enable/disable Theme Effects in Belle FP1 & FP2

If you ever used a pre-FP1 Symbian Belle device, you probably know that you can get a really nice speed boost by disabling theme effects.

For whatever reason, the option to turn them on/off is missing since Belle FP1.

That's why I created this installer. This mod lets you easily enable/disable the theme effects on FP1 and FP2 devices.

During the installation you will be asked if you want to "enable" or "disable" the effects (of course you can only choose one option, or it will fail).
Now just restart your phone and the new settings are working.

To restore your original settings (usually "theme effects on" for OFW's), remove the mod like any other app from the device manager.
To switch between enabled/disabled, you do not need to remove the mod first. Just install it again!

The installer is unsigned, your phone needs to be hacked (probably needs modified "installserver.exe" and not RomPatcher).

Full credit for this mod goes to iExtraX7 from Daily Mobile Forum. I just used his mod and packed it into an easy installer ;)

  1. doesnt work on my 808 (my cfw), i copied the .dll into c/sys/bin, but they are still active. How to disable it? I have no installserver.exe in z/sys/bin, just the rompatch.

    1. when you do it manually, you need to rename the modded file (my installer would do that automatically of course).

      aknskinsrv(0-1).dll = disabled theme effects

      rename aknskinsrv(0-1).dll to aknskinsrv.dll and then copy it to c:\sys\bin

    1. are you sure you used the correct file?
      one is the original file (to enable theme effects) and the other one is modded (to disable theme effects).

      what phone/fw-version are you using?

    1. my cfw is based on 112.020.0311.
      the mod is working without a problem for me... and it was also confirmed to be working for other people too.

      do you have any active patches in rompatches?
      or any other mod that may could conflict with this one?

    1. that shouldn't be the problem... i don't know why its not working for you.

      i just tested it again on my device (to check if the installer/files got broken, while packing or uploading).
      it works without a problem for me...

    6. no, it doesn't.
      you choose enable or disable during the installtion... if you want to change it, reinstall the mod.
      (no need for uninstalling first, just run the sis installer again and restart)

    1. i tried to port the option in theme settings. i was able to get it to show up and it even worked... but as soon as i restarted the phone, the settings were set back to default values.
      so saving the settings was not possible. maybe somebody with more talent/patience can do it :)

      i could not make the notification widget work on belle fp1/2.
      seems like there are too many changes to make it compatible...

      i am missing the extended log mod myself. don't know how to do it... maybe you can request it from iextrax7 or ichris701. they are very talented when it comes to things like this!

    1. are you using the "installserver" patch via rompatcher?
      it is a common error by using this patch... you should use a hacked installserver.exe
