Posted by jack77777
if there are any theme creators for w850i , try taking layouts from w810i themes
Posted by s.mark
I have read on the internet, that W850 should have 4 flash themes from SE, each of them enables you to set different look to the main menu grid. Bought mine from O2 last week, but I coudl find any of these themes in there.
Should the menu change appearance with the theme straight away, or do I have to do something else as well?
Posted by crstacy
Ok, to enable all of the flash themes you need to debrand your phone. Some operators allow you to use one or two, and some don't allow any of them.
Debrand your phone and you can use them. One is called Orange Bubbles, grouped, and female line. If anyone knows of another one please send it to me, cause I only have three.

I have all these in my phone, but unfortunatelly none of them actually changes the look of the main menu.
The phone is O2, but I was under the impression that O2 doesnt customise its handsets...?
Posted by brook1stone
mine shows the walkman info i.e song and artist but has normal 3 menu on grouped and on orange bubbles
Posted by crstacy
mine was O2 as well. It seems that the way they change the play now icon and add their own settings casuses the themes not to function. O2 still don't sim lock their phones though
Posted by s.mark
Yes, u`re right. I didnt realised that the Play now button has been changed for O2s own shortcut!
Damned! And I always loved O2 for the fact, that they never brand their handsets!!!

so , what your saying is w850i will only have flash themes if its debranded , say on tmobile contract ?
Posted by kulorex
That is correct. Most times you can't see the flash effect of the themes if the phone is branded.What i also wonna make clear here is, at the moment, we can't create our own flash themes yet. The images of the flash theme is stored inside the phone's firmware and the theme file contains the file that links to those images. For now its not that easy to safely create flash themes. SE will surly make it possible as soon as the figure out a safer way for us to create our own flash themes.
This message was posted from a W800i

it doesn not seem to work for my W850i bro
Posted by Abz0
I have an 850i on Orange and have the same problem. My mate with the same phone on vodaphone has the flash menus and I don't.
What are the implications of de-branding?
Posted by kjherstin
I am a themer and am using the latest theme creator v3 and we cannot use flash files to make themes unless some one here knows of any other program, flash is not possible. There is another way and that is to covert flash files to gifs. That's as good as it gets I'm afraid
Posted by lo little
ive made a w850i flash theme with the grouped menu just email lo_little4@hotmail.com for Pics and theme (note theme only works on debranded w850's and w850's with already working flash themes)
Sorry cant upload pic it says its not jpeg

Thanks

There is also one called Walkman, it's white and orange. Can anyone please let me know how to debrand a phone? What will I loose, and what will I gain?
Posted by Jez3a
Yea, I got my phone on 3G (www.three.com.hk), and the flash menus don't work, but the flash screens work, I hate that, and also the shut down screen is a big three, how do I change it? In settings I can only change the open screens and screen-saver. Anyone help?
Posted by Pandamonium
My w850 has four, Female line, grouped, bubbles and walkman. I'm on a virgin contract with no noticable branding so far.
Posted by freackers
yup needed flash themes for my w850 too!
any info will be usefull. thanks!
Posted by mobilemodman
well the only way is to flash your fone's firamware, however you would end up voiding your warranty. Flashing and debranding would enable the flash themes as some service providers disable them
Posted by atkinsonw

this thread seems to be going of in a drent direction

1* I dont know how to upload it im new to esato
2* You make your own theme and upload it then !
Posted by lo little
Here's the procedure (for W810 phones, anyway. Guess it's the same for W850, except that the swf-files are named differently):
Guide originally by DJ Unique on Esato. With minor edits by me.
W810i How To Guide: Flash Menu for all Themes
Here are the instructions on how to edit any W810i theme to use one of the 3 flash menus that are pre-installed on the handset. It's a bit tricky but, but should work like a charm.
You first need to download/make the theme you want to use the flash menu with.
Once you have the theme, you will notice that it has a file name like xxxxxx.thm
In order to edit this file you need the following software:
Tar Compiler: www.tugzip.com
XML Editor: www.philo.de/xmledit/
Install both of the above onto your PC.
The next step is to rename the theme extension to Tar file.
If you can't view the extensions of the files on your computer, then you need to enable it in Windows (in Windows Explorer – Tools – Folder Options – View – and then uncheck 'Hide extensions for know file types'.
Rename xxxxxx.thm to xxxxxx.tar
Now double click on xxxxxx.tar and it will open the archive in Tug Zip. You will now see a number of image files and a theme.xml file.
Extract all the contents of the archive to a folder on your computer, and then open the theme.xml file with the xml editor that you downloaded and installed above.
Just before the line stating:
Code:
Code:
Once you have done this, you will need to click file save as, and make sure that you save it as an .xml file.
Now you need to convert all the files back to a .thm file.
Locate the folder on your computer where you extracted the original archive, highlight all the files and right click. You should see a green arrow that says 'add to' ON ITS OWN! Click on it.
Ok where it says format, select TAR from the drop down.
In the field labelled 'name' you should see the location as to where the Tar archive will be saved. Makes sure you know the location, and name it to what you what you want the theme to be called. i.e. xxxxxx.tar
Click on ok.
Now rename xxxxxx.tar to xxxxxx.thm and upload it to your phone.

@lo little
Would that work on a branded w850 handset or would it have to be debranded?
Posted by freackers
is there any possible way to changes icon menu (such as message,file manager,etc) on desktop in themes we create??
Posted by freackers
@ lo little
how to rename the xxx.thm to xxx.tar? coz i tried to rename normally, but it keeps become "xxx.tar.thm" it wont open in TUGZip...
Posted by craig_l
@ lo little
I have nothing in my .xml file which mentions 'Code:'
Where are you supposed to see / add this line? Also, are you saying you need to add something like 'Code: orangebubbles.swf' ??
Could you please be a little clearer? BTW, I created my theme in mTC, not sure if this makes a difference to the xml file.
Cheers.
EDIT: Okay, I got it. You need to add the line:
Cheers!

Just before the line stating:

Code:
sorry my bad didnt paste properly
Posted by lo little
didnt paste again !!! aorry another try lol
Just before the line stating:
Code:<Desktop Color=\".......\"/>
enter this line:
Code:<Desktop_style Type=\"File\" Source=\"grouped_desktop.swf\"/>
You can use any one of the 3 flash menus inside the handset (orbit.swf, emerge.swf and equalizer.swf). For the W850 I've found: femaleLine_desktop.swf, orangeBubbles_desktop.swf and grouped_desktop.swf.
Posted by lo little
@ Freakers
No you cant change the menu icons like prevous phones (k750 ect) because I dont think you can get into the phone using far manager
Also ure problem with renaming to .tar from .thm is that you have to :
Enable it in Windows (in Windows Explorer – Tools – Folder Options – View – and then uncheck 'Hide extensions for know file types'.
hope this helps

here are the w880 citybeat themes, with grouped menu:
http://d.turboupload.com/de/1581383/ln6tl7s1ph.html
or with orange bubbles:
http://d.turboupload.com/d/1585002/Citybeat-OB.thm.html
and the musaic themes:
http://d.turboupload.com/d/1585126/M...bbles.thm.html
the good things about w880 themes is.. their fit to w850 screen, the .swf wallpapers looks nice, its a cool when we're minimize the walkman player all the id tags will display and the image will moving follow the beat.

Thnx a bunch for these
Still to bad we can't get the same menu as the w880i like in the CityBeat one, but I'm very happy with these for starters.
Great work

Thanks Freackers

would it be possible to get a w900i flash theme menu layout and put it in a w850i theme and upload it here ?
Posted by haroonsheikh
i have swf files for many menus please lemme know if any one can convert them to theme files
Posted by jack77777
u dont really need to do that u can put the swf. file inside the theme then use tugzip and xml editor to make the flash menu the source for the menu i think.
Posted by haroonsheikh
can u explain the procedure a bit more, i didnt want to screw up my mobiles firmware
