... as much as I'm flattered because I'm the center of attention now...

Aha. The topic in which the usbnetwork hack is given to the community is not the topic it can be discussed. So where is the relevant thread? Plz help me with link because I can't find it in the forum search.

Ok, my bad. I apologize for the misunderstanding and my tone, you are correct - this is indeed the right thread for your question, and I should have paid more attention. Guess I'm just a grumpy old man at times.

Do you mean that re-jailbreak and re-ss after reset the device? I did try this method several times but still had the blank screensaver. How could that be? Do I misunderstand your method? If so, plz let know ASAP. I cant bear blank screensaver anymore!! THX! |

Oh and what do you mean by "reset my kindle to default"?
You are supposed to restart it. NOT reset it. |

I'm using the cover feature and it's great but has his problems, at least with kindle 3 keyboard. some times (very frequently in fact) after reading a book and opening a new one the book doesn't uses the new cover (and the cover it's generated in his folder). I found than rebooting de kindle usually gets the correct cover to be used. But today with a book it's imposible. I'm thinking in returning back to ramdom pictures as is not working very good at all. |

I recently purchased a DXG and successfully "jailbroke" it and applied the personal screensaver process.
I just finished upgrading the unit to Kindle 3.2.1 (also successfully) and lost functionality of my personal screensavers in the process. It is now using the 3.2.1 screensavers. What is the most direct way for me to get my screensavers back? Yes, I saved a copy of the linkss folder and it is still on the DXG. Does the unit now require a new jailbreak version and a redo of that process or is there a simpler route? Thanks in advance. BTW, the Kindle DX will now become my reader of choice and my fully Android (4.2.2) Nook HD+ will continue on its way to full tablet functionality! Last edited by harryzee; 06-20-2013 at 07:14 PM. |

Nevermind!!!
Tried a reinstall of the dxg ss bin and all has returned to normal under 3.2.1! My personal screensaver photos are back and fully functioning. |

Hiya there,
I realize I might be slightly (read: very much) OT here, I apologize in advance. Is there a thread, forum subsection or similar in which are grouped links/resources for the kindle custom screensavers? After manically customizing mine I ended up with a considerable collection of images that I recently started to upload on a blog for everyone's use. Is there anywhere I can share the link without being OT or flagged as spammy self-promotion? (also external links would be very welcome, I have no reference in the kindle-users community) |

@elchamaco: That's interesting, because there's indeed a bit of hackery in place for this exact thing (the first sleep cycle after a change in last book opened), at least on some models. Can't remember if I enabled it for the K3, but will check!
Which exact Kindle model/FW version are you using? And approximately how many books are there on it, total? @Gully Foyle: IIRC, there were a few over the years, but not recently (that I can remember). If someone manages to dig them up, we could probably aggregate all of them in a shiny new thread... That said, a good reason for the lack of such thread is probably the iffy copyright situations one can be in when sharing images on the 'net... . **** OT: Thanks to twobob & knc1 for holding down the fort during my break .
