    Hacking the File System of the K750

    File System Hacking:
    With access to the file system, you can change many system settings, delete predefined content, change menu icons and layout, silence the camera, remove operator logo, and many other cool things.

    The techniques below assume you have some understanding of how to access the internal file system of your phone.

    Remove SMS storage limitation
    You can remove the storage limitation so that you can store more than 500 sms�s. This trick works by changing the sms message store to the tpa folder, where the message limitation is not in force

    Copy the file /ifs/settings/messaging/pref_store.txt from the phone to the computer, make a backup, then edit it to read /tpa instead of /smsdata, then delete the file from the phone then copy in the new version.

    Now you need to create the message store in the /tpa folder. Create the following folder structure in the /tpa folder:

    /tpa/messaging
    /tpa/messaging/sms
    /tpa/messaging/sms/msg
    /tpa/messaging/sms/FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
    /tpa/messaging/sms/FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF/pending
    /tpa/messaging/sms/FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF/sm
    /tpa/messaging/sms/FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF/sr
    /tpa/system/messaging/sms

    Restart the phone. You can now stored as many messages as you like ;-)

    HOWEVER, in practice you can only store about 1000 messages, beyond and the inbox access becomes painfully slow. In theory you can store 40000 or more.

    Camera Sounds - Change
    The camera sounds depend on the files camerashutter.3gp and camerafocus.3gp. You can change the camera sounds by replacing these files with your own versions. The new sound files must have the same names as the old ones, and be in 3gp format, preferably audio only.

    Delete the existing files from /tpa/preset/system/sound and then copy in the new versions.

    Camera Sounds - Silence
    Method 1: Disable Camera Sound completely

    The camera sounds come from the files camerashutter.3gp and camerafocus.3gp. If these files don�t exist, the camera is silenced. This means the camera makes no sound even if the phone is not in Silent Mode. You could also delete only camer
