Customize Your Phone

Jan 11

Welcome to the guide ! We Now Make you phone Shine and Stand out in the crowd ! **Guide Version 1.0**
——————————————————————————————————————————
>>Tools Needed ! Download from here
1) XS++ v 3.1
2) SEUS : Sony Ericsson Update Service
3) Computer with Win XP !

>>Cool stuff needed !
1) Flash Menus (Lots of them)
2) Flash Wallpapers
3) More Walkman Skins
4) Acoustics
5) Camera Drivers
6) More Walkman Visualizations

——————————————————————————————————————————

1. Download XS++ v 3.1 !! Backup Your GDFS And Also INSTAL USB FLASH DRIVERS !! Read Here

2. Connecting phone to XS++

Shutdown phone . Reinsert Battery. (don’t start phone)
Then Click on Connect in XS++ and holding C button on your phone connect your phone to Computer to USB cable and don’t leave C button until XS++ detects your phone and requests you to leave C button.
On the Left Side of the XS++ it gives details of your phone. Read it !
EROM CID 52 are must ! or else stop right here !

This is the general way of connecting phone to XS++ every time you connect phone to XS++ this is how you have to connect !

3. Folder Creating Instructions and My Terminology !

If i say upload files to location own_custpack/tpa/preset/system/desktop/flash/
then u must create a folders like this

1. create “own_custpack” folder in the XS++.exe directory.
2. open “own_custpack” folder and create “tpa” folder.
3. open “tpa” folder and create “preset” folder.
4. open “preset” folder and create “system” folder.
5. open “system” folder and create “desktop” folder.
6. open “desktop” folder and create flash folder.
7. open “flash” folder and paste all .swf files you want.
8. then flash using xs++

You can also upload files using FAR MANAGER !! Follow here !!!

4. Using XS++ !

We use XS++ to upload files to phone’s File System

Shutdown phone, in XS++ Click Connect phone, Reinsert battry, holding C connect phone. Then in XS++ Main window Check customize file system option and in select phone model option you must choose own_custpack

Then when you press flash button, XS++ uploads the contents of own_custpack folder to the phone’s file system.

You can also use FSX Method to Upload files to phone FS instead of own_custpack method

——————————————————————————————————————————
5. Flash Menus

Download Flash Menus From My Site Download Area and also Se-nse Download Area
You can also download Flash Menus From Topse Download Area

Working of Flash Menus
Flash Menu have to parts. A Theme file .thm and a Flash File .swf
The flash .swf file must be uploaded to the phone’s file system and then theme .thm file must be copied to the phone’s Memory Card.
Ever Flash Menu must have a matching theme to use with. Or Else we will need to pair a .swf file and a .thm file to use them. Download the guide to couple flash menus.

After downloading flash menu copy the .swf files to flash folder
own_custpack
/tpa/preset/system/desktop/flash/*** .swf files her***
and upload using own_custpack

Later Copy .thm files to M2 card !
Remember u must flash only the .swf files !

many 176×220 flash menu Click here

Flash Menu 240×320 ( for w580i w880 etc )
——————————————————————————————————————————
6. Walkman 2 skins ( Click here to check out )

upload skin folder to this location in phone’s FS
own_custpack
\TPA\SYSTEM\MULTIMEDIA\MP\SKIN\**skin folder here**
if skins are already placed then just flash

NOTE : Walkman 2 Skins Only for W Series phones ! k790/800/810 use Walkman 1 Skins !!

Again here you must use skins according to phone resolution !!

Download skins from Topse Russia or Se-nse Download Area or From My Website.

——————————————————————————————————————————
7. Flash Wallpapers

Just download and copy them to Memory Card as usual as u copy music to M2 Card
U can set them as wallpapers as u set pictures as wallpapers. And if your phone supports flash wallpapers then you can set them as wallpaper. You can download many from Topse Russia ! ——————————————————————————————————————————
8. Acoustics

    If i’m am using Far Manager, do i just create a folder in tpa/system called desktop/flash if i want flash menus? I’m using a k550i upgraded to the lastest seus version. I never flashed it before.

    Hi, been searching everywhere for a solution, maybe you can help me?
    How do you access FS on a K770 with Erom Color Brown?
    I just want to update the camdriver.
    Tried with Far and XS++ 3.1, but no luck so far.
    I think maybe the problem is the Erom color, or?

    Ante .. sorry no solution for brown CID52 phones.

  19. Ante
    Jan 31 at 16:33

    Probaly it doesn´t matter, but what I understand the phone is brown CID49,or?
    Maybe the same “protection” as CID52,I don´t know.
    Guess I just have to wait until it´s a solution for this prob´out there somewhere, or buy another phone.

    Cheers!

    Hi Akshay, thanks for creating your own site, I followed your Thinkdigit tutorial to flash my K550i to W610i and its working fine. However there is one thing I am not able to do….i.e. getting Flash Menus.
    I have put the Flash files in the required place using XS++, and after that I took the respective .thm file and have put it in Theme folder of my phone mem card. But when I set the theme to the just copied .thm file it does not show the flash Menu but the normal theme. Am I doing anything wrong? The Flash wallpaper are working great. Only thing is the flash menus

    Feb 07 at 10:31

    Thanks Akshay for the quick reply, however I checked the theme.xml file and saw that it corresponds to correct swf file as I took the corresponding .thm file for eg I have put the file test.swf using XS++, then took the test.thm file and kept it in the theme folder of the M2 card. I have also checked in test.thm’s theme.xml file if it is pointing to theme.swf or not. What I am getting is the normal test.thm theme and not from the flash swf file.
    Hope I can send you the snapshot.

  23. Akshay
    Feb 07 at 11:06

    hmm then it should work unless you put the SWF in wrong place..!

  36. josephcs89
    Feb 15 at 13:12

    DB2010 is compatible with FAR…

    Just paste (drag-drop) ONLY the SWF file to the folder in your phone
    tpa/preset/system/desktop/flash

    and then put the theme in to your Phone or card…

  41. Akshay
    Feb 15 at 16:16

    Mark, go to the appropriate folder using XS,FAR,SETOOL

    tpa\system\multimedia\mp\skin\

    and safely remove the (image) files you have uploaded…

    when u said u need erom cid52 why is this

    Feb 24 at 03:12

    Hi Akshay,

    is it possible for me to upload cam, acoustics , display drivers and swf files without changing my K800i firmware which is r1kg001 ? any side effects? pros and cons if i dont update the firmware to the k810i?

  49. Akshay
    Feb 24 at 05:08

    sorry … CID59 also works !! but not 51 .. works for 52 also
    this tutorial kind of sucks and is outdated will have to update it .. or delete this whole mess !

  50. Mark
    Feb 27 at 00:46

    Modding an amping your acoustic drivers for better sound quality is great an its really worth it because my phone sounds alot louder which I like,but I’d like to know if this could be potentially damaging to the phone in the long term,like I mean could playing music at a higher decibel rate than the built in speaker was originally able to handle damage it?

  51. pratik
    Feb 27 at 09:23

    ^^^
    nope. it wont danage ur speaker.
    only the battery drain will be more

    Akshayy thanks to you I have my k550im transformed in a free k550i! Now I want to upload some nice acoustic and camera drivers. Which is the best way using XS++3.1? I mean, I have to use the FSX option or the easier “own_custom” flashing method? Which camera drivers do you suggest for my phone? Thanks for all your wonderful work!!

  54. Peti
    Mar 01 at 16:20

    I prefer using FSX in XS++, but uploading an acoustic pack with FSX takes eternity, so use FAR Manager.

  55. Belthur
    Mar 01 at 16:22

    I have a w800i@k750i Red CID49…Can I use this post to customize camera,audio and display drivers ? This post says this is for CID52…

  56. Peti
    Mar 01 at 16:33

    You have a W800 flashed to K750?! What you wrote means that. You can use XS++ FSX to upload the files, it is ok, but the files provided here are for other, newer phones, so use google instead, or sek750.extra.hu.

  57. Camelia
    Mar 06 at 07:15

    I totally lost here, can u teach easier way of having
    flash theme on my k770

  58. Akshay
    Mar 06 at 12:02

    sure .. follow this !
    see the video !

    http://www.akshayy.com/sonyericsson/tutorials/xs-fsx-tutorial/

    in video uplaod flash menus
    i don’t think your phone supports flash menus
    if it does then you must already have some working flash menus !

  59. Neil
    Mar 08 at 18:20

    I want to say thank you to you Akshay, I have just successfully flashed my K550i to W610i and i am very pleased with the results, this wouldnt have been possible if i had not read your excellent tutorial, so thanks again dude…keep up the excellent work :)

    Hey, I want to change my w810i acoustics since my phone acoustics are not good. My phone software version is R4EA031. I want good sound acoustics and I have downloaded from u r site. I need a small clarification you have told in tutorial that u can use xs++ only for cid 52 phones in the tutorial. My phone is not cid 52 can i upload the acoustics using File explorer? Does this harm my phone?

    CID51 is unstable for flashing, and its not safe for safety reasons
    you can update it to CID52 easily with SE update service ..

    Thanks for the quick reply. I have one more doubt in the XS++ after clicking “connect” my phone details will be listed on left side. Now suppose I do not want to enter into FSX or flash…… Shall I disconnect the USB cable directly from the PC or is there any process to shut down. I am not making any changes by entering into the FSX or Flash.

  63. Peti
    Mar 11 at 06:20

    If you just want to see the details, click Connect, then Settings at the bottom, and then Disconnect.

  64. kalyan
    Mar 11 at 08:11

    I have tried clicking connect using XS++ and i got “error opening communication port” please unplug the cable. I think this is because I haven’t updated my phone using SEUS. Is that correct?

  65. Peti
    Mar 11 at 12:14

    That probably means, that you have some problems with the flashing drivers, use an administrator account, and follow http://www.akshayy.com/sonyericsson/tutorials/installing-usb-flash-drivers/
    This should help, otherwise, the problem must be with the phone itself.

  66. kalyan
    Mar 11 at 12:17

    I ran SEUS also and during the download of the software it hangs at 49%. I disconnected the phone. Thank god my phone works.

  67. kalyan
    Mar 11 at 14:41

    Hey dude, thanks a lot now my phone is detecting after installing the flash drivers. Now all i need is superb sound acoustics for my phone. Plz provide me the acoustics for DB2010 and EROM color:red and EROM CID is 49. Thanks a lot for u r help. You guys rock. Keep up the good work.

  68. kalyan
    Mar 11 at 14:47

    By the way my phone is w810i. Please do not say we cannot upload acoustics for cid 49. I want my phone to play rocking music.

  69. Akshay
    Mar 11 at 15:17

    yes you can for db2010 CID49

    but db2020 CID49 is unusual !
    you can go ahead with acoustics .. use apf not zapf !

  70. kalyan
    Mar 11 at 15:32

    But where can i find apf acoustics, please help me na. In your website they are only zapf acoustics available. I have searched in topsony forums and Se-nse they are tosharas mega acoustics available but iam unable to download from that website. Moreover I have read in forums that if you use tosharas acoustics u cannot play amr files in speaker. Is that true.

  71. kalyan
    Mar 11 at 19:07

    Hey, I got the acoustics of toshara 1.6 now should i delete the original acoustics and upload this one (OR) should i upload the new acoustics on the existing ones?

  72. Peti
    Mar 11 at 19:33

    Just upload, it will overwrite the files that exist. Also if the pack you acquired does not contain a file, the phone will have the original to work with.

  73. kalyan
    Mar 12 at 08:18

    Hey, I have uploaded the acoustics now sound is booming and bass awesome. Thanks a lot for helping me. I am so happy now my sound has boosted.

  74. kalyan

  76. Peti
    Mar 13 at 06:29

    It is tpa/system/layout, but be careful with it, use only the righ file for the phone, also try to create a backus before doing it. ;)

    My friend has k800. Is it possible to put superb acoustics in his mobile? It is db2020 and yet to see the CID version.

  78. Peti
    Mar 13 at 19:36

    Superb acousctics– I always use W880 on DB2020 phones, so I suggest using that. http://www.esnips.com/doc/60fc56ef-39a5-4e87-a402-48592f0008ba/ZAPF_Acoustic_W880
    It is both louder and better in quality. Use it. ;)
    (I have used it on a K800, working…)

  79. kalyan
    Mar 14 at 08:18

    Thank you. But in k series it doesnt have megabass option. Does the option come when u upload the acoustics (OR) does it overwrite existing bass to megabass?

  80. Peti
    Mar 14 at 13:58

    No, to have Megabass on such phones, you need to apply some vkp patch on the main firmware to replace the original bass with Megabass. Acoustics don’t change bass (equalizer) settings.

  81. kalyan
    Mar 14 at 14:32

    Okay, without the megabass option does the sound boost compared to original? Even if i dont get the megabass option does the sound come equivalent to megabass?

  82. Peti
    Mar 14 at 14:40

    I doubt that, Megabass it an equalizer setting, it tweaks audio channels, boost low frequency and things, so it has got not too much to do with W880 acoustics. But new acoustics makes your phone louder for sure. Also try this: http://www.akshayy.com/sonyericsson/patching/megabass-for-all-se-db2020-phones/

    hey peti can i custom my cell phone with walkman skin2? or walkman skin1? i flashed s500i to w580i! can i?

    thanks regards!

  92. Peti
    Mar 20 at 22:57

    Yes. W580 has Walkman 2.0 on it and it has a 240×320 px display. So you need FAR Manager and Walkman 2.0 skins with the resolution of 240×320.
    Read FAR Manager tutorial, and then download:
    http://seflashing.4shared.com/account/file/40133221/d4c0c6e/Walkman_2_Skins_240×320.html
    Upload skins to:

    well i tried with far manager i was not sure was to do at this step where i have to select Take DCU-60 in Device, 921600 in Speed and Your’s CID in Boot script. and choose db2020 CID 52. IF Your phone is CID51 and DB2020 then choose db2020_51 or if its CID49 or then db2020_49.

    wat ever was shown in pic i tried that….i went in gud i was in tpa files and went in walkman skin 2 file but after that i click on the skin i went in the skin then wat……………please help….
    (i have flashed s500i to w580i)

  96. Peti
    Mar 21 at 00:01

    You navigate in TPA\SYSTEM\MULTIMEDIA\MP\SKIN\ directory on the left panel & you copy a skin from the right panel. (So of course you have to extract that rar file you downloaded. A skin is a directory with a few files in it: BrowseView_Background.png, FF_Icon.png, Play_Icon.png, PlayNow_Background.png, PlayView_Background.png, Rewind_Icon.png, Skin.XML, Stop_Icon.png. So you have to copy directories like this over to the left panel. So select the directory and press F5, it will show a dialog, then hit Enter. On the left panel, the directory will appear. This has to be done with all skins.)

    Hey, my w810i is switching off frequently. why is it so? Phone is from germany and locked to O2. It has been flashed twice and problem persists. I haven’t dropped mobile anywhere. Any idea why is this happening?

  98. Peti
    Mar 22 at 21:08

    Battery failure maybe? And you should try using it purely, with no patches and all, just Main, FS & custpack on it. (if it is possible…)

Please tell me how 2 get back 2 my original acoustics so that i can get all the acoustic files and all my sound functions work like before.
    Thanx in advance

  100. Peti
    Mar 24 at 11:35

    Try to upload W880 acoustics, probably they will fix it. If not, then extract the FS of your phone, and upload the files from there. (You can find all tutorials you may need right here.)

  101. kalyan
    Apr 01 at 07:40

    I have w700i acoustics can I upload those to w810i and those files are apf. My phone is db2010. Shall I go ahead?

  102. Peti
    Apr 01 at 12:22

    Yes, it should work all right. (Though you better make backups before doing anything. ;) )

  105. Peti

    What does software and backup mean here? Like you have some files from the FS and you want to clear FS?? Go ahead and restore the backup files. But I don’t get how you want to clear anything!!

    but ive downloaded seus, but it wont start
    becouse i dont have compatible flash player
    but i have the latest adobe flash player!!
    ive downloaded it from the official site
    why??

    but with far everything is working great

  107. kalyan
    Apr 03 at 11:13

    Before changing the acoustics of my mobile I have took a back up of my mobile.You have suggested me that to use the mobile purely without applying patches to main, FS etc since my mobile switches off frequently even after flashing it twice. Now the question is shall i go ahead and put original acoustics through FSX or should I restore the back up which I have taken?

  108. Peti
    Apr 03 at 17:34

    If your phone is still switching off frequently, do a full reflash and don’t bother with backup files. I don’t think that acoustics have anything to do with that problem, it is just in the main firmware, I think, so you should use the acoustics you like best. What is the difference between “original” and “backup” here?

    @ alibi89: your comment was identified as spam. :S
    Don’t use SEUS, it will update all CID 52 phones to CID 53, and that is not yet supported by XS++, SeTool2, FAR Manager (SEFP), JDFlasher, all flashing tools. What you need to use SEUS is http://seflashing.extra.hu/?mode=dlSoft&name=install_flash_player_active_x.msi by the way, but I wouldn’t if I were you. ;)

    Does the phone have to be debranded in order to put flash menus? How can i put flash menus using Far Manager?

  113. Peti
    Apr 05 at 17:07

    In most of the cases it isn’t necessary, though the provider/reseller can lock the phone not to have flash menus.
    Upload the swf files to tpa/preset/system/desktop/flash directory.

  114. Luv
    Apr 05 at 19:15

    Should i use Far manager or XS++ to upload the flash menu?

  115. Peti
    Apr 05 at 19:28

    I say FAR Manager because that way you can upload multiple files faster. But it doesn’t matter.

  116. Luv
    Apr 05 at 19:29

    Ok, so i uploaded the .swf file onto the flash directory using far manager, then i put the theme for that .swf file on my phones memory card and set the theme. When the theme was set the only thing i saw was the theme itself, there was no flash menu. HELP!!?

  117. Peti
    Apr 05 at 19:43

    Does your phone have flash lite in it? Try uploading an swf file to the memory card and open it with the phone’s file manager. It should have a Macromedia F icon, grey orb, and you could open it with the file manager. BUT if you can’t then you don’t have flash support, hence no flash menus at all.

  118. Luv
    Apr 05 at 20:11

    The icon is not Macromedia F but when i open it, it shows me the flash menu and i could move around and view the catagories but cant access the catagories when i press select. Does that mean i dont have flash lite? If so how can i put it into my phone?

  119. Luv
    Apr 05 at 20:13

    Never mind, i do see an F inside a gray orbit. But then why isnt it working, can you please list the steps on how to put this flash menu onto my phone w580i. Its not debranded so maybe thats why? Or is it fine for it to be branded?

  120. Peti
    Apr 05 at 20:21

    Can you start the swf file? In file manager, you press the left button, does it start?

  121. Luv
    Apr 05 at 20:22

    Yes it does start, and i could move around too

  122. Peti
    Apr 05 at 20:25

    Ooops. If you can start the swf like that, it means you do have Flash Lite. Maybe the thm you use doesn’t use flash menu? Try these:
    http://seflashing.extra.hu/?mode=dlPimp&category=flashmenus&name=Flash%20menus%20176×220.zip&show=fileinfo

  123. Luv
    Apr 05 at 20:28

    The .swf should be just one file right? What i did was that i connected the phone to XS++. Then i clicked on start FSX and went to tpa/preset/system/desktop/flashdirectory and then i just uploaded the one .swf file. After that i clicked on shut down and turned my phone back on. Then i put the theme that came with the .swf file onto my memory card and then i unplugged the phone. i started the phone and set the new theme. I did not see a flash menu but all i saw was the theme itself. Setting the theme should automatically start the flash menu right?

  124. Luv
    Apr 05 at 20:31

    Oh ok, i understand you. Let me try it once more with the link you just gave me. So i just upload the .swf file to the flash directory, and then upload the theme to the memory card. Then set the theme and it should automatically start the flash menu?

  125. Peti
    Apr 05 at 20:35

    Yes, as soon as the theme is set. W580 has Flash menu support, so if it still isn’t working, you will have to debrand it. :P

  126. Luv
    Apr 05 at 20:41

    The .swf title should be the same as the theme title right?

  127. Luv
    Apr 05 at 20:46

    Nope, it didnt work. i chose the iphone.swf and iphone.thm. All that happened was that there was no wallpaper and so it was all black. Please help me. Why isnt it working? Maybe im doing it wrong. May you please list the steps in your own words beucase the tutorials get confusing at times. I would REALLY appreciate if you did this. Thanks

  128. Peti
    Apr 05 at 20:48

    Not exactly. Thm files are renamed TAR archives. In them there is a Theme.xml file. In that xml there is a line like . That defines the swf file’s name. ;)

  129. Peti
    Apr 05 at 20:55

    I don’t know if W580 has flash menus or not. But the way you did, just uploading swf to that dir and thm to any dir is ok. So it isn’t working it might just be impossible. But it’s worth trying debranding it. :P

  130. Luv
    Apr 05 at 21:03

    Well i have the sony ericsson theme creator and so all the themes have a paint tray icon. Maybe that is a reason its not working. I dont know, its just a random guess. Anyways I would just upload the .swf so for example if i upload the iphone.swf file then what theme should i put with it?

  131. Luv

    hi, I have had no problem flashing/debranding/backing up GDFS etc. with my phone before and I wanted to add different accoustics to my phone, which is a k810. When I connected to XS+ to back up my GDFS it detected the phone name and said ready for operation, but it also said that my phone was CID53. So when I pressed backup GDFS it said ’sorry your phone is not supported’ . How do I get my phone to be CID52 again? why has it changed as I had never had problems before?

  137. Akshay
    Apr 15 at 16:57

    Sorry NO CID53 support … XS++ does not work with it
    There is JD Flasher… which has just now added support for CID53
    we will soon come up with a tutorial for that
    regards

    sorry to say that .. but yes
    but you can use JD Flasher with this..
    i will write a tutorial.

    i just have confusion about correct loaders.
    with jdflahser you can change acoustics, cam drivers, etc. and all stuff applicable to k810
    but no patching and unlocking it.
    because jd flasher does not support cid53 patching
    it requires a lot of research to implement it.
    patching is available only for CID52

  146. Hetty McCarthy
    Apr 18 at 12:43

  151. Peti
    Apr 21 at 16:13

    As far as I know, it is not possible. Try uploading any swf file to the phone. It won’t start it, K790 doesn’t have flash lite in it. Though many have requested such a patch, so it may be possible later.

  152. Azhar Umar - SE k790i
    Apr 21 at 16:21

    ive got a few doubts!
    what is unlocking?
    is it necessary to unlock my new k790i before i do ur stuff on that???like…new acoustics, new drivers etc.
    if i change these things on my k790i…are they reversible by re-installing the original firmware?

    I WANT TO KNOW THAT WHETHER FLASHING N PATCHING IS POSSIBLE OR NOT WITH THIS PHONE?

    1. Why the f*ck are you using capitar letters?!
    2. Connect it to XS++, holding C button, it will provide the necessary info about CID number.
    3. Both are possible, thogh I don’t know where you’ll find patches for it, at least FW is at http://www.topse.ru/files/cat162.html .
    4. Your phone is NOT CID. CID is the “version number” of the phone’s protection, all phones have it.

    Lol @ Peti he is angry with capital letter user :D

    A question for k770i users: does anyone still can use FaceWarp application after applying new cam driver? Because I can’t :(

  164. Li Syaoran
    May 02 at 14:48

    Got the answer. Modded cam driver do not support FaceWarp (maybe not all). I upload the original cam driver and it works fine again. But I rarely use FaceWarp so I think I won’t need original cam driver :P

  165. Peti
    May 03 at 10:33

    Can’t FaceWarp use pictures from Memory Stcik? If so, you can take the pictures with the camera, and load them in FaceWarp.

    when you upload the acoustic you want, do you need to delete the existing ones?

  170. Peti
    May 08 at 09:18

    You don’t have to, they are overwritten. Besides Xaero_ma doesn’t have all files, so it works together with original acoustics.

  176. Akshay
    May 16 at 05:35

    well we will try to provide service manuals.. you can use them.

  177. Peti
    May 16 at 13:59

    I have service manual for K550, and I can get for a lot of phones, but not for W610. :S
    We should provide them on SeFlashing.extra.hu!!

  178. Smiley989

    is there any way that i can make my w610 r6bc002 into a w610 r8ba024?

  179. Smiley989
    May 16 at 20:24

    it seems all the good patches are for r8ba024

  180. Peti
    May 16 at 23:02

    Not exactly, you might be looking the wrong place. R6BC002 seemed more hackable, easier to modify. Also elves only run on w610 r6.
    You can change it to r8 though, download the reqiured main firmware, the FS and a CDA, then flash them on with XS++.

  181. dect
    May 21 at 16:38

    Akshay / Peti, can i use the super camera driver for my w660i phone, will it cause any problem? basically using the cam drivers that is not meant for my phone.

  182. Peti
    May 21 at 17:07

    AFAIK it makes the cam image black, but it won’t harm it. But if it is not listed as supported, and its fellow types (K530,V630) aren’t listed either, why mess with it? :D

    i could never get the flash themes 2 work =( k55o@w610
    -uploaded the swf to the flash folder using xs3.1
    -uploaded the thm to my theme folder in m2 using my computer xD
    -themes work but menu remains the same
    -is it because i changed my menu.ml not the one i got with ur tuturial but some random 1 from topse =) ???
    - but the original flash themes work though =(
    - i really like the alien equalizer one =( n the backstreet_rotary but i cant seem 2 get it working =(
    -help! =) xD

  184. flipboi
    May 22 at 05:15

    hi warrior,

    the theme might not be associated with the swf file. have you followed the tutorial of pairing a thm and swf file so that you would have a flash menu? if yes, the filename of the swf file might not be corresponding to the filename of the thm file.

  185. Akshay
    May 22 at 05:17

    warrrior dude.. its because the THEME Is not SET to use the flash menu.
    the theme that you use must be editing to make use of the SWF File.

    its called coupling.. you need to couple a THM With SWF then only they work.

  186. Akshay
    May 22 at 05:17

    That can be done with SeTheme Tools.

  187. Peti
    May 22 at 12:43

    That tool didn’t work for me when I tried, so I used Notepad++ & TC. :D

  188. warrior
    May 22 at 17:47

    yeah i read the coupling thing but i d get the thm files with the menues na ways oh well no wi have sumtin 2 do =) go tell ya if it work =D

  189. warrior
    May 22 at 18:17

    =O it was alwready coupled =(

    =(

  190. warrior

    well it had that line alwready =( i give up =(

  191. warriors
    May 22 at 19:17

    woi =) =) =) dont worry got it 2 work =D deleted all my flash files except the original ……then i couldnt acess my menu..beacause my theme was set to one of those =( xD….. so i placed back all my flash files wit the new ones n it worked xD thnx 4 help btw

  192. Peti
    May 22 at 19:25

    Never give up! If I could do it, then so can you!
    What I did was simple: had TC UP ( http://tcup.pl/ ) on my pc, with it, I opened the thm file (you can use WinRAR, too). Open a working coupled theme with that and see its Theme.xml. Search for “.swf”. It should take you to its wallpaper and to this: That’s it. :D

  193. dect
    May 26 at 16:31

    peti, i uploded the layout.xml i got from sek750 to my phone hoping to change the font size and now the layout is crazy. i’m thinking of getting the whole W660 FS and flash it to my phone. my firmware is R6AD001 (chinese) and the firmware on (sek750) is R8BB001. what do you think will happen? do i have to flash the firmware also?

    (i’ve tried the layout_original but still my phone’s layout is crazy)

    W660_R8BB001_FS_CENT_EUROPE_RED52.rar
    is that the main FS for W660?

  194. Peti
    May 27 at 05:29

    sek750? You mean the site or the phone type?
    Using other phone’s layout makes the phone go stupid, however, restoring the original for the phone fixes that. Also reflashing FS (and custpack) will help.
    It is better to use main and fs from the same version, also cent_europe doesn’t have chinese language in it…

  195. dect
    May 27 at 14:06

    sek750 (the site) i thought layout.xml is all the same. i can’t seem to find the original one. so can i just flash the main FS without flashing the main firmware?

    also can u explain to me the custpack method

  196. Peti
    May 27 at 16:05

    “just flash the main FS without flashing the main firmware”.. just flash fs and the custpack. Be careful, it deletes your contacts, settings, files from phone memory. The whole process is written in crossflashing, k550 to w610.

  197. dect
    May 28 at 09:41

    where can i download this custpack? can’t i just backup my phone contacts and files to MC and then just flash the FS?

  198. dect
    May 28 at 09:55

    I can’t seem to find this w660 custpack

  199. dect
    May 28 at 10:11

    so i see, after i flash the FS, i also need to flash own_custpack, if not there’s going to be a config error message. is it?

  200. Peti
    May 28 at 14:05

    Correctly. To backup contacts, use MyPhoneExplorer. To get a custpack, try my site, seflashing.extra.hu.

  201. dect
    May 29 at 07:18

    My phone’s is all okay now. even though i didn’t do it u’r way, your explanation really helps. thanks for the explanation though.
    thanks a lot dude.

  202. Smiley989
    May 30 at 14:59

    Ive changed everything on my w610i the font the menu the walkmin skin patches for battery, signal, and folders is there anything else that i can do?

    go to radio and in options select the option to turn on speaker.
    headset will go off and you get the sound output from the phone back speaker.

    You must apply a patch to do it. But it is useless, you rarely find radio stations then…

  215. Peti
    Jun 09 at 18:21

    There are such patches. To move flash menus, walkman skins, acoustics, camdriver to new directories in Other folder in the PHONE MEMORY, no memory stick can be used.
    Those patches are phone and fw dependent, so you’ll have to get your own from somewhere, I have them only for W610 R6BC002.

    Hi akshay

    I have been trying to fix this problem for two days without luck, so I’m asking for some help.

    I have a CID36 K750i phone, and it does not have any Camera driver installed, and I am unable to install it.
    When I open the camera shutter I see a black screen with some camera settings that quickly exits out, and when I select Camera in the phone menu the screen just flashes and nothing happens. I have opened up my phone multiple times and reconnected all the cables, so I don’t think the problem lies with a faulty Flex cable because opening the camera shutter triggers camera mode, it just doesn’t do anything since there is no camera driver installed…
    i installed w610i camera driver in my settings.
    now it shows

    Uploading file /ifs/settings/camera/camdriver0.dat
    Command: Error 0×03
    Done uploading

    wat to do plz help me

    Reflash FS and CDA, it will reinstall everything, cam driver too.

    Jun 21 at 19:54

    Hi, does the phone have to be debranded in order to customize it?

  224. Peti
    Jun 21 at 21:01

    Most likely not, but it is service provider dependent. Some of them restrict using flash menus just like that, so it is better to debrand first. Besides you get rid of all the trash they installed on your phone. ;)

  225. Luv
    Jun 21 at 21:13

    Ok thanks, once i debrand the phone is there a way i can rebrand it back to factory condition. My phone is a R7AC001 and CID RED52. I found this firmware and just wanted to make sure it was fine on the seusers website

  226. Peti
    Jun 21 at 22:40

    Well it is pretty complicated, but why not… You first apply the quick access patch on your main fw, you can use a different main too, so first flash that on, if necessary. Use JDFlasher to access the phone’s fs in qa2020 mode, that way you can download files. You need the customization files, form tpa/preset/custom, also branded stuff at tpa/user. Better download whole fs from phone.
    You can restore them I think when you rebrand. ;)

  227. Luv
    Jun 29 at 18:39

    When adding new drivers and acoustics do i replace the current ones already inside my phone?

  228. Peti
    Jun 29 at 20:50

    Your software, XS++ or FAR Maneger overwrites the old files.

  229. Luv
    Jun 30 at 00:10

    So when adding acoustics then do i upload each file seperately or just upload the folder

  230. Peti
    Jun 30 at 00:42

    I always use JDFlasher. On the left I open the place in the phone and on the right I open the dir on my pc. Then I press * and then F5 and wait till it copies over everything.

  231. Luv
    Jun 30 at 00:44

    Where can i find the latest camera driver for w580i? and how do i add it?

  232. Peti
    Jun 30 at 00:46

    You can find such stuff at se-nse and seusers, mainly. Upload to ifs/settings/camera/ as camdriver0.dat.

  233. Luv
    Jun 30 at 01:24

    And how can i tell if it actually successfully updated the driver? uder ifs/settings/camera i already have something labeled camdriver0.dat. Also when i went on se-nse they didnt have one for w580i. can i use some other phones driver on my w580i?

  234. Akshay
    Jun 30 at 04:35

    yeah only made for w580 drivers work.

    Hey i was looking up WTF light effect but have no clue on how to add them on my phone. i found this tutorial but doesnt make sense to me http://walkmans.files.wordpress.com/2008/04/lighteffectstutorial.png
    Can you help me on this

  236. Peti
    Jun 30 at 21:25

    Well that’s a very lame tutorial. Now use JDFlasher in bfs mode to download files from phone FS, from tpa/preset/system/lighteffect/contacteffects dir. You can use any of those effects for system effects. Like take Techno.ble, rename it to any of the filenames on the right side, like ALARM.BLE. Upload that to tpa/preset/system/lighteffect/systemeffects.

  237. Luv
    Jun 30 at 22:50

    Thanks Peti, appreciate it!!!! But like i saw some videos on youtube and how do they do all those kewl lighteffect on standby? What will changin techno.ble to ALARM.BLE do? will it change the lights of the alarm only?

  238. Peti
    Jul 01 at 00:11

    Yes, but ALARM was just an example, you can change all of those files.

  239. Luv
    Jul 01 at 00:28

    In the videos the lights flash, its like a wave, from right to left. how do they do that?

  240. Peti
    Jul 01 at 01:34

    I don’t know, that’s W580 and I have K550@W610. Can’t you set that effect for calls?:O

    Jul 01 at 02:54

    Yes, it shows in the video here is the link http://youtube.com/watch?v=eOJ30Fg0lSE&feature=related
    Do you think you can find out how i could do this?

  242. Peti
    Jul 01 at 10:23

    He used this: http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/9106/depeha/lighteffects/contacteffects.rar
    Repleaced all system effects with these, I suppose.
    If it won’t work, ask him for details.
