Are You Missing Out on Key Guards?

The key guard is the image displayed on your Sidekick when it's on idle. All my themes come with a key guard included and sometimes the key guard image is the best part of the theme but since the key guard is never loaded automatically on the new Sidekicks (08/LX/Slide), it seems a lot of people are missing out on them. I don't think anyone should miss out on key guards so I'll briefly explain how to load them on your phone.

1 - Load the theme to your phone as you normally would but do not disconnect the phone from your computer.

2 - Find the theme's folder and copy the JPG file (some themes may have more than one key guard). If you have thumbnails enabled, the key guard is always the biggest image on there.

3 - Paste the JPG file in the DCIM folder of your phone's memory card then disconnect the phone from your computer.

4 - On your Phone go to: Settings... Key Guard & Security... and Select the Image.

5 - Press and Hold the back arrow button to view the key guard!

You can also watch the video on "How To Put Themes On A Sidekick",at the end of the video there's a part that shows you how to load the key guard.

Here are some cool key guards for you to try!

Grime Is the Winner!

The winner of the Cracked theme poll was Grime so here is the Cracked 08 Grime theme. This is similar to my previous cracked themes over at sklxthemes.com but now with some improvements. This theme is meant to make your phone look messed up but It will not damage your phone in any way. It has tweaked/clipped versions of the original 08 hinges, the bubbles don't move but I left the default icons this time for usability. If you'd like the version with no icons leave me a comment. This theme has cracked zoom effects and the second background is now completely cracked as you can see on the screen shot. A cracked T-Mobile key guard is included. The poll is still running so cast your vote for the next cracked theme!
