Probably the easiest way would be to make the W800 software look like the K750, then you would have the best of both worlds (Walkman Player, Flight Mode) but also have the activity menu (sort of).


K750i activity menu


W800i more shortcuts menu

There isn't that much difference between the K750's "activity" menu and the W800's "more shortcuts" if you forget about "New Events" (does anyone even use it? I prefer the pop ups personally) and "Bookmarks" (You can find these in "Internet Services").

So, probably the easiest way to have the best of both (to make the W800 software suit the K750 housing in my case) would be to swap the functions of the "up" shortcut (more shortcuts) and the /activity key (Walkman Player) on the W800's firmware. Then it'd work like th K750 with the added bonus of Flight Mode and Walkman Player.

I've only just started playing with FAR manager, so I don't have a clue how to implement what I've suggested, but I'm sure someone who knows what they're doing could.

yes it could be done, however I do still prefer the full activity menu. For example "more" often gets hijacked whereas activity button is always activity button.

Yeah, obviously full activity menu is better, and if someone can figure out how to rip it, that'd be great, but I think swapping "up" and is an acceptable alternative.

It's a good idea, and will suit some down to the ground. As I said it's still not enough for my own preference - I still won't be updating to w800 (aka flight mode and walkman media player) until I can have the proper activity menu.

@max_wedge: Great work, man!
I hate everything that has something to do with Voda (I'm with another op), but my K750i (second hand bought) is branded.. well, I think I can say it was branded, since most of the limitations are gone (and without reflashing ).
By the way, a Master Reset Settings only wasn't enough in my case, I had to do a Full MR.



I was restoring the activity menu, and I came up with some customizations that can be useful for every Voda-branded user:

Code:<enable-ringtoneplayer-mp3>true</enable-ringtoneplayer-mp3>

and

Code:<enable-mediaplayer-aac>true</enable-mediaplayer-aac>

Guess what they are used for?

I somewhat managed to remove the shotdown image, but I don't remember what I changed.... sorry


=== EDIT ===
OK, tested and working, it requires a FULL Master Reset.

Hi, is this possible with am se v600i? Could the mini-usb cable be used as dcu-60 is for w800/k750. Also would this type of modification be: 1- picked up by seus? 2- be breaking the warranty? This message was posted from a T65

Update: it is also possible to remove the demo games, they are located in
/tda/preset/system/ams

look for file names similar to what you want to remove (Block_breaker_demo or similar, for example). There are three to five files for each game.

Very nice. I love W800. I hate having no activity menu though....
