Screensaver hack not applying new screensaver
I have a kindle PW2 that I have jailbroken (It is running 5.12.2.2 firmware). I have Kual and the helped (and MR packages) installed. I tried to install the screensaver hack by placing the pw2 bin for it and the python package in the mrpackages folder. They installed and I rebooted my kindle but the new screensaver does not apply. I have restarted the framework, made it cycle through random images, but the kindle keeps showing the "Your next great read is waiting" image. Anyone know what else I can try?

Configure the screensaver hack using KUAL?
 And also be aware that SS hack doesn't work on Kindle with "special offers" / ads. |

And that indeed sounds like a Special Offers screensaver

You should try reaching out to customer tech support and request them to disable ads or promotion if they do it for free very well.
Else move to KO Reader permanently �� |
