Device: Base kindle K4.1.0
Removing ads from Jailbroken K4.1.0

Hi there everyone,
I was just given a new Kindle as a gift - I'm pretty sure it was the cheapset version, as it has ads, but I'm not complaining ^_^

I just jailbroke it (fwiw, it was running 4.1.0 from startup) and installed some new wallpapers on it after following the "Universal" method described here: https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Kindle4NTHacking
and it was successful - I saw the new 'you are jailbroken' book in my library, so that's all fine.

I then subsequently added the screen saver hack here:
https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Kind...26_4.x_Kindles

I double checked, and I definitely installed the correct bin file - "update_ss_0.33.N_k4_install.bin" as it's for the K4.

I then added a bunch of screensaver images from http://kindlewallpapers.tumblr.com/ as a test, and updated the kindle as per the instructions.

Unfortunately though, when it goes to sleep it still comes up with ads - at the moment it's some AT&T wireless ad (I'm in Australia, we don't have AT&T here - ha!).

Are there any hacks available from the mobileread community that get rid of the ads? I've tried googling other alternatives but realised that solutions from other websites might interfere with the jailbreak or the screensaver hack, so I thought it'd be best to ask here first.

Bit of a newbie to tweaking my devices, so please treat me gently :P
