  • Download and move any effects to E:/Effects
  • Open Settings => Themes => General => Change the Theme from Current one to any other.
  • Then open Settings => Themes => General => Options => Theme Effects => On/Off. If they are already enabled turn them OFF and then back ON. (Effects must start working, if not, just reboot your device.) (For Belle FP1 / FP2 this option doesn’t exist)

  • Voila, enjoy awesome theme effects on your Nokia N8 Symbian^3 / Anna / Belle Refresh / FP1 Smart Phone.

How to disable these effects / how to revert back to original effects?

Delete the effects folder from E:/ that you had created on step number 3 and reboot your phone. You’ll be back on original pre-installed effects.
