@Amir_Niknam: Check the usbnet threads, I have zero experience with tethering.

I have a question: I was able to install my own font and change the horizontal margins using the reader.pref edit technique. Does installing the font hacks give me something extra?

NiLuJe · 10-24-2010, 07:28 PM

@Barty: Switching the UI (and optionally browser) fonts, and not just the reader font.

Hi,

Thanks for doing this. I just installed the screen saver hack. This may have been asked already, but I just can't read 68 pages worth of posts - as informative as I'm sure they are.

I am using the screen saver hack because I'd like the cover of the book I am currently reading to by my screen saver.

So, no problem, added the cover image (.jpg) to the appropriate directory and voila, my cover shows when in sleep mode.

However, the cover does not take up the entire screen. The entire cover has white margins around it. Thing is, when I view the cover while reading my book, the cover does take up the entire screen. I am using the same image - my book was converted using Calibre.

Any thoughts? Is there a particular resolution I should make sure the cover is before I put it into the screen saver directory?

@foghat: If you want a full screen image, it'll have to be *exactly* 600x800 (non-DX), or 824x1200 (DX).

If it isn't, the Kindle will most probably do something weird with it, depending on the FW. (At the very best, it'll be centered in the middle of the screen, with a blank (ie. white) margin).

Bottom line: process your image accordingly instead of using a straight dump from a book.

^ cool. thx. works great now with the resize.

foghat · 10-24-2010, 11:50 PM

One more question, if I decide I want to go back to the default amazon authors screen savers, do i have to uninstall this screen saver hack?

And if so, will the uninstall work once the firmware is upgraded to latest version?

NiLuJe · 10-24-2010, 11:58 PM

@foghat: Yes, or you can get them back in the linkss/backups folder.

I think he's saying look through the Kindle Developers forum for any and all threads about USB Networking (just look at the thread titles or do a search). One of them may have the tethering information you are looking for. NiLuJe doesn't have any experience with tethering.

Thank you,I have Kindle 2 (ver 2.5.2) and i did those steps (I have used K2i instead of K3 and Write 'usbNetwork) But it doesn't work. I have been installed older version of this hack and my computer determines my Kindle as a usb Adapter but when i want to surf the web Kindle says your Wireless is off you should run it first and when i use newer version usb adapter doesn't appear. I write the steps that i do and it doesn't work:
Kindle Version 2.5.2
1)Restore Kindle to factory settings ( I don't register it again)
2) copy "update_jailbreak_0.4.N_k2i_install" to root
3) update Kinlde
4)copy "update_usbnetwork_0.27.N_k2i_install" to root
5) update kindle
6) write ;debugOn
6) write 'usbNetwork
7) write 'usbQa (sometimes i didn't )
8) Conncet Kindle to Computer (Win 7 or XP)
In this step if i use older version my computer shows usb adapter but in this version usb Adapter doesn't appear
9)If computer determines usb adapter I go to network and sharing center set 192.168.2.1 for usb adapter
That is all of thing i do for using usbnet
Plaese tell me which steps are wrong or I didn't do it
Thanks

NiLuJe · 10-25-2010, 01:53 AM

@Amir_Niknam: Don't use usbQa. Ever.

Amir_Niknam · 10-25-2010, 01:56 AM

I have tried without usbQa too. But i still have problem
Do i need write some hidden code after step 9 or change some file or not ?

ichbindasauge · 10-25-2010, 02:54 AM

I think this might help you, you might have to change the IP addresses of the Kindle-PC network (I assume the things in that thread are still true, there is information somewhere in the same thread on how to do it)
