unable to return to the native system :( #814

Closed th0mass closed 11 years ago

th0mass commented 11 years ago

the problems stated on #749 still valid :( home button works but returns to file manager of KPV (not to the original system) file manager menu still not appear except from the just after the launch of the app.

using 5.3.2.1 -KUAL- -20130320

OK, let me test it again tonight ;p

So KT user can get around with home key right?

th0mass commented 11 years ago

unfortunately not. home button opens the "KPV file manager " not the native one. only way is the hard reset. (like the home button in the reader menu)

houqp commented 11 years ago

Um... Could you help me this it by replacing the reader.lua(under KPV root dir) with following content? https://raw.github.com/houqp/kindlepdfviewer/7f32b427ea27e360841d7d83a81795c862f6ac3f/reader.lua

It exit the reader, instead of invoking the menu on home key press.

What I have found out so far is after exit from a document and wait an unreasonably long time, the menu start to working again. So I suspect it might related to GC in lua runtime.

Will look into further in following days

tried after resetting kindle to factory defaults in case some changes in Kindle cause this problem. now it exits in both reader.lua but the existing one exits but not replaces the chrome bar
the one you give the link above exits without any problem so far. ( but I guess we need some feedback from a different Kindle Touch )

edit: both the home button stop responding and the upper menu in the file manager doesn't appear when I get around the menu back and forth

I added the existing exit function as a new "quit" tab like home button on readermenu to have this option in case of fails of the original one. 2013-03-23 16 17 52
