Welcome to
Kindle
Unified
Application
Launcher, your
/kuːl/ friendly neighborhood Launcher .
What Does It Do?:
As the name implies, this is a Launcher application, in which anybody can plug into to provide new buttons and menus through extensions. Those buttons can run pretty much anything, and the backend is powerful enough to make menus dynamic, allowing developers to use KUAL as a configuration UI for their stuff! But the basic principle is: click a button to run stuff!
A number of hacks ship with a KUAL extension, which is why you'll often see KUAL listed as a required dependency .
Moreover, it's universal! It'll run on (pretty much) anything, as long as it's running FW >= 2.3! With a particular caveat on the KT2/KV/PW3, where some early firmware versions won't let you run it... And a fun twist on the KOA/KT3/KOA2, as well as on FW 5.9.x in general, more on that later...
Latest Updates (06/04/2019):Added information about KOA2/PW4/KT4 support, as well as FW >= 5.9.x in general. Do read the instructions until the end to see which method applies to your specific device.
PSA: All downloads have been moved to the
Snapshots thread!
INSTALL:KUAL itself:Spoiler Warning below
As pretty much anything here, your device will need to be jailbroken. Please refer to the wiki and/or the
stickies & index for the appropriate method for your specific Kindle model .
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. If you're using an older device, you
will need to install MKK yourself .
Finally, you need to install KUAL itself, by putting the appropriate
azw2 file somewhere in the
documents/ directory tree of your device.
First, download the latest
KUAL archive from the
Snapshots thread and unpack it. Then, if your device runs on FW 5.x, use the
KUAL-KDK-2.0.azw2 file. If your device is older, use the
KUAL-KDK-1.0.azw2 file.
And 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. In the same vein, on FW using a dedicated Homescreen page, you will
never see KUAL in it). Right now, it won't be terribly useful, since KUAL ships without any extension, but now you have the tools to change that .
Check the screenshots attached to this post for a quick tutorial on how to actually navigate KUAL's UI .
Important notice for KOA/KT3/KOA2/PW4/KT4 owners, as well as *anything* that might be running FW >= 5.9.x:Spoiler Warning below
As 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.
Instead, on these devices, we will have to use the Booklet version of KUAL.
First, 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). Then, you will have to install
MR Package Installer (MRPI). Never mind that it's technically a KUAL extension and that we're in effect doing things in reverse .
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.
Finally, 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.
When the UI finishes restarting, you should end up with a KUAL entry in your Library (showing as a personal document).
NOTE for KOA2, PW4 & KT4 owners:As 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 .
Do take a look at the final entry in the FAQ, you will *most likely* need to use @coplate's patched version of the Booklet variant, so you might as well start with it to save you some trouble!
NOTE for PW3 owners: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. See the list of known issues for the reasoning behind this recommendation .
KUAL extensions:Spoiler Warning below
Let's take the 'Helper' extension found on the
Snapshots thread as an example. Simply unpack the
kual-helper archive at the USB root of your device. It'll create an
extensions folder, and a
helper subdirectory in it. That's it! Each extension lives as its own subdirectory inside the
extensions folder. 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!
Extensions 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.
Developers, see
this wiki page for all the gory details on what you can do .
Here are a few other 'quality-of-life' extensions provided by the KUAL dev-team:
KUAL+, which extends the KUAL menu with more configuration options for KUAL itself.
GNU Awk Installer, which will provide an install button for gawk in the KUAL menu. gawk will then be used by KUAL, instead of busybox awk. Long story short: it'll make KUAL parse your extensions faster, which is good . It's
highly recommended, especially if you use complex KUAL extensions.
MR Package Installer, which will make installing your favorite set of hacks a breeze .
You will find the full list of available extensions
here.
FAQs and Known Issues:Spoiler Warning below
Q. Halp! Everything is broken, and my device shows me a weird popup when I try to launch KUAL!
The content of the popup might range from "This device is not authorized as a test Kindle by the developer of this item", to "Mobileread Kindlet Kit is not installed"
A. You either fell victim to a silent OTA update, or you unregistered your device since the last time you tried to launch a Kindlet.
The fix is simple: reinstall MKK. (On devices where you installed the "hotfix" at some point in time, a simple reboot might do the trick).
Q. I tried installing the Booklet version on my device, but MRPI said it was "Not targeting my FW version" or "Not targeting my device", what gives?
A. It means your device was not yet identified at the time the latest release was tagged. Try using packages from my
Snapshots thread instead .
And I do mean that for *everything* you might want that can be found there, from KUAL, to MRPI, to my Hacks.
Q. I'm running on FW >= 5.9.x, and when I tap on KUAL's document, I end up on a blank screen, with just a status bar! I'm forced to hard-reboot my device to get back to my homescreen .
A. Don't fret, this is a known issue on some devices/FW combos (especially on the KOA2, PW4 or KT4, since they all ship on FW >= 5.9.x). On these devices, instead of the original Booklet version from the latest release/snapshot, you'll want to use @coplate's patched version, a (currently) up to date build of which can be found
here, in my Snapshots thread.
----
- Non-Japanese 4GB PW2 models won't run Kindlets at all [you'll get a "The selected application cannot be started. Please try again later" popup], unless updated to 5.4.5 or newer (make sure you're JailBroken before updating).
- In the same vein, on the KV, the KT2 & the PW3, some early FW versions won't let you run Kindlets at all [you'll get a "The selected application cannot be started. Please try again later" popup].
- Still in the same vein, do read the dedicated Oasis, KT3 & KOA2 & PW4 & KT4 section if you own one of these devices.
- Same deal if you're running FW >= 5.9.x. If you're reading this, I'm assuming you've read the specific FAQ entry about it just a few lines earlier.
- On a cold boot, even with everything in order, KUAL may sill fail to start on the first try, usually with a "An error occurred while trying to open this item", or a "The selected application cannot be started. Please try again later" or "Kindlet did not shut down properly" popup. This is a known issue, stemming from restrictions of the Kindlet framework, and the way in which KUAL is designed. Simply try again a bit later. (On a sidenote, enabling gawk might help a bit).
- Really old firmware versions on the K2 & DX did not support Kindlets, update the firmware to the latest version available.
- Frankensteined DXG with FW 3.x won't be able to run Kindlets without further tinkering
- You need an up to date JailBreak (>= 1.13.N) in order for your extensions to behave properly on FW >= 5.6.1. If stuff appears to be half-broken, that's probably the case (the breadcrumb line being prefixed with a % instead of a $ is a definite sign that your JB is outdated).
- If some buttons mysteriously fail to run, in an apparently random fashion, make sure your host system and/or your unarchiving tools are not messing with the case and the line-endings of files when unpacking the archives... This is sure to lead to hair-pulling mysteries otherwise .
- On newer FW, if you can't seem to find the KUAL button/entry, make sure you switch to a local Library view. Don't hesitate to filter by "Active Content" if you really can't seem to find it.
- When upgrading from the Kindlet (KDK) version to the Booklet version on a FW version that stopped supporting Kindlets, you will end up with a stray KUAL icon. This is a known issue (affecting the PW3 in particular). @knc1 has been working on an automated way to get rid of it, see this post for a recap of the current situation.
If you're reading this before the fact, you can easily avoid the issue by handling your updates smartly: install the Booklet version of KUAL, delete the Kindlet version *from the Kindle's interface* (it'll be the one with an icon), and only then, after verifying that the Booklet version is functional, will you be able to update your FW.

ALSO: Some extensions such as
Kterm ARE DEVICE SPECIFIC. This launcher won't MAGICALLY make code that is
DEVICE SPECIFIC work on
OTHER DEVICES.
If it doesn't normally work on that type of device? It won't work via this launcher either.Quote
NOTE: There is a push to provide binaries (or pairs of binaries) that provision for all device types. These gtk-driven releases will fit perfectly into the ecosystem of KUAL. This provisioning is still in it's infancy however. Some working prototypes do, now, exist so perhaps watch this space
Enough shouting. You get the picture by now.
It's a launcher of "other things" not an exciting thing in itself...The new KUAL v2.x series is less forgiving of BROKEN syntax in extension menu.json files... If you find any let us know and we will try to contact the author to get them fixed "at source", there are very helpful details all about the new KUAL error reporting mechanisms and what to do about the issues HERE:
http://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...&postcount=778ALSO: We have included a few optional helper scripts to get you going:

FAQ:
Spoiler Warning below
What stage is the project at?It's at a release stage.
Stable.
Anything I should know?You should only ever run code on your device from trusted sources. Code run via this launcher is no exception. We accept no responsibility and expect you to be vigilant and mindful of any custom code you choose to run on your machine.
Removing unwanted entries from menuIf you have a menu item you don't want. simply renaming the correct /mnt/us/extensions/<application name>/
config.xml and
menu.json to
config-skip.xml and
menu-skip.json will remove them from the lists next load. or delete the offending folders. your call.
Adding things to the menuSimply construct a pair of
config.xml and
menu.json in it's own application subfolder under /mnt/us/extensions/<application name>/ just like before. The launcher should now parse it.
At a minimum point the menu.json to run at least one thing (like say a shell script) to be actually useful.
http://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/KUAL_What's_New Contains a whole BUNCH of good information for developers about how to use the new KUAL 2.x menu system. Give that a read too.
How do I convert my Launchpad scripts?There is a
basic guide to converting the launchpad calls to menu items.
Currently we don't auto-parse the launchpad folder. So this process is required to support applications on the older (pre Touch) devices.
How Do I Exit?The kindlet will generally exit when you click a choiceCurrently just press the
HOME key if you have one or the
< icon.
Or select an item, the menu is generally self-terminating.There
is an option to make kual non-suicide on a per application basis, configurable in the startup configs. The "USBNetworking suite" demonstrates this in action.
I Have a Keyboard Device... Any Shortcuts?Key-bindings have been added for devices with keys;
PAGE forward and back now do what you expect and the top row (say q, w, e, r, etc.) will SELECT "options" (i.e KUAL BUTTONS) 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. Which is nice. So what can you do with this? Run other applicationsSpoiler Warning below

Anything I might not have read above that I really should have?Quote SUPPORT ADVICE
Since most of the support requests are about the initial
installation this section has been expanded to hopefully make it
perfectly clear.
Before you ask for support: Have you installed the
Mobileread Kindlet Kit? It is
REQUIRED.
Spoiler Warning below
You
MUST install the Mobileread Kindlet Kit!!!!!!!!!!!!!
See the
MKK Thread.
It is really required. Like really. You NEED it.
The large error messages will be a clue if you forget this step.
You install it using the UPDATE MY KINDLE option in HOME>SETTINGS
Don't expect support if you haven't installed it other than "
Install it!"
So by this point you should be 100% ready to install everything...Give it a go...
We maintain lists of known issues and other exciting details below. Enjoy the App.
Testing, errata, one last time...Spoiler Warning below
There are a couple of apps that don't play nicely -
xterm for example on the PW & PW2 must be replaced by Kterm. Documenting these corner cases would go a long way towards knowing what needs to be fixed. Some efforts to this end are being made in the
3rd Party Support Notes section below.
Feel free to add comments about amending that as needed.
This is in the Release phase right now for K2, K2i, DX, K3, K4, Touch, PW, PW2, KV, KT2 & PW3 devices, support is confirmed for these devices and it is safe to use the installers on them.
You can follow the project updates and grab the source here:
Kindle Launcher GitSee also,
as described above, the "Helper" extension package in the
Snapshots thread.
However: DO, Simply un-archive the HELPER package and place the resulting "extensions" folder and it's contents in your

This happens generally after:
- A change in the install of MKK. (following a failed previous "open" attempt)
- A newly installed application ends with a bang.
- You restart your kindle while the app is running somehow (ssh, rebootApp, etc)
Just press on "OK" then "Home"
IN TIME, or suffer the reboot
Simply opening KUAL again (after you dismissed the message) will work just fine. Very rare. Benign. This is actually the Amazon framework doing
it's job correctly and alerting us we had an issue. IIRC there is some way of auto-clearing the notification but this seems contrary. Therefore "Won't fix".

HOW DO I UPGRADE FROM AN EARLIER ONE? No need to touch MKK.Replace the old KUAL-KDK-
(1|2).0.azw2 file in the
documents folder with the new one.
NOTE: If you're upgrading from a version older than 2.3, remove the deprecated
KindleLauncher-(1|2).0.azw2 file in the process.

I just tried it and it works really fine!
Komic just works (I tried it on my 5.1.2 Touch. Could you please send me a PM describing the problem you found so I can fix it?).
This kindlet is fantastic!!!
Thanks to both of you!

Yeah. it was the config.xml line endings. Please run dos2unix over your config files before releasing them in the future mate
IN FACT IF ANYONE HAS ANY DOUBTS ABOUT THEIR FILES??? RUN THIS OVER THEM

Attached some files that are useful (many of them only work on KT <5.3.2) - and annoying to get hold of.
You've forgot to put this link into your post:
https://bitbucket.org/ixtab/kindlelauncherI always use Programmer's notepad from when I first had lots of problems with line endings.
Anyway, I'll check twice before releasing (BTW, no new releases until I have some spare time!).

Any idea on whether it works on 5.3.2 (KT) and 5.3.3 (PW)?
Quote phoeagon
Any idea on whether it works on 5.3.2 (KT) and 5.3.3 (PW)?
Should be device agnostic.
Just a quick post. Since I was the guinea pig for PW, it works great on PW running at 5.3.3. Will update later with more information.
p.s.: A quick note for installing. When on Windows and using 7zip and WinSCP. You have to extract the azw2 first before drag and dropping into your documents folder. Otherwise dragging out of 7zip and you get a nasty error3. And it took me quite a while to fix that.
