Well, I took the dive today and modified the menu.ml file and uploaded some new icons.
I have gonfigured the Play Now menu to open Mini Commander, which is my most often used java app. The Internet Services menu has been reset to open Video Maniac (a java player that is better for watching videos than the inbuilt player). This is just a taste of the possible menu mods.
There are also different styles for example single row menus, tabbed menus and animated menus.
Here at se-nse they have a growing collection of icon sets and menus: http://forums.se-nse.net/index.php?showtopic=5797&hl=
Method is the same as usual, install menu.ml files and icons in /tpa/preset/system/menu. (use XS++ to install)

The wait has ended. I imagine how you felt because you couldn't do what we do(modify our phones as easy as breath).
Posted by Xen0nflash
You also have the k800 menu icons pack. The bad thing is that most of them are for K790
Posted by tranced
@xen0n: aint them the same? the k790 menu is the same as the k800. i may understood you though
Posted by TheNerd
too bad we cant modify the sounds (increase the volume) and camera drivers like the w800 users do... )-:
Posted by Vipera ammodytes
thenerd
why?
Posted by TheNerd
becasue I didnt find any way to do it.
could do it easily with FAR on my W800.
the volume of the K800 is so low that its unbearable ,and I would like to increase it... but cant!!! not supported by FAR.
P.S : its CID51

You can now get into K800 with Far - See here: http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=153343. It's much nicer using FAR than XS++ as you can browse though file system. But, at this stage there is no way to backup files from you're phone with either FAR or XS++ so you need to be careful. If you want to improve your sound volume try these:

does it take too long to upload a theme to the k800?
cid 49 needed 5 hours is this the same with cid 52?

I think the brute force era is gone. If my reading is right it only takes few minutes to update firmware with XS++
Edit: Done updating wife's Z610 R1KG CID52 firmware with XS++. Just take 5 minutes. You may want to download your own customization pack (CDA) as XS++ only have a handfull phone with its customization pack (some EUROPE + few more). Z610 is not among listed so you definately need to download your own custpack from topsony! Cheers!

nice find!
but it has only one issue,we can only copy to the phone,and not vice versa.
so,do you know where I can find the original acoustics of the k800? in case I'll do something wrong.

I have copies of all generic FS files (example camera and accoustic drivers, original content etc.), as well as customise files for a few regions (customize.xml, custom folder etc)
Just let me know if you need anything.

I think it is benefecial if you can upload some of them to sharing server. I am particularly intersted if you have K800 R1KG acoustic file. Thanks!
Sure I can reflash my phone if anything go wrong, but to upload a single file will be faster.

I don't think CDA (customization) hinder menu modding. But I think it is better if you have your FS+MAIN for your local CDA handy in case anything go wrong in the modding. SO you can just reflash it.

Waw! It worked like a charm! I have change the menu icons and layout thanks to the crayonpack i found on se-nse
Posted by kimot01
if i fail to mod my phone wat will happen??? or if i dont like the w850 or w880 acoustic how can i put the settings back to normal???
flashing with seus?
please PM me on how to MOD.,
Posted by tranced
First back up your original and if you dont like the ones you uploaded you can put the original again.
Posted by kimot01
sorry for asking too many question.,
how to back up?
Posted by tranced
As far as i know, k800 users are able to use far manager, right? So, in far manager go to FS, settings. You'll see a folder called acoustic, highlight it and then press copy, in the right panel you should select the location where you're going to store it.

nice...
thank you sooooooooooo much!!!

No doesn't work on cid 51/52!! You will only backup empty zero byte files, not the actual files themselves.
WARNING: AS YET, YOU CANNOT BACKUP FILESYSTEM WITH FAR MANAGER OR XS++!!!
To the guy who asked about location of the particular menu's in the 40PLUS page thread, well duh, I had to look myself and I don't feel like going back to look through all those pages to find the links for you. If you take the effort to read through the thread a little you'll learn shit anyway, so I suggest you get reading!
Nor do I host stuff for people. I'll upload some basics to rapidshare, but the there is actually most of the stuff you need at SE-NSE already.
Lot's of different firmware and extract FS directories here:

All the menus I have, I downloaded from that thread (including the ones I showed thumbnails for).
It might be in a pack - one guy posted a link to a 17Mb pack containing a bunch of icons. If you can't find it tell me which one you like and I'll rapidshare it.

Here's my first modded K800 menu.
http://rapidshare.com/files/50251375/MyCustomMenu.zip.html
The menu goes well with an XP theme I got from someone (not my own work), and I've used a collection of different icons from various authors gathered from the K800 software modding thread at se-nse.
The menu uses two java apps (which you have to install also), these java apps replace the Play Now menu item and the Internet Services menu item. Internet Services is accessible via the online button, so hardly seems useful to have a whole menu item devoted to it in the menu.
The two java apps I've used instead are Mini Commander (a Total Commander clone for J2ME - file management, rar and zip, text editor, ftp, way better than Moby Explorer) and Video Maniac, which plays movies but also gives faster ff/rew and a fullscreen progress bar (missing on the K800 inbuilt player)
I've also moved the Video Call menu to within the Entertainment menu, and moved the Radio menu out of Entertainment and back into the Main Menu.
I've deleted the Demo Movie menu, the Sim Kit menu, and wireless village menu (my friends) since I don't use them and I prefer to have as few icons cluttering up menus as possible.
The archive above contains the menu, icons, theme and java apps.

Did a little preliminary modding on my K790a tonight. Used the W880 acoustic drivers and they work much better than the original K790a ones. The earpiece volume is noticeably louder now. Speakerphone seems louder too.
I also went ahead and deleted all the crap that was previously undeletable, like ringers, pics, video clip. I guess as I get braver and figure out more about FAR I'll do more. I wish there were more step by step tutorials for this stuff.

I went through all this with K750, and it's virtually the same deal. On my K750 I had whittled it down to six main menu items (phone, multimedia, Organiser, Internet, Tools, and Settings) in single row format. Everything was still there but just more efficiently organised in submenus.
The shortcut to java apps is a neat trick, as it allows you to then add that java app to the shortcut menu.

That second menu looks sick! How do you download it?
Anyway, can you change the Video Call button to Radio, the Playnow one to Quadra Pop, and the Calls one to Video player?
Posted by vegetaleb
@ MaxWEdge can you upload the first and third custom pack from the previews you gave?
@mts the link where I found the ''crayon'' pack is the link toward se-nse forum that Max-Edge gave on first page in this topic,if you want this same pack it's in page 17 of that link
