The update appears to work as a standalone for 5.4.3.2, but installing it seems to have broken the screensaver hack. I'll try to reapply it tonight after work, but I figured I'd at least mention that after updating the collection manager, by screensavers have reverted back to stock.

A well known result of an OTA update. Just follow the directions for recovering from an OTA update. Also, consider installing the "Backdoor Lock" so you can control if/when Amazon destroys your Mobileread additions. |

(It didn't sound like he was referring to an OTA update anyway... although the result does.) Last edited by eschwartz; 06-30-2014 at 11:15 AM. |

Well, a Kindlet and the ScreenSavers hack are completely and utterly orthogonal, so I sure hope he got an OTA on the way, because that doesn't make any sense otherwise ;p.

Version 2.7.1
Ok, here's a proxy release: 2.7.1
This new version brings support for FW 5.4.3.2 on the PW2, thanks to mhnotnot's contribution. Thanks! I don't know if 5.4.3 is similar enough to work properly, and I think this doesn't handle 5.4.3.1 correctly, so if you're running one of those versions, please tell us about your experience, a fix might be trivial. @ixtab & @mhnotnot: right now, the source lives as a bb fork here, and I'll send a PR as soon as everything is done . EDIT: Done. If something broke, I'm probably solely responsible for it, so, yeah, tell me if something feels wonky . Last edited by NiLuJe; 06-30-2014 at 07:41 PM. |

@DrPrince: Not supported right now, but supporting it *might* be trivial, provided Amazon wasn't completely evil.
If no-one has bothered to check before then, I'll try to remember that next time I update my Touch. |

Version 2.7.2
Okay, I had time to check, and supporting 5.3.7.1 appears to be trivial, so, let's do it .
Do the same for 5.4.3.1, although I did *NOT* test it (unlike 5.3.7.1, which at a quick glance seems to be behaving okay). Last edited by NiLuJe; 06-30-2014 at 10:54 PM. |

Then, entirely separately, I updated my version of the collection manager, which re-broke the screensaver mod. However, re-installing the mod worked, and now I have an updated kindle that correctly runs the collections manager and uses my own customized screensaver images. |
