Completely forgot about the snapshots

Thanks for the lead. Need more coffee

Edit: Using the snapshot versions gave me a working screensaver hack! Nice!

@trekk: As usual with these devices (for now), use the snapshots version.

EDIT: Yay, missed the page switch.

Surprise, surprise:

Downgrade from 5.4.5
Jailbreak
Upgrade to 5.4.5
Continue installing things (other than Collections Manager) after that

I did JAILBREAK already. I installed python & linkss updates. But no luck

There is a note "That said, you can unsubscribe to Special Offers at any point of the process with no ill effect.
Do note that the "Swipe to Unlock" behavior is a particularity of the Special Offers screensavers that this hack will not replicate (this is in particular good to know if you happen to own a magnetic cover, since those severely limit the effective amount of time you'll actually see a screensaver)." Does it mean that, If my device is with offers, screen saver will not work?

And what about the third step in my list?
Have you done that?

1. Update_python_0.10.N_install_pw2.bin for a PW2
2. Update_linkss_0.17.N_install_pw2.bin
3. Put file named cover or last to in the linkss folder

Bur fortunately, today, amazon removed the special offers (SO) on my device
Now, actually I don't need SS. I wanted custom SS to overcome SO

@pantera10684: Which it doesn't, as per the big fat red warning at the top of the first post.

Now amazon removed SO. Now will the SS work ?

NiLuJe · 08-07-2014, 12:51 PM

@pantera10684: After a restart, yes.

OK, I was on 5.4.3. Jailbroke, installed MKK, python, KUAL, KUAL+ and screensaver. Upgraded to 5.4.5

Now all I can see is the default screensaver hack installed cover logo. How can I get the cover of the current book I am reading to display? Help! Thanks in advance.
