Re: Preferences Icon Gone...

Nope havent changed theme, and i cant because I cant get to the preferences icons. No applications or settings either >.< It was there, I re did my Myfaves icons, and changed my wallpaper, installed opera mini and gmail, rebooted, then the preferences icon is missing. Maybe I should try installing the newer .184 OS and see if it fixes it?

Er ya, options

I am using the Zen theme which was default, and I cant change the theme because I dont have the options icon. Waiting for the .184 OS to finish downloading, then Ill install it.

Re: Preferences Icon Gone...

~via BB (wap.pinstack.com)~ Can you list the Icons that you do have? Are they all Application Icons, or do you have any folder Icons, with sup menus?

Re: Preferences Icon Gone...

dyep its best you do. By the way disabling dial function is useful if you want to use shortcuts.

O= options
M=mail
n=messenger
etc

good luck

Re: Preferences Icon Gone...

Thanks, I did install two themes from this website with the app loader, but I havent used either one, dont know if that could contribute to my problem. FF7 Theme and a spiderman 3 theme, just incase how do I uninstall them, right through the app loader? Neither has a delete option on them. actually in the middle of posting I accidently clicked the Spiderman 3 theme, and went to the home screen, and the options icon was there. Went back to the Tmo Zen theme, and its gone again, seems like a problem with the tmo theme, def gonna do a reinstall.

Re: Preferences Icon Gone...

to uninstall, simply UNCHECK the box next to the theme in application loader.

ya, this is a new one for me, as i have never seen this happen with a default ZEN theme...normally someone says 'my options' disappeared and its bc they changed to a theme that puts settings menus in a folder

good luck, keep us posted on the outcome
