Here’s the tutorial you all wanted, hope it helps.
Before you use the turorial, you will need the following
A2Uploader (Click here to download)
Sony Ericsson Update Service (Click here to download)
Sony Ericsson Theme Creator(Click here to download)
If you have a Sony Ericsson Aino or any of the other new phones, use the FarManager tutorial instead, Click here to view it
Part 1: Installing the flash menu
1) Run the A2Uploader and then click on “FileSystem Tool”
2) Navigate to “/tpa/preset/system/desktop/flash”
3) Now drag your flash menu into the right side window
4) Now click on “Shutdown FS Manager”
5) Now click on “Quit” to close A2Uploader
If your flash menu came with a theme, then you can skip part 2 and just install the theme
Part 2: Activating the flash menu
1) Double click your theme file and the Theme Creator will open. If you get a message similar to the one above, just click “Yes”
2) Now click on the “XML” icon
3) Now copy and past this line just before the </Sony_Ericsson_theme>, replacing “MenuName” with the name of your flash menu
<Desktop_style Source=”MenuName.swf” Type=”File”/>
Then click on “OK”
4) A box will appear similar to the one above, just click “Yes”
5) Now click on the save icon to save the theme, and simply upload the file to your phone using bluetooth or via the cable
That concludes the tutorial, if you have any queries or have any issues then just let me know

Hi palu, the MediaPlayer skinner doesn’t support newer phones such as elm, hazel or zylo.
If I’m not wrong, is the text “” wrong? The ” can’t be read right? I always have to change it to ” instead.
Hi Joel, yes that’s correct, it cannot be read properly, that’s why you have to change it.

Hi bunny, can you tell me which flash menu you installed, thanks.
pls. help me,i haven’t understanded part1 installing the flash menu 1st & 2nd step. will u pls tell me
Hi ashish tiwari, the 1st step is asking you to open A2Uploader by clicking on it, and after it has loaded, then click on the “FileSystem tool” button. The 2nd step is asking you to go to the “/tpa/preset/system/desktop/flash”. This is done by first clicking on “/tpa”, then click on “preset” and do this for the rest of the folders.
when i insert the cable…it says
PHONE STATE: “RETAIL”
FLASH CID: 0081
A2ROM_loader_on_loader:bad result [00/FF]
Elapsed:9 secs.
ChipID:E900,EMP protocol:0401
HOW TO OVERCOME THIS….???
HUHU….
Hi hakimimalik, what phone do you have?
sony ericsson w995
Hi hakimimalik, It looks like A2Uploader does not support your phone as it is CID 81 instead, use FarManager, that should work.
i made it…but i dont understand how to use the theme creator….huhu…teach me..
thnx kr8ter….
awesome….
Hi hakimimalik, I’m glad to hear, you got the theme creator working then
Plz help me,i m uzing se elm green heart,i used file manager,& inserted some flash menu(swf)files accordind 2 ur intruction,but it does dont work,how can i uz those swf flash menus in my phone,plz tell me in detail
Sory for my bad english
Hi fasih, make sure the theme file (.thm) is saved to “/tpa/user/theme” and the flash menu (.swf) is saved to “/tpa/preset/system/desktop/flash”. After you have done uploading them, now you just need to activate theme in your phone, and the flash menu will now load
how i can change the code??????????????????
Hi george97, if you are referring to the code which links the flash menu to the theme file. You simply open the theme (.thm) file and click on the “XML” icon. Then just add this code
(Remember to retype the double quotes (“), as copying them from this site will not work, as they are rendered in an unusual way)
Before the line
Simply click ok and click yes, to tell it to ignore any warnings. Now save your theme and upload it and your flash menu to your phone.
You will need to retype the quotes
hmm…actually just putting the flash menu in /tpa/preset/system/desktop/flash and the theme through pc suite also can rite?
Hi ryan, I do know of any way you can access the folder /tpa/preset/system/desktop/flash with PC Suite, you will need to use A2Uploader for this. You can install the theme using PC Suite
what should i give in phone profile????????there is no sony elm (or) j10i2…..
Hi Nithish, the version I have does have an option for Elm. Try downloading this version of theme creator
its not working…….main menu does not change……please help…
Hi Nithish, I’m sorry to hear you’re having issues, could you possibly send me the flash menu and theme your are trying to put onto your phone, so I can check to see they are linked properly. Thanks
