K800 File System

File System Access For the K800

File System Access - The Theory:
What is the File System? Every phone has an internal file system. If you can access this internal file system, a whole bunch of interesting hacks become possible. For example you can change you phone's startup screen, change the camera sound, change the acoustic drivers, just to name a few.

The Method:
There are currently 2 free methods for accessing the internal file system of the K800. Both methods utilise the DCU-60 cable that comes supplied with the phone. To use these methods you need to have the USB driver installed.

You can use the guide here to learn how to use XS++.

Get the most out of your K800:

Remove Online Content links within File Manager:
You can remove the links at the top of each media folder in the file manager. These links mean there is one less item viewable on screen and if you don't use them they can go.
Delete these files:

Start up and shutdown graphics can be any 240x320 image. I used jpg's, other's may be supported. The file must have a specific name with no file extension. Here are the locations of the graphics on your phone, and the names the file should have (note their are no file extensions on the files):
