using FAR? Check your files you copied to the PC (if you used FAR), they have all zero byte in size!

Well, I've been doing some FSX operations:

Remove Online Content links within File Manager:
You can remove the links at the top of each media folder in the file manager. These links mean there is one less item viewable on screen and if you don't use them they can go.
Delete these files

/tpa/preset/system/custmenu/FM_PICTURES_HOOK_3/FM_PICTURES_HOOK_3.xml
/tpa/preset/system/custmenu/FM_SOUNDS_HOOK_3/FM_SOUNDS_HOOK_3.xml

I haven't deleted or changed those things I want to back up first (for example my menu.ml file) that I can't get elsewhere. I want to backup customize.xml and menu.ml so that I can edit customize.cml for "suppress camera sound" setting, and change menu structure in menu.ml.

Change Startup and Shutdown graphics:
Start up and shutdown graphics can be any 240x320 image. I used jpg's, other's may be suported. The file must have a specific name with no file extension. Here are the locations of the graphics on your phone, and the namesthe file should have (note their are no file extensions on the files):
/tpa/preset/system/settings/SHUTDOWN_IMAGE_SEMC
/tpa/preset/system/settings/SPLASH
/tpa/preset/system/settings/STARTUP_IMAGE_SEMC

delete locked content:
Delete the content using FAR that you can't delete in File Manager. The locations of the various OEM content is as follows:
Games: /tpa/preset/system/ams/
Music: /tpa/user/music, /tpa/user/music/ringtones
Pitcures: /tpa/user/picture
Video: /tpa/user/video
Theme: /tpa/user/theme

hi guys,

im new here and im having a hard time figuring out how FAR MANAGER works. looks complicated to me, i dont even know how to load my k800i in it.

can you guys give me a basic step step by step procedure on how to make this work? from there i will be able to work it out, thanks!

what i have right now is FAR 1.70 installer, the sefp plugin, i also sx 1.6.8. am i missing something?

thanks, really appreciate the help! =) im tried to look for a guide but all i see is for k750i, w800i etc

xs++ and far/sefp are two different things (actually three).

Far Manager is a dos program for mounting file systems

SEFP is a plug-in for FAR that allows SE File Systems to be mounted

XS++ is another way altogether, using a graphical UI. XS++ may be easier for beginners, but FAR allows you to browse the file system as well as modify it.

To use the FAR/SEFP combo, install far manager and extract tyhe SEFP plugin into the "plugin" folder in FAR.


You can learn here how to use FAR and SEFP:
http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=125323

but keep in mind that thread is old and while they say only cid36 is supported, that's no longer the case. CID51/52 and K800 etc are all supported.
