A simplified procedure for adding folders to your default FP1 N-Series phone (e.g. N95, N95 8GB, N82) (standard folders included)
I thought I'd write a little guide to help you do this safely. In this attachment, I have only included the standard folders the way I like them. It is very easy to change them to your personal taste. This might work for more FP1 phones than the N-series (some E-series users say it works), but I have only tested in on my N95 8GB.
With Zylam Marex's genius experimenting, most of the folders are now international, i.e. if you change the language of your phone they will also change. The only ones still not changing are: Help, GPS and Accelerometer (Extra applications folder, inside Games in this release. If anyone can find the tags for them which will work in all Nokia phones, you're welcome to tell us :)
The .mif is made by me, and includes the 15 folders in the correct order, and also the "circle" for running applications; this fixes the problems when using the c2z patch, where the wrong icon (connectivity) was being used instead of the circle (See here ([Only registered and activated users can see links])). Now this .mif can also be used together with SmartSIS to change that "running app circle", if you wish.
The folder icons have been tested and are fine with theme changes as well, and ALL of them have animation, thanks to rolan95d's work here ([Only registered and activated users can see links]).
The animations for the green man and the internet globe are still missing, but I have substituted them reasonably (I think :)), for now.

The language of the folders will also automatically adapt to your language.
Well, apart from Help and GPS. If you want to change Help to your language all you have to do is:
-Open the .xml file included in the attachment, I have made it minimal on purpose, it includes only the main folders, so that it's not too confusing.
-Find the folder you want to change (after <appshell:folder ), and change the name after short_name= , long_name= , and title_name= , using the language of your choice.
-The rest of the folders with a "&qtn... " in the names, will automatically change to your language.
Let's start:
You need X-plore, you can get it Here ([Only registered and activated users can see links]). Of course you are free to use any file manager you like.
Step 1 Transfer the attachment (Tyx.rar) to your mass memory. Disconnect your phone from your pc.
Step 2 Make a backup of your appshelldata.xml.
First disable caps on your phone, using either ROMpatcher or CapsOff.

Now you can access the C:\Private folder.
Using X-plore, navigate to C:\private\101F4CD2\Content\ , highlight appshelldata.xml, and press 7 , to rename it.

Add a 1 after the xml, or just call it whatever. Press OK.
Step 3 Navigate to where you transfered Tyx.rar with X-plore, in E:\. Open it, and press 4 to extract it, and choose C: as the destination:
415288<- Press 4, then choose C:
If it mentions overwriting, say yes.
Step 4 Close X-plorer, and restart your phone. All your applications should now be lying in a jumbled mess in the Applications folder. Distribute them with "Options->Move to Folder", as you see fit!
If you need to go back to your previous configuration, just delete appshelldata.xml from C:\Private\101F4CD2 (see step 2), and rename your initial file (which in the above example was renamed appshelldata.xml1), back to appshelldata.xml. Then restart your phone.
THAT'S IT.
AND PLEASE NOTE: THIS METHOD WILL NOT WORK WITH pre-FP1 PHONES!
Thanks go to Zylam Marex for figuring out about the language and theme changes and Rolan95d for finding the animations (Look at his thread for even more animations).
(In the rar I have kept the minimum of xml code, ignoring the standard applications like recorder etc., which will be dumped into your Applications folder for you to move wherever you want. This was in order to make it easier for people to modify their folders as they see fit, if they choose to. )
And of course thanks to FCA000000 for the initial fantastic hack, and Ipmart for being such a fantastic place :) :ilove:

Edit: Updated (12 Jul) after albertobom's testing here ([Only registered and activated users can see links]) which suggested that some phones need all the files to be read from C:\ , even though the previous version worked with the N95 8GB.
Updated again (13 August) with a new .mif, which is compatible with the methods of changing the running applications' circle (e.g. Piciar's icons here ([Only registered and activated users can see links])), and avoids problems (see txt).
And again (22 August) with a slightly modified menu structure (Extras folder is now contained in Applications), following a reasonable request.
