Just dusted off my old Kindle 4 from 10 years ago and decided to finally get some use out of it by jailbreaking it. I'm thinking of turning it into a digital photo frame and I've seen some projects for that already too. But what I'm curious about is if it's possible to change the system image displayed for when the battery is dead? So instead of displaying the charge battery image, I can have it permanently display another image until I charge it again? That way it can be used as a permanent picture frame even if the battery is totally drained.

Not sure if it's a simple image file swap somewhere in the directories or if I have to compile a whole new custom OS, but any insight would be much appreciated!
