Hi, I'm new to all this modding stuff, but so far it worked ok

I have a K800, and I've used it with FAR and Jflasher to get rid of that ugly Vodafone screens and set up the generic one, and also made some acoustic and camera modifications.
I've reached some problems at the menu modification part though, and to be more precise i couldn't replace the "play now" button with the "walkman".
My question is: is this thing possible? i've started from max_wedge's menu(liked it very much) but wanted to make some modifications regarding the 1st menu, instead of the Mini Commander i wanted to have the mp3 player shortcut from the k800 (i'm using it very frequently). Please help
Thanks in advance

You should edit the menu.ml file with notepad...

Great post max (as always).
For integrating java apps in the menu.ml file keep in mind the folowing line:
"
That is the line where you need to put the app name and vendor.

im trying to change icon 6 on the menu of my k810i (flashed from k800) so that it links to eBuddy instead of the music player. the icons i've changed no problem from the music notes to the msn icon, but the link is ineffective, yet reports no errors with the menu.
i changed icon 1 from preplay to KD Player without any problems and I'm at a loss now on what im doing wrong. im using (or trying to!) eBuddy 1.0
this is the code im using:
Code:
<!-- Desktop Element 6 -->
<element lock=\"icons\" id=\"MSN\">
<label type=\"name\"><text>MSN</text></label>
<icon pos=\"unselected\" source=\"file\">msn_unselect.png</icon>
<icon pos=\"selected\" source=\"file\">msn_select.png</icon>
<icon pos=\"shortcut\" source=\"internal\">RN_SHORTCUT_LIST_MEDIAPLAYER_ICN</icon>
<link type=\"java\" javasuitename=\"eBuddy\" javasuitevendor=\"eBuddy\" javasuitepoint=\"AppMIDlet\"/>
</element>
cany anyone help?! :S
