I read that this will not work on the 8800's, but will it work on the 8320? I really liked it on my 8100.

worked great for both mine and my brother's pearls! great program!

This app ONLY works on the Pearl.

veeeeeeeery nice...thank u

btw, my first post.......

John is correct. ONLY on the Pearl. Although I love my new 8320, I do miss the blue color I had my Pearl set to...it would go nice with the O2 theme.

works perfect. lov it. my matchs my everyday.

AM IN THE APPLICATION LOADER WIZARD AND MY PROBLEM IS WHEN I CLICK ON "ADD" A NEW APPLICATION, I LOOK FOR THE FILE "COLORPEARL.ALX" THEN I OPEN IT, AND I GET A ERROR MESSAGE SAYING THE NEXT: "NO ADDITIONAL APPLICATION DESIGNED FOR YOU DEVICE WERE FOUND"

i HAVE UNZIPPED BOTH FILES INTO ONE FOLDER (THE PEARL COLORPEARL.ALX AND COLORPEARL.COD) COULD ANYONE TELL ME HOW TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM, IS DRIVING ME CRAZY! THANK YOU

How do you turn off the white/keypad lights? It makes the trackball too bright. It only gets brighter when the Colorpearl app is enabled.

[EDIT]
Followed the advice here and it worked great. But theres not a way to disable the white LED in any of the options menus?

[Edit Edit]
The colors are nice and vivid now, but if I choose white, its got a funky color tone to it, and when disabling Color pearl the trackball no longer lights up. Why couldnt they just use one LED for everything :P

Ahh well, Id rather have a nice colortone then a good white. And its only a piece of tape, not like its irreversible

Nope. There's no way to disable the white led software-wise. I've had the small piece of tape in mine and my wifes for months. The only time I ever notice is after a software upgrade and the colorpearl program is reset to defaults. No trackball light until I go in and turn it back on. I'm going to miss my blue trackball after my switch to the 8320.

Welcome to the forums,
Please don't type in all caps as it sounds like you're SHOUTING.

You're sure the colorpearl program isn't already in the list of applications? If not, you likely need to install the OS package to your computer along with Desktop Manager. Look in Options >About and find the version number starting with 4.2.x.xxx. Then download that same version from and install it to your computer. Then try again. Here is a link to all the provider's OS's.

thanks for this, works perfect

I am trying to download the trackball color app and i cant get it to work once it is downloaded? could anyone help? Thanks

can anyone give me a step by step mac install guide for this trackball program. sorry to be such a dope, things were alot easier on my pc

Do you have a BB data plan on your BB?

Once downloaded you go into Options >ColorPearl. Enable it and choose your color. That's it.

for some reason the OTA install isnt working for me. It just brings me to a page w/ some text. Those other 2 programs are working for OTA.

Metsfan, I just found this site a hour ago and registered and found this thread and downloaded the color application . This pearl is amazing as are you for creating these applications. I am new to Blackberry and found this site and am trying to learn about making this phone useful in my life. You are an asset to this site and just wanted to say thanks.

Joe (Phils fan , sorry !! )

P.S. the past couple of weeks must of been horible for you, what a colapse.

Was able to download directly on the device.
Tried to install on the desktop and move it to the device-but never worked.

is there any possible way to have the trackball flash to match the led? ie flash red when i have a message, blue during bluetooth synch, etc if not that would be awesome for the new version.

is there a way for this to work with the rest of the keys? just curious.

I can not get it to open! I tryed to download both apps and nothing! HELP! LOL!

Great app! I had no problem installing it and I love the blue. Thanks Metsfan!

Can anyone help me? It will not open on my computer, what do I do?

Use the BB's browser to navigate to the OTA (over-the-air) version. That's the easiest.

Can you give me the steps?

Just type in the following into your BB Browser:

Got it thank's for the help!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've had the Color Pearl application for a while now.I love it but the color RED faded away and it is more like a PINK color now.I have a Sena case and when I close the case cover I can see the trackball being bloody RED but as soon as I open the cover it is pink again.Any help?

Next you should find a way to make a flashlight out of the flash.
Everyone likes having a flashlight with them, and if its on their phone its even better!

Great App, i have all 3 of the ones you made, they all work like a charm!

Great program, so great that I sent you 5 bucks. I suggest others donate as well if you really like it and use it.

I just picked up the new Curve (in Red) and am no longer going to use my Pearl. Any chance that ColorPearl will work on the Curve? If not today, in the near future?

Great app. it work the first time.

Newbie user

It will never, ever work on the Curve. The Curve doesn't have the colored LED's under the trackball, therefore it won't work.

this is great - thanks!

Great app, just so you know though it does not work on the 8120 but perfect on the 8100.

cheers

love it! i have it on random; I like to be surprised...

Okay.
For some reason this thing inst working for me.
I don't think I can use the OTA install because I don't have internet and someone told me you need internet to use the OTA install version.
so I tried to download it to my desktop but when i click in the .zip files it says my computer cant recognize the file or something like that.


what am I doing wrong?

ha ha never mind
i read a couple of pages back and i got it to work out

this program is freaking awesome
thanks!
