Searched for the answer but its gotta be something very simple im missing. Trying to use the Aurora base skin,it contains:

imgbattery
imgcommon
imgebook
imgexplorer
imggame
imgimage
imgmain
imgmovie
imgmusic
imgsetting
imgtestmode
imgutil
imgall.gpu

Tried running the .gpu with all the ways i know but it dont seem to do anything, what am i missing? are there differences on how to install specific skin types? Excuse my noobness,

Any help appreciated.
 
i put it all in its own folder on the sd card and ran the .gpu from the utility menu, the screen goes black for maybe 1/2 a second and returns me to the main menu. Isnt this supposed to give me a nice looking main menu page? Anyone know what im doing wrong? All ive done on it before was update the firmware to 1.0.1 to 1.1.0, i first used the updater that u dont need a sd card to do, i then saw the firmware update at the bottom of the firmware update page so used that one next, maybe this did something bad ? :(
 
the skin was in \skins\Aurora Base Skin\ when i 1st tried, then i tried \Aurora Base Skin\, then \ (in the root of the sd card) but got the same results from all of them, about 1/2 second of black screen then back to the main menu (with the default skin).

Thought i better mention that i couldnt get the gp2x to work using the usb cable from it to my windows server 2003 pc, so i used the little white usb card reader to put the stuff on the card, would this make any difference?

Any ideas?
 
i then saw the firmware update at the bottom of the firmware update page so used that one next, maybe this did something bad ?

You have to go to Tools->NAND->SysUtils->NAND_unlock. And then install the skin. Your NAND is mounted read-only so no wonder it isn't working.
