I have created a theme on my theme creator pro and used all the correct images sizes and even selected vodafone as my phone was once locked on this network so has all their rubbish on it.

After transfering the theme by bluethooth, and applying the theme, it just shows a grey screen background and none of the images in the theme. Only the text colours are correct.

Any help to resolve this would be great.

Thanks

Sorry guys, i know the phone is not current model anymore, but has no one had a problem with not being able to load their own made themes to the k700i?

I flashed the phone now so its no longer with all the vodafone stuff, but my theme that i made is still is just grey.

I have tried downloading a theme, sending it to the phone and it works.
I then unpacked the theme on my pc and pasted all my images (from the theme i made) into the images of the theme that worked and saved them. Then saved the theme i made again using the new filenames and exact image sizes from a theme that worked.....and still only grey screen when transfered to my phone.

Even if i just say use one picture as menu and leave the others standard, the whole thing appears grey and doesnt show the one photo that i put in the theme.

Im useing the sony theme creator and the my theme creator pro, both seem not to make a theme that works.

Hello Mate, I was gonna say its prob a branding issue but you`ve flashed it. I had similar prob and it was all the voda sh*te on the phone that prevented anything being applied.

Try using another file extention? if i remeber k700 supports .png? or try using lower quality on your pics, try everything, seems very wierd that it does not work.

Managed to sort it. For some reason it doesn't like jpg files, only bmp. So i re-saved everything into bmp and the theme works. Phew!
Just that bmps take up a little more space which is a bit annoying. No idea why it doesnt like jpgs tho.
