Screensaver help?
Hi guys,
My new paperwhite arrived yesterday. I paid amazon to remove the ads, and I did the steps listed and jailbroke my device. I'm really confused about how to take the next step to add custom screensavers back in. Would someone explain it to me like I'm a six year old? Thanks! |

I want to change the kindle paperwhite's font!
Thanks for an easy jailbreak tool.
I try to use this tool. But I don't know how to change the font! I enter the diagnostic mode and try to change the font. but paperwhite is still write-protected. Although paperwhite obtains the write permission, I cannot rename folder. How to change the font by jailbreak tool? Help me! |

Thanks for the warning. I'll hold off on the upgrade, as I use Collections Manager enough that I took apart my Kindle to get it back after the 5.3.0 update.

No, just kidding, I keep pretty pleasing him, but I think it is a bit more complicated than that and with the new update breaking the Collections Manager, I guess it is not even on the lowest place on the priorities list. Quote:

Obfuscating variables and private methods is one thing, but also going for protected and public methods and class names is crazy.
From what I've seen so far I'm really surprised that they don't brick their own devices by doing such things. This leads to the almost unbelievable conclusion that Amazon (of course only in regards to their framework) has some good testing in place! |

Amazon, either get get your shit together and implement a way to manage the Kindle collections properly or stop obfuscating code for the people who actually care enough to reverse engineer the device only to provide the end-users with functionality that should have already been there . |

But yes, this seems to mean that every single new update is now bound to break all existing (Java) hacks again, and they all have to be "figured out" again for every new update. Thank you very much, Amazon. |

I have no clue about Java bytecode, but wouldn't it theoretically be possible to create "byte mask patterns" that find the correct class/method name by scanning the Java bytecode for certain OP codes that stay the same (i.e. functionality) and from there automate the class/method updating? Provided that the functionality doesn't also change with each update...

After reading thru 10 pages, I still don't know what this jailbreak will do for me if I install it. I saw in the beginning that it does not remove ads. So what does it actually do? Thanx

@az99: If you don't know why you would want it, then don't install it.
