You'll need a jailbroken K4, of course, and it'll need to be clear of any previous SS/Fonts hack, and as always, not a KSO device. And freshly rebooted, to avoid weird issues.

The screensavers hack is probably way safer than the Fonts hack, which I anyway strongly recommend you *NOT* use, because I have no idea how it will interact with the KF8 stuff/the browser, and it's way more intrusive than the ScreenSavers hack, so, yeah....

On the bright side, I remember seaniko7 packaging these for the K4 a while ago, so there's hope that it actually does work .

If it is deemed safe enough, this'll eventually move to the first post with the rest, but in the meantime, consider it alpha untested crap. .

EDIT: The ScreenSavers hack has been moved to the front page (with proper K4/K5 binaries). The Fonts hack package here has also been updated to use proper K4/K5 binaries.
I have a Kindle 4NT that I had previously installed the SS hack 0.25.N and apparently somehow installed the Font hack 4.9.N. I just updated both to the newest versions (0.27.N and 5.1.N) and they both seem to be working great.

Just wanted to let you know since this thread doesn't have a lot of people reporting success or failure with the K4NT, especially with regards to the font hack. The only odd thing I've noticed is that there are 44 font files in the fonts folder where most of the font packs have 12 or so fonts. I'm not sure what the other 30 fonts are for or why they are even there. I'm not even sure if the font hack put those fonts there or if something else did.
