• Remove themes that don't appear in the application manager from your memory card (no ahem ahem needed)

Sometimes you install a theme, want to remove it, and are unable to because the theme doesn't show up in the application manager. You can remove these themes yourself.

You'll need access to your memory card from your computer by bluetooth, USB cable, or card reader.

1) Connect your phone to your computer in data transfer mode (a.k.a. mass storage). Do NOT choose PC Suite mode.

2) Tell your computer to show hidden files and folders.

3) Navigate to \private\10207114\import on your memory card.

4) Browse the subfolders of \private\10207114\import. The .mbm, .mif, and .skn files in each folder usually have the same name as the theme itself.

5) If the names of the files do not look like the theme name at all, open the .skn file in a text editor like Notepad. The name of the theme is somewhere in the first one or two lines of text.

6) When you've located the folder of the "missing" theme, remove all files in it. Do NOT remove the folder itself, only remove the files.

7) If you have new firmware, you'll also find bits and pieces of the theme in the folder \resource\skins. Remove the files from there as well.
