Hi all
Wanted to share some cool modding techniques..
here is wht u can do ..
-MOD your oldage MENU icons to cool looking icons..
-MOD your cam driver for better picture
-MOD your acoustic files for better sound
-MOD Layout so that it doesnt show the network name .. so that u see the wallpaper as whole
-MOD MEDIA PLAYER SKIN(yet to come, still working on)
-MOD the way menu icons are displayed
-MOD the fonts also(this is still in experimental.. few bugs present though)
ok B4 we start anything here .. let me say ..wht u r about to do carries risk.. i will try to be elobrate here so that nothing goes wrong .
but if arent sure ASK HERE.. CLEAR EVERYTHING AND THEN PROCEED
REQUIREMENTS:
data cable
driver (usb)
fully charged phone
Procedure
Here we use XS++ software
/tpa/preset/system/menu is the default path for loading your icons ..
First you will need usb drivers installed: *rapidshare.com/files/15929980/USBFlash.zip
Extract the USB Drivers to a folder on your computer.
Turn off your K800 (or SE phone). Hold down the "C" button, and while holding it, plug in the cable. A windows prompt will find hardware and will ask you if you want to install it automatically or manually. Use the manual option and browse to the folder where you extracted the usb drivers.
Download XS++: *www.se-nse.net/gbrooks3/XS++/download.php

Extract some where say MY documents .
In the XS++ folder, create two folders called
just like this

Now after creating folders as i mentioned run XS++ now. Click Connect and plug the usb cable into the phone while holding the "c" button. Release the c button when XS++ indicates the phone is connected.
The first thing is to select the access method; generally use BreakSX as the wayin. However, to select the wayin, you will need to click into 'Flash' configuration, tick 'customize file system', and then go back to 'settings' and click BreakXS.
Click FSX: any files in the files_to_upload folder will be copied to the phone's internal file system when you click Start FSX. Alternatively add file names and the full pathname using the "add file" button for any files you want to delete.
The files in files_to_upload folder must have the same directory structure as the phone.
For example camera drivers should be saved in
within the files_to_upload folder so they will be copied to that same folder on the phone. Menu files need to be uploaded to
see the structure at the address bar..

Okay, now on to the fun stuff!
Using Your Own Icons
Now I'm not going into the how-to's of photoshopping your own icons, I'm no Photoshop guru, so I'll assume you either made them yourself or downloaded them and they are ready to be used in your menu.
Icons can be named anything you want, as long as the code in menu.ml points to the same name. However SE seem to use the following standard for naming menu icons located within the file system:
'icon1_unselected.png', where "1" is the menu item placement in main menu, and "unselected" is the pos. So the selected icon for the entertainment menu for example, is icon3_selected.png. Note: this is a convention only, it's the code in menu.ml that determines the actual placement not the icon name, but if icon developers use the same standard then it is easier for people to use those icons with their own menu.ml files, because everyone will be using the same naming convention.
So that's it a basic how to on menu modding.
u cant take a backup of your files ...(Still the software is not supported for it .. but it will soon change)
here is a sample

*img101.imageshack.us/img101/6991/crystalclear2hr0.png
will post the menu icons files soon...
until then use this site HUGE COLLECTION
this tutorial is mainly for the db2020 or cid 51/52 phones .. such as k800/k790/w850/k810 and so on...
for others phones ask here and then proceed to MOD...
