PSP XMB Theme

After seeing the most recent post in the news about there being Playstation Home available for SE phones, I saw the image on the W880, which gave me an idea for a theme.
(Btw the phone I'm going to use this theme for is the S500i as I'm soon going to purchase it, so I intend on adding lighting effects to the theme, although I will make a second version without the lighting effects)

After seeing that, I've been searching the net for an hour or two, looking for a .gif or a flash file of the psp's default XMB background, but could not find any (.gif meaning I want the waves to be in motion).
But if I've read correctly on certain posts, some/most theme creators curretly do not allow flash themes as of yet, which is why I want the .gif, although I'd prefer it to be a flash theme overall so that the background can run smoother and I can customize the menu to be like the real PSP XMB.

What programs currently allow users to create a flash theme for these phones?
As mentioned, I want it to be a flash theme so that the background will run smoother and that I can make the menu layout to be like the PSP XMB (not just the icons, the ENTIRE menu will be in a Cross Media Interface)

And basically, what I'm looking for is:
- A program that creates flash themes
- .gif or flash file of the PSP XMB Backgrounds; Preferrably all 12, but one is still fine
- Individual PSP Menu Icons, although if there's no way to get this, I can just find a way to get it off of my PSP
- And an Idea for a suitable main background in standby mode

If this becomes successful, I might make another version of this theme like the S500 Everchanging theme; Having the theme color or entire theme itself change after a certain point in time, and also after each month like the PSP

This is just a concept atm as I do not have the required files, but if I do manage to get it, I'll fully set this in motion immediately.

~The very first project though will be a theme that all phones can use and that people are comfortable with; with only the menu icons changing to PSP XMB style (as in, no Cross Media Interface).

Opinions please? >___<
I personally like this idea as I am a big fan of the PSP and PS3; especially their UI, though alot of people may say otherwise as it might make the menu system abit more complicated to use

Sounds good to me. I too really liked the look of the w880 sporting the xmb at e3.

As for icons, if you google for a ps2 project called argon on sourceforge there should be a file that within it contains the icons. if you go to the forum post at psx-scene there may even be a zip with the icons in it...

would you be able to program shortcut keys as they are now? (also isnt part of the k850s menu supposed to be xmb styled?)

I made a theme called the FSX theme. It uses the Equalizer flash menu, and contains many other gaming pros. I think its world class. Ask if you want it.
