@baf: Great minds think alike .
I happen to have a watch on releases of your MOBI implementation, and I just saw the mobitool cover thing, and I was just thinking of looking into trying it out . As you said, can't really drop Python entirely because KFX, but that'd still allow me to drop my outdated and mangled copy of KindleUnpack that doesn't support Python 3 because I'm too lazy to rebase it ;p. |

@NiLuJe
I added cover feature to mobitool just for the sake of screensavers hack mod. Just a few lines of code. Glad it may be useful for you. BTW I didn't realize the ss hack is such a complex code. Impressive! |

I also don't buy books on Amazon (mostly), but I do use the KFX format through excellent KFX output plugin, 'cause they display much better on the Kindle. I wouldn't dismiss kfx that easy if I were you...

Random Screen saver hack isn't working
I have latest python installed + screensaver hack
Although cover hack works fine but custom random image hack isn't working FW is latest 5.13.1 can I have old builds of SS hack to try them or install specific python version? As default it automatically switches screensaver to lastscreen hack |

@Kinki: That's just because you have broken images in your image pool. An old version won't help you, that codepath doesn't depend on Python, and hasn't been touched in *years*.
See the docs/FAQ. |

You'll also have to reboot the device, once the ScreenSaver code hits an image it doesn't like, it's stuck until the next boot.

Failing integrity check when installing on Touch
Hi there, first time posting on this forum so please bear with me. I've just jailbroken my Kindle Touch and I was following the instructions to install the ScreenSaver hack. However, it keeps failing (After checking the package, it immediately goes to "Destroying Package"). Here is the MRPI log output:
Spoiler:
I don't really understand the output, since I would have thought the integrity check would be one of the most basic checks to pass and I'm not sure why I would be the only one to have it. My "Update Your Kindle" IS greyed out, though I'm not sure why. I didn't update my Kindle after jailbreaking it. What I've (not) done: I didn't modify the file. I ran Install MR Packages with the kindle unplugged. I am not subscribed to special offers. I'm planning on using the cycle mode. This might or might not be relevant: Spoiler:
Would appreciate any help! Hope my time spent finding nice wallpapers wasn't wasted |

That vaguely look like the *very* first build I pushed yesterday.
It was *very* broken ^^. The current build should only be *slightly* broken, but it mostly passed and worked on my PW2. It's still broken on Kobo, though, so new stuff is currently baking, should be ready in a few hours. |

For the ScreenSaver hack? I actually went on to try installing Python 2.7 and LibrarianSync using MRPI yesterday but they both failed multiple times due to "Illegal Instruction". So I was actually wondering whether the error was due to the ScreenSaver hack or MRPI... I know this is slightly off-topic but did you also push a new build for MRPI?

Not sure why I can't edit my previous post, maybe it's a new member restriction. Anyway, I just saw your latest posts on the Tools Snapshots page so will wait for your new builds with anticipation

What am I doing wrong, if every time I switch off the flight mode, I get the Amazon screensaver again?

What does the sleep screen look like? If it looks like an advertisement, you have the special offers version. If so, you can remove the special offers option for $20 by signing in to amazon.com and going to the Manage Your Content and Devices page.
