I don't know what is going on there (I don't care about screensavers), but just a hint: restarting the framework from within JBPatch only restarts the Java-based part of the UI. It is *not* the same as a full device reboot - in particular, it doesn't affect other native services.

Also, when restarting from JBPatch, it appears a message at bottom of the screen saying that it's looking for new screensavers, so I think this restart option works for screensavers patch. |

@dirgeon: That's entirely doable. It just adds another crapload of processing time to the process, but it's fairly easy to do . Will look into it.
@Pepin33: What ixtab said. The hack *needs* a full restart to catch some stuff. It also needs a varying amount of time to process the cover of a new book, which is why you're experiencing some inconsistencies in current book open vs. cover used as current screensaver. |

@Pepin33: You could follow what happens over SSH through showlog -f for more details, but I'm guessing something's not quite right on your side.
(Wrong date/time, broken catalog db, missing covers, funky files, ...). Last edited by NiLuJe; 01-18-2013 at 06:04 PM. Reason: *sigh* proper command name this time ;) |

@Snorkledorf: Implemented in the next version (black trigger file => black borders)
@dirgeon: Implemented in the next version, as a 10% height semi-opaque overlay at the bottom of the screen. (Only in cover mode, because that's the only mode that actually does image processing, and with a cache, because it really takes a crapload of time to generate the banner. Relies on word-wrapping instead of honoring \n, it was generating unreadable stuff when trying to mash >2 lines in 60px . pinfo trigger file). I'll probably release it in a few days, I'm waiting for a few other things first . |

Huh. Further proof that I'm awful at maths: it's actually a banner with a height measuring 10% of the *width*, not of the height. (ie. 600x60 for 600x800 screens, 758x76 for 758x1024 screens).
>_<". (It's late, I'm rambling. Don't mind me ^^). Last edited by NiLuJe; 01-18-2013 at 08:05 PM. |

Stupid question: I have a 2012 (black) kindle, but it's neither the paperwhite, not the touch version, do I now have to apply the K5 or K4 screensaver hack? Already tried the K4 method (without jailbreak), and I cannot seem to update the firmware.

@Jackie7: K4. And you do need to jailbreak first.
