Quick system icon tutorial


How to change system icons:

Download the system icons to a folder on your UIQ-mobile. 



* Caps “Disabled”.

* Use of X-plore 1.22 to edit files on your C:/ 



(a) Do not include any x_loc.rsc or x_loc.r16 files now, but only icon files (.mbm)  that appear in the image below (for now).

(b) Move now all the icon files to C:/resource/apps/ and answer “Yes” if you will overwrite them.

(c) Open now each icons_loc.r06 file (.r06 is Swedish, you might have other code on your mobile) with the “Edit” function on the X-plore 1.22 program, in this example, we edit Alaunch_loc.r06 and it is located at C:/resource/apps/

(d) Edit now where it says Z: and change it to C: instead, see the image below.

(e) Save the file and do the same for all the other icons_loc.rxx files you wish to change, like this:

agenda_loc.r06

alaunch_loc.r06

contacts_loc.r06

qctrlpnl_loc.r06

qmapp_loc.r06

(f) Exit and restart your mobile. (Restart with hardware button, PowerOffer is not suitable for this mod).

So now you can just browse to various forums and picking up the icons as you like, even though it says only for English language.

G900 is a little bit different, cause they have other localization files, like this:

Agenda_loc.r06
ALaunch_loc.r06 
CallLogApp_loc.r06 *
Contacts_loc.r06 
MediaCenter_loc.r06 *
QCtrlPnl_Loc.r06 
qmapp_loc.r06 
secamera_loc.r06 *
Web_loc.r06 

Ps. If you use English language (.rsc) on your phone, So no need, most of the time to change x_loc.rxx files, since the icon packs often include such files. -Just copy and paste!

    OEIL

  2. Please tell us how to make it for G900.. thank you very much

  3. Oh please tell us about the G700 and the G900.
    I’ve been reading everywhere about everone with P1i, P990i, M600i etc… changing their icons and the media player skins and visualizations by placing modded files on the C Drive.

    This doesn’t work with my G700, it seems to keep reading from the Z Drive no matter what I put on the C Drive!

    Waiting eagerly for your post. Good work. :-)

  4. OK, for G900 change the loc_files below to read from c:
    Agenda_loc.rxx
    ALaunch_loc.rxx
    CallLogApp_loc.rxx
    Contacts_loc.rxx
    MediaCenter_loc.rxx
    QCtrlPnl_Loc.rxx
    qmapp_loc.rxx
    secamera_loc.rxx
    Web_loc.rxx

    Add or rename icons like this:

    ALaunchIcon.mbm
    CallLogApp.mbm
    default_agenda_icon.mbm
    default_contacts_icon.mbm
    Default_Opera_Icon.mbm
    qctrlpnl_icon.mbm
    default_qmapp_icon.mbm
    default_secamera_icon.mbm
    MediaCenterAppIcon.mbm

    It should work well!
