Need clarification on installing screensaver hack
I understand that having the jailbreak install is the first step. However, I am not clear if the jailbreak _install.bin should be removed before installing the screensaver hack. I haven't tried it yet so I don't know the result.

Can someone step in to help?

Thanks.

Makes no difference. But you can delete the jailbreak _install.bin after a successful update with it.

So that means the update process in kindle can distinguish what's already installed? What if there are two __something__.bin exsit, which one would be chosen to run when update?

Got it.

I just installed the jailbreak. At the end of the process, it deletes the bin file.
Thanks for your help.
