Hi!

After a week of trial and error I got online screensaver to work properly on my Kindle Touch. Hopefully someone else might find this useful.

I downloaded the file provided by amapetilan and made the following changes:

config.sh: changed NETWORK_TIMEOUT (line 66) to 59 seconds and the name of the screensaver file (line 45) to match the one provided by the screensaver hack;
checkschedule.sh: changed config.sh and utils.sh at lines 14 and 19 respectively with their full path;
enable.sh: fixed the typo at line 13 (sourc-->source);
utils.sh: removed lines 27-65 (I think this was the edit that made everything work. If you think you need them, use the original file and fix "wait_forr" at line 33);

I don't think these have anything to do with the extension working properly, but still:

scheduler.sh: changed the value at line 23 to match the one in config.sh at line 10;
Turned off and then on again the Kindle's automatic time setting;
Reset and reinstalled from scratch the jailbreak and the extensions just to be sure;

My goal was to integrate this with the Home Assistant Screensaver add-on and so far it works as expected.
Huge thanks to all the people who contributed to this thread!
