Hi recently i modded my SE W550i giving it a better cam driver, acoustics driver, changing the signal graphics and battery graphics, changing the icons and then gave it a flash menu I also added KD Player to it which isn't really a mod just a general application to use instead of the default Walkman media player. Just wondering if anyone else has modded their phone either firmware wise or aesthetically??
Add specs or pictures to make it interesting

lol i would not know where to start...
It looks like you know alot about phones. Maybe you work in a phone shop or something. But i have no clue how i would do it. Ive taken my phones to the shops for little upgrades and they charge a fortune to do it. So maybe its best to do it yourself if you know how

this anoter one....
is there any tutor to make your own MP(moster pack) E398? i've never seen it before.. I guess many people interested to make their own MP. 1. Download orginal firmware(I mean clean with no patches) or download some of lektor moded firmware(0.3v) 2. Patch it as you want 3. Find/make DRM what you like(mod it if patches needs it; it is wreaten in patches description if it is needed to mod DRM or not) 4. Make some nice skins/write their own mma_upc files 5. Mod seems that you wish they to be moded 6. Put it all in to your moto. Check if there are bugs. 7. Make full backup. Make shx file flom full backup Most MP's are made that way. The 'magic' people are able to mod some more 'cause they understand Motorola's native language(I mean programming language of moto) you can get more by joining Motohell.com thanks... |

Ahhh, i have been wanting to do that to my w810i but I am sort of scared of doing it :S , what if the phone gets messed up or I end up getting my cellphone credit hacked out or something
 . On the other hand, it looks really cool, and I could use the camera improvement because it acts strange from time to time. I have seen some videos on youtube of how great the flash menus can look.

i am familiar with modding ipod or gaming consoles but when it comes to cellphones i don't want to try..
modding a cellphone unofficially might render it useless or buggy, that's why i prefer the default tools my phone offers.. and most cellphones have restrictive firmwares that might be damaged when you try to change it's content.. that's why i'm afraid to do some hacks on my unit.. but i'm willing to try if someone has proven that it is safe to do, |

I've never heard of something like that! Although I think there is some kind of software on your phone - like an OS and you can change it with something modded, but you may end up ruining your telephone or not being able to use all the settings...maybe it would be possible to try that on older phones which you don't use anymore...
