PS: Thanks for including the gimp file, not all Kindles take the same size graphics.

I did make one for Paperwhite, but then it looked kind of weird so I kinda gave up

fyi, for anyone wondering: just drop it in place of /linkss/cover_cache/overlay.png (and overlay-pw.png if you made one for Paperwhite)

I ordered original paperwhite cover, but I don't like autowake function a bit.
It makes I will never see my custom screensaver

Is there possible to work kindle in that way:
- when I open cover, kindle turn on, but I need to swipe across my screensaver to see text
- when I close cover, kindle turn off.

Exactly like with ads, but with my custom wallpaper instead.

Yes - enable the password lock

or
Just remove the magnet from the corner of the cover.

I wouldn't like to break cover worth 40$

There is no more solution ?

For a: "Device: None" ?
Hard to say.

Please update your info. block.

@Eltanin: Nope, not AFAIK.

Eltanin · 10-07-2013, 12:25 PM

I base about info from this forum, amazon and youtube.
I don't have any kindle.... yet :P Waiting for deliver PW2.

But I already have cover (shiped earlier).

Return cover - order one without a magnet, lots of them to choose from on the 'net (K4, K5-touch, K5-paperwhite - all same size cover).

I know it's not possible at the moment, but is this something that could be worked on? I finally paid the $20 because I wanted my own screensaver and had a fml moment when it auto-woke, anticipating this very issue... My images look awesome, but I'd love it if I could see it for more than a hot second

NiLuJe · 10-29-2013, 12:58 PM

@jdubon3: Unlikely, since I don't even have said cover ;p.

knc1 · 10-29-2013, 02:01 PM

Take magnet out of corner of cover
or
return cover and buy one without auto wake magnet

I dont want to damage a perfectly good cover and the reason we want the tap-to-wake feature, like that of the ads, is because A) swiping at the screen is more convenient that reaching for a tiny button on the bottom, and B) having that feature would illuminate the screensaver, thus making it look better based on the tenth of a second i see it happen lol
