    – you cannot install skins via BT or WAP, so do not use WAP ID

    **WARNING** this process will void your warranty, and may break your phone. perform mods at your own risk!

    first, check if your phone is compatible with skins. to check go to “settings”–>”personalise”–>”skin”
    tools you will need:
    -PST 6.7 or higher (googlesearch)
    -P2k tools
    -P2k Commander
    -datacable

    there are three methods for installing skins:

    process #1: flexing:
    1. download skin zip to PC
    2. connect datacable to phone
    3. open PST: “open”—>”pflex”
    4. open “cr Dir skin name here.hs”(from .zip)—>”run”
    4a. if using my skins, (.ski & .dat included in flex), stop at step 5
    5. restart phone
    6. close PST open p2ktools
    7. “switch to p2kmode”—>”connect”
    8. check “upload path”
    9. type: /a/mobile/skins/new skin name here/
    10. “upload”
    11. upload all .dat and .ski from the skin .zip to the typed in new directory
    12. restart phone

    process #2 (swapping)
    1. download zip
    2. connect datacable to phone
    3. open p2ktools
    4. “switch to p2kmode”—>”connect”
    5. explore to skins folder
    6. select a skin (do not touch “moto”)
    7.rename .dat and .ski (from .zip) to mimic those on the skin directory eg. Scarlet.dat, etc. renaming is case specific.
    8. send the renamed .dat/.ski to the appropriate skin directory. new files should overwrite the old ones.
    9. restart phone
    process #3: using p2kCommander (googlesearch)
    1. run p2kC
    2. right side directory tree: read “p2k mobile phone”
    3. browse directory tree to “skins”. double click so all skins are showing.
    4. create “new folder”, use skin name(make sure name is EXACT as the files)
    5. click “re-read”
    6. open (double click) newly created folder (in the skins directory) you should see a .txt file (ignore/delete that)
    7. on left side side directory tree: browse to location of skin files (.dat, .ski)
    8.highlight the files (from the left side) one at a time and “copy” to new directory on the phone.
    9.”copy” skin wallpaper to “pictures” folder on phone.
    10. press f9 (phone reboot)
