Thank you it worked. I used the "Dolphin Browser". It helped a lot.

You probably didn't copy the skin file in a "skins" folder on your SD card. Read again the instructions in the first post of the topic ;)

I tried to download skins with Internet Explorer, Google Chrome and Safari and nothing worked. Cannot figure out how to download skins. Cyril, your answers are short and non-descript. You expect non-tech savvy people to understand your lingo and the majority of us do not understand. The best way to educate us is to release a youtube video of the instructions.

Can you elaborate about what "nothing works" mean? Do you mean that you cannot download a skin (which one by the way?) or that you don't understand how to install it on your phone?
