Well, like i said in other posts, the boom right now is the access to protected folders, thing that enable to do a lot of modifications on the phones, and one of them is to change the menu icons. Today we are going to learn how to change those icons.
First of all we need to have access to the protected folders on our phone, if you haven´t do yet you can view a little tutorial HERE!
After you can access to the protected folders, you are going to follow the next steps:
- Download the next icon package, this is a package extracted from WALKMAN 3.0 style by B.U.S.T.E.R. , it contains all the icons for the menu and the icons of the standby screen: ICONS PACKAGE.
- Extract the files and put on the memory stick of your phone, any ubication.
- Open Swiss Manager Pro (before that open CapsSwitch that you installed in the tutorial about how to access UIQ protected folders and press the button Switch to read a message that says “Caps are switched OFF”) and go to the folder where you have the files of the icon package.
- Copy all the files and go to C:\Resource\Apps\ and paste the files in that folder. Probably it appears you some messages that says “ALaunchIcon.mbm will be overwritten” and you press YES to those messages.
- That is!!! In some situations, when you open the Main menu you will see the changes inmediately, if not you can do 2 things: In Swiss Manager Pro go to “Task” nail, and here search for an application called Main menu (to view that application you have to configure SMP to view all the applications, even the system applications, the steps are in the article HOW TO CONFIGURE SWISS MANAGER PRO) select the application with the cursor and press the button to kill application, then go to the standby screen and press the access to the Main menu; or you can restart your phone and see the changes.

What theme on a photo? Throw off, please… lanhorn@rambler.ru
Dig
I cannot get there, there is no access to the reference
Dig
And these icons only for P990i?
Dig
I wish to lay out these icons, it is desirable with a theme and a font on the Russian site devoted UIQ. You could not send all it to me on the electronic address? I in turn shall give the reference to your site and your coordinates and I shall throw off this reference to you for acknowledgement.
Elderra
Hi! Alter it’s icons for P1i, please
uiq
Noize MC, you can find the theme in this blog, the name is Debian Etch, just go to the right category pane and click on “visual styles” and here you can look all the visual styles created by me, including Debian Etch, and Elderra, sorry but i can’t do that because i don’t have a P1i and there’s no money to buy one ;-(

PyComputing
Dear friend, i have a problem, i use all here, but the icons of multimedia, mesages, calendar and phonebook, dont change, why, thanks,
i have se p990i
uiq
Hmm, do you put the files on C: or D:? because if you put the files on D: you only can change some icons.
uiq
Sorry, maybe you’re confused because i have wrote bad the target folder, the folder is C:\Resource\apps\
pokeh
bau tai, where u’r new post??
renesis
Tengo el mismo problema que PyComputing.
Los iconos de Mensajeria, Multimedia, Calendario y Contactos no cambiaron…y segui tu manual de cabo a rabo y ademas lo hice dos veces y nada.
uiq
Is a little bit strange that it doesn’t works for you renesis and pycomputing. Well try to do the same but in C: and D: also, maybe it works of that way.
Intenten sustituyendo tambien en D: del mismo modo que como lo hicieron en C: yo tratare de repetir el proceso de nuevo para ver si me falla aunque es algo extraño porque el paquete lo cree de los archivos que extrje de mi telefono.

I’ve got the same problem with PyComputing, multimedia, mesages, calendar and phonebook icons do not change, and on the standby screen, only the main menu icon has changed. I also have a P990. What do we do?
mode
My main menu icons are fine now, just had to reboot the phone, but the icons on the standby menu (minus activity menu and main menu) still haven’t changed and I’ve tried copying the file to D:/resource to no avail. Lastly, where do I get the files for you bottom taskbar icons? They’re really nice, and oh, excellent work on the tutorials, God bless
uiq
Well mode, the only icon that i couldn’t change is the activity menu icon from the standby screen, i have tried a ot of things but nothing.
traxter
After installing the menu icons, everything went well except that now I can’t access my Media Player, the prompt “folder not found” keeps appearing everytime I try to open it. I can’t live without my mediaplayer. If you happened to make a backup, hope you can share it for us who didn’t
uiq
Well, unfortunately i didn’t a backup. But, just for ask, you tried to install walkman or something like that? I ask you because when the first time that i tried to install WALKMAN 2.0 on my phone probably i didn’t do a step of the right way and i have exactly that problem. Also probably you delete some file relationed with that.
traxter
Yes, I have installed Walkman 2.0, but my Media Player stopped functioning right after I changed the menu icons. I didn’t delete anything at all, in fact when I transferred the menu icon files to the C:Resourceappsfolder, i wasn’t even asked if I would like to overwrite any files
poncho
mira yo tengo una pregunta va ya cambie los iconos pero los iconos de reproductor,contactos,mensages y calendario sigen iguales no cambiaron y si pegue todos los archivos si me podrias alludar te lo agradeceria gracias

I managed to change the menu icons on my W960 using the pack you left on your first post, but the Web icon and the WALKMAN icon did not change, I know that pack is for P1 and that should be the cause…can anyone guide me to make them all work on my W960??? Greetings from Colombia!!!
