Do i have to copy the file using x terminal? How do i access - /user/share/themes/YOURTHEME/images/ApplicationShorcutApplet.png

Thanks for bearing with me, i'm still very much learning.

Apologies for clogging up the thread with this noob query.

hehe not a problem...

Backup program will copy all your user settings, in the event of a flash needed, everything goes back to factory settings if you do emmc too (see wiki - flasher)
When you restore it will ask you to re-install all the apps you had before + the settings....

i use winscp to copy the files (Over my home wireless) - that may take alittle bit of learning

Back to the wikis and get my thinking cap on.

I did stumble across this article which explains it in detail if its of any help to anyone else? (hope thats not breaking any forum rules to link to)

Cheers for your help monkeyman! I'm sure we'll cross paths again in the future when i need more help with something very simple to someone like yourself.

i think you will be ok, winscp - is fine - i am new to linux, and it took me 10 mins to get it working.

I'd suggest before trying new things that you know how to flash your device and restore

- that way when you really need to do it, you will be comfortable

Next stage will be getting to grips with reflashing before attempt anything else i think!

Cheers again, have bookmarked those links so i can come back and review at a later date.

Good luck - theres always people on here to assist if needed, or on irc D:, and if you find any useful guides etc - feel free to post links etc

edit - you can use joiku to let your pc use your phones connection wirelessly

(Battery drain though!)

- Application background hidden
- Custom battery icon

Main view

Web view

Entertainment view

Is there a similar tutorial for replacing bookmarks with icons or can you inform me of the process involved please?

All you have to do is swap the PNG images that represent bookmarks with your own custom images. You can find png files in ~/.bookmarks/home-thumbnails

I found the instructions from here

What i did to get rid of the borders for the desktop shortcuts was:
start x-terminal
type root
cd /user/share/themes/THEMENAME/images/
and then only renamed the file
ApplicationShorcutApplet.png to ApplicationShorcutApplet.png.old with the mv-command
after that rebooted the phone...

Thank you!

My Desktops look much better now.

Can you tell me which file i have to rename so it will work with the bookmarks as well?
