I couldn't find any post talking about this so I decided to do some digging and found a way to have custom bootscreens. (Pretty sure it works on every kindle released as long as its jailbroken)
WARNING: This involves doing things in root (/) so only do this if you know what you are doing and are not afraid of bricking your device. ![]() Anyways heres how to do it: First make sure your kindle is jailbroken and has USBNetwork installed. Then ssh into / or run "cd /" on your kindle like you would normally do with the extension. Now make sure you have sftp installed and mount your kindle on. Now head to /usr/share/blanket/* (The * represents all folders) All the folders you see in that directory are self-explanatory, download whatever default boot screen you want. Change it in your desired image editor and then upload it back with the SAME filename. Optional: Backup the default/original boot screens for future reference or if you want to revert it to normal. Hope you enjoy!! I found this interesting to me so hopefully it is the same to you guys. ![]() Last edited by H644b; 06-19-2024 at 11:50 AM. Reason: Typo pointed out by #2 |

Oops sorry.
Also make sure to use "mntroot rw" to enable read and write access to edit those files. This is a big risk if you keep it on so after you are done copying the images, run mntroot r Last edited by H644b; 06-19-2024 at 09:36 AM. |
