NOOB Guide to Backing up/ Installing Theme Manager/adding themes and changing F/W

[MiSTABeAT]

Thanks for the great tutorial! I Successfully backed UP MY KU990 so i now know that I have nothing to worry about

There is one thing I really Don't understand (which I have shown in red text in the quote below)

For installing as a standalone theme to the phones memory
Basically the only differences to the method above is that when you copy "theme_bg2.swf" into the "theme" folder, you also copy the "themes" folder from TM in the bottom right section into the "theme" folder aswell, instead of the memory card. Once copied, open the Themelist.txt in the "Themes" folder you just added and change the locations from "0" to "1" so that TM knows to look in the phones memory for the themes.

How are you opening files for editing from inside EPS?? I have right clicked and edit is not an option.

Perhaps the last thing you wrote should have been the first thing I did? Lol

EDIT: on seconds thought you probably never meant for me to edit it from within EPS but edit it is manually then re send it to the phone. --> It worked.. although I am puzzled as to why I can only get 11 Themes to show up in theme manager!

11 is better than 3.. I won't give up trying to figure out why..

Thank you very much!!!

Cheers

EDIT: I can't belive what I said above.. it is 11 pages of 5 LOL.. Feel quite dumb now

Ok, i followed the following steps given in the first post in this thread:

First, on your pc's desktop, create a new folder by right clicking in an empty space and choose new - folder, name this LGAPP or something that you will remember.
Now open the EFS program, but don't connect your phone yet. You will see a large empty screen with an "explore" button on the top bar, press this.
A smaller empty box will open in the middle, click cancel on this one.
You will notice that the screen is now split into 4 sections. In the bottom half is your Pc's files, the top half will show your phones files once we are connected.
In the bottom left section, find your desktop where you saved the new file that you named before. Open the desktop folder and then open the newly named file, the bottom right section should be empty.
Now, put your phone into "Data mode" by going to Settings-Phone settings-Connectivity-USB connection mode-Data mode. Return to the home screen.
Now on EFS close the first window so you are back to the empty screen with the explore button at the top. Click "explore" again, the small empty box will reappear.
Now when you connect your phone you will have about 3 seconds to tick the box that appears in the top left of the small box and then hit connect in the bottom right of the small box. If a warning appears and says something about a port, just disconnect and reconnect your phone.
Once connected you will see your phones files in the top half of the screen.
Make sure that the bottom half is still showing the folder you named earlier.
In the top half, right click LGAPP and click re-name, LGAPP(text) should turn blue. Now type TOTO and click in an empty space until it is no longer blue
Right click TOTO and choose refresh. This enables you to copy the protected files in your phone

After the last part, mine doesn't show the yellow screen nor does it disconnect.


What am i doing wrong?

[Bassist]

Ah solved it. I was waiting for the yellow screren, but i didn't get one, nor did the phone disconnect itself.
Firmware backed up. Phew! . Much thanks and appreciation to the OP.
