Can not get cover view to work

I just jailbroke my Paperwhite 2, 5.6.5. Installed Python, then the screen saver. Got the confirmation "Screen Saver Hack is Installed!"

Created a blank folder in the "linkss" folder named "cover".

Went into the settings in KUAL and told it "behavior: cover" and restarted the framework. Also rebooted the whole thing. Also, made sure my time was correct.

Tried opening a variety of books. Will not show the cover, still just the "screensaver hack installed!" image.

I know for "custom" images, your files have to follow certain guidelines for resolution and type. But what about for "last cover" covers that I put on the book myself using Calibre? Do they have to follow the same guidelines?

EDIT

Solution! It helps to read the ENTIRE instructions. For anyone else who has this problem... you probably forgot to unplug your Kindle while installing, OR you made the 'cover' folder when its best to use the built-in option to do so.
  • Run the 'Uninstall' bin included in the Python installation zip
  • Run the 'Uninstall' bin included in the Screen Saver installation zip
  • Re-transfer the correct Python and Screen Saver installation bins to your Kindle
  • UNPLUG YOUR KINDLE
  • Re-install both Python and Screen Saver
  • Go into the Screen Saver options in KUAL
  • Go to Screen Savers Behavior
  • Tell it you want Cover Mode
  • Re-start the Framework
