    followed directions but skins still will not work on M6

    does anyone have any idea why my m6 wont show new skins? i matched the correct FW version, extracted the contents to a folder on my computer where i keep the skins, and when it extracted it i dragged only the BIN file over to the main folder of the m6. after it copies i unplug it from the usb and it starts to update my music library, then after that i power it off and then on again and every skin i have tried to put on it says that there is an error and starts uploading my music library again but it a weird language. then it goes back to my old background and shows nothing but the background. can anyone help?

    Have you tried upgrading your firmware? One you can trust would come directly from the official Meizu site. Add this, along with matching skin resource.bin.
    As a reassurance, back up your data first.

    Russelb, you may always convert your chosen skin to the 2004.4 version if you download your skin and the official resource file and the Resource editor program, then rename each bitmap from the skinned firmware to the non-skinned official one's numbers (it mostly just shifts numbers around in groups, a multi-rename tool is highly helpful). Then it leaves you with only a few missing pictures which you can take from the original skin. The loading animation is changed and so you can't use it without painting. And the highlite bars have changed sizes, so you'd need to resize those. (Irfan View's a blessing). It should take about an hour for you, and I guess one can survive that much work. You should also post converted skins here maybe!

    Hello Meizu Miniplayer, I can't read your signature. Can you please make it a bit larger ?
