no, you must remove the original files, else the phone will only use the original files and not look at the shortcuts!

ok thanx max!
» more clarifications... does this mean that if we want to store more menus, we should place this in the phones memory and not the memory card.
» and if i only want to change the icons.. and leave the menu untouched.. then i wont copy menu.ml.@ right?!

yes and yes
If you want to store icon sets on memory card, you can but you have to copy them to the phone memory if you want to use them.
You can also make your own shortcuts by specifying card/other instead of usb/other, but personally I prefer not to use the memory card, because then I can't use the phone if I swap memory cards (it would probably be okay as long as the memory card was in the phone when you started, but just say you had removed the memory card, and didn't have it available and needed to restart the phone. You'd have no menu after restart. So I prefer to use the phone memory.

Yes amazing indeed. Mostly i've just learnt from others, and like to see everyone benefit from the same information. It's the great work of se-nse modders who pioneer these methods. The only main exception is w800 k750 camdrivers - esato is home of the camdriver mod.

does not work for me, I have done exactly what was in the instructions...
the menu that was in the LIVE folder works, but if I rename the folders and then restart the phone then it does not display the new one, it says there is some error hence the menu can not be displayed correctly... restarted a few times and even done the "trick" with the battery... but nothing |

then their must be something different in the other folders? Try creating say two folders called one and two. Put the same menu in each folder and also icons with the same names (but different images)
Then see if the same thing happens. This is just a step in the process of elimination. If it works fine, then it's just a problem with the other menu.ml files or icons, if it doesn't work then their is something about your phone that won't let it change menus this way. Which would seem odd to me, I've never had a problem with this method and as far as I'm concerned, if everything is in the right place and the menu.ml files are correct, it will work.

max, you were right...
I renamed all the files with a batch file from "item1_selected.png" to "icon1_selected.png" then replaced working menu.ml file and tried it again... now it works!
thanks man!
by the way, I opend the shortcut files with the notepad and there is actually only the file path, I was wondering if we could change that instead of using exe file?
I tried to do this with Fonts as well but it does not work with the fonts... pitty

no, you need a hex editor or the shortcut generator exe. The shortcut is actually in hex code, not ascii text. The hex file has the ascii string in it, plus a few other hex characters. Those characters don't appear in notepad.

sorry for being such a noob, but what's the use of the se_shortcut.exe file? |
