Nokia 5800 Theme Effects with kastor

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7XGzAgI4I8&feature=player_embedded
What you will need :
A) Nokia 5800 hacked by HelloOx and ROMpatcher installed.
Link : http://dailymobile.se/forum/index.php/topic,1165.0.html

- Just download the HeloOx 1.2 from the attachments.
- Sign it using sis contents and a OPDA certificate.
- Transfer it to your phone.
- Install it using file manager and then going to the specific folder where you transferred the files and run it.
- Don't worry about the comparability issue just tap yes and it should install with no problem.
- Install it at your memory card.
- Then from applications run HelloOx and it will install everything needed and hack your phone.
- Then go again to applications in your phone and run ROMpatcher.
- You will find two patches : ChangesSWIpolicyPAth and open4all.
- First taping on anyone go to options then patch and then apply
- Do that again for the second patch.
- You will observe a green tickmark on the left side of the names of the patches which means you did everything just fine.
- Before you start on the next parts make sure your theme effect is turned of by going to menu>personal>themes>general> options and theme effects and off.

B) You will need a file browser. I recommended X - Plore.
Link : http://dailymobile.se/forum/index.php/topic,734.0.html

- Download it from that topic.
- Transfer it to your phone.
- Install it from file manager and going to the folder where you transferred it.
- It should install just fine.
- Then go to applications from the phone menu and start X - Plore.
- A popup will come . Just wait 3 seconds and click ok.
- At the X - Plore application go to Menu( At the bottom left) then tap tools and then tap configuration.
- Tap at Show hidden files , Rom drives , Ram drives and system folders. A tick should appear in a box at the right.
- You can close it for now.

C) You will need the c2z patch.
Link : http://microx256.googlepages.com/c2z.zip

- After downloading it open the zip package and keep it like that.
- Go to X - Plore in your phone.
- Tap on the Z Drive. Then go to the sys folder and then the bin sub folder ( the folder inside the sys folder) and searh for the file named EFSrv.dll.
- After you found it copy it to a place in your memory card which you can easily remember.
- Connect your phone to the pc and then copy the EFSrv.dll to the c2z folder at your pc. Then click on c2z.exe. A new file will be created in that folder named c2z.rmp.
- Copy the c2z.rmp and then go to your memory card in the phone using the pc and you will find a patches folder there. Paste the c2z.rmp file there.
- That instals c2z onto your phone.

D) Kastor UI
Link : http://www.2shared.com/file/5253580/205fd9f6/KastorUI_effects.html

- After your download finished extract the file and keep it at your PC.
- Connect your phone to your pc using the usb cable. Go to the KastorUI Effects folder. You will see another folder inside named KastorUI.
- Copy that KastorUI folder to your phones memory card using your pc.
- After that go to your phone menu then applications and then X - Plore.
- Open your E drive and you will find your KastorUI folder there.
- Go inside that folder and you will find another folder called effects.
- Copy this effects folder.
- Go to C drive and then resource folder and paste it there.
- Now again come back to your E Drive and KastorUI folder. Another folder called skins will be there.
- Copy that skin folder and paste it also in C:\resource.
- Now again come back to your E Drive and KastorUI Folder. You will see another folder called KastorUI. Go inside that and you will find a file called KastorUI.rmp.
- Copy KastorUI.rmp.
- Go again ti your E Drive and you will find a folder called patches.
- Paste KastorUI.rmp there.
- Now again come back to your E Drive and KastorUI folder. You will find a folder called KastorUI. Go inside there. Now you will see 5 files with the extenstion .sel
- Out of these for me only the jing and haze effect has worked.
- First lets try the jing effect. For that tap on the jing.sel file and go to Menu in X - Plore and then file and then rename.
- Rename it to 101f84b9.sel .
- Copy this 101f84b9.sel.
- Go to C Drive and then the folder resource and then the folder skins and then you will see a folder named 101f84b9. Paste 101f84b9.sel there and overwrite the existing file.
- You are almost there
- Now exit X - Plore and go to ROMpatcher. You will see 2 new patches there. One is c2z and another is KastorUI.
- First apply the KastorUI patch and then the c2z patch.
- After that go to your menu and then settings and then personal and then themes and then general and then tap on sound waves and then on options then theme effects and tap at on.
- You should some small leaves hovering at the red parts of your selected option. Try exiting the menu and then coming in again. You should notice the theme effects.
- Voila you just applied KastorUI
- Currently KastorUI is buggy and may cause problems such as no icons showing up in the menu after receiving a call and scrolling issues. To avoid that go to menu and then applications and then ROMpatcher. Turn off the c2z patch. It should work better now. Please note turning off the patch still does not make it bug free.
- Instead of the jing effect if you want the haze effect then go back to the step where we renamed jing.sel to 101f84b9.sel . Now instead of renaming jing.sel rename haze.sel to 101f84b9.sel.
- Copy this new 101f84b9.sel to C:\resource\skins\101f84b9.
- Now you can have the haze effect

compare Nokia 5800 with N97

Nokia N97 and Nokia 5800 are two different entities and comparing them is not justified at all but i have tried my level best to give a basic idea about the major differences between the two in this post. This may ease confusions of individuals who are on the brink of deciding which one to buy.


Although they support almost the same apps, you just have to browse the Nokia N97 Blog to see that they are not exactly the same.

First of all, Nokia N97 offers a full Qwerty keyboard apart from the touch screen which is only user data input option for Nokia 5800. Though both the phones share the same ARM 11 434 MHz processor they have huge differences in the memory aspect. Nokia N97 features a huge 32 GB internal memory which is further extended by a 16GB external memory capacity. Nokia 5800 has a small 81 MB internal memory and an external storage capacity of 16GB. Nokia N97 features a 5 MP camera as against N5800's 3.2 MP camera.

Talking about the physical features, N97 is quite heavier than N5800. N97 weighs 150 gm whereas N5800 weighs only 109 gm.

The screen display technology for both the phones is same however N5800 still does not support desktop widgets but this is something that can be fixed in the future firmware upgrades. N97 supports N-gage gaming platform which is still missing in Nokia 5800 but since both the phones run on a similar hardware, I do not see N-gage a distant probability for N5800.

All in all both the phones have the same technical specifications and if anything is different then it is limited to the full Qwerty keyboard option in N97. The software limitations in N5800 is something that may be eliminated soon.
