Kindle Paperweight Only One Screensaver

jonlanglois · 04-09-2014, 02:13 PM

Hi all,

I am sure I am the 1,000,001st person to whinge about this, but I came late to the Kindle game!

I have a Waterstone's bought Kindle Paperweight that just shows one screensaver and if I read that Murakami quote one more time I might just flip.

I have Jailbroken (Jailbreaked!?) the Kindle and installed Python and the screensaver hack. I have filled the screensavers folder with a variety of pictures however I get the same Murakami quote every time. Am I missing something? It's as though I've missed a part that gets the hack to look in the right folder!

Cheers

Jon.

Check the settings in the ScreenSavers KUAL extension, there should be something for you there.

Hey, thanks. I'm getting no joy though.
My .png files are all in the screensavers folder in links and I have the screensaver hack, python, MKK and KUAL installed. And I still just get one screensaver! I'm at a loss!

Is that with the Waterstone switch flipped, and the device restarted?

Try going into kual, screensavers, screen savers tools, clear cover cache.
Then hold the power button down until the kindle restarts (keep holding when you see the popup).
