This is what I currently have on the file:
# DENABLE_SEARCH_INDEXING_THREAD:TRUE \ set to TRUE to disable indexing on device It seems it is not working as the kindle continues to index. Can someone tell me what is missing? |

Like Tiersten said, and I've discovered, it *is* unusual for the Kindle to continually reindex files, it normally shouldn't interfere with your reading experience. The reason mine did is that I was using the unlighted Kindle case and it shorted out my Kindle continuously and restarted the indexing procedure. Is this the case for you? Are you maybe using corrupted ebooks that hand the indexing mechanism. I wouldn't suggest you send the Kindle back before you figure out what is going on. Its a wonderful device if its working properly |

Hello, I'm trying to revert all changes I have made in the MoviNand Flash. I made these changes on my Kindle after installing Jailbreak and usbNetwork hack:
At first, I didn't realize that changes on the MoviNand could be irreversable, I used to think that a factory reset would bring back changes (). I was foolish enough not to make any backups. Anyhow, the changes I have made were not major ones. So, I'm trying to revert all changes.. I am using the Diagnostic mode to make an md5hash check in order to verify if I have successfully reverted files to their original state. This is the log file from the first diagnostic test: Code:
MoviNand Diagnostic Test: FAIL : md5sum - /opt/config/not_shipped not found FAIL : md5sum failed on /opt/amazon/ebook/bin/start.sh FAIL : md5sum failed on /usr/bin/showlog FAIL : MoviNand Diagnostic Test Code:
MoviNand Diagnostic Test: FAIL : md5sum - /opt/config/not_shipped not found FAIL : md5sum failed on /opt/amazon/ebook/bin/start.sh FAIL : MoviNand Diagnostic Test Code:
# DENABLE_SEARCH_INDEXING_THREAD:TRUE \ set to TRUE to disable indexing on device I am asking if anyone would be kind enough to share the corresponding line so i can replace it to pass the hashcheck. It would be better if a section form the code is pasted, because every line break and space counts My Kindle version: B006 k3g 3.2.1 (576290015) WSO Thanks |

Easy way to disable Indexing via Jailbreak and Launchpad hacks only
If you have the Jailbreak AND Launchpad hacks installed, a very easy way to do this (without the need for the USB hack or installing any *.bin files) is to copy these three files to your launchpad folder:
disable_indexing.ini Code:
[Actions] ; Search Indexing disabling/enabling D I I = !source /mnt/us/launchpad/disable_indexing_install.sh D I U = !source /mnt/us/launchpad/disable_indexing_uninstall.sh Code:
# Search Indexing Disabling/Enabling Hack mntroot rw cp /opt/amazon/ebook/bin/start.sh /opt/amazon/ebook/bin/start.sh.bkp sed -i 's/-DENABLE_SEARCH_INDEXING_THREAD=true/-DENABLE_SEARCH_INDEXING_THREAD=false/' /opt/amazon/ebook/bin/start.sh mntroot ro exit Code:
# Search Indexing Disabling/Enabling Hack mntroot rw sed -i 's/-DENABLE_SEARCH_INDEXING_THREAD=false/-DENABLE_SEARCH_INDEXING_THREAD=true/' /opt/amazon/ebook/bin/start.sh rm /opt/amazon/ebook/bin/start.sh.bkp mntroot ro exit Updated to include 'WS64''s suggestion below. Further updated to include the '[' in '[Actions]' in the '.ini' in the '.zip' attachment as pointed out by 'reprep'. Last edited by inameiname; 12-21-2011 at 05:55 PM. |

Thanks inameiname, looks great, I learned something about UNIX again...
One suggestion though, your uninstall simply moves back the before saved file. Great if no other changes have been done in the meantime. But a safer way would be to redo the replace statement and then delete the (completely unused, but still good to have) bkp file. |

True. I originally had the replace statement there in the uninstall script as well, but, from what I recall, I changed it because I wasn't sure at the time if the replace statement would mess anything up, and thought it was better to restore the original, as then I know the exact same one as before is back. Maybe I'll fix it. I am curious, though. What sort of changes might occur on that start.sh script? Does it routinely change? And you say it would be safer to just let the changes happen? |

Not sure what else can hapen at start.sh... What is "allow_demo" and which "extkeyboard" might exist?
I actually do not think about changes done by the OS (don't think there are any) but by other similar "hacks". |

In all, I am just thrilled I was able to find this thread in the first place. It is amazing how much my battery has improved just because of this tweak. Also, it is pretty sad how much battery is used just to index 1000 books! :P |

Thanks for the hack inameiname. You forgot a square bracket in the launchpad .ini file which makes the launchpad unable to recognize it. A corrected and repacked archive is attached below.

Oh thanks, mate. I actually have one very large '.ini' file that I use and that works, so I just made this one up on the spot to include just this one thing. Thanks for pointing that out. I updated my link.

Hello.
I have on my kindle a whole lot of books, using around 1GB of kindle memory. I successfully disabled indexing. I noticed that the dictionary word search works nicely, and that the book title search as well (filter by first letter of the title or author). I noticed, as well, that if I am doing a regular search (with no index files created) the system still waits a long time before returning the titles search result. I find quite it strange, since it only parses the lists of books titles and authors. Is there a solution to speed this up? Thank you. Last edited by hfpop; 01-11-2012 at 03:48 PM. |
