I have a V180 that I'm trying to customize. I've downloaded some themes but the instructions on how to install them are in russian and I don't understand them. Anyone know how to install themes on a v180?, this seems to be a very elusive procedure.

skins and themes are NOT the same thing... skins change the visual appearence of menus and dialog boxes, themes just change the colours/preferences like wallpapers, screen savers ,etc.. v180 does NOT support skins.

I take it from your answer that you do NOT plan to be helpful just condescending but thank you ANYWAY for the clarification! So can anyone tell me then how to apply themes and change colorstyles on a V180 please?

lol,
get the motorola tool by xoclipse, it has a color scheme editor which may be what youre looking for, minimally, its a step in the direction you're taking.

Stick a nametag on a guy and he gets a god complex....lol

After spending all weekend looking around I finally dug this out for myself and for you other v180 owners (if there are still any out there ) interested in this.
In P2Kman - Download SEEM 0032_0001--> offset:53 -->bit:6 (1 on, 0 off) then upload the SEEM back to your phone (remember to always backup before you mod!)
This edit allows you to upload and use custom color schemes that can be uploaded into a\mobile\system folder.
You can find themes for the v180 which include (usually) a wallpaper and a custom color style or you can make your own color scheme in motorola-tool available in the download section here.
Using P2K Tools:
Upload Wallpaper into a\moblie\picture
Upload custom color style into a\mobile\system (note: you must change the attribute to system)
Restart Phone
Now when you navigate your phone go to MENU-->Settings-->Personalize-->Color styles (you should now see the custom file listed)
Change the Wallpaper in the same Menu
You're done!

Hope this helps someone.
