*****************APPLYING ICONS WITHOUT FAR/XS++****************



SE have a nice little developer feature that allows you to create shortcuts within the FS to files outside the FS. So for example when the phone looks for icon1_unselected.png, it looks in tps/preset/system/menu then sees a shortcut like this icon1_unselected.png.@ pointing to usb/other/menu, and shows the file at that location instead.

Using this principle, we can create shortcuts to menu sets within the phone's user accessible memory, and therefore we can change menu sets without using far or xs++ (once we have installed the shortcuts - that part needs far or xs++). All that is required is a phone restart to read the new icon set.

Here is a pack including instructions and the menu shortcuts you will need.

Download the pack, and follow these instructions:

1. Using FAR or XS++, copy the shortcuts to tpa/preset/system/menu

2. create a folder in usb/other called 'menu'. Create a folder in usb/other/menu for each of your custom menus. Menu icons must be named in the format icon1_selected.png, icon1_unselected.png etc.

3. The menu set that will be displayed, will be the one at this path: usb/other/menu/live, so before disconnecting far, name one of your custom menu folders to "live"

4. Exit FAR, then start your phone.

5. In future to to change menus, simply rename one of the menu sets in the menu folder to "live", then restart the phone. To add new menus simply copy them using the usb cable or bluetooth to "phone memory/other/menu"

You only need to do this step if you want to create your own shortcuts for different named menu icons or to make the shortcuts point to another location for example card/others/menu/live (if you want to use your mem card instead of phone memory).
Included is the menu shortcut creation program. To use it, run a command prompt and type se_shortcut /path/file (where path is the path you want the shortcut to point to, and file is the name of the file you want the shortcut to point to.) You will end up with a file called file.@ (or whatever the name of the file you are pointing to example icon1_unselected.png.@)


this is what shortcut icon file is supposed to have within the file (actually it is only txt file named .png.@):

for menu.ml
/usb/other/menu/live/menu.ml

for selected icon:
/usb/other/menu/live/icon1_selected.png

for unselected icon:
/usb/other/menu/live/icon1_unselected.png

TESTED AND WORKING 100%

******************END OF APPLYING ICONS TUTORIAL*****************


if you follow it carefully along with comparing it to downloaded attachment then tutorial is complete.

note that creating shortcut to layout.xml with this principle will not work.
shotcut to fonts by the same principle i haven't tried.

You need to add menu ml which was with icons, not leave Your original one.

I did this Method:

for selected icon:
/usb/other/menu/live/icon1_selected.png

for unselected icon:
/usb/other/menu/live/icon1_unselected.png

should i delete the original menu.ml file ?

[firoz3321]

Ok !!!

I deleted the original "menu.ml" file ....

Now its working fine ....


Thank U !!!

Bye
Take Care

[firoz3321]

This Method doesn't support "gif" icons I guess ..... Or would it ?

[steadyontherem8]

Yes it does.

[dioragry]

hey bro..
u got any full menu mods including games, alarm, inbox, etc..?
looking for those for my k800

[firoz3321]

Yes it does.

when I use "gif" files .... it shows NO icons at all .... just nothing ..... only Transparent !!

[steadyontherem8]

Hm how come it supports gif menus- fake flash menus are made this way.

[karavind]

using that shortcut method we can change the icons as either gif's or PNG's.... you cannot keep alternating, because in the icon_selected.png.@ files, the location of the file is given with extension(either PNG or gif)....

is that correct? or did i assume wrong?

offtopic: first post lol!
