I decided to play around with my W800i and hack it’s features as I want. I used the Far Manager with SEFP (Sony Ericsson Flash Plugin) to access the phone configuration. Here are the stuff I did with my phone. (Use at your own risk)

Remove Camera Sound
I wasn’t able to find the configuration file for the camera sound; so I simply deleted the audio files that’s used by the camera and got it done.

/FS/tpa/preset/system/sound/camerafocus.3gp
/FS/tpa/preset/system/sound/camerashutter.3gp
/FS/tpa/preset/system/sound/cameratimer.mid

Remove SMS Limit
Edit the SMS storage configuration file “/ifs/settings/messaging/pref_store.txt” and change “/smsdata” to “/tpa”.

Removing Operator Name
Ooops I didn’t like the big Dilog GSM hiding part of my Wallpaper, I got rid of it by editing the /FS/tpa/system/layout/layout.xml file.
