My Thoughts On Stunt's Wallpaper Fix

Hey guys I don't think it's fair to get on Stunt about his script. Just like any script on the forum you take a chance of bricking your Kindle. The guys that provide these scripts for us take a chance with their own Kindles in order to even make their scripts available. They advise you when using their scripts that you are doing so at your own risk.

I was one who had a bricked Kindle after using the script, but I was always able to restore it with backups, etc. Yes, it was frustrating, but what made the experience okay for me is that there were other members that did not experience bricking on their device. So, I knew the script worked, it had to be something I was doing or even the software I had on my Kindle. The experience wasn't bad because Stunt hung in there with me until he figured out why I was having problems with the script.

In fact, to make anything better it's always about trial and error. You have to have someone with a bricked device to report their findings to the coder so they can modify the script to make it work under most circumstances.

I really appreciate people like Stunt, Hashcode, and others because they do this without compensation for the countless of hours they pour into these free scripts to help those of us who are not coders or hackers to enjoy our tablets.

What's important is to take heed to their advice and back up your tablet so it won't be a devastating experience if you need to restore it. It is your responsibility to take precautions so you are not holding a brick after one of these scripts don't work the way it is designed. I knew I would brick my device, but before I started using the scripts, I purchased a fastboot cable to have on hand. That has been a life saver. If you are going to root your Kindle or use any script on the forum, you need to purchase one of those cables either here or on Amazon.

These are some good guys, talented and committed to helping us Kindle owners be able to enjoy our devices. They pour a lot of time and effort into these scripts. So, instead of insulting them or criticizing their work use their script, note what happens to your device when using it and report back to them. This helps them to make a better script for everyone.

The script works, but you have to take some precautions to limit the time you may have to spend restoring your Kindle in case it doesn't work. You use these scripts at your own risk. Instead of criticizing, encourage Stunt by reporting any errors in the script or what happened during the script that bricked your device. That's the only way to make the script better where it will work for anyone using it.

The script works. My Kindle Fire HD 7 is displaying beautiful live wallpapers because of Stunt's script and because we communicated about the difficulties I was having with the script (In fact, I'm considering restoring my Kindle HD 7 back to square one to assist with his new script).

Stunt provided suggestions and even went back to the drawing board to make the script better so others wouldn't have the same problem I was having (memory issue). That in my opinion shows commitment and integrity. Stunt could have done nothing, but he kept working to modify the script so it would work better for anyone wanting to use it.

In my book, that calls for KUDOs to Stunt, not criticism. The script works.
