I was just wondering if anyone had tried this? (The first guy's post; named fromageking)

It seems kind of interesting. Not sure if it will work, but I'd like some feedback from people who are willing to try. Seems kind of stupid, though, cause he mentions that you can't delete anything other than the pictures, and there are only 2 predefined pics (the stupid flower and the rose).

For the WAP'ers:


--------------------------------------------------------------------

Warning: by taking the following procedure, all of your personal settings (such as pictures, ringtons, phone books ...) will be deleted. If you really want to do so, please backup your personal settings!!!!!!!


Assume you want to continue and get the backup done, here are the things need to do:

1.Firstly, write down the name of the predefined pictures you want to delete.

2. Go to "Settings" --> "Master reset" --> "Reset all" --> Enter the phone lock code (should be 0000 if you didn't make any changes) --> After push the "OK" buttom, your phone will reboot in 1 min.

3. After the the reboot, all the settings will be reset (personal pictures, ringtons, phone books ... will be lost). Do not go to "Pictures & sounds" \ "My pictures" in the moment.

4. Go to "Settings" --> "Display" --> "Start-up picture" --> choose "My picture".

5. Here comes the most important steps: When you enter "My picture" , you will found all the picture is showing the 'busy icon' instead of the priview of the picture (which means you mobile phone is establishing the preview of the pictures ), now quickly locate the the predefined picture you want to delete before the preview comes out, push "select" buttom, I repeat, is the "select" buttom not "C" (delete) buttom. Then mobile phone will ask something like " can not open picture, delete?", choose "yes", the predefined picture will be deleted.

6.Repest step 5 to delete all of the predefined pictures you want to get rid of. Speed is the key!!!!!!


Any takers?

Sounds like the latter half of the '13 second trick' or have I confused it with something else?

There's certainly some trick or other that relies on the preview pictures not loading fully.

Actually, with the 13 second trick, you take the battery out, killing all power to the phone. This theory is to disable the phone right before it starts to replace all of the predefined pics and stuff.

people have done this with 1 step in between...... first master reset, then filling up the phones memory to the VERY LAST byte, then try and assign pictures and since the phone has no operating memory left it will give you the 'cannot open item, delete?' question.


I've never tried it myself, but there was a thread with ppl claiming it had worked for them.

Nope, they are full of it. It WON'T let you delete a predefined theme (I'm not yelling at you Vlam).

I, first of all, have tried this, and second of all, that just won't work. They obviously are just trying to look big, but in reality, they are totally stupid and full of it.
