Installing skins on the transflash card

Many people have problems installing themes on their motorola phones. Some don't even know whether motorola phones can be skinned. Here i'll provide you with a guide on how to install skins on your motorola phones. I have posted this guide also on mobile9.com and many people have benifited from it. May be you would too. If u have any problems implementing this guide then fee l free to comment on my lens. I'll be more than happy to help you. :)

Here's the guide!!! 

Since people like changing their skins a lot and skins take up a lot of space, at least as far as the phone's memory is concerned, a procedure has been created to install skins onto the transflash card, and use a program to manage the installation of the skins while you are out and about.

Now you need to download the program cTheme 1.1
http://www.thedumpinggrounds.com/motorola6/zip/ctheme.zip .
Now start Moto Midlets Manager. Click the "Trans-Flash" tab at the top and then click the "Install" button at the bottom and select "JAD file (recommended)..."
Photobucket
The open dialog box will now appear. Navigate to where you saved the cTheme 1.1 download folder and highlight the "cTheme.jad" file and click "Open".
Photobucket
The program will now be installed onto the transflash card. Click the "Restart" button.
Photobucket
Once your see your phone restart, close the Moto Midlets Manager program and unplug your phone from the data cable. Now switch your phone's USB connection to "Memory Card" mode. To do this, press the menu key then go to "Settings", press "Select", go to "Connection", press "Select", go to "USB Settings", press "Select" then press "Change", scroll to "Memory Card" and press "Select". Connect your phone to the data cable. Click your Windows' "Start" button and go to "My Computer" and click on the link assigned to your phone, which is now recognized as a removable storage disk.
Photobucket
Create a folder called "skins".
Photobucket
Find the skins on your computer that you want to put on the phone. Copy the ski and dat files from all your skins to the skins folder you just created.
Photobucket
Disconnect your phone from the data cable. Press the menu key and click on "Games & Apps", then click "Select" then scroll to "[Memory Card]", click "Select", go to "cTheme" and click "Select". After a short delay you'll get a screen that says:

Select an option:

>Skins
>Boots
>Packages

Highlight "Skins" and press the center keypad button. The next screen says:

Select an option:

Install skin
Remove skin

Press "OK".

At the next screen select the skin you want to install and press the center keypad button.

You'll get a wait message while it installs the skin and then the phone will vibrate or chirp to confirm installation. Press "OK". Turn off and turn on the phone. Press the key, go to "Settings", click "Select", go to "Personalize", click "Select", go to "Skins", click "Select" and choose the skin you want and click "Select".
This way u can keep adding more skins. I tried to make it correct. But i might have left some errors. So please correct me wherever u need to.
I found to how do this mod on motox.info. If u want more guides like this. U can check out on motox.info.

Note: This won't work for all skins. Some of the skins might only work when installed on phone.

Motos are gr8 lookers thats for sure!

    My phone doesn't have a memory card!
    Is any of this possible with a CDMA phone?
    I've been trying for literally years and nothing works.
    I have a RZR v3a
