I wonder if we need a more detailed guide on how to install it. Lots of people still struggling with getting it to work.
I nominate you Kevin... you can write as many 1-line instruction posts as it takes!  |

Are you sure you used the hack file for DX? Three files to choose: K, Ki or DX. This seems to be one of the most common errors.

Got my K2 yesterday and after I banged my head because I didn't follow the instructions - tried to open the .bin file instead of copying it - it worked like a charm! Hated the stock savers but really like a bunch of the ones on these boards.
You folks are the absolute BEST!

Make sure you are using the correct hack file for your Kindle. If your Kindle was purchased before October or so, you need the K2 file, if it's newer than that you probably have a K2i. Once you know you have the right file, then unzip it and place the .bin file in your Kindle's root directory.

If I have an International DX will the standard DX screensave hack work?
The reason I ask is because I see that there is a different hack depending if you have a K2 or a K2i and maybe the same applies to the DX. Hopefully this is not a stupid question but I haven't seen it asked or answered anywhere else.

You can try it, but I doubt it will work. I'm sure there will be an updated DXi hack available soon though. Depending on how adventurous you are, you might want to try the K2i hack on your DXi... the firmware is probably not that different between the 2 models.

I think I'll wait. I'm not adventurous enough to risk bricking my Kindle, I've only had it for 6 days. Can an incorrect version of a hack brick a Kindle?

Usually if you don't have the correct version, what happens is just that the "update" option in the menu is greyed out and inaccessible. As jason says, I expect there will be an appropriate hack before too long. . . .

Thanks...it's now included in the screensavers Zip file on my Kindle Hacks page (can be uncompressed by any "Zip" program -- should not need any special software on Windows). |

Woo hoo! I love being able to customize the wallpapers. I'd been avoiding the hack for a while out of worry of breaking something, but it was way too easy! So many gorgeous pictures to choose from.

Now that you've been so brave, go up a few posts to the Kindle Hacks link and try a new font. You'll be amazed at how much nicer each page of text can look! I used Georgia 2.
