I accidentally created a folder using p2kcommander called "moto". well it never showed up in the list because "Moto" already exists (notice the capitalization difference). It seems that p2kcommander does not recognize the difference between "moto" and "Moto". Well, on my v3 razr I went to change around my skins and I noticed that there are 2 moto listings. one is with a capital M and one is with the lowercase m.

I then went into p2kman and I noticed that under the skins directory there is a folder called "Moto" (which contains my default skin) and a folder called "moto" which contains a file called "s5vi.vxxxstuff.com" which is obviously a little advertiesment put there by p2kcommander. I delete the advertisement file but I can not delete the moto folder in p2kman and the folder isnt recognized in p2kcommander. When I delete the advertisement the folder dissapears but the menu listing on my phone still exists.

This obviously not a huge problem, just a slight annoyance. I would like to fix it though. Anyone know any way to delete this skin listing in a simple fashion?

also, a preemptive thanks to samsung because I've been using his tutorials for a while.

recreate the folder "moto" - i.e. exactly the same case. It will have a file in it again. Delete the folder with the file in it.

P2Kcommander only displays non-empty folders - that is the reason it puts the file in it.

p2kcommander cant tell the difference between moto and Moto. so it doesnt display 2 folders. it just displays Moto. I can see both folders in p2kman, but not p2kcommander.

Folder gone - but not sure how - tried deleting in p2kman - said it didn't - refreshed and still there - went 2 p2kcomm and created "test" folder - back to p2kman and moto folder(lowercase) gone. hhmmmm

Can't make a sensible suggestion - but i obviously did something right icon_wink.gif

Experiment along the same lines - DO NOT DELETE THE Moto skin. If it works report back so we can try to come up with a solid soln if not report back so we can try to pin this down.

Or can someone with greater knowledge just put us out of our misery;)

I solved the problem. Not in the way I had hoped, though. I bit the bullet and I deleted the Moto skin after making a backup. Then I restarted the phone so I only had my Silver skin. I then recreated the "moto" folder in p2kcommander and then deleted it again. I then restarted the phone again. Finally I reuploaded the Moto skin into the correct directory ("Moto") and restarted one last time. The phone is back to normal now.
