I changed my G900 icon few weeks ago.. this is my screen B)

u can copy the original mbm and rsc files form z:\resource\apps and change the bmp inside the mbm files. Edit the path of mbm in rsc file and point it to c:\resource\apps. Copy all mbm and rsc to c:\resource\apps and use SMP to reclaim memory. Done!

File you should modify: (9 icons)

Agenda_loc.RSC - path of calendar icon
ALaunchIcon.mbm - organizer & entertainment icon
ALaunch_loc.RSC - path of organizer & entertainment icon
CallLogApp.mbm - call log icon
CallLogApp_loc.RSC - path of call log icon
Contacts_loc.RSC - path of contacts icon
default_agenda_icon.mbm - calendar icon
default_contacts_icon.mbm - contacts icon
Default_Opera_Icon.mbm - Internet icon
default_qmapp_icon.mbm - messaging icon
default_secamera_icon.mbm - camera icon
MediaCenterAppIcon.mbm - media icon
MediaCenter_loc.RSC - path of media icon
qctrlpnl_icon.mbm - settings icon
QCtrlPnl_Loc.RSC - path of settings icon
qmapp_loc.RSC - path of messaging icon
secamera_loc.RSC - path of camera icon
Web_loc.RSC - path of Internet icon

RSC is the default english language. You can refer to this table for your language. e.g. You may find *.R03 in your phone. 03 is DE language. If you are using english, you don't have to worry about this part. If you are using other language, just simply copy the RSC to Rxx and modify the path inside.

Hi.
Whenever I do this, it's only two of the buttons that changes. I'm pretty sure I've done everything correct, but someone who have tried the same, and what did you do?
I would be great if someone could help me ^^

thatīs because you are not using the icon pack for your language

most of the icon packs available are for english, if you have that they should work fully

Oh. So I can't change the icon pack itself, but have to change my phone language for it to work? I works almost if I change the language to english, but there's still two of the icons that doesn't change at all. "Camera" and "media", if that makes a difference.
If I can change it to work with danish, I'd like to know. ^^
Well, thank you anyway : D

you can check your z:\\resource\\apps and see if any *.rxx where xx is a number e.g. 30 for chinese, and I believe 07 is danish. You can copy that file to c:\\resource\\apps and edit the path inside the file. By the way, have you restarted your mobile after change the icon? I will suggest you to use smp and reclaim the memory. In case anything went wrong, your mobile won't become brick with smp reclaim.

There isn't such file in z:\\resource\\apps, and I've been checking all the files in that folder. But thank you anyway. I'm not that good at cellphones and stuff, so .... But still, thanks for your time ^^

you can rename the RSC to another code that for Fench. If you are using English, just keep it as RSC.

hi guys. I tried deleting my ALaunchIcon.mbm with CapsSwitch set to OFF but I am unable to do so. Rename error occurs when I tried to rename it, an indication that the mbm file is being used by some running apps*.

Any idea how I can delete it off to get back my default icons?


Using Swiss Mgr Pro by the way.

hello everybody , I am very new here , I lost my beautiful w800i and bought a new G900 , and I am also very new with symbian , uiq etc ...
its risky for me to hack my phone or try to change the icons...
but I dont like the original icons of the G900 , so I wanted to ask : does anyone know how much it is if I go to a phone reperation shop and ask the guys there to hack my phone and do it for me ?

You can hack your phone simply by using a software called Capswitch.

If I have a .r07 and a .r10 file in my C:\\resource\\apps, that means I can use the icons in US and danish, right? ;/ .. Doesn't make sence, when it isn't the full pack I can see.
