlets). Jailbreak support out of WinterBreak for Illusion is not guaranteed.
2. Get the KindleForge/ folder and the KindleForge.sh script.
3. Put them into your documents/ folder.
4. Run the scriptlet! (You may have to tap or double-tap.)

Contributions

• Please contribute to the registry! It would be greatly appreciated.
• CSS and scaling help is also needed—these remain significant issues on Mesquite.
