In this tutorial, I will only consider modding some aspects of symbian applications because of the limitations in the usage of symbian phones in modding of symbian applications. MATERIALS: (a)X-plore v1.57 for s60v3/5
(b) SuperPython for s60v3/5 (c) SmartSIS (d) MifTools (e) ZntxHan v2.06 update.zip NB: Extract ZntxHan v2.06 update.sis and zntxhan_0Xa3721520_aif.mif to memory card then install ZntxHan v2.06 update.sis (ensure that old version is removed to avoid update error). Besides, don't forget to take note of the icon and name
under the icon after installation because they are going to be changed. TO UNPACK SIS FILES: (a) Install and open Smartsis (b) Press Options > Unpack (c) Locate and select zntxhan v2.06.sis (d) Press Options > Unpack > Standard Update then wait (e) After the success sound, you are done TO PACK SIS FILES (Via Pkg): (a) Open Smartsis (b) Press Options > then Packing (c) Press Options > Packing > Standard Packing > Ok then wait for packing to complete (d) Go to File Manager> E: > SmartSIS > Packed (e) You are done NB: Don't forget to use eCleaner to remove PAlbTN files before packing TO INCLUDE INSTALLATION TEXTS: (a) Open X-plore (b) Scroll down to E: (c) Press Menu > File > New text file (d) Write 'About 1 and Ok (e) Now type the first message that will pop up while installing SIS file. (f) Repeat step (v) but type About 2 then write second message that will pop up while installing SIS file. (g) Open SmartSIS (h) Press Options > MISC > 'Default Text' then locate and select About 1.txt (i) Scroll and click 'Secondary Info' then select 'About 2.txt (j) Press and save (k) You are done NB: For subsequent changes, use X- plore to rewrite text at About 1.txt and About 2.txt then don't forget to save TO CHANGE ICON: (a) Using X- Plore copy zntxhan_ 0Xa3721520_aif.mif (b) Passing through memory card, locate SmartSIS folder > Unpacked > Symbian 9 > Zntxhan v2.0.6 update > C > resource > apps > then paste and overwrite (c) You are done; the old icon has been replaced. TO CHANGE APPLICATION'S NAME: (a) Open Zntxhan (b) Press 'Left Soft key' > Start > select 'Listway (c) Then locate SmartSIS > Unpacked > Symbian 9 > Zntxhan v2.0.6 update > C > resource > apps > enter 'Zntxhan_0xa3721520_loc.r01' (d) At 00001C, rename ? to ZntxHan (e) At 00002E, rename ? to ZntxHan then press '7' and 'save' change(s). (f) Your are done. NB: To rename file or delete back up files (.bak), press 'left soft key' TO CREATE SIS ICON: An icon in SIS file is an image in MIF format. Thus, to create an icon, you need 'MifTools' to convert whatever image you have in PNG into MIF format. (a) Open MifTools (b) Press 'left soft key' , scroll down and select 'IMAGE to SVG'. (c) Locate and select your image in PNG format (d) Press 'left soft key' , scroll down and select 'SVG to MIF' (e) Pass through D: > miftool > mifs and select your image in SVG format (wait untill packing is completed) (f) Open X-plore and press '0'(zero) (g) Mark the 4 boxes then press 'Back' (h) Using X-plore pass through D: > miftool > mifs (i) Extract your packed image/icon in MIF format to memory card (j) Rename new icon; the same name as the old icon in SIS file (i.e inside resource folder). (k) Using X-plore copy or move new icon to overwrite the old icon. (l) You are done TO MODIFY FILE FOR DIRECT INSTALLATION In every SIS file there are atmost 3 folders namely !, c and e. (a) ! FOLDER if an application is
unpacked and there is ! folder then this application will always ask whether to install to memory card or phone memory. For direct installing to memory card during installation, rename folder from ! to e. Then, for direct installing to phone memory rename folder from ! to c. Finally, packed your and enjoy. (b) ! & c FOLDER For direct installing to memory card during installation, rename only ! folder to e (i.e you now have e and c folder). Then, for direct installing to phone memory move all the content of ! folder into c folder (i.e you now have only c folder). Finally, packed your and enjoy. TO COMBINE TWO OR MORE FILES To combine applications into one SIS file is simple but demands carefullness to make both or all applications work after installation. For instance, let combine Zntxhan and Jarboom into one SIS file. when both applications are unpacked they have same ! and c folder. Programmably, only ! folder that is allow for renaming. Besides, Zntxhan is functional when install to memory card while Jarboom is functional when install to phone memory. Thus, Zntxhan folders will become e and c after ! is renamed while Jarboom's folder becomes c (i.e you can't two same folders in one application). Finaly, move all contents of Zntxhan into Jarboom vice verse. That is, marry the folders and sub- folders into one(i.e c into c, private into private, resource into resource sys into sys etc). It is a great fun;give it a try.
