Hacks Help: Screensaver hack problem

ra0ultortugas · 11-17-2011, 10:41 AM

Hi:

Searched the forum for a previous discussion of this but came up empty.

I have installed the latest screensaver hack on my Kindle Keyboard Wifi, then loaded about 40 new screensavers. My problem is that the Kindle only cycles through part of the list. Is there a limit to the number of screensavers that can be loaded at one time?

Some screensavers are much slower loading; is this a function of file size?

If I choose the "random" option will the Kindle cycle through all the screensavers in my file?

Thanks,

Ra0ul

@ra0ultortugas: You're probably using broken/badly encoded/way too big images. Using greyscale PNGs exactly the size of your screen should be the best way to avoid issues.

Wow:

Thanks for your reply and thanks for developing this great hack.
You know, when I inserted the random file into the folder, the problem
went away. I can see all the screens and they load fast whatever the file size.

All the best,

joe
