Or maybe not. Hey, if you're real tough you could just arrange to meet them and beat them for stealing your kindle in the first place and then take your kinldle and ROB THEM because you are a tough guy who is freaking out over fourty one bucks so you could use the money, but then I'm gusssing you're not that tough if somebody stole your KINDLE. Maybe if they stole your motorcycle or your pet cobra but face it man, they stole your frigging KINDLE. Also, and this is another stretch, If you have a KINDLE you are probably not too worried about fourty bucks. I'm just sayin' |

More screensavers, Jacksonunit!
Thank you so much! I've downloaded the Declaration of Independence and BadBarn from your group. Just great. Here's some encouragement to create some more!

Small problem. I would like to delete the Kindle default screensavers and just use the bookplate one I created.
However, the system folder is simply not showing up. This is true even though I have "show hidden files and folders" selected (that's by default for all of my files and folders on my entire computer). I've tried turning that option off and on ... doesn't seem to make any difference. I'm starting to think that I might need to access it some other way .... Help??? |

You can't really delete them but you override them with your own screensaver pics. You'll always be able to go back to the default images if you need/want to.
Go back to post #7 for instructions on how to add your own images. |

Also ... I added one screensaver by accident (it was my bookplate graphic, but I didn't notice that the full screen view was not on ... so it's got the battery image and such on it ... which I don't want) and I can't seem to get rid of that one. No matter what I do. Argh. |

Okay, I just did a little experiment because I had some of my personal screensaver images with the little on battery on them as well. I do not have any of my folders hidden and I don't see one called "system".
I opened the folder that contained the original images I used for my screensavers and deleted both of the screensaver.manga files. Then I re-saved everything from scratch (17 images). If there is a way to remove just one or two, I haven't been able to figure out how to do it. Sorry. |

Well ... for me that did not work so well. Although I deleted the manga, and resaved the picture properly as a screensaver ... the dreaded rouge screensaver with stupid battery image still kept popping up.
So, I figued it must have been saved to the system ... but I can't get in the system to see. I wonder if they plugged that hole recently?? Don't they realize I'll just find another way to hack into it?? |

Did you delete both the screensaver.manga and screensaver.manga_save files then do the Alt + Z thing (step 6) to start from scratch?

I just wanted to pipe in and say that I realized how the Kindle 'screensaver' is superior to a blank screen. It makes it still look like a book! Even when you are not reading a book, something is still on the page. I think it's Amazon's way of making it look more aesthetically pleasing than a blank page.

Found the system folder for Kindle
I finally found the hidden system file for my Kindle. Even though I always have "show hidden files and folders" checked, I had neglected to remove the check box from "hide protected system operating files". Once I unchecked that, the folder was visible.
Here's what's inside. |
