Well keep doing some experimenting Tranced and feed back to us.
Im really curious.
Do me a favour.
See if you can take the icons you find on the Windows XP desktop and use them on your P990i  Only jokes.
Thats the first thing Im going to try once I get some more information about this whole thing.

Seem to recall when I first got a smartphone being told that I could do everything with except go messing about in the system folders. For instance, in the P910 they were easy to access but unlike tranced I never thought about attempting to copy the content of my private and system folders.
So unless you're qualified, I'd advise against this.

I agree Brix.Im sure we gonna be hearing horror stories from some of the more curious folk soon.You can now download the W960i Z:private and C:system folders on Ipmart.People are going to start mish-mashing between models W960i to P1i.Hair-raising stuff.Like I said to Wangs,Im just watching and waiting for something useful and then jumping in myself.
Ok a lightbulb moment with something Trance said.When you change your fonts all you are doing is mirroring the Resource/font folder in your C:therefore apon rebooting your phone,your memory stick takes preference over the C: So the whole idea is to mirror your Z: and C:folders onto your memory stick,make changes where necessary,and on reboot your memory stick folders take preference.Am i right Tranced?_________________

HOBBS, that last bit sounds pretty confusing. What if you make a mistake can you "undo" it?

Just like reinstalling your default font after changing it,you just take out the memory card and reboot. On reboot your phone without the memory card picks up C:Resource/Fonts and not D:Resource/Fonts (the replica you made on your memory stick.
You are not actually touching your phones C:drive folders when making changes.You are just copying them over to your memory stick and making changes on the copied files.
On rebooting, your phone is thinking your memory card is your phones system folders because they are identical and for some reason your memory card takes preference.
Everything just returns to normal after you reboot without memory card.

Brix,pop into symb1an-fre@k.
Theres almost 50 pages of discussion going on over there about the hack for S60 phones.
Downloads and instructions are available and a nice little piece on justifying this hack as not been wrong and something we should have been able to do from the start because of how much these phones ultimately cost.
Nice one.
Im having lightbulb moments every 5 minutes now of what I could possibly be able to end up doing and having a phone modded and tweaked perfectly to my liking.
But patient I be.

All this Hacking and modding of this, and opening of that etc. . . Got me dizzy.
I saw that i can hack my phone as well but if i restart it,it will be "unhacked" again, the procedeur looks long,think il wait for something more uhmm. . .practical, ive already got my Device Certificate and i have MobileSigner so i can sign applications to install and work on my phone so realy don't need to hack. . . . . .Yet.
Im scared of killing my phone anyway.
@ JC
Great stuff bro

@HOBBS: It sounds very scary. I'll check out that website but right now I'm still sceptical about this whole hacking business.

Its only scary for us idiots Brix because we dont know much about it.Once we become more educated on the matter we will see the opportunities that are open to us.In time

Yeah, great pics indeed, JC!
Great to see more cellphone pics in the thread. Those pics of Signal Hill and The Waterfront brought back quite a few memories for me.

@ Hobbster:
Keep meaning to mention, 2 minor quirks with that smoke abstract theme. The highlighted info on the screen, when scrolling etc always has a white line through the text, and setting the alarm is a bit of a bugger, as the highlighted unit of time is blank when you try to change it.
It'll still change, but you gotta keep count as to how many taps with the stylus you've made to get to the desired hour/minute. One can then check by scrolling across to one of the other alarm settings, to check that you've set the alarm time correctly:
While on the subject of time, tonight at midnight, daylight saving ends here, until the end of October again. Thus there'll only be one hour difference between the UK and SA from tomorrow, as watches, clocks etc are all moved one hour forward. The PC's automatically adjust.
