Anyone want to help me mod my phone? Its a LGdlite/GD570.

A little while ago, I found a file that was made when the phone accessed the microSD,to log the last song played. If anyone would like to see them, I'll put them
up. I want to mod the theme,(add colors&designs) and have the text messages saved to the microSD. (microSD is 16gb) I can work with Windows or Ubuntu. The phone can view .txt files.
Here's what the phone left on the mircoSD fs:/card0/audio/music/01 - meds (feat.vv of the kills).mp3

I came up with an idea.
Make a script to change the default save location of the text messages,to the microSD.
But I have no idea how to script....

To change the theme,I think I'll need to change what happens when you connect to a computer. Maybe have something to access the phone's main files, I imagine that adding colors would be simple enough.

So is anyone good at scripting,or know anything that might of help?

bump

other info.

The current phone's software is kinda,useless.
I mean, it can hold 1000 contacts. But only 500 texts. You'd think they'd allow texts to be saved to a microSD but no, its all being saved to the phone. They released a gray model of the phone...with an updated U.I. And they have the "Software Update" which only allows you to check for an update every 24hours. But since the release of the gray model, there has not been a update. So I've decided to take matters into my own hands...I am not too concerned about it becoming bricked.

My guess is that you would have to alter part of the operating system. Doing so would require the correct compiler and the knowledge of how the phone's software works. Is there not an option already implemented for where the texts are saved?

I would suggest posting this on another website dedicated to modding phones. Good luck.

There is no option to save the text messages to another location.
Thank You for the advice, I'll try that too.

any sites you'd recommend?

Well, I'm not sure exactly how texts are stored on a phone, but my best guess would be that they are most definitely not text files. They probably are stored in some kind of "database" file somewhere on the internal memory of the phone. I guess what you could do would be to find where the OS is stored on the phone's board, probably on some kind of ROM chip or whatever and get a reader to try and read the OS off it. But from then on I don't know how much further you would go. The OS is probably not open sourced, so you can't just rewrite the ROM with an edited version of the OS because you have no OS code to edit.

But anyway, the storage of the messages is probably dictated in the OS itself, and that would require too much work trying to open that up and changing the entire storage functions of the phone in order to save the database anywhere. It'd be like trying to reprogram Word to save its preference settings as text files on your desktop, I'd imagine.

Most likely, this can't be done, and it definitely cannot be done with a script. The OS on there probably doesn't even recognize any script languages anyway.

You could try to get an Android phone though! There's plenty of SMS text backup apps that save your texts to XML files that you can import and export from your phone
