Yeah, it changed with the release of the DX. The DX hack will likley work if you change the screen saver directory location, since the DX points to the 824x1200 files, and the K2-int would need to point to the 600x800 files.

the images are in /opt/amazon/screen_saver/600x800 ; but I can't see anywhere in the scripts where it's referenced ; must be done in java directly. I did have fun though and wrote directly to the eInk framebuffer, loading my own image... I'll look at the DX version right away |

Version for K2 International
Here it is..
Update: Now, do not require any pre-installation. Will work as is... If you have installed the version earlier, there's no need to upgrade again.. The file is now a gzipped tar, instead of a ZIP Last edited by jyavenard; 11-01-2009 at 09:23 PM. Reason: New version: no breaking required |

Thanks so much intrepid Jean-Yves! I'm thrilled to have my iKindle working with my own screens. You are a total genius! Thanks beyond words.

The iKindle seems to prefer gifs to jpegs or pngs. If you are a Mac user make sure you don't have any spaces in your title. Use an underscore instead of a space for the .gifs
Hack work perfectly! Bravo Jean-Yves! |

Edit: If anyone is able to grab screen shots from your computer and Kindle (alt+shift+g on the Kindle) of the installation of this hack (like those seen in Visual Guide for the U.S. version) it would be much appreciated. Some of us (pointing directly at myself) find it easier to follow instructions with pictures. Thanks! Last edited by daffy4u; 10-31-2009 at 10:51 AM. |

I just cant get this to work. I have so many files downloaded onto the kindle now, none of them work, yet I follow the instructions to a T. Sigh.
Maybe I will try it on a different PC that has very few programmes. |

Today I tried this process again on a brand new laptop which had no media files or programmes, other than those pre-installed through Windows. And
![]() So, jyavenard, thankyou to you for your hack, and I am also pleased to know that there was nothing that I was doing wrong, it was just that the programmes I had on my laptop were causing issues. Which is what I thought was happening anyway. And why I asked that question in the other thread. And I am so pleased to get rid of those terrible dead people!

Just installed the new 2.3 software. It would not install until I ran the handy uninstall hack thoughtfully included in Jean Yves package. Now I am hoping to reinstall the hack and I'm keeping my fingers crossed. . .
