Trying to get my daughters K5 Touch (without special offers) to run custom screensavers of her children, but it's been an epic fail. I JB the touch with Kubricks, that was super simple... but after that... I'm not sure where I went wrong. Followed the instructions per NiLuJe's page at https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=195474 installing both Python and linkss, updating after each bin file. Then I made triple sure I was using the right file formats, and correct 600X800 grayscale pics... and TA DA! Last page read now is the screensaver. Somehow... I'm pretty sure this wasn't what was supposed to happen. Rats. So, I uninstalled both of the updates... and nothing. No screensavers. Not even the default ones. Still just the last page read. The only thing I didn't uninstall was the Kubricks Jailbreak. I even tried to restore it, but I understand that didn't undo the jailbreak, but still no screensavers at all. So anyone have any clue as to what I did wrong?

I did post one other thread in another area, but being new, I put it in the wrong forum and it was suggested to put one here.

Thanks
