Font, ScreenSaver & USBNetwork Hacks for Kindle 2.x, 3.x & 4.x - Page 119

Gideon-SciFi · 05-21-2011, 08:19 PM

Hello- apologies if it's already been asked, but I can't seem to find it by searching this thread...

I'm successfully able to Jailbreak (kindle-jailbreak-0.7.N) my Kindle3wifi and add NEW screensavers (kindle-ss-0.22.N), but I'm interested in acquiring the original Amazon artwork files that came factory installed (Mark Twain, Jules Verne, etc.). I can't seem to find these anywhere in the file directories of either my device (in USB drive mode) or within the jailbreak or screensaver ZIPs. Am I overlooking something obvious? Thanks!

They are in a folder on your Kindle, but you need to make hidden files and folders visible first. (- in windows - tools, folder options, view, select "show hidden files and folders")

@Gideon-SciFi: They're in the linkss/backups folder on your Kindle once the hack is installed

(Which should *NOT* be a hidden system folder on Windws

).

thanks for your fonthack work again.

Sorry to bring this up again. I have checked all the CJK fonts, which all have those symbols defined, and the books are all in unicode mobi format, but unable to display these symbols (they are displayed as boxed question marks).

Is there anything we can do/edit to make these cute symbols usable? Sorry for being a bit nitpicking...

Hi NiLuJe,

I own a kindle 3 Graphite (without 3G). What I need to ask is that will it void out my warranty if I jailbreak it? once if I jailbreak it is it possible to undo it? and can they(amazon.com) detect that I'm using a Jailbreaked kindle ?

thank you and all those working with this JailBreak for Kindle

Google - technically, it might void your warranty but so far no one has found that to be the case. Some folks have reported that their kindle locked with a personal screensaver showing and they returned it to Amazon with no issues. BUT that does not mean that Amazon will not change their reactions in the future. It can be UNDONE as long as your kindle works. Just make sure to save the "entire package" which contains but the INstall and the UNinstall parts and you can reverse the process.

Hello,
i apologize if this was asked before, 119 pages are really many ;-)

In my opinion the style of the original fonts of K3 are ok --> but the steps of the different sizes are too big. I do not need most of the big sizes, i just use the smallest 3-4.

So my question: is it possible with one of these hacks, to add different sizes with smaller steps between them? Or to replace the big sizes with "between sizes"?
This would really be great....any advice is welcome

could you tell little more about this ^

I have jail-breaked my Kindle I think, I want to know whether it has properly done Jail-breaking it or now, how to find out?

And without adding the fonts/screensavers ?

NiLuJe · 05-24-2011, 11:48 PM

@dz902: No idea, sorry.

@Lion__1: You can manually set the font size in the reader.pref size (there was someone asking about the same kind of thing a few pages back), or you can probably tweak the scaling of the fonts in a font editing software.

@Google: There's always an uninstaller bundled with each hack.

Not really a way AFAIK. Why would you install a jailbreak if you're not going to do anything with it?

the reason is because as soon as I jail-breaked it, nothing different was I able to see on my Kindle
