****Here is a written tutorial for installing theme manager: you need a memory stick!****


It has occured to me that to install Theme Manager there is no need to rename LGAPP at all as the files you need to replace are not protected, so Once you have a full backup of your firmware then you shouldn't really need to rename LGAPP again.

Ok down to business

1. Open the EFS program, but don't connect your phone yet. You will see a large empty screen with an "explore" button on the top bar, press this.

2. A smaller empty box will open in the middle, click cancel on this one.

3. You will notice that the screen is now split into 4 sections. In the bottom half is your Pc's files, the top half will show your phones files once we are connected.

4. In the bottom left section you will need to find where you have saved Theme Manager and open so it displays the files in the bottom right section.

5. You will see 4 files and 1 folder; Themes folder (which we will ignore for now), theme_bg2.swf, widget2.swf, widget4.swf and nyx_viewtyx.swf

6. In the top right section, open LGAPP by double clicking

7. Then open "Media" and scroll down to "swf" and open this

8. The first folder showing should be "theme", open this folder, you will see "theme_bg1,2,3 and 4

9. In the bottom right section, right click on "theme_bg2.swf" from TM and click "write", this will copy over

10. In the top left section, find the "swf" folder and click, this will take you back a step so you see a list of files starting with the "theme" folder again

11. In the bottom right section, one-by-one, right click and "write" the files "widget2.swf", "widget4.swf" and the nyx file, these will also copy over

12. Now in the top left section, scroll up to the top and click the very top folder that has no name you should see LGAPP again in the top right box
Right click in an empty space and click refresh

13. Then in the middle bar, click "disconnect" and choose yes from the pop-up, your phone will now restart/reboot

14. You can now close EFS, and disconnect your phone from the cable

15. Now put your phone into "Mass storage mode" by going to Settings-phone settings-connectivity-USB connection mode-mass storage

16. Now open "My Computer" on your pc and you should see "removable disk(?)" for XP, or MMCroot for Vista, don't open this yet

17. Now in another window find where you saved Theme Manager, and drag-and-drop the "themes" folder onto "removable disk(?)" or "MMCroot", and you should see the files copy to your memory card

18. Once this is finished open the removable disk/MMCroot and right click the new "Themes" folder

19. Choose the last option in the popup, should be folder options or properties, you should see a tick box to hide files

20. Click this and choose the option to hide folder and all sub-folders

21. You should now see that the "Themes" folder is faded

22. You can now unplug your phone

23. Now, on your Viewty, go to Settings-Phone settings-Screen-Handset theme and choose the silver theme, return to the home screen

24. Now double tap the "C" key between the red and green keys and wow, theme selector!

    EFS does not connect to the phone. Says "cant open serial port".

    I reinstalled both drivers of the CD and tried all connection options in the phone (usb storage, pc-suite, etc) also tried under XP and Seven, phone on and also off.

    What else can I do? Any suggestion ?

    Btw I just instaled last firmware version (kp501at_v10k). May be LG removed this kind of access ?! Or this procedure does not work with KP501 ?
