You will have to pay an unlocking service (Ultimate Unlocker/Total GSM etc) or ask ur operator for a unlocking code to unlock it permanently.
Patches add/modify extra functions to the firmware and can change the GFX.

Or you could update your phone to K810i and get virtually all the patches you'd ever want (R8BA024 that is)

one doubt sorry... I have following Main and FS to flash my K800i to k810.
Main

FS
K810_R8BA024_FS_CENT_EUROPE_RED52
K810_R8BA024_FS_C_ASIA_RED52

My doubt is this. Is it all right to use any of the above FS with given Main? Can we use any Fs for this main? I am from India. Which customization should i choose? Please help me.. Please tell me important things regarding main and fs selection before flashing. Thank you
