VIDEO TUTORIAL
XS++

A2Uploader

I'm gonna use my XperienceXperia theme for this tutorial.

A lil files you need.
SET Flash Menu
A2Uploader/XS++ 3.1(depending on your phone model)
A theme(.thm)
A flash menu of your choice(.swf)


First, Unzip the SET Flash Menu and put it in your program files.
Second, Right click a theme you want to add flash menu with.
Select This : Right click -> Send to ->SET Flashmenu

a Theme.xml will appear, After it appears, close SET FlashMenu first
See the first 4th line, there is a <Desktop_style Type="File" Source="ChangeMe.swf"/>, Change the "ChangeMe.swf" to a swf flash menu that you want.
Example: <Desktop_style Type="File" Source="XperienceXperia.swf"/>

Third, Once edited, SAVE YOUR NOTEPAD

Make sure it's saved. Once save, close the notepad.

Shut down your phone, Run XS++/A2Upolader and connect your phone to XS++/A2Uploader.

After you connected it, Upload your .swf file to tpa/preset/system/desktop/flash


Once done, disconnect your phone from XS++/A2Uploader.

On your phone, and connect it to the computer again(mass storage/media transfer mode)

Put the theme that you edited with into your phone

Disconnect your phone, select the theme and you're done! you got a flash menu

Method 2:

Run Theme creator, Tool->Edit XML and add the <Desktop_style Type="File" Source="flash menu here.swf"/>
Close the Theme Creator.

Shut down your phone, Run XS++/A2Upolader and connect your phone to XS++/A2Uploader.

Method 3:

Download tugzip.

Rename the theme from .thm to .tar and extract, manually edit the theme.xml file and then use tugzip to compress is as a tar again, then rename to .thm =)

[flensted]

Neither of the three ways work for me :S

Or well.. For part three, see if this is right :

Renamed from Theme.thm to Theme.tar, extracted Theme.tar with TugZip, added the FlashMenu.swf to the extracted folder, added the line

CODE

<Desktop_style Type="File" Source="FlashMenu.swf"/>

to the
***.xml file and saved it. Compressed the folder "Theme" with TugZip to Theme.tar, and renamed it to Theme.thm.

Nothing happens when i use it on my W595, what did i do wrong ?

[Snowiffic]

did you copy the .swf file to tpa/preset/system/desktop/flash ?

[flensted]

Thats the problem, i cant find tpa/preset/system/desktop/flash folder

[Snowiffic]

use A2 uploader to find that folder, it's in the W595 internal FS

[flensted]

It works !! Thanks alot to all who has helped me (devilwasabi, Mr. Thunderbird) =D

Now i can live again

[Snowiffic]

Great, glad to hear it's all working for you

[flensted]

Oh damn, in the menu i cant do anything :S ? I click select > nothing happens Can you help again ?

[Snowiffic]

Could you describe it more?

[flensted]

It shows the right theme in the menu, but when i try to go to Messages (or anything else) nothing happens, it just stays at the menu screen ?

Need more info ? If so, i'll describe it better tomorrow

[devilwasabi]

It must be a wrong flash menu, it's not compatible with your phone.

[flensted]

Well.. Do you know some that does work on my phone ? I have tried alot now, none works :S

[DaDih*]

I'm using the tugzip too but this method is good too.

What is your phone model?

[Corman]

For W595, you have to use FL 2.1 swf files; you probably have used 1.1 swf's.

[devilwasabi]

Yeap, there are specific type of flash menu your phone can only use, all the 12 icon must match in order for the flash menu to work.
