Okay. I have a question/problem.

I have removed the SE links from all the video, sound, theme folders according to the instructions given in this thread briefly described here: remove all the files/folders in custmenu then, the respective .itm files in custom folder. Now, the SE links disappear.

BUT at the same time, the PLAYNOW menu icon in the main menu has changed to another sony ericsson icon (not seen anywhere before) and it had a label "Sony Ericsson" first. I guess it's just a link to SE. But peculiar thing is that after I have loaded the data comm. and internet settings to the phone, the icon's label changed to "Video World". I have no idea what that means. I dont' want to try because it seems to take me to somewhere via internet and I haven't subscribed to any data plan and I don't want to pay for any per byte fees just to see what that "Video World" leads me to.

So, it seems that I removed the SE links and then created another yet annoying and useless menu icon.

My question is: (i) any way to get back the PlayNow icon and link (the same useless but at least it doesn't look as stupid as having a "Video World" menu on a cell phone.
(ii) any way to change that useless menu icon to something useful such as say "multimedia files", "memory stick drive" or "opera mini" etc?

Any pointers/advice will be very much appreciated. I am tempted to revert back to the SE links thing....

Below is the screenshot of that "Video World" icon (top left hand one, originally PlayNow button). Note I did NOT touch the menu.ml or the main menu. And I have NO access to internet. It's in the phone already when I removed the SE links.




Edit: Okay. I found out how to retrieve that useless PlayNow icon and link. I put the Content_hook folder and the relevant .itm file back to the original place and it's back there.

Update: I successfully changed the useless PlayNow button to something more "useful". I have wanted to link the icon to my Pictures folder but I couldn't get the correct link name after several attempts. So, I link it to my Applications. At least, better than PlayNow, imo.

It seems that what we see from FAR about the internal file system is not all in the phone. I still find something missing. E.g. I cannot locate the link source "internal" in menu.ml. Maybe some have already been compiled and not in "code" language or it's hardcoded in the hardware? Sorry for my naivete. I am not a programmer of any sort. This is just my wild guess.

Here is the screenshot of my replaced "PlayNow" icon linking to Applications (top lefthand one) in the main menu. Yeah, I changed some of the menu icons to iCandy Junior ones .

internal refers to tags in the main flash. You can't edit them via fs, and would need to be a programmer to patch main firmware.

Perhaps you can find them as text strings using a hexeditor, I haven't tried.

Hi all !

If i patch my K750 with patchs provided with FAR/plugin, is it possible to undo the changes? How to proceed?

I've seen a patch gdfs to fix battery problem ? Which problem?

What about the Radio without handsfree ? Did signal sensitivity decrease?

The patch to get the java folder unprotected, does it move the location of the folder to the mem card? Will i loose all my app.?

Hi there

I have a W800 and i just want to change the MMS maximum size limit from 100 kb till 300 kb. Everybody says they have done it but I've read all the 69 pages in this thread and all I can find is how to increase the SMS memory.

Please help me!

Even if you increase it, if the operator limits the size it just means you will end up with the mms sitting in the outbox for then failing because the size is too big for the operator.

Usually the handset is limited by operator customisation to whatever the operator allows, to avoid the issue of unsent mms messages.

If you are sure youer operator allows 300Kb, then you can change the limit in customize.xml, then do master reset.

Change this code to whatever your operator supports:
Code:
<mms>
<message-max-size>600</message-max-size>
<message-server>http://(EDIT: put your mms server address here)/</message-server>
<wap-profile>Optus MMS</wap-profile>
</mms>

In my case changing mms_sett in tpa/system/messaging/mms and in tpa/preset/default to 300 did work perfectly without having to do a master reset, only reboot your phone and enjoy!
