Tip: Uninstalling themes in 3250!!!!!!!
I've had my 3250 for 7 months now and I can say the only thing that really bothered me in the software was the inability to uninstall themes. The app manager freezes and only shows .jar installed apps. So I was done to keeping all my themes on the phone and secretly crying every night before going to sleep (lol)
I have read a lot of tips to remove these themes, none worked on my phone, and some I didn't try because they were too complicated (re-install the theme then go to app manager and uninstall it... argh *starts banging my head against the wall* )
But I always knew I would come across an easier way to do it. And that's how, after wondering around in with Smartphone Ware's Best Taskman, I had this light in my brain and here it is *drum roll*
- Connect your phone to the pc using the data cable
- Select "Data Transfer" mode (for other phone models, it's the option where the mobile is like a usb)
- Make sure your pc has SHOW HIDDEN FILES AND FOLDERS on (if you don't know how to, choose Tools > Folder Options > View > Show hidden files and folders)
- On the computer go to My Computer > Removable Disk (the memory card) > Private (it's a hidden folder) > 10207114 > Import
- Now you'll have a number of folders with barbarian names, like "dc60815d47351ce2" and others. Each folder corresponds to one theme.
- Open each folder and you'll see in the contents 4 files: a settings file, a .mbm file, a .mif file and a .skn file. The 4 files have in their title the theme name. For instance, in my dc60815d47351ce2 folder, i have the following Pink_Seaflower_3250.mbm, Pink_Seaflower_3250.mif and Pink_Seaflower_3250.skn which means that the dc60815d47351ce2 folder is the one of the Pink Seaflower theme (by Babi)
- When u come across a theme that you want to delete, go back to the Import folder and delete the whole theme folder. Like if I want to delete the pink seaflower theme, I would delete the whole dc60815d47351ce2 folder
- Safely remove your phone
- Enjoy your emptied theme gallery :D
I just tried this tip in my 3250 and it works perfectly fine. After disconnecting my phone, I opened Themes on the mobile and all the themes I deleted were gone *starts dancing*
For other phones, the parent folder "10207114" may be different (I think). You just have to find the folder that contains an "Import" sub-folder.
