You can, but without a backup, if you do something wrong you will be screwed.

Some people would call us noobs for not knowing others would point us in the general direction to find the tutorial...


Anyways after finding out how to do it and then completing it myself i realised how easy it is to do.

As a result of this i have decided to create a "simple as" walkthrough that everyone can understand

What Will I Need?

One Viewty...
One USB Cable....
EFS Media Builder...
Theme Manager v3.0...(i used v2.6 but this is the new one)

Where Can I Get These?

Wel i hope you have the phone and usb cable yourself otherwise theres no point in reading this lol

Theme Manger ..... http://kuntz.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/thememanager3.0.rar

EFS Media Builder ..... http://rs78.rapidshare.com/files/315...6.rar:116ywrgv

(click the "free" button and youl be able to download then"

Backing Up Your Phone

http://www.ku990.co.uk/forum/showthr...ghlight=backup

there is a list of back up firmwares for the viewty..(there is a thread about backing up the phone but iv lost it if you dont make a backup you can use one of these (must be the same network as yours...im on orange so i would use the orange firmware)

this link here shows u how to do the TOTO version of backing up your phone. (your phone has to be in data mode to connect to EFS)

http://mcassen.free.fr/How%20to%20ba...ty%20files.pdf

Loading Theme Manager v3.0 to phone via EFS. it is best to save theme manager to the yout memory card as it saves room on the phone then.

Your phone has to be in data mode to connect to EFS

Load u efs simply by double clickin the program ...window should look like this..



then you need to connect your phone, press efs exploring in the top right corner and youl get a screen like this...



click the box in at the top of the new screen and then click connect ( it refreshes every 5secs to dont take your time)

1) Using EFS Media Builder navigate to "LGAPP/Media/swf/".

2) Drag and Drop "widget2.swf", "widget4.swf" and any custom NYX files to this location. (this bit i didnt do, it just lets you alter things like the clocks)

3) Now with EFS navigate to "LGAPP/Media/swf/theme".

4) Drag and Drop "theme_bg2.swf" to this location.

5) Click Disconnect and press YES at the pop-up, then close efs

Once the Viewty reboots disconnect the usb cable....

4) Change from "Data Mode" to "Mass Storage Mode" on the Viewty by going to the relevant options on the handset.

5) Once in mass storage mode connect to the PC via the usb again and open up the memory card folder. (should pop up automaticaly on most pcs)

6) Drag and Drop the "Themes" folder onto the Memory Card/Removable Storage.

7) Disconnect phone from PC and go through the handset options and activate the Silver theme (2nd from top).

8) Navigate though the handset options and activate the Dual Clock (this bit im assuming is to do with the editing of clocks, although i dont do this)

Now Once this has all been done you can disconnect the phone and set the themes...how?

Loading Theme

Double press the "C" button (between the green call and the red endcall buttons on your phone"

this brings up the themes manager menu. use the left/right arrows to move

Themes menu...shows u the list of themes you can use.

Clocks menu...brings up the clocks that you can use

Settings menu...modify certain things on the themes, like swappin between colourd or black icons.

To close the themes manager simply press "C" twice again.


And Thats its!!!

any problems with the themes you will need to post in the theme manager thread


Disclaimer....incase anyone says. i comprissed this tutorial using information from other threads and tutorials. it is easier to have it all in one place for people to see. thanks for all your hard work in creating the themes, tutorial on the programs etc etc

Well it worked !!! Thanksss mate....
