Abstract
A system is provided for allowing customization of a menu structure of a mobile telecommunications device whose menu structure is managed by firmware. The system includes static and editable menu configuration files. The static menu configuration file includes information related to static menus for the device. The editable menu configuration file contains a customizable set of menu parameters related to customized menus for the device. The system also includes first and second pointers. The first pointer points to the static menu configuration file. The first pointer promotes loading static menus by the device based on the static menu configuration file. The second pointer points to the editable menu configuration file. The second pointer promotes loading customized menus by the device based on the editable menu configuration file. The system also includes an application loaded on the device that allows for editing of the editable menu configuration file.
