I'm just getting into kindle development, and I want to know if it is possible to turn off kindle's sleep mode? Or is there a way to wake it up (or a way to program it to wake up) by pushing the buttons on the front, rather than using the power button?
Not looking for anything to in-depth here, just point me in the right direction or let me know if it is possible.
Here it is stated how to change the sleep timeout. This needs usbNetworking, which requires "jailbreak" and the usbnetworking hack: both can be downloaded from this thread. With usbNetworking you can telnet or ssh on your Kindle, which offers a full fledged shell with vi.
The thread about timeout change does not say that the kindle file system is read only: to edit t1_timeout you must first enter mntroot rw.
The usbNetworking hack requires a bit of research; read through the README_FIRST.txt included in the .zip.
And always remember that the Kindle is yet another Unix, so check also this wonderful handbook :D.
