15.Write C: \ CUST_THEME and press ENTER
16.Go to C  you will find the file CUST_THEME
17.Copy the file IFWD_DownloadDll.dll into lg units
18.Edit CUST_THEME whit WinImage  download here --> http://www.megaupload.com/?d=NQA4AVYY
19.Follow this  this a part of AQA's tutorial)

Open up "CUST_THEME" (not your backup one!!). A window might come up saying "Select the partition to connect to" ...if it does come up just click "OK", if it doesn't that doesn't matter
If you click the folder "lgapp" you will get a list of more folders. The one we are using in this tutorial is the folder "dmf", so go ahead and click on the folder. Now you will see alot of folders and a few DMF files (if you scroll down). Delete ALL these files and folders. Make sure the "dmf" folder is completely empty.
Now minimize WinImage, open up your compressed theme files (usually in "RAR" or "ZIP" format) and extract it somewhere, for example, your desktop.
Your downloaded theme will usually contain a folder called "dmf", or sometimes just a bunch of files (just like in the picture above). If the theme contains a bunch of files, extract ALL of them into one folder, for example "dmf". When the extraction is done, open up the folder where you extracted all the files. Select all the files and drag it into the "dmf" folder in WinImage. When it's done, save CUST_THEME by pressing CTRL + S. Now close WinImage.
Now, open up the "KP500-Utils-EN" application. Before you do anything, make sure your phone is still switched off, without the memory card, sim card and battery inside the phone.
In "KP500-Utils-EN", type in C press enter, then \\.\USB1 press enter, then C:\KP500.flb (or the address where your KP500.flb file is located) press enter, then CUST_THEME (type this if your CUST_THEME is in the same folder as the "KP500-Utils-EN" app, otherwise type the address where your CUST_THEME file is located) and press enter.
Now quickly plug in your phone to the computer and wait about 5-7 minutes. After this, on the "KP500-Utils-EN" app, it will take you back to the menu and your phone will turn on. You can close the "KP500-Utils-EN" app now, and look at your phone to check that the theme is okay.
If your happy with the theme, turn off your phone, disconnect it from the computer, put in your memory card, sim card and battery back in the phone and turn it on.
You're finished!

P.S: if you want to change the theme, just follow the steps from where I said "Open up WinImage" and carry on from there.

I don't have a cookie fresh. Just KP500 Cookie, GW520 Calisto and GD510 Pop.
