This tutorial will help you to override permissions and get access to the protected folders of your phone... It will help you modding your UIQ smartphone. Cirrently there are mods like:
- walkman player for your smartphone;
- sound mod full - which increases the volume of the phone;
- alarm mod - which helps fixing the alarm bug;
- torch application from G900
and many other mods that can be found around the internet (or forums).
This works on all UIQ3 phones like: P990, P1, M600, W950, G900, W960, G700 and etc... 
So let's start...
Firstly there are some programs you will need to open up the phone's filesystem:
Caps Switch for UIQ3:
Program that enables you to switch off the protection of all "protected folders and drives" in the phone... You just need to download and install this application:
Download:
http://www.agathosyne.de/files_ext/CapsSwitch.zip
And you also need advanced file manager... You can download yourself Swiss Manager Free 1.70:
http://rapidshare.com/files/1[....]iss_Manager_Free_1.70.rar.html
Once you have downloaded these 2 apps and installed them to phone, you are ready to use them and open up your filesystem:
1. Execute CapsSwitch application;
2. Switch capatibilities OFF;
3. Open up SwissManager and go to it's configuration settings...
4. Enable viewing of ROM drives and protected folders or etc. so you can see every possible file/folder in the phone...
5. Now you have full access to protected folders on C drive...
6. You have also access to Z drive, but it's strongly recommended NOT to touch anything there. Only you can use files from Z to copy them to C and NOT otherwise.
To make use of this and give an example I will explain how to change your installer for example. This will enable you to use unsigned Symbian UIQ application in your phone...
First you need the "modded" installer file... It can be downloaded from here:
http://rapidshare.com/files/139810441/sis-installer_mod.zip.html
You need the "installserver.exe" file from there. Now copy that file to phone, and then copy it to "c:sysbin" in phone's hidden folders/files. You would have to replace the original file so MAKE BACKUP of it before replacing with new one...
Once you copied the file you are ready to proceed...
- Turn off your Swissmanager and etc... Restart the phone then (turn off and on again)... Now you have modded phone that supports unsigned applications...
P.S. There are many other mods available around the internet (forums mainly)... You can find them and apply, but first see if they are working on your phone and firmware version before applying... And ALWAYS make backup of the files you are replacing...
WARNING: EVERYTHING YOU DO WITH THIS IS AT YOUR OWN RISK. ME OR ANYONE ELSE IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE MADE DUE TO INPROPER USAGE OF THE PROGRAMS INCLUDED IN THE GUIDE AND THE TUTORIAL ITSELF...
Feel free to ask further questions...

Download this:
http://www.agathosyne.de/files_ext/wplayer_v3_swmail_mod.zip
and copy the files from archive to phone using this capsswitch mod.
Copy the files at the same locations in the phone as they are in the archive.

Heres the simplified step by step method to install any unsigned app on phone.
(This means applications need not be signed before installing.)
step 1 - Download capsSwitch
http://www.agathosyne.de/files_ext/CapsSwitch.zip
Install CapsSwitch sis file , run program and choose "capabilities are switched off"
Step 2 -
Download - http://www.agathosyne.de/files_ext/sis-installer_mod.zip
extract file installserver.exe to PC
copy the file installserver.exe to any folder your phone using file explorer mode in PC suite
use x-plore or any file manager to copy installserver.exe from that folder to 'c:\\sys\\bin\' on your phone
Posted here earlier too-

BTW The search button is a bit problematic, throws up really old results, even when I tweak around with it.
Or maybe am just not using it proper

An sis file of the walkman player would be really useful, is there a download link?
