Hi

I have updated the packager to creates custom firmware for the Kindle with version 2.3.

I'm assuming that with firmware 2.3 ; both the original Kindle 2 and Kindle 2 DX now require signed packages just like the Kindle 2 International; and none of the existing packages will now install properly.

The packager can be found here:
http://www.avenard.org/kindle2/packager-0.7.tgz

Note that the options format has changed.

To create a package for firmware 2.3 you do:
./kindle_update_tool.py m --k2 --sign --ex name files ...

I've repackaged the screensaver hack ; for the DX, Kindle 2 International and Kindle 2: there:
