Here’s the menu in my N95 after upgrading to V20
Good looking huh? :P
S60 manages folders pretty badly in my opinion, when you create a new one, you can’t change it’s icon, and when you have a folder inside a folder (like the office folder in V20s firmware), you can’t move it to the main menu, which is bad in my opinion, since I like all my main folders in the main menu, but also like each one to have a special icon…
But then I remembered a little hack I used in the days of my Nokia 6600, to put folders inside folders , I only had to modify the process a little bit, here’s how:
First pretend the “folder” folder is you office folder, and you want to move it to the main menu, but there’s no “Move to folder” option on the left softkey , you have to start by setting up like the screenshot, the folder you want to move at the last place, and any app you can easily install and remove in the place before, in my case I chose the MovingBall app.
Now go, and uninstall MovingBall thru the app. manager, quickly press menu, go to the apps folder and press options above the MovingBall app:
Now wait, the MovingBall app is being uninstalled, when it finishes uninstalling, its icon will disappear from the menu , leaving the folder hi-lighted, and the “Move to folder” option still available in the options!
And voila! Just move the folder!
And again, we shouldn’t have to use this method for moving folders , S60 should have this option right from the start, even better, they should allow changing folder icons, if BlackBerry OS can do it…
Update: Motorola can do it.
Nice trick mate!
haha, that’s just brilliant..! :-)
Thanks a lot!
The original layout looks like crap, but thanks to you it has got it’s sexyback ^^
Tried your hack but does not work with my N95. Pity as I like your setup!
i cannot open my n 95
Great Tip works fine on my N95 8GB
That just great and working great here!
This is the single best N95 hack I have seen. I have been wanting to customise my folder icons for years but since Nokia have done nothing about it, this is a great way to at least extend the choice available.
Good work
Does this only work on the new 8gb N95? I keep trying on my standard N95 but no luck.
Thanks for the comments guys!
@ Jan, I made this on my classic N95, tecnically it should work in any s60v3, I don’t know why it is not working in your phone…
Thanks so muc h for reminding me exactly how this could be done, i was starting to crazy, could on the old n70, aand the n80, but the n81 (like the n95) is too fast for the power button trick..
+1!!
Thanks for the useful Trick. I agree with you, Nokia should give a solution for this.
HA! :)
