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 :)

OK here it is. A simple folder icon. Hope this is what you had in mind.

@ 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.

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

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 cant do anything about it but pay to debrand it.

xs++ doesnt support this phone. this is a db3510 phone and xs++ supports db2010 and 2020
