Install Android 2.1 UI on Nokia S60v5 mobile

Android NokiaAndroid 5800

I was searching for a solution to run android on my Nokia 5230. I found some YouTube videos with tag Android and Nokia. After a long search I found some solution to tweak the user interface of Nokia with an Android. Here are the steps to change Nokia UI to an Android UI on Symbian 60V5. Remember this will change only the User interface. You can always uninstall.

1. Download GDesk.rar from following link

2. Extract  and rename the folder as   “+GDesk”

3. Copy “+GDesk” folder to your phone memory

4. Go to +GDesk\Gdesk v0.33g Install SIS And install all applications, files listed below

GDesk.0.33g.SIS
GDeskAgnViewS60.0.33g.sis
GDeskClockS60.0.33g.sis
GDeskInfoViewS60.0.33g.sis
GDeskNotepadS60.0.33g.sis
GDeskShortcutsS60.0.33g.sis
GDeskTaskManS60.0.33g.sis

Normally Phone will not allow you to install GDeskTaskManS60.0.33g.sis. It will give following error

Certificate is expired

You have to sign the application and install it
How can you sign an application? Generate a certificate using this site and sign it.

5. Now run GDesk from your installed applications.

Location : Memory card\+GDesk\Android 2.1.gdd

7. Now go to options and tick following option for better result

It is compactable with Nokia 5230, 5800, 5235 and 5233
