K850 Menu interface in K810

Posted by geroldbravo
hey guys.. please help me out.. i dont know how to upload menu.ml files or the icons... or simply uploading new menu icons using xs++3.1!!! i've uploaded my k800-k810 firmware but i can't understand the things to do to upload downloaded menu icons.... please help... thanks

Connect your phone with XS++ and use the fsx option. With that you can browse the file structure and find /tpa/preset/system/menu. Put your menu file and your icons here and it should work. You also might want to check this for more direct editing: http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=155213#post2104868 .
With this method you don't have to connect with XS++ or FAR every time you edit your menu. Now you can just plug in your phone and and instantly edit your menu files.

is that a k850i theme? and if so where can i get it?

Posted by tranced
that's not a k850 theme. that's the k850's menu interface that we can put on k790/k800/k810 phones.

Dear guys,
I would like to install the beautiful suite of iva_se to change the K810 menu icons to k850 style.
I've read all the four pages about this topic and I would appreciate if you could explain me three questions about it:

Preliminary remarks: I have got a K810i brand TIM but now I have flashed it with Wotan Server to the last firmware available (R8BA024 CID52).

- as I have read that someone had some problems (in order to the player activation, or with the shortcuts that don't work properly because they don't appear to display) I would like to know if these are problems caused by a wrong installation procedure or, actually, there is some bug to solve.

- I didn't understand how to change the order of the icons inside the menu (I would like to maintain the original order of the K810i with the 6th place with Media Player, 7th place with File Manager, 9th place for Video Calling). Could you explain me with an example how to do that?

- I know I can reverte the procedure simply by deleting with XS++ the new files (MENU.ML and PNG files) installed and uploading only the original MENU.ML file. According to this I would like to know if the original K810i icons are pre-installed and it is not possible to delete them (fortunately) so there is no need to upload them... Is it right? Whit this procedure will the menu come back with the original aspect? I don't want to flash the phone again

Thanks everybody for help

How do i get that k850 menu onto my w910 phone?

I downloaded the them but just shows the usual icons.

Can the methods shown be used on w910 phones?

Just used XS++ to put these icons on my K800i. When switching on, I get a message there is a problem in the menu file and may cause the phone to be unstable but the icons etc all appear perfectly fine and the phone is okay too.
Need I worry? I uploaded all the files in the menu folder.
Thanks
Doug

Sorted. Superb!

Nope, DB3150 (W910i, W960i, K850i etc) is not supported by XS++ yet.

Beautiful! Thanks for the upload!

Edit. The button for Media isn't working for some reason.. Is this normal?

Matthew,
You have not loaded the correct file/picture for the number 9 icon. Reload them again starting from number 1 through to number 12. Should be okay then.

If i want to revert to the orig menu, and I have the K810i, would using the menu skin from the k800 work?

Posted by tranced
as both are almost the same phone, i think you could. but, better get an original one from a k810.

Posted by peterpacket
Very nice theme, I like it :)

Can someome please give me the "folder" icon for this theme, I want to replace the "alarm" one. (or any other icon in this style which is suitable for "Applications") thx!

I love these icons, but that menu.ml file totally rearranged the menu. Also PlayNow button didnt work at all.

So I took the liberty of customizing this a bit

. I basically edited the original K810 MENU.ML (rather than messing around with the provided one), so now arrangement's the same (no Alarm and Radio buttons). Since no Video Call and Music Player icons were provided, I made them myslef

, and I think I did a pretty good job. Here's how my K810 menu looks now.

Working on customizing the theme as well. Theme background and wallpaper are great but the rest is a little.... cliche.

If anyone's interested, I can make the icons and menu.ml public

hey! it would be very cool of you if you could do a folder icon for me so I can replace the alarm one with it. could you do that? :)

I guess I could, but what're you gonna use it for? There's already a file manager icon.

btw, [u]FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO KEEP THE ORIGINAL ICONS[/u]:

Uploading K850 icons doesn't replace the original ones. It's just that when you change MENU.ML file, the new script in it tells the phone to use the new icons rather than the factory ones. The factory icons are still stored in the phone. So if you want to return the original icons, all you have to do is return the original MENU.ML.

well actually I need the folder icon so I can use this for applications menu where the alarm one is.

Walkman icon ready. Folder/Applications icon coming up

well actually I need the folder icon so I can use this for applications menu where the alarm one is.

Do you know how to edit menu.ml, so the new icon redirects to applications menu? Cause i don't

.

EDIT:
I think I found out how. Need to change code RN_SHORTCUT_LIST_CALENDAR_ICN to ORGANIZER_MENU_APPLICATIONS_ICN. Tell me what's the final menu config you want, so I can prepare MENU.ML for you. Btw, your phone is K810, right? Cause if it isn't, the file may not work.

You don't need to write an menu.ml for me, I wrote my own one. Thanks in advance for doing the folder icon :)

@ sergage

hi that theme is awesome, especially the one with walkman icon

as far the folder manager icon goes either one is great i think

can u make it available for us K800i users to download? as the alarm and radio button do not suit us K800i user at all.

Thanks!

Ok, here you go, download this: http://www.sergage.com/temp/k800_menu_custom.zip

I've included all needed PNG files and several MENU.ML files. You need to upload only one of the MENU.ML files. If you're not sure which PNG files you need, just upload them all, no harm in that. Choose MENU.ML file depending on desired icon configuration. The "standard" set includes K850 style icons copying K800 order (i.e. no alarm or radio icons). There are also sets with either Walkman or Folder icons, or both of them. I've also included original K800 MENU.ML i've found on the net, in case this doesn't really work, although it should. I don't have a K800 to test this, I'm sorry

.

EDIT:
Oh and don't forget the slightly modifyed "Light Flow" theme. Only difference with the original is no stupid desktop icon highlight thing. So you see only plain icons as you go through the main menu. Better IMHO.

Thanks!

I checked the menu files, script is fine, it should work. Same script works on my K810 just fine, all icons should show up. Make sure you've uploaded all of the PNG files and make sure you've not renamed any of them, particularly the 'play_now_off.png' and 'play_now_on.png' files.

As for the walkman title, it wasn't supposed to show Walkman. It's code is in a different file, which I haven't located yet.

OR

Try the opposite, try renaming the icon files and change the code. Maybe it's somekind of a reserved filename. Rename 'play_now_off.png' and 'play_now_on.png' into something else, e.g. 'playnowunique12345_off.png' and 'playnowunique12345_on.png', and change filenames in the code as well (use notepad to edit, use CTRL+H to find and replace filenames, then save file). Then re-upload updated files and see if it worked.

well i did upload all icons so that wasn't the case.

However, I solved it by renaming all the icons to another menu i downloaded and use that menu.ml instead.

I am not sure if it is me, but the icons looks smaller than the original K800i icons and smaller than the screenshot u posted

[ This Message was edited by: skyc280 on 2008-04-14 19:14 ]

Posted by sergage
Obviously they look smaller because your monitor's PPI resolution is lower than your phone's. I assume you're using an LCD monitor, but even if you run it at it's native resolution, still, phone screen pixels are more dense. So phone isn't downsizing the icons, don't worry about this, they're at their actual size.

I found a way to rename the walkman icon title to WALKMAN. Open your menu.ml in notepad, find the following line under Element 6:

<label type="name" textid="MENU_MEDIAPLAYER_TXT"/>

Change line to:

<label type="name"> <text>Walkman</text> </label>

This renames title in the main menu only. When you open it, it's still gonna say Music Player. I'm working on renaming that as well. But I think there's an even better possibility, I think it's possible to upload actual Walkman interface, the one only the Wxxx series have.

After flashing my K810 i realized that some firmwares have a homepage icon instead of the playnow icon in the main menu. So I set up my homepage to be Yahoo and made an icon for it

you need to get the original "MENU.ML" from your phone or any other so you will be able to re-upload it to your phone using xs++.
