Beginners Guide : Installing & Uninstalling Icon Packs
After UIQ3's revolution with CapSwitch, Icon packs were made to make our phone's look the way we want.
Using them is a bit confusing for people new to UIQ3, In this tutorial I'll explain steps of installing and uninstalling an Icon pack.
A complete Icon pack consists of Status-bar icons, Application Icons and a theme. All of these may not be in some packs.
Each application have 2 files that set's icons for it, a app name_loc.rsc file which changes location of icons and a app name.mbm file that contains several image files for icon. Like 'default_agenda_icon.mbm' and 'Agenda_loc.rsc'.
Both of them should be copied to 'C:\Resource\Apps'
First Of all you should have you phone hacked.
Status bar Icons :
- How to?
1- Set CapSwitch app to Off.
2- Run X-plore or Swiss Mgr, mark folders you want and copy them to C:\Resorce.
- What's each folder for?
LSBCONLIB = Popup menu icon
MPSAudioLIB = Silent mode icon.
MPSPlaybackIconsLIB = icons showing when Music is playing in background.
RssSbIndicator = New rss icon
WPSPlaybackIconsLIB = icons showing when Music is playing in background. (Walkman)
ZSBLIB = Signal, Battery, USB, Task Mgr,... icons.
ZSBMsgLIB = Message icons
ZSBTeleLIB = Icons related to phone calls, e.g. Missed calls
# Some of these folders may not be in Pack.
Uninstalling Icon Packs:
- How to?
1- Set CapSwitch app to Off.
2- Close all running apps from Swiss Mgr.
3- Run X-plore.
3- Open pack's zip file which you installed, look at the files in pack and mark same files in X-plore, and delete them.
# It's a bit slow but safest way.
# Look at appendix to know more.

Notes:
1- After Coying files restart phone in order to icons appear.
2- If you have selected other languages than UK English, *_loc.rsc will appear like *_loc.rxx, which "xx" is a number like 16, 59, ...
3- If you want to have both your language and icons you have to go to C:\resorce\apps to see language's 'xx' number and rename *_loc.rsc files to *_loc.rxx, 'xx' is number of installed language you just saw!
