When I first got my Sidekick LX I wanted to download free themes onto my
sidekick LX as soon as humanly possible. I figured it would be easy,
everything would be plug and play. I'd find what I wanted, and wallah,
I'd upload it to my phone with ease. However from what I gathered off of
the internet, nothing worked. I followed the directions given to me from other users without missing a beat, but hot dammit still,
nothing worked. I'm sure you yourself have run into the same issues.
You followed the directions given to you from someone off of the
internet; possibly a you tube video, or a step by step guide in a
forum... and still you can't seem to get those themes uploaded for use
on your LX right? Well I discovered a way to do it that no one told me
about. I figured this one out on my own, 5 hours after wanting to rip
hair from my skull that is. It's simple, just follow these directions.
1. First go find a theme. There are websites you can download from. Do
a google search for Sidekick LX themes. I usually download off of
SLXthemes.com.
2. Pick your theme, there are a ton to choose from. Then hit download. DO NOT SAVE TO FILE. Just hit OPEN!!!!
3. Now that the file is downloads, but not saved (only opened), plug
in your Sidekick LX's USB plug to your PC, and to the phone.
4. Wait for your LX's folders to load up.
5. In the Open View Me Folder (should be at the bottom) you should
have 2 folders inside of this folder. You will make a third folder by
left clicking your mouse. Choose, create NEW FOLDER.
Label this folder Themes.
Now unplug your phone from the PC, and wait a few moments.
6. Plug phone back into PC, and wait for it to load up again. Go back
into the folder where you have saved your Themes Folder, and open it by
clicking it. It should be empty.
7. Drag the open file you downloaded from the internet into the theme
folder. Wait for it to upload, and then unplug your Sidekick LX from the
PC.
8. Wait a few moments for the phone to recognize it.
9. Next, go back to your Sidekick LX, and hit the upper left square
key and look for the Backgrounds file. Go into that, and you should now
have a new file labeled Imported. Here you should find your downloaded
theme.
10. You can only download one theme at a time.
Uploading more than one at a time won't work. One at a time!!! It's
annoying, but the process is easy once you get the hang of it.
Hopefully this has helped. It took me hours to figure it out, with
numerous attempts. This worked on my Windows Vista laptop, and my XP PC.
S hopefully it works for you too.
