Use BitPim... thats the only way i know how to remove skins
P2kcommander(using s4m to fix font) is the only program that can successfully install skins on cdma
i got the gsm iphone skin on my slvr l7c and it works great as well as your azur's edge skin(which has a perfect blend on black abd blue which i wanted in the 1st place) and 6 others...
i actually don't have any cdma skins on my phone
This is the list of GSM skins i know will work on a L7c
Azur's Edge(My Permanent Skin)
Blood Rose
Blue Sphere
Da Beat
Dragon
GraffityART
Green
Hypnotize Minds
iFone
NFS Carbon
SCaRFaCE
Azur's Edge

lol yeah i didnt try to use the guides...hahaha
i have a quick question for you since you own an L7c what version of p2k commander do you have because
1. i couldnt find those versions that are on the guide
2.any version that i put, in installing it with commander, it would tell me path file not specified...
lol yeah its a good skin, it was actually my first skin, im glad you like it. i really havent tried to make others cause my laptop lost a lot of data and in them where like 3 skins i was working on, it was very disappointing to lose them all, specially since i had made the icons myself...
but thanks for the list as well ill keep those in mind, lol i actually work at criket now and my friend is teaching me all about cdma phones n flashing...

P2k Commander 4.9.E the lastest
only thing i don't like about cricket phone is that Brew blocks installing entire skin ie, the battery image and the antenna images :( wish it was something to be done to cdma to allow the whole skin to be installed

Those images are the DRM file. It is compiled withing the SHX file. So those images are yet to get modded on the CDMA phone.

Wow crazy. That is the exact same skin leading to the exact same result lol. I tried applying that skin to my Cricket SLVR L7c and it also stuck my phone on the carrier. I deleted the skin and directory using P2kcommander. It fixed it no problems.

umm actually you cannot delete skins with p2kcommander it can only install them, so whatever problem you had it wasn't the skin lol
the only way to delete a skin is BitPim.....if you try deleting it with p2kcommander you will see on the computer that it has been deleted but if you look on your phone you will find it still there.... i ahve deleted skins many times so i know what im talking about lol

and about the drm is a gsm thin which also applies to cdma you decompile the flash file into different cg(code groups) then you edit the drm

You can manually remove any file on the phone with p2kcommander. That's the only program I use for deleting anything on my phone.

That is not a good Idea.
What happens is that using P2k Commander doesn't really remove the file off of the phone but just removes the file path that P2k uses to read the file. (aside from sound and pictures)
When a skin folder is removed from the phone you may not be able to see the folder any more but the in the skin section of the phone you still see the choice of what you tried to delete.

yea thats what i was saying , p2kcommander cannot remove the skin itself...only BitPim can remove the entire skin, i actually tried removing a skin with p2kcommander once and it didnt remove anything lol

lol i got tired of trying to get the L7 to be recognized with bitpim, i dunno i just took it to the shop and flashed a stock pack again and reprogrammed it..lol my friend was cool wit it.
i just never understood why the drivers did not recognize the phone...
is it possible to make a Back up of cdma phones using FB?

No... I tried using skiman for removing and adding skins and it wouldnt show the skins that were on my phone. It would only let me add skins. So I messed with P2kcommander and it deletes everything. I deleted all stock ringers and picures, along with stock skins and skins I didn't want anymore that I had added. The skin doesn't still show up in the phone either.

Yea.. That is weird cause P2k commander has never deleted a skin folder and made it go away for good on any of the CDMA phones I have ever used it on.
