yes its GIF... but we all know transparency is hard to control on GIF.
but its a good effect tho... kewl! ill try glass shine.

Posted by max_wedge
it's a full screen graphic - not actually transparent - just an animation.

re: scrollbar, it's a layout.xml hack. You can find info about it at se-nse in the pimp your main menu thread

Posted by rockygali
oh ok i understand... i thought it icon per icon... thats why the sparkle is so precise... no white jaggies on the edge.

it's a shortcut trick. You create a file that SE see's as a shortcut to the actual files, which are in user acessible memory.

I will post about this soon, but I haven't tried it myself yet. If it works the way it does on K750, then we will have a way to easily change menus. It will require a phone restart though.

I noticed you got your menu at se-nse. The menu's I showed in the first few posts are all in the se-nse K800 software modding thread - some of them are in a large menu pack (17MB worth) that one guy posted. I even put a link to that download in this thread somewhere.

Posted by Xen0nflash
What makes W850 support flash themes?

Posted by Xen0nflash
@max_wedge

Do you have a link to that K750 shortcut thing

@all

Does anyone have the T650 green icons for k800?

hi there!, its at \\\\TPA\\\\PRESET\\\\SYSTEM\\\\FONTS

ive tried changing mine too, twas a good experience tho, but im not quite happy with the results, of course these default fonts are sized up to meet the screens specs, if you wish to change it and see your new fonts perform good on your screen, you hafta tweak around with the layout.xml in order for these fonts to perfectly fit all windows, bars, menus etc etc inside your phone.

here is a files you can study and play around...
-------------------------------
file: FONT.zip
from: stock K800
firmware: R1KG, EUR_2 (Red52)
download: HERE
-------------------------------

you can open the font.xml file using notepad. included in the zip file are two sample default TrueType FONTS.

its up to you to try this out... if you think you know what your doing... then go ahead...

ciao!

it's on se-nse somewhere. I don't have the info handy that's why I'm waiting till I get some time to look at it. Just search on se file system shortcuts, that should find it.

hi guys, i need some help.

i did a couple of mods in my k800i. i changed the acoustics, icon, startup, camera settings. after this mods, the font size in my phone became bigger than the stock font size settings? its now annoying me, what should i do? btw, i did try to change the font to myriad but already restored it to the original font

thanks!

Posted by rockygali
i went to that stage also... if you ever revert back to stock fonts...

the size of the fonts where you get to read your inbox is so big. its pretty irritating.. you know wot.. i didnt know wot to do i got so irritated...

iver turned to wotan and flash my phone.. alot easier and stress free. only took me 6mins and a couple of bux.

thats why i think on a nother thread i have posted this one trying to warn those who wanted to change system fonts.

whats your experience?! and wot are the irritable fonts

Posted by klipsch
oh men, i didnt see your warning about this! my font size in messages, notes and status menu is 2 pts bigger than the usual. and its really annoying, i often receive these full length message, now i have to scroll a couple of times just to read the full message!

damn! is there anyway i can reflash my phone for free? my current firmware is R1JG001 hongkong i think

Posted by rockygali
so its still in R1JG, how bout upgrading to R6BC via wotan.... or R1KG via SEUS

some say R6BC is already available in SEUS.. dunno for what region but APAC is still at R1KG.

your shot mate.

Posted by klipsch
thanks for the help! i will try to update my phone now, hopefully everything will be back to normal

Posted by rockygali
it will matey... be sure to back everything up.

Posted by klipsch
oh yeah, good thing you reminded me. just one thing, how do i backup my k800i? there is no backup option in pc suite unlike in p990i pc suite..

Posted by rockygali
PC Suite is crap!

try MyphoneExplorer... its in here
http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=105374

it will back everything up... from contacts, SMS, cal events etc etc...

Posted by klipsch
hmm.. now i keep on getting "error:update failed". is is because i did a couple of mods on my phone?

Posted by rockygali
no idea mate... mines ok after i flashed my phone to wotan.. i can certainly update via SEUS...

weird....

Posted by klipsch
whew, finally i was able to fix my k800i's font. updating it using SEUS did not do the trick. i updated its firmware to r6bc of k810i using xs++ and it did the job

Posted by rockygali
kewl.. so now you got a K810 FW on a K800 body..

how did you do that? FOR FREE?

Posted by klipsch
yeah, i love the new features like trackid and photofix. but, basically everything is still the same.

it is free, just have to download some stuff follow a pretty detailed instruction on how to do it:

kewl. nicely done...

maybe its the time to start converting some K800...

Posted by klipsch
yeah! sen-se has a couple of wicked k800i, k810i, w850i etc mods. along with the common acoustic, menu, camera mods, they are also trying to use firmware of the newer phones to old ones like the k800i.

thanks for the help, men.
have to get some sleep now

Posted by whitehackker

http://forums.se-nse.net/inde[....]st=0&gopid=159130&#entry159130

wait for your opinions..
thanks...

hello,

i have an o2 branded phone and i want to change my menu icons, i tried a few packs and they work ok except the top left "o2 home" icon doesnt ever get changed, is it possible to get it to change without flashing to a generic firmware?

many thanks

Posted by lpachuong
You can deal with it by changing the layout.xml by using far.

Posted by rajravat
thanks the reply, have you got any more specific information about this? i can see the files are in my file system with far.. but im not sure what im looking for... (copying files doesnt work, alwyas comes up with 0 bytes)

ive download original k800 layout files from the forum and uploaded them and then tried to install the menu icons again but get the same problem, im not sure if its in another file... hmm!
