You can also set the time for how long the trackball stays on, 15 to 120 seconds.

Super bonus: The trackball is now super, super bright in the color of your choice. Much brighter than my Sharpie mod.

There is a free trial period at Handango. Download it now. If you don't then you are a loser.

Be brave, lock yourself in a closet. Do the test for at least 1/2 hour. Report back your findings.

Bonus Tip: Take some water and trail mix into the closet with you, if needed.

ROFLMAO!!!

chadscott · 07-12-2008, 01:54 PM

this is sweet!

IISaiNtII · 07-12-2008, 03:11 PM

and this is better than metsfans free color-changing app how?

darkamikaze · **OS:** 4.6.0.266

I'm hoping this is compatible with the latest 8100 .37 version :o

pinkfrog · 07-12-2008, 07:58 PM

Thanks

Cakk15 · 07-13-2008, 12:09 AM

That's right. The BlackBerry Pearl / 8100 has multiple LED's which allow for the color changes to take place. The other newer devices only have one 'white' LED in them. They can typically be colored by using a permanent marker, say... Red, Blue, Green! Not too bad either. That's what I had to do to my 8310 and 8820!

I've tried xColorEvent and ColorPearl and they both seem to have problems with the latest version of the firmware. Whenever the coloring is enabled, all of the color LEDs are on at full intensity, no matter which color is selected. It only started doing this after I updated the firmware with the version that's stickied.

Does this application have the same problems?

johnny00 · 07-13-2008, 11:08 AM

This is an awesome program, thanks!

I remember a few posts back saying this one doesn't work with 4.5.0.37
so I believe we have to be patient ...again

atleast the media player is great!

Jamesparadise · 07-14-2008, 12:20 PM

I wonder if it works well with os 4.5?

a80baby · **when does the track ball light up? -** 07-15-2008, 01:10 PM

Ok this is a stupid question but i am new BB user... and i saw this program and want to download it... but as i am looking at my phone when does the track ball light up? is there a setting that needs to be on/off? i just called my phone, sent a text, etc and it doesnt light up.. i guess i could be that my bb is messed up, but i tend to think its something i turned off or never turned on!

I just downloaded the trial version to see if it worked - no, sadly, those of us with 8100s who have gone to 4.5 have no color changing ability. And, sadly, as the 2nd gen Pearls are now gaining ground, I wouldn't hold our collective breaths waiting for an upgrade to either Color Your Trackball, or colorPearl.

Won't work for you since you're on Verizon with the 8130. You're stuck with the white led that it came with since that is the only one.

a80baby · **changes led light -** 07-29-2008, 02:31 PM

OK so i downloaded the color light program from handango and since it cant change the track ball it changes the LED light, not great but still pretty cool.. my problem is that it flashes and does its thing when i turn the program on but then if i get a call, text or email it stops and never comes back on unless i go back and turn it on... what is the point of that??? has anyone else used this program for a verizon 8130?? i dont get the function of it..

it also has a "flashlight" button, i have no idea what it does and when i click it nothing happens.

John Clark · **OS:** 4.6.1.250

This has never really been much of a program on anything but the 8100.

Bluffheights90814 · **OS:** 4.6.1.174

Wondering if this one works well with the new 4.5 OS that have been added lately. Anyone had any positive or negative experiences ???

darkamikaze · **OS:** 4.6.0.266

heard it doesn't work from a couple threads back

See my post about 4 up from yours...

brb321 · 07-29-2008, 11:40 PM

I downloaded the program for my 8130 before I read on this post that it doesn't workfor my device. But my LED light at the top right changes colors. Kinda neat...

jacc · 08-04-2008, 11:13 PM

I have an 8100 with OS 4.5 and yesterday I installed the program to change the trackball color. First problem:I can't change the color of the trackball, just see 3 leds on under the ball.This give a good effect and it's cool, but when an sms arrives, the red led fhash and later stay always on even when the message was read. That is a real problem, so I decide disable the program and wait the next release.

NickfromIL · 08-04-2008, 11:31 PM

This is a known issue, it is NOT compatible with os 4.5

John Clark · **OS:** 4.6.1.250

Nick is correct. Remove the app. It just causes problems in OS 4.5.

Bluffheights90814 · **OS:** 4.6.1.174

I am running 4.5 right now on my Pearl and wondering if this new program will run correctly before I commit to purchasing it.

John Clark · **OS:** 4.6.1.250

No. Don't purchase it. It will not work right.

adobrakic · 08-05-2008, 04:24 PM

Will this ever work with OS4.5?

John Clark · **OS:** 4.6.1.250

Not unless the apps are rewritten.
