ok ,i replaced the system .mbm files wich contain the icons ,but not all have been changed.
the icon pack is the G700 standard icons (i wanted the same icons ,but with a bit of colour). the organiser ,internet ,media ,settings and camera icons are the same ,though for the G700 they are slightly coloured (also checked that with MBM Tool).
what now? :-S

I think I read somewhere (not sure where exactly) that it has something to do with the language pack you are using on your phone. Most of the icon packs go together with the English language pack so if you are using Romanian in your G900 just change it to English, restart your phone and all of your menu icons should be changed after that.

Again, I repeat that this is something I read somewhere and it might not be true at all but it doesn't hurt to try.

Thanks for the help, i'll try the methods as described, hopefully it will work. I still wonder why some phones has the colored icons and some don't though.

I've encountered a problem, a simple one i suppose. How do i access the sys / resources folder on my phone? I have capswitch on OFF, but then what? Should i connect the phone in "file transfer" or "phone" mode?

I then browse the folder Phone Memory but i can't seem to find the folder where i should put the new icon files.

You need too install file managers such as Swiss Manager or Xplore on your phone and you should enable following options in them: Show ROM drives, Show system folders etc. (see the screenshots)

Swiss Manager






Xplore






First, transfer your icon files to folder Other either on the phone memory or on the memory stick using your PC, and then from Other to where they are supposed to go (probably C:\Resource\Apps) using Swiss Manager or Xplore.

I changed my G900 icon few weeks ago.. this is my screen B)

u can copy the original mbm and rsc files form z:\resource\apps and change the bmp inside the mbm files. Edit the path of mbm in rsc file and point it to c:\resource\apps. Copy all mbm and rsc to c:\resource\apps and use SMP to reclaim memory. Done!

File you should modify: (9 icons)

Agenda_loc.RSC - path of calendar icon
ALaunchIcon.mbm - organizer & entertainment icon
ALaunch_loc.RSC - path of organizer & entertainment icon
CallLogApp.mbm - call log icon
CallLogApp_loc.RSC - path of call log icon
Contacts_loc.RSC - path of contacts icon
default_agenda_icon.mbm - calendar icon
default_contacts_icon.mbm - contacts icon
Default_Opera_Icon.mbm - Internet icon
default_qmapp_icon.mbm - messaging icon
default_secamera_icon.mbm - camera icon
MediaCenterAppIcon.mbm - media icon
MediaCenter_loc.RSC - path of media icon
qctrlpnl_icon.mbm - settings icon
QCtrlPnl_Loc.RSC - path of settings icon
qmapp_loc.RSC - path of messaging icon
secamera_loc.RSC - path of camera icon
Web_loc.RSC - path of Internet icon

RSC is the default english language. You can refer to this table for your language. e.g. You may find *.R03 in your phone. 03 is DE language. If you are using english, you don't have to worry about this part. If you are using other language, just simply copy the RSC to Rxx and modify the path inside.

Hi.
Whenever I do this, it's only two of the buttons that changes. I'm pretty sure I've done everything correct, but someone who have tried the same, and what did you do?
I would be great if someone could help me ^^

that´s because you are not using the icon pack for your language

most of the icon packs available are for english, if you have that they should work fully

Oh. So I can't change the icon pack itself, but have to change my phone language for it to work? I works almost if I change the language to english, but there's still two of the icons that doesn't change at all. "Camera" and "media", if that makes a difference.
If I can change it to work with danish, I'd like to know. ^^
Well, thank you anyway : D

you can check your z:\\resource\\apps and see if any *.rxx where xx is a number e.g. 30 for chinese, and I believe 07 is danish. You can copy that file to c:\\resource\\apps and edit the path inside the file. By the way, have you restarted your mobile after change the icon? I will suggest you to use smp and reclaim the memory. In case anything went wrong, your mobile won't become brick with smp reclaim.
