I was just wondering if it was possible to use the S500i themes on my w580i and if so, does anyone have the OEM themes that they can post or send me? I really love the nature style themes that it uses. Any help/info would be great. Thank you very much in advance!

If you can send them, my e-mail is okkervilriver74(at)gmail.com

They can, but if you want the menus you have to manually install the .swf from the S500 themes. I don't know how to do it, but it was discussed in a thread entitled 'S500 to W580 Possible' or something along those lines.

Thanks for the links, I somewhat followed them, but came up with a shorter version and it work out perfectly...the themes are working fully. Remember...your phone mush be debranded in order for flash themes to work.

Here we go...

1. Created 2 folders on my desktop
(tpa/preset/system/desktop/flash/ & tpa/preset/system/standby/flash/)

2. Added the files accordingly (thanks to ranphi)
DayandNight theme:

Theme filename is "Day and night.thm". This is the file that goes into the "Themes" folder on your phone.

There are 5 files total that make up this theme. Here are their file names and where they need to go on your phone:

~DayAndNight_desktop.swf (belongs in tpa/preset/system/desktop/flash/)
D1.THM (belongs in tpa/preset/system/desktop/flash/)
D2.THM (belongs in tpa/preset/system/desktop/flash/)
DayAndNight_desktop.swf (belongs in tpa/preset/system/desktop/flash/)
DayAndNight_standby.swf (belongs in tpa/preset/system/standby/flash/)

Everchanging theme:

Theme filename is "Everchanging.thm". This is the file that goes into the "Themes" folder on your phone.

There are 7 files total that make up this theme. Here are their file names and where they need to go on your phone:

E1.THM (belongs in tpa/preset/system/desktop/flash/)
E2.THM (belongs in tpa/preset/system/desktop/flash/)
E3.THM (belongs in tpa/preset/system/desktop/flash/)
E4.THM (belongs in tpa/preset/system/desktop/flash/)
E5.THM (belongs in tpa/preset/system/desktop/flash/)
Everchanging_desktop.swf (belongs in tpa/preset/system/desktop/flash/)
Everchanging_standby.swf (belongs in tpa/preset/system/standby/flash/)

The 2 main theme files ("day and night.thm" and "everchanging.thm") you can place in the Themes folder on your phone however you usually do (bluetooth, USB cable).

Download this .xml file, throw it into the "Other" folder on your phone, throw in all of the theme files from the other Rapidshare download link I posted in this article EXCEPT for the 2 main theme files ("day and night.thm" and "everchanging.thm" -- those 2 files go into the "Themes" folder on your phone), restart your phone and you should now have these 2 dynamic themes installed on your phone.

3. Put the directories (folders) that I created in Step 1 into a ZIP file.
TPA.zip

4. Flashed the .zip file to my phone using SE Tools 2 Lite using the "Misc. Files" section.
Follow SE Tools rules as always!!!

4. Reinsert battery, start up phone and voila!!!

***BIG Thanks to ranphi for his guide and all files needed for this can be found in his original post found here (Original Guide). Hope he doesn't mind.
