This can be done...

If some1 knows tool other than cruiser or tool (which can acces PHONE FILE SYSTEM and make changes with only DC 60 cable ) PLEASE POST IT HERE

Menu ICONS are stored in .png format so u can customize it.

The procedure for k700 is this (i think w800 or k750 is not very different)



THIS IS ACTUAL TUTORIAL from MEGARON

you like to have your own "customized" menu-item(s) in your K700???

Here's how to do with cruiser 3.4 and higher...:
Just make a cool, stylish icon and save it for web as a PNG-24 (with transparency).

Then you can use a simple txt-editor for editing the xml-file.
You can edit the title-text and a favorite url.
Save it, then turn your k700 off and attach it to cruiser.

Go to "file system"-tab and select "force to folder"-feature.
Use:
/tpa/preset/system/custmenu/DESKTOP_HOOK_1/
as the right folder, if you want to change the first item.
(you can also change the second menu-item (...HOOK_2))

Then press "upload files to fs" and upload the three files to fs.

Be carefull and always check the right filenames, before uploading to phone:
DESKTOP_OPERATOR_SEL_ICN.PNG
DESKTOP_OPERATOR_ICN.png
DESKTOP_HOOK_1.xml

Very important:
these changes in mainmenu are only visible until you make a master reset!

If you want to have the changes "forever", then go get a tar-compression utility, pack these files as a tar-archive, rename it to "DESKTOP_HOOK_1.itm" and upload it to this folder:
/tpa/preset/custom/

Hope you like my tutorial. And: USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK!

Greetings, Megaron

So if some1 has tried this on w800 or k750 or knows some other tool please post

that GUI uses file called "avenue.sfw" and its somewere in phones memory... Models w550 and w900 have that feature... and i was thinking about tweaking it and make it possible on w800 and k750. Probably the standard menu is also flash based...If that will be impossible to change I also contacted sony and give them an idea to make 4.1 theme support in one of next firmwares.

it will be possible in the 2007 phones,it's a marketing plus for next gen phones so why they will implement it on actual ones even if it's 100% feasable?
I don't defend SE but I show you the way of thinking they have,it's purelly marketing stuff
