I'll do a quick recap of the changes, but check the detailed ChangeLogs for more info.

It's mostly 'under the hood' stuff, with an updated toolchain, and updated binaries & libraries everywhere, and a more powerful logging system.

Is it recommended to upgrade the existing hacks?

If yes, do I need to uninstall the previous ones first?

Thanks and regards,

@f-j-p:

Can't answer that for you, check the changelog, see if anything there is relevant to how you use the hacks.

• Next, no need to run the update_*_uninstall.bin updates, ever. (except in some specific cases, like if you're updating the jailbreak on a 3.x device, or from another font/ss hack [in which case you should use the original uninstaller for your hacks, and not the ones found here]).
• Then, you can apply the latest update_*_install.bin updates, one by one. You can safely chain both hacks installs.
• After that, to make sure everything's in order, do a full Restart of your Kindle ([HOME] -> [MENU] > Settings -> [MENU] > Restart), and you'll be good to go . Note that in some cases, especially for minor updates, this restart is not strictly necessary, but better be safe than sorry .

OPINION?

Will it be possible to hack, jailbreak, remove ads, from the new Kindle Touch 3G?

Hello,
... but in the kindle-jailbreak-0.9.N there is not a uninstall for the 3.2.1 FW...so in the case that I want to update to Jailbreak 10??? or update the font hacks???

Thankss

@ninki: That's because there's no need for a specific uninstaller/installer on FW >= 3.2.1 once the Kindle is jailbroken.

I have Jailbreak 9 for FW 3.2.1...

Do I need to uninstall anything to update things?... or update over update works fine?
Will the FW 3.3 update will work with jailbreak on??

Thanks and sorry about so many questions, its really gets confusing...

@ninki: Don't touch the jailbreak (there's nothing new you really need from 0.9.N to 0.10.N). Just update the other hacks by installing them on top without uninstalling them first. The 3.3 is safe to install with *these* hacks installed/enabled.

Is there a way that after the screensaver hack the pictures to be displayed as a slideshow? Or I'm stuck with just one until waking up?
(I tried an it seems there is no slideshow.)

There is no slideshow, only one shows until you wake it up. It's a power saving feature.

I believe I've followed the steps as outlined to use custom screensavers. Everything looks right. I've added several png files to the screensaver folder. Full reboot. Nothing seems to have changed. I've turned my Kindle on and off several times, like 20, and only see the advertisements. Kinda frustrating, I know its there, but it just doesn't come up.

The Sreensaver hack does not work on KSO's (I assume that's what you have?).... and I don't believe the authors of the hack intend to make one that does!

@ninki: Not supported, you're welcome to try to whitelist it, but you're on your own.
