I've had the SE G900 for a while now and i'm quite happy with it. However, the main menu icons are blue/grey and looks really dull. I've seen pictures of the phone with more colorfull icons, like on the P1.

Since the icons are not affected by the themes, how would i go about changing them?

I'll attach pictures to clarify.




Also, when choosing the standby programs, is there a way to replace the default shortcut icons?

If you want to change your icons then google "modding gapata".
Gapata is famous for porting G900 Notes application to other UIQ3 phones but he also has many mods which include different icon packs.

I guess that you will have to hack your G900 first (if you haven't done that already), it is very easy with the latest version of Caps Switch by sw mail, you can find it here

go into settings - display - standby application -
set it to business,save - go back to the standby screen
i believe now you can change the icons in business mode(which is p1i's standard - so it should work the same with g900 'business set'(as you can not change the panel icons,unless less modding-which possibly will work)
lataz and happy hunting

Capabilities should be switched OFF if you want to paste files into C:\resources\Apps. If capabilities are ON, you can neither add files to system folders nor delete anything from them.

Run CapsSwitch on your phone and press "Switch" - you should get a message like this


Now that capabilities are switched OFF, you can paste your files to C:\resources\Apps.

To tell you the truth, I haven't yet tried to mod icons on my P1 but if you are using icons by gapata, you need to do this:


"to get the default look back, u need to delete the following files from C:\\Resource\\Apps folder:

Agenda_loc.RSC
ALaunch_loc.RSC
AlaunchIcon.mbm
CallLogApp.mbm
CallLogApp_loc.RSC
Contacts_loc.RSC
default_agenda_icon.mbm
default_contacts_icon.mbm
default_opera_icon.mbm
default_qmapp_icon.mbm
mediaplayer_loc.RSC
MediaPlayerAppIcon.mbm
qctrlpnl_icon.mbm
QCtrlPnl_Loc.RSC
qmapp_loc.RSC
Tele_loc.RSC
teleapp.mbm
WalkmanPlayer_loc.RSC
WalkmanPlayerAppIcon.mbm
Web_loc.RSC"


Before deleting these files, you have to switch capabilities OFF in CapsSwitch.
If capabilities are ON, you won't be able to delete them.
