Display jailbroken Kindle info using lipc-get-prop

Published on

On my jailbroken Kindle I wanted to display information about it (e.g. its IP address, battery level etc.)

There is a command on the Kindle, namely lipc-get-prop that you can use to gather information about your device, e.g.:

lipc-get-prop -i com.lab126.powerd battLevel

Additionally, to find the information youโ€™re looking for, you can leverage lipc-probe like so

lipc-probe -a | grep -C 20 -e batt

This way you can discover what keys seem interesting for your use case.

Furthermore, you can use the built-in command to interact with the e-ink display named eips
