    • kr8ter says:

      Hi sushant, it looks like you are using the wrong version of a flash menu, only flash lite 3, flash menus will work on your phone.

    hi, were can i get flash lite 3??

    • kr8ter says:

      Hi zul, flash lite is installed on the phone by Sony Ericsson so you can’t upgrade it. If you have a new phone such as Aino, Cedar, Zylo, etc then you have Flash Lite 3. If you have C905, W995, C902, etc then you have Flash Lite 2.1. If you have K850, W910, etc then you have Flash Lite 2.0. Most of the latest menus on this site work on all phones.

    • kr8ter says:

      Hi newbies, did you install the flash menu onto your phone, into the folder ‘/tpa/preset/system/desktop/flash’, if you did then chances are the theme is not linked with the flash menu, just follow part 2 of this tutorial.
