Thank you. Just wanted to make sure it's something beneficial to me and it is so I will get all 3 of them.

What is supposed to happen if I install the 4.2 version in 4.1 OS? In my haste and excitement, I installed the 4.2 version on my 7100i with v4.1+OS.

I leaped into the install before reading all the instructions. D'OH !

During the install, the whole thing locked up but seems to be ok after a dirty reboot/ battery removal etc... I do not, however have the icons visible on my homescreen or the applications working on the 7100i.

Im not sure what to do now... If anyone could please tell me what my next move should be I would sure appreciate it.

Cheers!

Ooops, it was bound to happen. Sorry it happened to you... hence our very stern warning about doing so.

Try these fixes, you should be ok.

Thanks to all, works great!!

JSanders · 05-19-2008, 02:39 PM

tatthis, wait a sec, you might be able to simply remove the application you installed at Options > Advanced > Applications. Find the application you installed mistakenly, and click to delete. Try a battery pull to reboot the 7100.

uhhh ehh, I don't see any Mac OSX Leopard theme!!!

Look at the ICONS, not the theme!

I have already installed the links

I really like the theme too and have been searching for it to no avail. :(

Berry_Black · 05-19-2008, 03:36 PM

Yeah, I love the Apple theme too! Can you please tell me where I can get it?

JSanders · 05-19-2008, 03:51 PM

Y'all! The theme is just a good photoshop job. Ignore it. Really.

LunkHead · 05-19-2008, 07:01 PM

Awesome job! I want to cry because I was not included in the development..... But..... I will take a looksie and see what is causing the error....

Ok....

Thank you.

Jagga · 05-19-2008, 09:30 PM

VERY VERY excellent work you guys! Going to add these next month when the BOLD gets to Canadian shores or if work provides me a BB soon enough.

* works great on the 4.2.2 Simulators (8820 & 8320) on WinXP SP2. Hey I'm freebasing for my BB Fix alright?! Anyhow, this is great work!.

Thanks to Simon Hain and JSanders, and also to Guest for the PM notification.

This'll definately help navigation bigtime!

Dannyn · 05-19-2008, 09:37 PM

Does this include that cool leopard theme?
Sorry, I am new to the whole blackberry scene.

JSanders · 05-19-2008, 10:49 PM

Danny, no. Only the shortcut applications and its icon.

Tatthis, were you able to resolve this?

tatthis · 05-19-2008, 11:13 PM

I gotta tell ya, I dont think it actually installed the first time ! Its not showing up in my list of Apps ! I may have lucked out ! Thanks for the speedy reply.. I'll let you know what happens when I try to install the proper app. Again, TYVM !!

John Clark · **OS:** 4.6.1.250

You got lucky. 4.2 apps will brick a 4.1 device, sure as heck. I had to reload the OS twice to my old 7290 while I was testing these.

tatthis · 05-20-2008, 12:39 AM

Well yessir, I'm sure as heck lucky ! Thanks again for your help ! I'll ruin this thing yet ! I've had it for a couple of years so its about time I do something REALLY heinous to it.. It's pretty sturdy though as its survived a swim in the toilet, a night in the freezer, several rainstorms on the bike and (drumroll please.... wait for it.....) a 70mph drop from my Harley onto the freeway !

John Clark · **OS:** 4.6.1.250

All that and you only now have 3 posts??? You are a good "searcher!"

wabbit · **OS:** 4.2.2.194

very awesome

thanks guys!

Edit by John Clark 5/21/2008: themes4bb.com took this link down because it got posted here. It was a free theme but I guess they want you to go to their site.

For other devices, look at Themes4BB.com| Free BlackBerry Themes| Multimedia For Your Berry

I have been complaining to RIM that the simulators are not 100% effective (which they, of course, deny). I have developed a few apps for my company and have seen behaviors on the handsets that the simulators do not duplicate. I have not downloaded the new apps yet, but your efforts are appreciated. 73

pshute · 05-20-2008, 07:35 PM

Can someone please tell me what these applications actually do? (I haven't tried them.) They seem to be just a quick way to get to particular websites. Is that all? I can get to these same websites the usual way?

Why would you want to visit them so much via your Blackberry? I normally use my PC - it's many times faster on the big screen.

JSanders · 05-20-2008, 08:55 PM

pshute, yes, they are just that, shortcut icons that install your BB homescreen, loading this site and its mobile site. Why? Because sometimes a person is not in front of their PC.

Fair enough, that's why Blackberries were invented, I guess. What I'd like is a general application that could create a shortcut icon for any URL I like.

I wonder if it's possible. It could obviously be done for one URL, but I wonder if it's possible for a single program to use several icons if I wanted more than one. You've created one program per shortcut for yours, so I guess not.

Dannyn · 05-20-2008, 11:34 PM

Where can i get that theme for a 8830? Thanks!

Air Force One · 05-21-2008, 04:10 AM

These are a fantastic addition! Looking forward to the BlackBerryNews.com equivalent when it's ready...

JSanders · 05-21-2008, 11:40 AM

Thanks, all. Yes, the BlackBerryNews.com wap shortcut will be on the way.

metro12 · 05-21-2008, 01:00 PM

Thank you! These are awesome!

potthoff · 05-22-2008, 05:34 AM

Looks GREAT on my home screen. I love quicky links. Especially when aesthetically pleasing to the eye.

Chevyguy · 09:50 AM

Sorry, but where and how do I install the alx and cod files at ? New to the Blackberry scene as far as editing / programming.

jasonconnor · 09:51 AM

Any docs around creating apps like this? I'd like to get more involved in making the blackberrys even more valuable at my company.

Download the ALX/COD files to your PC. Note where/which folder they download to.

Make sure your handheld OS is installed to your PC.

Open Desktop Manager > Application Loader. Click ADD, and navigate to the ALX file.
