Besides enjoying my phones theme and changing it from time to time, being able to set any mp3 as a ringtone and using different java apps, the only thing that’s missing for me is to be able to change the font lol! So i went ahead and re-flashed it to change the boring font to my current favorite ~~ Humana Sans ITC. It’s hard if you don’t know anything about flashing like i did the first time, it was scary but it is the only way to do it since Nokia 6301b belongs to a Series 40/s40 phones which means you can only do so much unlike those high end Nokia s60 smartphones which changing  fonts is as easy as a pie.

This is my second time flashing my phone so i got the idea on how it works, still i wanted to be extra careful and searched for how to’s and read them carefully. Here’s the result~~Before and After. Lovin’ it! 

If anyone wants to do it with your s40 phone, you need Nokia Modding Tools (NMT) for editing the font (there’s a guide on that link on how to use that tool) and Phoenix 2008  (when you get to that link, scroll down to find the Preparation and Installation guide) or recent versions for flashing your phone. You can check here for your phones specification, under the quick search on the top left. Don’t do it if you’re unsure with what you’re doing though coz you don’t want to end up with a bricked phone. Double check everything and make sure you followed every instructions and you have installed the right firmware for your phone. And don’t forget to backup your phone to your flash card using “sync & backup” under (menu>Settings>Sync & backup) and remove it before flashing.

Oh and btw if you’re wondering where i get my themes check ownskin [dot] com. They have so much kawaii themes on there that i get confused lol! I ended up having tons of them saved up, so you might also like them. 

k, Hope ya’ll have a nice day and God Bless! 
Toodles!
