I received my KPW 5.2.0 today and the only thing I really want to change is the screensaver images. I managed to jailbreak the device with no issue. I don't know enough about usbnet to mess with it, I haven't touched a unix box since '96.
I attempted to install simple_screensaver_1.0 but after copying the file to the Kindle directory on my Windows 7 machine and unmounting and unplugging the KPW. The update device button remains greyed out. Just to see if I was screwing it up I tried to install usbnet the same way and it installed just fine, leaving a new folder on the device. I then uninstalled usbnet. The usbnet folder was still on the device after that and I manually deleted it.
So is there a workaround for installing custom screensavers on KPW that does not involve usbnet for those of us who don't feel qualified to use it? As Clint said - "a man's got to know his limitations."
I admit to being a total noob on this, any help is appreciated even if it is simply to let me know I'll have to be patient until someone gets around to doing the work. Someone who I would be more than happy to give a donation to...
Also I'll submit the screensavers I've made over on
http://kindlewallpapers.tumblr.com/
Update: Seems that kindlewallpapers hasn't been updated in over a year.
http://kindlescreens.tumblr.com/ hasn't been updated in a couple of months either and unless I'm missing some those are the two main kindle screensaver blogs on Tumblr. Anyone know another Tumblr page for them?
Thanks,
David
