Reinstalling firmware 5.1.0 on a 5.1.0 KT?
Hi,
I have a problem with the custom screensavers in my KT 5.1.0. Until now I have been able to run the jailbreak, remove ADs, install SSH, launcher and several utilities, but the Custom Screensaver does not work for me. I would like to start from scratch, and I did already run the Factory Restore on the KT, but after the restore, not even the original screensaver works! Now my questions.
Thank you in advance |

I tried both. Also the SSModeSwitcher.
I also verified that the files in the folders /mnt/base-us/screensaver /usr/share/blanket/screensaver are the same |

just to make sure: if your kindle has SO, then you should remove the ads.
simple screensaver hack "should" be fine. make sure that you renamed the images in a correct form. you can find the hack file and some tips here. ( Personally I'm OK with the default screensavers hence didn't try) |

ADs are removed. I installed the Toggle ADs script in the launched and disabled them
I have run a simple test. Running the SSModeSwitcher script with the lock screen option, and restarting, seems to work fine from the SSH: root@192.168.15.244's password: ################################################# # N O T I C E * N O T I C E * N O T I C E # ################################################# Rootfs is mounted read-only. Invoke mntroot rw to switch back to a writable rootfs. ################################################# [root@kindle root]# cd /usr/share/blanket/screensaver [root@kindle screensaver]# ls lockscreen.png But the lock screen does not work Maybe the Toggle ADs is not really working? |

And it shouldn't. if you want to use lockscreen.png with the simple screensaver, you should rename it. |
