Flash Menus in walkman series install guide

[hard_rock]

Thanx man..Was confused about this!!!
I think the latest mobiles are having CID50.. I bought it a month ago and it is manufactured in July 2007.

hey hard_rock! try blackice's pack as well.. its the best.. get it at se nse forums...

 

[Ramakrishnan]

Will this work on W800i which is a convert from k750i?

^^^

flash menus? - Nope (tho there was some remote possibilities of flash support in some early W800s, but forget it)

acoustic pack? - yes, work wid any SE phone.

 

[hard_rock]

I applied flash menus. Interface looks awesome. Now, I want to use acoustic pack, I downloaded toshara n blackice.. there are so many files like BDSS_***.apf, farfield_,BTC_,VHF_,PHF_ etc.

Could you please tell me which one should I use for louder back speaker volume and headphone clarity. I think there are separate files to boost Call volume,Play volume etc etc.. I dont want to increase all volumes in order to save battery life.

Also how to restore back the original audio acoustics(the present one)??

 

[infra_red_dude]

all files wid "farfield" are related to the loudspeaker and "handset" to the earpiece, the PHF prolly are the headset files.

you need to take a backup of the whole acoustics folder to restore. or i guess you'll find the original ones on the net. search.

@infra_red_dude : I want to try this on my new W580, can you tell me if this is possible (or if it is not recommended), and if so which files I'll need?

Read Each And Every Word Carefully If you don't want to mess up your phone !

We use XS++ 2.0 to write files into the Phone's File System (FS)

1. First update your phone via SEUS.

This is easy just follow the on screen instructions given by SEUS program !
Reason for updating phone : XS++ supports CID52 flashing and SEUS will update your phone to CID52
If your phone is already updated then SEUS will says its already updated.. this is the case with all

new w610i sold in August and there after ! ppl who got phones before July will hv EROM CID 51 phone !

Installing SEUS is compulsory even if your phone is updated ! because it installs drivers required for

flashing which XS++ will use !

2. Download XS++
Create a folder XS++ in D: And Copy XS++.exe in that folder !
Create a folder with name files_to_upload in XS++ folder

3. Connecting phone to XS++

Shutdown phone . Remove SIM Card. 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 !

Your Phone OTP CID 51 and EROM CID 52 are must ! or else stop right here !

EROM CID Must be 52 !

4. Folder Creating Instructions and My Terminology !

If i say upload files to location files_to_upload/tpa/preset/system/desktop/flash/
then u must create a folder tpa then preset folder inside tpa folder and and so on till last folder

5. FSX Option in XS++ !

FSX uploads all the files in the folder files_to_upload to the phone's FS
In Configuration Select FSX to use FSX !
once u copied all files (example: skins, flash menu) in files_to_upload folder then click Start FSX !
Sit back and relax and XS++ will do the job !
Disconnect phone when done Insert Sim Card and Start Phone !


6. Flash Menus

After downloading flash menu copy the .swf files to flash folder

files_to_upload/tpa/preset/system/desktop/flash/*** .swf files her***

and upload using FSX to phone

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

7. Walkman skins

upload skin folder to this location in phone's FS using FSX

files_to_upload\TPA\SYSTEM\MULTIMEDIA\MP\SKIN\**skin folder here**

if skins are already placed then just flash ( click start FSX )

8. 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..

Advanced Stuff

9. Acoustics

w880i Acoustics are really great and provide v.good music quality

upload acoutics to this directory using FSX !!

files_to_upload/ifs/settings/acoustic/**** zapf files here ****

Few People have problems Installing SEUS.. only for them !

SEUS : FLASH PLAYER NOT INSTALLED ERROR !

SEUS requires flash player....
all firefox user have this problem !
Just install flash player using Internet explorer !!
search for flash player using google in IE ! goto that abode or macromedia website...
install it ! for windows and for IE !
Restart Computer !

NOTE:
Never Tell Service Center that u flashed ! if u do they will cancel your warranty !
If they ask any questions just say you updated your phone ! Your Phone's Warranty depends on your English ! And more over your are customizing the phone not flashing Main and FS which voids warranty.


That's all folks
Thank You
Regards Akshay !!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks akshay.

A few questions I really have to ask :
1. What exactly can go wrong?
2. How often does that happen?
3. Can it be fixed by SEUS?

 

[prateek_san]

hey guys can i try these stuff in w200i ???

 

[infra_red_dude]

@sykora
1)
a) you may flash the wrong files
b) you may delete some files inadvertently
c) you may forget some steps
d) the system may crash while flashing

2) 99% of the problems are recoverable unless you seriously screw up the erom by flashing the wrong files.

3) erom problems can't be fixed wid seus.

@prateek_san
w200i is currently not supported. wait for sometime.

 

[a_k_s_h_a_y]

dude don't worry... 99.9 % nothing is goin to happen !! just follow setps..

ur classmate might die due to heart attack ( 99.9 % wont happen ) .. but ur phone won't die

your phone is in warranty and SE will fix it for free because you are not flashing Main And FS !!

my friend got his k550i @ w610i camera repaired for free... they dint get to know that he had flashed it ( ok before giving to service he flashed back to k550i )

 

[Sykora]

OK, everything went fine, until I applied the themes. I think I overlooked the fact that my screen is at 240x320, and the theme doesn't resize. Is there anything I can do, or should I look for 240x320 themes? The Walkman skins are similarly small. Are there any places to download skins at that resolution?

 

[infra_red_dude]

Get the themes to match your phone's resolution.
