I've tried using x-term and a couple of filemanagers to move the files, but I was wondering, that is there any easy way to do this kinda things, like can you get the /usr/... -folders visible on the PC, when it's connected in mass storage mode?

Thanks a bunch!

Also you won't need root privileges to move them there. If the command line isn't your friend, try installing CuteExplorer which has recently made it into Extras.

And when I try to move the files in /usr/share/icons and overwrite the existing ones, it just says "failed to move blablabla"..

Its a mod of the default Alpha theme (system files get modded).

So heres the screenshots...

Smaller icon backgrounds, new background for the music widget and new status bar.


New contact frames and bookmark frames.


New calendar background, ovi bar and RSS widget.


New easyer to see edit buttons on desktop when in edit mode.


New system wide buttons.


Also includes a new swipe to unlock screen.


New task thumbs.


New incoming call/end buttons.


New dial pad buttons.


Also includes wallpapers.


Also has the same style qwerty but i cant get a screen of that.

To use this mod just download my zip file, extract the 3 folders and put them in usr/share/themes/alpha and overwrite the default folders/images, you may want to backup the original ones first.

Once done just reboot and enjoy

Download the files HERE (2.8mb)

2.- I like the remember me option in my social networks and forums and I don’t bother lend my phone to friends or family, what I don’t like is when they open the browser and log in with their accounts or worst to use it with my account. So I make a Fake password protected browser. Take a look to the pdf.
