After having both LINLoader and MPKG installed on the ROKR I googled for Eakrin's Skin Installer and Theme Installer. Install them both on your phone (Please read the guides, there are many !! cautions !!) During this you will have to have a little bit of knowledge in accessing hidden files. On my Mac I just did a search using option+command G to "go to folder" and then punched in the file path I looked for. There are terminal commands you can use too if you feel a little more savvy. Per Alpha 43: 1. Download Eakrin’s skin installer and theme installer. 2. These are regular zip files so you will need to Unzip them before copying them to your phone. 3. Copy these two *.pkg files to a folder on your phone’s SD card. 4. Install them using mpkg installer. After these have been installed on your SD card the next step will be to un-rar the skin file and pop it into the USB storage location you will set up per Alpha's instructions below: 2. Download the rar skin file to your Mac. 3. Unrar it using Stuffit Expander – each skin should consist of a folder containing a number of skin and theme files: eg: Code: tlinux1\ tlinux1.pskn tlinux1.skn iconres.ezx logo file in jpg or png (optional) off/on gifs It should also contain a lin file e.g. tlinux1.lin (Not all skin developers have included this in their skin package however) 4. Create a folder called “themes” directly under the root on your SD card. 5. Copy the entire skin folder under this themes folder on your SD card. e.g. e:\themes\tlinux1 6. Copy the lin file directly under the themes folder (ie move it out of its skin folder) e.g: Code: themes\ tlinux1\ tlinux1.lin IMPORTANT: Make sure you do not have any spaces in any of the folder names (ie do NOT call it themes\fun skin\) This will prevent the programs from installing. 7. For skin installation, use the phone's File Manager to find the *.pskn file in the skin folder. Hold the stylus on the file until the small menu appears. Select “Open with” and choose the skin installer. If it has worked you should hear a woman's voice saying “Installation complete”. 8. Restart the phone to make new skin active. You should see the new skin installed. If only the status and scroll bar have changed then you will also need to do part 2b using linloader. 2b. How to Change Your Phone’s Skin - Part 2 USING LINLOADER NOTE: NEVER RUN LINLOADER two times in a row without running Eakrin's skin installer first to clear out the old skin - otherwise you run the risk of filling up the memory and freezing the phone. 1. Always run Eakrins installer program prior to doing this to clear out any old skins. 2. Create a new folder called "install" (without quotes) right under the themes\ folder on the SD card (ie themes\install) The .lin file copies some text file to this folder during installation 3. Use Program Manager to find the skin's lin file and tap and hold the stylus on the file until the small menu appears. Select “Open with” and choose the loader program (It may take up to 10 seconds to complete - you should hear a set of beeps when done). 4. Restart the phone and the icons should now have changed. Note 1: On successful installation, you should see that three files 1) on.gif 2) off.gif 3) desk.jpg from choosen skin folder have been copied directly under the themes\ folder on SD card. This verifies that install worked correctly. Note 2: You do not have to run the same skin's *.lin file as you installed with Eakrin's program. If you like the status/scroll bar to be one skin's style and the icons to be another skin's style then this works ok. (ie can install tlinux1 with Eakrin's installer then run LEE_blue.lin skin.) I haven't done too much just with themes yet (Not the same as skins) but as soon as I do I will post as well. Let me know if I missed something and again BACKUP and do at your own risk. READ EVERYTHING as it's your phone in your hands!!! JenCiv | |||||||||||
