This post is for the daring and adventurous and it is simply to spice up your Nokia s60v3 phone. I have tested this on my Nokia N95, E65, and 6219c and it worked perfectly. what am I saying here, I am saying is that if you are tired of the monotonous handshake image that is been displayed anytime you power on your Nokia s60v3 phone then I will teach you how you can change this image to any image of your choice. Similarly, if you are fed up with the shutdown sound of Nokia whenever you power off your Nokia phone I will teach you how to also change this.

Note: as much as I have tested this and it was working before posting, I will still one all who wish to follow this trick that you are on your own I mean you are doing it at your own risk. but I assure you that if you follow my tutorial to the last letter, you will not encounter any problem

Steps to Change the Startup Animation of Nokia S60

Here’s how you could change your Start-up animation. YES! It’s the way to get rid of the shaking hands!

First Enable CAPS OFF OR TURN ON PLAT.SECURITY IN YOUR SECMAN
Use xPLORE and go to Z:\resource\apps
Copy the startup.mbm, startup.mif and the rsc file corresponding to your installed language ( For example *.r01 = english, *.r03 = german, etc.) to C:\resource\apps
Now browse to C:\resource\apps and press ‘8′ on the startup.rXX file. Now you have the hex view of the file.
Scroll down to line 000050
change hex value ‘5A’ which stands for ‘Z’ to ‘43′, which will be ‘C’.
After saving the file, on boot, the device will look in C:\resource\apps for the Startup.mbm and use it!
CONFIRMED to work on FP1 phones: N82, N95, N95 8GB, E51, E60, E90
Not working on the 6120, 6290, 5700, N73, N80, N81

In my package, I included vista bootup screen as a replacement for the Nokia shaking hands (you can change this to any image of your choice but you must be careful as you need to use the same size with the one I uploaded in my zip package) Now extract vista-bootup-screen that is in the zip file you have downloaded

How to Change the Shutdown Screen

Now you can get rid of the boring Nokia Shutdown screen. I am talking about the screen which comes when you turn off your phone.

First off, Install ROM patcher first:(remember it is in the package I uploaded)

Steps :

Download the “.rmp” file provided.
Put this “.rmp” file in the “patches” folder in your MMC (that creates a folder in your memory card and name it patches).
Now use any shutdown screen provided in the zip file. These shutdown screens are with the extension “.mif”
Copy this “sysap.mif” file in C:/resource/app/sysap.mif
Apply the patch.
If all goes well, you will see a new shutdown screen.
