! MAKE A OWN THEME !
If u dont have a PC but u want2
make your own theme 4your
Nokia s40 phone, here is a great
news 4u. After trying 4a long time
finally I've succeed to make
themes(.nth) in a s40 phone
without a PC. Now I will share the
process with you. To get started you must have two
java applications in your mobile
named Jzipman and
MobyExplorer. If u dont have
these applications, download
them from here.[ JZipMan.jar ]
[ MobyExplorer ]
Now follow the steps stated
below one by one carefully.
Step1 : Make a copy of any theme
of your mobile using
MobyExplorer and paste it in a
new folder(any name). Then
change the extension of the
theme from NTH to ZIP.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Step2 : Open/select that pasted
theme with the JZIPMAN . It will
show a list of files with check
boxes. Now from the option
menu choose SELECT ALL and then
press the EXTRACT button. It will
take some time. After it finishes,
close the JZIPMAN and go to that
new folder and u will see many
images,some tones,some
unsupported files are there.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Step3 : Identify the wallpaper,
tone, background image,
screensaves etc from that folder
which are used in that theme.
Now u can change/replace the
objects from that folder with ur
preferred images and tones.For
example suppose u find a JPG file
named menu_bg.jpg in that folder
which was used as menu
background image. At first copy
the image that u want to use as
background image and paste it in
that folder. Now delete the
menu_bg.jpg file and rename the
newly pasted file as menu_bg.jpg
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Step4 : With the similar method
mentioned above, replace any files
in that folder that u want to
change. Remember one thing that
before deleting a file u must not
forget its name, coz u have to
give same name for the new
inserted file
. Now delete the old
theme file(which u have renamed
as ZIP) from that folder.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Step5 : Open JZIPMAN and go
inside that folder. Now scroll over
all the files in that folder and press
the select button on every file.
Note that u will not see any
changes when u press the select
button. After finishing all the files,
open the option menu and click
on the LIST button. U will see a list
of all files u have selected.
Now...again press the option
menu and select the PACK button.
Then it will show a path of saving
file. Change only the.zip to.nth and
keep other names unchanged.
Then press OK. It will take some
time 2pack. After packing finishes
it will show an alert like TIME
REMAINS XXX. Ignore that and
close the application.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Step6 : Now go 2that folder and u
will see a new theme that u have
just made. U can now use that
theme any time. Enjoy.....
For first time, u may face some
problems, errors, failures,
difficulties because it is a long
process. But keep trying with my
navigations and soon u will be
able to make your own theme
containing everything u want in
your theme. Pls ask me in the s40
forums inside

community ]
if any problem occurs
and I will try 2help u.
NOTE: When u become expert
with it, u can edit the xml file and
can change the colours of various
texts. And With the above method
u can make themes for some
SonyEricsson and Siemens models
also.
