Hi all, a lot of people asked me (P@sco) how to reinstall my themes (or other ones) because they disappeared from apps manager and are not in the memory, but can't be reinstalled. Here is a brief tutorial, hope it'll be helpful (and hope my inbox folder will be less full of messages about this subject )

Just a thing: it's a bug of the OS, not of the themes!!!

that happens because phone has a log file stored somewhere in c:/private (or in another protected folder). if you want to reinstall a theme you need to use unsis and exctract the folder to put into private/10207114/import/

that's the only way i know...

so, let start:

A ) Download Unsis for 3rd Edition
http://www.pietropaschino.com/Varie/Tutorials/UNSIS/UnSIS_v2.5.zip
B ) Take the usb cable for connecting phone to pc

1. Install and open unsis
2. choose "Open SIS" on bottom left
3. choose the theme you want to reinstall
4. click on "Ectract"
5. few seconds (some times more ) it'll be "Completed"
6. you can now close the program
7. go into installation folder (usually C:/Unsis)
8. there should be e a folder called "Temp"
9. inside you should find "private"-> "10207114"-> "import"-> "some folders (just one ifyou extracted just one theme) with different names (numbers and letters in most of cases)"
10. go inside the folders and search the one of the theme you are intereted, there'll be 4 files:
a ) NameOfTheFolder.ini
b ) NameOfTheTheme.mbm
c ) NameOfTheTheme.mif
d ) NameOfTheTheme.skn
11. ok?  now, don't close this folder and connect phone to pc using the usb cable
12. choose "mass storage" (or something like this, my phone is in italian and i don't know exactly how it is named in english ). Note: you can also insert memory card into a memosy card reader
13. find the folder called "private" . If you don't see it, you need to choose the visualization of hidden files and folders
14. in the "private" fodler, find "10207114" folder and then "import" folder
15. in "import" there are your themes, here you should find the themes you installed into memory card
16. don't close this folder and come back to the folder where you exctracted the theme with unsis
17. just click "back" so you can see your folder selected into the "import" folder
18. choose all the folder and select "copy"
19. go back to the "import" folder into the memory
20. right click and make "paste"
21. here we are, now your theme is again in the memory
22. just restart the phone and control if theme is ok, if there is not in the theme menu, something get wrong and you need to repeat the recovery process

Hi

Unfortunately all themes I paste across show a "Theme corrupted" message when I try and use them?

Darryl

Your obviously doing something wrong as it works fine for me.

Working perfectly now thanks.

How do I identify the themes on the memory card so I can delete the ones I installed wrongly?

You have to open one of the files inside the theme folder with note pad and in one of theme the theme name will be there,usually the skn file!

.skn won't open with notepad.

This is not serious as I'll delete all the themes and start again.

Thanks for all your help.

No success but as I said, not serious.

Select the skn folder,right click,then select 'open with' and choose 'Notepad',thats how i got it to open.

Finally found that buried amongst all the symbols and weird letters is the name!!!!

Thank you, you've been a great help.

Kind regards
