I just logged in to thank Portia, SparrowLight and Ixtab. I'd been having this screensaver nightmare for a while and it was freaking me out, since I can often not tell whether the device is locked or not. Can't tell you all the pains my little kindle has gone through, but I'll gladly describe the last few steps, in case someone else runs into this surprisingly annoying indiscernible screensaver thing.
Had already tried soft booting, hard booting, back to factory settings (and therefore having to rearrange 150+ books and articles in their collections all over again) and reinstalling custom screensaver 2.0 and uninstall and reinstall simple screensaver and screensavercopy. Was mustering the courage to follow the super intimidating unbricking guide when I stumbled upon this thread.
What ended up working was:
-deleting the screensaver folder
-installing simple screensaver
-uninstalling custom screensaver 2
-rebooting
-pressing the power/lock button
-crying in joy at the sight of The Doctor smiling at me from the lock screen
Hope it helps someone else
UPDATE:
The problem returned, and after some thinking, realized screensavers started failing after displaying one which did not have the appropriate (600*800) resolution. Corrected resolution for all pngs and it seems to work fine now.
