Already hacked but fail to change screensaver?
Hi guys,
I've already jailbroken my kindle 4 black and installed screensaver hack on it. And I also find the folder named screensavers in linkss. But unfortunately, after I restart my kindle, the screensaver is still blank and show nothing. How could it be? I do think my procedures are correct. BTW, l once succeeded long before and changed the screensaver with my own picture.But after I reset my device and tried to do this again, I failed. PLZ help me with this problem. THX a lot.

hi stephanie, maybe it is because you reset your kindle... maybe not.
but it will not hurt to install the jailbreak/screen saver hack again. nothing will break. so, after you install it, do you see the custom screensaver that is installed by the screensaver hack? |

I tried installing jailbreak and screensaver hack several times. But the screensaver never changed for custom one or my own one. Any other ideas? |

Is this still true?
"the screensaver is still blank and show nothing" Two possible causes: No screen saver image found (that is just the screen showing) ; A screen saver image found which is either all white or empty . Have you done the "uninstall" step before each time you tried to re-install the SS ? If not, you may be leaving an empty file behind that does not get replaced by the install process. Another possibility (although maybe only part of your problem) - Is your Kindle a SO (Special Offers) device? If so, contact Amazon to have the SO feature disabled. |

I'll try uninstalling the SS and re-installing it again. Hope that can solve my problem. My kindle isn't a SO one and already unsubscribed the ads. |

Are you LONG pressing the power button or just pressing momentarily? Long press hibernates the kindle and no ss is shown.
