@JohnsonZA: Check your logs, and check your config, the new user input sanitization code might have switched one of the settings to default. I've had pretty weird things happen when booting the Kindle with the USB cord plugged, so you might want to avoid doing that, too

. (What version did you update from, and what FW version are your running?)

@rogerinnyc: A factory reset doesn't remove the jailbreak, anyway

.
As for a file explorer, like adq said in the kif thread, it's not (easily) doable with the default KDK, so, not that easy, no. (And completely out of my skillset either way, KDK or standalone app). But, hey, you could always use midnight commander over SSH

@pxwu: The image *doesn't* change while sleeping, even with a vanilla Kindle. It's one image per sleep cycle. As for the timing issue, you might want to check the format & size of your images (exact size of the screen, PNG, greyscale, pre-dithered down to 16 shades of gray will work best, and be the fastest to load).

@Vandy: Everything here (except for the usbnet hack) should be pretty safe. On the K3, you might want to avoid the fonts hack if you're not sure, that's the only one that *might* be a little unpredictable. As for the warranty, it's a bit muddy, but they've publicly said some time ago that they didn't really object to (at least) the ss/fonts hack, but YMMV.
