Can't seem to change screensaver

[CtrlValCanc]

Hi, I've installed the screensaver hack on my Kindle and created a custom image for it and everything works fine. When I put my Kindle to sleep, it correctly displays the image of my choice.

Then, in KOReader, I set the screensaver folder to linkss/screensavers, which is the same folder used by the screensaver hack and where my image is.
However, KOReader still shows its default sleep screensaver instead of the custom one.

I tried searching for a solution but couldn't find anything helpful. Any help?

Thank you very much.

Something wrong in the sleep screen settings: type or folder.
Can you show the settings?

Sorry, not sure what exactly I should show you, so let me know if you need something else.
Here the KoReader settings about screensaver (it says "screensaver folder: path")

Here the path of screensaver and details of the image (it's a PW2, so the resolution should be the right one)

Here the screensaver when I have KoReader open:

Here the screensaver when I am on Kindle OS (the custom one):

EDIT: sorry for the stinky kindle, i have to clean the edges from the dust and I'm afraid to ruin my kindle so still thinking on how to clean it

Thanks, that's it.
Can you put a couple of Kindle original pictures to linkss/screensavers and try.
They are at /usr/share/blanket/screensaver/.

You can do it in the KOReader file browser.

It looks like there is a soft link between /usr/share/blanket/screensaver/ and linkss/screensavers. I see the same file (my custom image), and if I rename one, the other one is renamed too? Might be because of ScreenSaver hack?

Maybe that's the reason of the issue? Try to put your picture to another folder.

I created a folder /koreader/screensavers from my pc and copy-pasted my bg_ss00.png. It still shows the default one.
The weird thing is that probably while renaming/copy pasting from KoReader I broke something as now the screensaver does not even show when on Kindle OS.

[hius07]

That's why I ask to try another file, to be sure that your settings are correct.

[CtrlValCanc]

Okay, I found the stock screensavers (they were in a backpu folder).
I disabled screensaver hack, I deleted my custom one, I put one of them in my /koreader/screensavers/bg_ss00.png, I restarted koreader but it still shows the default one on koreader.

Sorry, I've just noticed (non-English interface).
You showed screenshot folder setting, but you need sleep screen folder.

My bad for not having the device in English, really sorry. You're right, in English it says screenshot folder. Probably a bad translation as it says (translated) "Current Screen Saver Folder", maybe worth to report it?
Now it shows my custom image in folder with "sleeping" on it. (Is there a way to remove the sleeping on it? not a big deal, sorry)
In the debugging process I lost my backup screensaver folder, might go ask around if someone has it oof (also made screensaver hack stop working, but it's not relevant to our problem).
Thank you for your time.

[hius07]

Is there a way to remove the sleeping on it?

The Sleep screen message menu item, next to Wallpaper.

Yes, definitely.
