Orange France theme on 7100 handheld - BlackBerryForums.com : Your Number One BlackBerry Community

jibi · **OS:** 4.6.1.174

Previously, if the Orange theme was installed (net_rim_theme_119.cod), you were unable to activate it.

Anyhow, you will need the small icons theme (net_rim_theme_blackberry.cod) installed in order to activate the Orange France theme. For this, you can either download the themes from someone who has posted them on this forum somewhere, or you can simply install a 4.0.2 OS for the 7290 onto your PC, or you can install the 4.0.2 JDE software onto your PC... take your pick. Copy the two files mentioned above, net_rim_theme_119.cod and net_rim_theme_blackberry.cod, to the Java directory for your 7100 software.

7100 Java directory (version numbers may vary):
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\Shared\Loader Files\7100-v4.0.2.36_P1.8.0.139\Java

7290 Java directory (version numbers may vary):
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\Shared\Loader Files\7290-v4.0.2.36_P1.8.0.139\Java

In the 7100 installation directory (one step up from the above path), open BlackBerry.alx with Notepad and edit the following lines:

Code:

                <fileset Theme="Normal" Colour="True" KeyboardType="Qwerty" Java="1.0">
                        <files>
                                net_rim_theme_blackberry.cod
                        </files>
                </fileset>

and

Code:

                <fileset Colour="True" KeyboardType="Qwerty" Java="1.0" _vendorID="1|119">
                        <files>
                                net_rim_theme_119.cod
                        </files>
                </fileset>

to be

Code:

                <fileset Theme="Normal" Colour="True" KeyboardType="Reduced" Java="1.0">
                        <files>
                                net_rim_theme_blackberry.cod
                        </files>
                </fileset>

and

Code:

                <fileset Colour="True" KeyboardType="Reduced" Java="1.0">
                        <files>
                                net_rim_theme_119.cod
                        </files>
                </fileset>

Now open Desktop Manager and it should prompt you automatically to update the 4.0.2 Core Software. Just go through the procedure and it will load both of these for you. Et voila...

I just love finding things purely by stupid mistake... hehe.

If you happen to grab the Blackberry JDE 4.0.2, copy the net_rim_theme_blackberry_large.cod file in the fashion mentioned above and edit the following line:

Code:

                <fileset Theme="Large" Colour="True" KeyboardType="Qwerty" Java="1.0">
                        <files>
                                net_rim_theme_blackberry_large.cod
                                net_rim_theme_blackberry.cod
                        </files>
                </fileset>

You want to edit the Theme and KeyboardType tags to be:

Code:

                <fileset Theme="Normal" Colour="True" KeyboardType="Reduced" Java="1.0">
                        <files>
                                net_rim_theme_blackberry_large.cod
                                net_rim_theme_blackberry.cod
                        </files>
                </fileset>

This looks much nicer, imo, than the Small Icons theme.

Could you post a screenshot?

jibi · **OS:** 4.6.1.174

sure, give me just a bit and i'll post up screenshots of everything.

xombi · 08-22-2005, 11:47 AM

Jibi,

do you have a version of the small icon theme for the 7100 which the calculator works on, when I tried it last I used to get an error message!?

jibi · **OS:** 4.6.1.174

The 72xx calculators do not work properly, although they are now working with 4.0.2 version of the software. You can find it listed as net_rim_theme_blackberry.cod from the instructions listed above on how to get the Orange theme file.

jibi · **OS:** 4.6.1.174

Here are all 8 themes that can be loaded onto the 7100 handheld. I will most likely do a new post that can take the place of the current 7100 themes sticky post with updated, permanent links for the files and all that good crap.

John Clark · **OS:** 4.6.1.250

This is the best themes solution to date! I've installed all of them using this method and it works great. The calculator has some issues and the handheld locks up with a spinning hour glass the first time you try to select a picture to use as a desktop. I have to turn the handheld off and back on to fix it and then I can select pictures ok, but so far, no other issues. good work, guys!

respess · **orange france -** 08-22-2005, 09:55 PM

hey jibi, can you help us with links to net_rim_theme_119.cod and net_rim_theme_blackberry.cod?

jibi · **OS:** 4.6.1.174

I am about to put up a 'definitive guide' thread for BlackBerry handhelds and all 8 available themes. Give me a few more minutes. My eyes are going blind from sitting in the dark here looking at XML for the past few hours. hehe.

jibi, thanks for posting the orange theme and making it available OTA. Looks great!

codyman · 08-23-2005, 02:45 PM

I downloaded the new themes, loaded them to my 7100t and played around with them. I switched back to the t-mobile theme and now the date and time still show but not in the same font or in bold. The date/time seems to be bigger than before and not bolded.

How do I get it back to the way it was (running 3.8 btw)

jibi · **OS:** 4.6.1.174

you will most likely need to use javaloader to load the net_rim_theme_tmobile_240x260.cod file from your 3.8 installation.

Dawg · **OS:** 4.5.0.138

hey jib you think these will work on the 7520?

codyman · 08-23-2005, 03:15 PM

Where do I get javaloader from?
Will the file you mention be on my original CD?

Dawg, look in my other post and get the ZIP from there. From what I can see, from the simulator for the 7520, they do work. Whether or not they will in real world usage, I do not know...

I think my next little adventure, albeit a stupid one, is to load the JDE OS to my handheld to see what happens.

Dawg · **OS:** 4.5.0.138

ok bro ill give it a whirl and see what happens

Dawg · **OS:** 4.5.0.138

worked like a charm

Dawg · 07:00 PM

buddapaw · 08-23-2005, 09:40 PM

El Chino · 08-26-2005, 03:36 AM

I downloaded the Orange theme via OTA.

How do I remove it?

Tried application loader and it does not show up on the list

jasbart · **OS:** v4.5.0.11

I uploaded the Orange theme the other night and it works fine so far, with the exception of the calculator. Error message is "Uncaught exception: java.lang.illegalArgumentException

Any thoughts?

Thanks, Jim

jibi · **OS:** 4.6.1.174

The calculator won't work.

El Chino, go into the Applications then click your trackwheel and click on Modules. Its listed as net_rim_theme_119.

Dawg · **OS:** 4.5.0.138

the calculator works on the orange theme on the 7520 I know I am using it as we speak

those are my only complaints about all of the themes, although i use the calculator on my phone about as much as i use umm.. okay, i couldn't think of anything witty to reply back with, so use your imagination...

i hate having to wake up on saturday mornings, THEN being volunteered to drive someone to Hartsfield. ugh!
