daviiiiiid
Hey all! I currently have a white w810i r4ea031 (china) ... my friend put it on china.. but yeah im gonna have it changed back to america soon.

Im trying to get bunch of modifications on my phone but theyre just too much all over the place.
like.. patches, elves, drivers etc..

I'll list some of them down here:

1: In standby mode: battery %, bigger clock
2: Themes: flash themes, ability for flash backgrounds, a thread where i can find bunch of these themes.. like one with a huge clock on it would be great.
3: I wanna know how to remove the operator name and add whatever I want with those cool fonts ( http://img108.imageshack.us/img108/4166/scr211125xt4.png ) and pretty much change font everywhere.
4: I want to have a smaller font when i check my font status so it fits all in one page without having to scroll.
5: (Do lighteffects work on w810's? I heard they dont)
6: Im looking for the best acoustic/camera drivers.
7: change the look of my media player
8: change some of the graphics
9: be able to change the brightness down to 10%

And some tutorials to follow all these..

I already found a few patches that i found interesting in the w810 patches thread.

If somebody has the time to help me with these it would be really nice! Thanks!!

Hi there. Check wally_dogs guide (link in my signature) most of what you want is possible:

1: In standby mode: battery %, bigger clock - use logo changer elf
2: Themes: flash themes, ability for flash backgrounds, a thread where i can find bunch of these themes.. like one with a huge clock on it would be great. - I dont know where to find them so you search lol.gif
3: I wanna know how to remove the operator name and add whatever I want with those cool fonts ( http://img108.imageshack.us/img108/4166/scr211125xt4.png ) and pretty much change font everywhere. - That to me looks like theyve used a couple of elves (ones I know they have: logo changer, desktop/standby elf) oh and a sysgfx patch to change the battery icons, signal and the smilies
4: I want to have a smaller font when i check my font status so it fits all in one page without having to scroll. - theres a few patches around for that
5: (Do lighteffects work on w810's? I heard they dont) - youve heard correctly as these are mainly for db2020 as far as Im aware (k800 etc)
6: Im looking for the best acoustic/camera drivers. Search for sarmad 6 for camera and black ice accoustics (Ive uploaded both to wally_dogs guide)
7: change the look of my media player - sysgfx patch
8: change some of the graphics - same answer as above
9: be able to change the brightness down to 10% - um, menu, settings, display, brightness (though it may be network locked, but a flash to genric will defo sort it)

You are awesome my man!
I will first have to learn how to apply elves.. i only know how to apply patches for now

do i NEED bookmanager or .. something like that?
what does that even do.. its like an on off switch of elves?

4: what would be the keywords to find these patches


what i need then is
sysgfx patch
sarmad 6 and black ice drivers
logo changer elf
maybe desktop/standby elf

9: hmm mine only goes from 50 to 100 sad.gif


thanks again!!!
daviiiiiid
one more! how do i make custom splash screens smile.gif thanks

To elf you must patch an elf pack and an elf lib (explained better by thugz_mafia's tut on elf installation in the tut forum)

Slight mistake on my first reply: its defo not desktop (Im sorry) its standby
Bookmanger is another elf: its up to you whether you use it or not, but it can turn off elves (not that it turns my elves off - logo changer, desktop, file manager, keyCode,Screenshooter and sudoku)

I would post my elves and patches but Ive wiped them off my computer (thats a diffferent matter, but I had about 50 elves on my pc)

But I seem to recall that I uploaded a patches pack (inc sysgfx) (just before I wiped all my phone stuff off my pc) onto wallys guide: http://forums.se-nse.net/index.php?showtop...5779&st=240

And heres a post with a load of patches on: here

cool i found the elf tutorial
W810/Z550/W550/W600/K770/K790/K800/K810/W830/W850/W660:
Create a folder "ZBin" in "Other"( in phone memory and also in memory stick) and then a folder "Config"( in "ZBin" in phone memory) and another folder "Daemons" (in "ZBin"in memory stick).
Put the "DYN_CONST.bin" file in "Config" folder ( in ZBin in phone memory).
Put all elfs in the "ZBin" folder (phone memory).
Put those elfs in "Daemons" folder"(in memory stick) which you want to start with your phone(they'l start when your phone turns on) .


For the sysgfx.. i just cant figure out how to edit the code to change the images.. i just know how to apply it.

I just downloaded the w810 elfpack with elfpack/lib/dyn_const.lib
thats done
i got the sysgfx thats done
i got all the other patches i want
i got both sarmad and i chose another acoustic driver.. knet one...
cchaos
Create in your other folder (in phone memory) a folder called gfx

When you have patched that to your phone, upload the GFX images you want to replace to this folder (it can be done via file transfer mode as well) (note: not for splash screen, startup or shutdown)

Just make sure that the images you upload to the phone are in a PNG format ie e***.png

Its the elf pack that needs to be edited before patching (it asks something about the replacement of graphics (sysgfx)) but theres only four lines that need a ; in front of a load of characters
daviiiiiid
Alright thanks alot!

and yeah i saw in your profile.. this is not related to this but yeha...

i just bought off ebay 2 housings.. one red w810 and one red k750

i wanted to make my phone red (holiday spirit wink.gif) and it looks nice and i wanted the k750 back.

Ive seen many people do it and it looks real nice

I have difficulty iwht text tutorials and the only good video tutorial i found was on youtube and it was in chinese... we COULD figure just by looking at the images but do I really have to take out all the hardware pieces and like.. theres some kind of small metal prong i dont know what that is but it all looks pretty meticulous.

If you have some tips and tricks about modding my w810 for a k750 back cover wink.gif

Thanks!
cchaos
Well, theres a tut that takes apart a k750 in the hardware modding section (but if the k750 is working, be extra careful not to break the camera switch on the k750)

And you dont need to take the whole phone apart just to take off the back cover: take the battery cover off on the w810. See those cross head screws? All you have to do is unscrew them, unclip the sides and top and its off. Pop the new cover on, rescrew the screws and enjoy smile.gif its the same for the k750, but it tells you how to avoid breaking the switch
daviiiiiid
no well what im trying to do is exactly like you wink.gif
w810. + back cover k750

yeah .. the problem is im trying to completely change the housing.. i also want to change the front.. thats why im gonna have to take off everything.. im also gonna change the system connector cuz mine is half defective now.. i just got it from cnn.cn .. my 2 housings should be here by tomorrow or the end of the week! laugh.gif

Reedddd.

and i read somewhere.. when you take the w810 and add a k750 back cover.. you have to cut off some plastic part somewhere.. is that correct? thanks

Ah to change it all you will need a t6 tork screwdriver

As for cutting off some plastic on a k750 case, I havent need to
daviiiiiid
thanks a lot, i'll be back if i have any more questions
daviiiiiid
Hmm reading the w810 service manual, it says REMOVED SCREWS CANNOT BE REUSED for the t6 screws.. is that true? if so how do i put it back together?

EDIT: Starting new thread in hardware section. I will come back to this one when it wil have to do with firmware

Hi ive been reading the SE w810 service manual.

it says that the t6 screws cannot be reused is that correct?

what I want to do is just fully change the housing... because i currently have a white w810 and i ordered two housings one red w810 and one red k750. the w810 for most of it and k750 for the back.

I also bought a system connector that i will have to replace.
I see this is 3.20 on the guide.. do i really have to go through ALL those steps to get to the system connector?

and for the housing too.. do I HAVE to remove ALL those pieces to change the front?

thanks!
Mattwood
You can re-use the screws as often as you want. I'm not 100% clued up on the W810 (an not able to download the manual to have a look at the moment)

for just a front case swap AFAIK it is similar to the K750/W800, remove the rear screws, and pop it off - you do not need to mess with the internals of the handset unless you are going to change the main body of the housing.

I will have a look at the manual later to see if I need to change anything - lot of W810 users on here who maybe able to help before then.

*also think that the front housing must stay as W810 as the K750/W800 do not fit.
daviiiiiid
Well I think it is in fact a full body housing change...
Here are the links to the ebay items i purchased:
http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewIt...em=350134007688
http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewIt...em=350136987414


and the front will stay w810 yes. but i will change the color with the one I just bought. and add a k750 back

and after you check the manual, just see how I could just swap the system connector and if i can skip some steps like.. the camera etc.. im not sure about all this.
and if the download doesnt work because of the site or something i uploaded it on my host:
http://www.dn514.com/upload/files/1/w810%20manual.pdf
if its an internet problem.. than i guess nevermind

Thats rubbish. If thats the case my w810 should be falling apart lol.gif Ive taken mine apart loads of times
daviiiiiid
haha alright. I just have to be careful when im gonna change the full housing then.

Topics Merged
daviiiiiid
Hi matt. well i wanted to make this topic more in the hardware section because what im trying to do now is hardware related. now that you merged both threads, theyre now in the firmware section and it wont give any update on the hardware page..
could you just do the samething but inverse the main thread to the hardware section?

thanks!

(and let me know when you get to read the guide etc.)
daviiiiiid
Oh and what are the programs I will need to do all this?

XS++
.. usb drivers.. ? (which)
etc.. ?
daviiiiiid
Oh.. and if I wanted to do it myself...

How would I do to change firmware from R4EA031 China to R4EA031 America (or is it america_2)
I tried posting about this a few months ago but no answer.

thanks
cchaos
Seach for XS++ in R and D forum (3.1 for windows)

Usb drvers: download here, run the exe (it will extract the wanted drivers to your hard disk) then connect your phone with the sim out, memory stick out and with the battery in but phone turned off. It should find a smec flash (and should have a question mark around it). Tell windows where the files are the exe extracted and it should install them from that. Before that though backup contacts etc etc to pc using my phone explorer/pc suite

China to america: What main did you use? If you used a china main flash your phone to genric main r4ea031. I dont know what the difference is between america_1 or america_2 as I havent used them. The FS is r4ed001. Most people will say this dont match but this is the right fs version for the phone (see wally_dogs guide - link in my signature). What Ive talked about in this post assumes your phone is CID49 (erom colour) red

Well hardware wise, I just recieved my red w810 housing!! and it looks great, had some trouble.. screen wouldnt stay in place.. but then i fixed it.. its kind of.. not centered so great but its ok

but yeah.. i gotta change the firmware now ;D

and yeah.. still gotta change my k750 back . shoudl come on monday smile.gif

but yeah for FS and MAIN.. which do you recommend??

Im willing to take any.. but I thought america would be convenient but I usually see everything is for r43a031

just want to get the best one.
cchaos
China main means no patching so use these:

Main - http://iprotebe.cz/download-W810_R4EA031_M...ip-file284.html

FS: you can use america_1 - download here - US English - Canadian French - Latin American Spanish
Or you can use america_2 - Download here - US English - Brazilian Portuguese - Latin American Spanish

Use the matching america custom pack from XS++ 3.1 eg america_1 if you use the america1 one

Patching: Find setool2lite (complete with REST files: either 1.08 or 1.11 will do but I cannot stress how important it is to have the rest files, "dead phone" will ocur if you dont have the right rest files for it (though you can fix it by doing a reflash)

Use wally_dogs guide to help you smile.gif

I hope this helps
daviiiiiid
yeah i was wondering.. since the Main is r4ea, the fs is r4ed. still works ok?

ok ill try that

HARDWARE: I was wonderin if anybody knows if it is possible to change the keyboard light color? other phones have a basic lighter color so cellophane works fine but this shoots directly orange
cchaos
Ive tried the sweet wrappers trick and it never worked.

I think the only way to change the light colour is by changing the leds themselves as far as Im aware - not reallly recommend for a newbie

Unless Ive missed something and theres now different coloured keyboards
daviiiiiid
yeah I tried looking for something like.. w810 key light or something.. no luck.. oh well ill do it without..

I got a video of my modded phone wink.gif
