K3 Screen Saver Hack
I know a hacked firmware exists for the K2, but is there any way this same hack will work with the K3? My guess is that it will probably screw something up since it's a completely different device, even though the OS is relatively the same. I sold my nook and bought a K3, and so far that's the ONLY feature I miss - being able to use my own images for the screen saver.

I suspect there will soon be screensaver and font hacks available for the K3. I hope so anyway because I hate those pictures of dead authors. And although the K3 now offers three font choices, I prefer to use different fonts than the ones they supplied.

I think NiLuJe is waiting for his new Kindle 3, or has very recently received, so I'm sure it won't be long before he performs his wizardry!

I should be getting my Kindle on Monday, so hopefully, I'll have some good news next week.

In short: no way to jailbreak anymore (at least for the moment). |

And they function to brand the Kindle as something for "serious" (literary) readers. What's in there hmm? Oh, Jane Austen. Old books illuminated by monks or something. It's all very highbrow. |

Well, it looks like these hacks won't be hard at all.

Given your versions of the SS and Font hacks were the first ones I ever installed on my K2i, clarknova, I think you might be about to ride in on a white horse and save the day for any K3 owners here who aren't afraid to try it out on the K3 ...

Everything went fine, had my preferred screen savers and font back on my K3 and one day later suddenly I could not open the book I was reading, could not reacquire it from archives, could not open other books and when I tried to uninstall the hacks could not open the settings page. Clicking "Settings" just brings me back to the home page. Amazon is sending me a new K3. Hopefully I won't be charged for it once the dig into the old one. |
