I am very new to sonyerricsson and android. I hadn't experience with them before. Can you explain what is "sideload"? I want to paste appripriate files in their locations. For example, I want to receive some pictures via blue tooth or usb connection. I expect to see them in "gallery". The same is expected about themes, videos, ...

you can't install themes on this phone, the apps must be APK files, if you transfer pictures/videos through bluetooth they will be at the bluetooth folder

it depends how he send it, if it's to your gmail, open the gmail app -> then you can install it directly from here w/o downloading the app, if it's through MMS you have to long press on it -> save it, it will be saved on downloads, if it's through bluetooth it will be under the bluetooth folder.

go to the market and download OI File Manager

yeah, if you look at my link above on how to sideload apps.

Download OI File Manager -> once you have it open it -> bluetooth folder -> tap on the apk and install it

I sent a file via bluetooth and as you can see in the picture, it says it is saved in /mnt/sdcard/bluetooth/

You need a file manager
