so, how to 'uninstall' this hack and revert back to stock screensavers if i want? is it simply a matter of deleting the custom images from the linkss/screensavers folder?
thanks devs! |

Hi all.
I have this weird problem. The "cover" hack is acting weird. It shows the cover of the last book, but it doesn't update if I change a book until I connect my Kindle to USB again. In practice I disconnect my Kindle from USB and the cover showed as screensaver is fine. But if I change a book, the cover remains the same of the old book. If then I connect the Kindle to USB and unplug it, it updates it. I don't think it's intended to work in that way, no? UPDATE: Nevermind. It works, but only after about 30 seconds that I'm on a book. Maybe it's made on purpose. Last edited by albyok; 01-02-2013 at 09:04 AM. |

Hi
Have hacked my paperwhite, installed my wallpapers which work fine, but I would like them to display randomly, I have added an empty folder called random in Linkss folder as stated and restarted my kindle (more than once, it took three goes to see my wallpapers) but they still show in the order that they are numbered, any ideas? Thanks in anticipation |

Because you did not read the first post in its entirety.

Can someone clarify this for me? Just the .bin files are needed to be sent to the Kindle? What about the build and src folders in the zip?
I'd like to use the cover feature so if I am reading this correctly, first upload the update_python_0.2.N_install.bin and update. Then, upload the update_linkss_0.6.N_install.bin and update. Then I have to throw in a blank filed called 'cover' into the linkss folder. Does that sound right? |

What can I do? Was it right to put the blank file(s) to %kindle%/linkss and not to %kindle%/linkss/screensavers? //EDIT After installing some other hacks and multiple restarts it works now. Thanks Last edited by weatherje; 01-04-2013 at 09:05 PM. Reason: Works now |

As for the build and src folder: No they are not needed for it to work. They are just there as a "nice to have" feature. It is basically just a recipe to make your own - or for the curious to see: How did he do that? The src is the "ingredients" and the build is the instructions on turning src into a bin file. If you want, you could modify the source code and create your very own bin file. For example if you don't like the name "cover" and you want to call it "picture" instead, you can do that. |

Hope the 450X680 covers fit nicely into the screen. The blank file called 'cover', it can just be a text document? Without the .doc extension of course. |

I followed the instructions, I have a jail broken Paperwhite, I put the screensavers in the right folder in png format, and the right size, I restart, and when I go to shut off my kindle, the factory screensavers show. What could I have done wrong?
