Hey everyone!

I installed this on Kindle 3.1 firmware, using jailbreak 0.6.N and the ss 0.22.N.

Everything seems to have worked, but when I slide to switch “off” my Kindle, it does indeed show a RANDOM wallpaper that I have installed, but the image never switches away from that one wallpaper. It doesn’t do the slideshow effect like it did before the hack. Also, if I slide to switch “on” and then switch “off” again, it does indeed show me a new random screensaver, but it still doesn’t start rotating through them after some time.

How do I get the automatic rotating functionality back?

Thanks for any help!

EDIT
Now that I look into it more, actually it's not showing a random one, it's just showing the next screensaver in the sequence, each time I flip the power switch on and off. I have indeed created a file called "random" in the "linkss" directory. I created the file by copying "auto" and renaming it to "random"

Any help appreciated!
