3) put your screensaver files into the created directory (you need to restart the kindle after putting in new files) |
Thanks for this tip. I was able to do this on my new Kindle 4 nk/SO using ssh via usb. I made some nice screen savers out of my personal photos. They had to be tweaked a bit to look good indexed in 16 colors. Also, the file naming looks weird so I just used names like 01N.png, 02N.png like the originals.
I would like to find out how to use ssh via WiFi. I did all the configurations you posted before but I need to know more about how to get it running. Is there an ENABLE_USBNET file or something that needs to be in /mnt/us/ ? I followed your directions for Windows and then tried Linux, but I couldn't figure out how to see the Kindle on my network.
Anyway, there's some great work going on here. I read the whole thread a couple weeks ago and it was all greek to me. As I read it again, things are beginning to make sense.
