I have had my N95 for about a month.  I have downloaded quite a few themes from online and made my own.  Today my phone froze (which happens quite a few times a week) and I could not get it to do anything other than by taking out the battery and putting it back in.  When I did, my theme reset to the standard Nokia Nseries1 theme.  When I went to change it back to another theme, all of the themes I have downloaded were gone.  Not one of them remains, just the Nokia standard ones.  All of my other files seem to be in tact - my photos, calendar and applications like shakeSMS and Conversation are there.  Where did the themes end up going?  Does anyone know please?  Can I get them back?

Hi,

check in Applications Manager, there should be all installed applications, themes too. If there aren't, they have just disappeared in very strange way, probably caused by SW crash. You have to install all themes anew. Maybe you should reinstall Software or make a soft reset first.

OOooohhhh!  Thank you.  I found them in app. manager.   Not sure how to resurrect them though.  When I click on them, it says View  details, Remove, View log, Settings, Help and Exit.  None of these options seem to restore them back to where they were.   Their status is "installed".  Very strange!  Sorry to be a pain!

Try to retrieve in Files manager - mass storage and phone memory - sometimes there are sis files of installed applications, which you can use to reinstalling.

If you don't find them, you will have to install once more these applications.

To avoid such a problems, you should regulary make a memory backup, which let you restore your data and settings in any crash case or after Software update.

You can use Nokia Content Copier to make such a backup.

Thanks very much for your help.  I can't seem to resurrect them.  Never mind!  There are plenty more themes in the sea!  I will definitely use content copier more though... I just made another back-up.  Thanks again.

You are welcome.

Go to mosh.nokia.com there are many themes.

Cause you can't find installing sis files, then before you install new themes, uninstall broken. 

Download files from Internet to your PC and for installation in phone use Nokia PCSuite, you will always able to reinstall your applications.

Cheers

Thanks for the advice.  I am learning fast!  I am now backing up my phone more regularly and if I really like a theme, I am saving it to a file on my PC.

Congratulations, It's good.

You always are able this way to reinstall your favorite applications/themes when something goes wrong with phone. And regulary backup (once a week, months) limits your eventualy losses to minimum.

Take care
