Menu transitions and effects are just a few of the new features included in Nokia’s Symbian S60 FP2 devices. These subtle animations really do make a difference and give S60 FP2 devices a new look and feel, Lets see how can we get S60 FP2 style transitions & effects on Symbian S60 FP1 devices.
Please note that this hack is only working on phones with V20 firmware! V30s, V31s, V11s, V10s, V12s and others will NOT work.
***READ THIS BEFORE STARTING***
You’ll need:
-A hacked phone with ROMPatcher and a file browser (like Y-Browser) installed.
-To make sure that all of your themes are installed on the C drive (internal memory).
- Download the KastorUI zip file from here: extract it and then copy the Kastor UI folder to your phone’s memory card.
- Disable platform security either by using CapsOff or ROMpatcher and then use a file browser navigate to the KastorUI folder and copy the KastorUI.rmp file to the patches folder on your memory card.
- Copy the entire effects folder(from the KastorUI folder) into C:\Resource.
- Copy the effects.sel file(from the KastorUI folder) and then navigate to C:\Resource\skins. In here, paste the effects.sel file into each of the folders and then rename it to the name of the folder. For example, if the name of a folder was 2000d1c3, you would rename effects.sel to 2000d1c3.sel.
- Exit your file browser and then open ROMPatcher. Enable the KastorUI patch and set it to start automatically.
- Navigate to the themes application, highlight your current theme and press options, select theme effects and then turn them off and back on again. *DO NOT EXIT THEMES* Instead, press the Symbian Menu button to open the menu and voila, your theme effects are working!
Every time you turn off your phone, simply repeat step 6 to get your theme effects back.
