Kindle Paperwhite 5.8.2.1 - Custom Screensavers
Hi All. Long time no Kindle..... so long time no see!

After a long gap, using a tablet for ebook reading, I've just taken delivery of my third Kindle. On previous Kindles I've always modified them to accept custom screensavers.

I'd like to do the same for the new device which runs 5.8.2.1 O/S. I have browsed the forum but it looks to me it isn't going to be as simple as before. (Perhaps I've missed something).

Can anyone point me in the right direction please? Is there a thread on here which will tell me how to install custom screensavers? (That's all I want to do, absolutely nothing else).

Obviously I want to be able to do it safely and hassle-free. Thanks.

That would be a question you'd need to ask in the development forum, not here. We only deal with the standard Kindle firmware here. Would you like me to move your post there?

The answer is in developers. Have Harry move this and I will link you to the correct thread.

"hassle free" is subjective.
You will have to quantify what YOU mean by the term before anyone can consider the limits you wish to express.

Jail break the device (before it updates to 5.8.8) -
Get your ss package from NiLuJe's snapshots thread.

The ss installation has remained essentially the same, like in forever.
Although there are more options now, it also provides KUAL menu entries for their control.

Also: ss still does not work (by design) on Special Offers devices.

= = = =

Most likely, what you have missed is setting the index filter to the prefix: "Tools" and then clicking on the "show threads" button.
Do that, and the threads you need will be rather obvious (at the moment 1st and 5th).

Go here:
Look at the table and make sure your serial number and firmware match.

Read all steps including the spoilers. Do each step. Do not skip anything.
