Here is something that every SE phone user will love.
Firstly
let me warn you that playing with your phone settings is not a joke. You
should take extreme care not to mess up things. You may end up damaging
your phone beyond recovery.
OK, before you can start with you work make sure you have/satisfy the following
1.
XS++ : This is the tool which will help you to transfer your new menu
icons to your phone. If you don't have it, download it from the
resources below .
2. Menu Icons: You can do a quick Google search
for SE Menu icons and you will get lot of sites with good menu icons.
If you don't find any, download any of the below menu icons pack from my
site. These were not designed by me (Oh! yes you can design your own
menu icons using another tool which I will mention later). I don't know
who the designer is but I must say I love the designs. Download the menu
from the resouces below
3. 80 - 100 % battery charge: Make sure you battery is fully charged. (This is very important)
4. USB drivers for your phone.
6. Data cable (You can't do anything without this... Bluetooth does not help you in this)
Now here is the step by step procedure.
1.
Switch off your phone ( Yes you cannot see a live preview of your new
menu… Like DIGG says "Patience My friend is a virtue")
2. Open "XS++" and you should have something like this
3. Press "Connect" button. Leave the default settings as it is and you will see that XS++ will ask you to connect you phone.
4. Press and hold "c" in your phone and connect your phone to your PC with the USB cable (You have 30 seconds for this).
5. Xs++ will show your phone status.
6. Now select the radio button for "FSX".
7.
Press "Start FSX". XS++ will start building your phone's system
folders. This may take some time depending on your phone's model and the
amount of data you have in your memory card. Don't worry if XS++ hangs
for some time. Wait until all the folders are mapped.
8. Expand "tpa" (Click the + symbol) -> preset -> system -> menu
9.
Now you will see a list of files. The PNG files you see are the icons.
You will also see a file named menu.ml. This file has all the details
about menu icons and their links.
10. Drag and drop the icon files
which you have downloaded (Make sure you unzip the contents before
uploading). By default XS++ replaces all the files but you can delete
the existing icons manually.
11. Uploading will take some time depending upon the size of your images.
12. Once the upload is complete. Click shutdown and press "Yes" in the confirmation box.
Now disconnect your phone and switch it on.
Does it switch on? NO? OMG what have you done? Did you miss any step?
Yes! Don't worry the phone will not switch until you perform the next step.
13. Remove and reinsert the battery. Switch on your phone and have fun with your new menu icons.
As I promised earlier the link for the tool which can generate menu.ml can be found in the resources.
