I have a 7250 too. I tried to connect to the over the air themes, but it says "unable to connect to the internet". However, when I go to any other website, it connects? Weird..... What themes did you install on yur 7250? Thanks!

with each theme, they differ on what is possible and what is not possible, unfortunately. so with some, you can hide certain icons that you otherwise wouldn't be able to. on others, some applications will appear within the applications folder while others appear on the main ribbon. take these as is - nothing can be changed, altered, etc. on these themes.

i am simply limited to providing the themes for installation, unfortunately.

you tried both sets of OTA links?

I downloaded the file ota but when I went into themes to choose Orange it will not let me, it sticks with the default, when I click on the track ball it only offers call voicemail, close or hide, is there something else I need to do?

* Note: To use the Orange theme on the 7100 series handhelds, you must first install the Default Small Icons theme.

Sounds like another theme will be available soon. Sprint/Nextel is releasing a new model called 7100i. The theme is the Cingular 7100g flavor with icons rather then list.

the 7100i will ship with OS 4.1, so the theme may or may not be compatible for OS 4.0.2. i will certainly test it out and add it to the package if it is compatible, though. the theme looks like a hybrid between the list and an updated small icons.

Is there a fix for the calculator in the orange and others that the calculator doesn't work with or is it best if one needs to use the calculator often to pick vodaphone and/or the others that the calculator does work on?

yeah...im using the 7100t and have installed all the themes, only one giving me problems is the orange....

Oh funny, I can only use the calculator on 2 of them 02 and t-mobile.

do me a favor and search this forum, or even this thread, for 'calculator' to get the fix...

This totally rocks! I love having a T-Mobile theme on my cingular Blackberry!

I just installed the themes on my 7230 but when the O2 theme is active and I get a sms it only stays in the message folder for about 5 minutes or so. Can this be corrected?

please refer to 11 posts prior.

for some reason after I installed the thems on my handheld, I went the THEMES in the options section and it shows the new themes but I can't select them, I open the menu and all it shows is "CLOSE"

How do I apply the new themes?

let me guess. its one of the themes that i stated in the original post under the 'Note' part that requires another theme to be installed prior to it being enabled, correct?

It appears that OS 4.1 themes cannot be installed. I was attempting to do just about anything and everything to get the damned thing installed, but ended up spending countless amounts of time rebooting my handheld just to get it back to the way it was. The themes will not show up as options. If you remove all of the themes and simply install the 4.1 themes, you are set to the 'None' theme (where one is not available) and Themes is not even listed in Settings.

If someone can figure out a way to install them and have them work, I'm all ears.

thanks to this thread my calculator dosent work propperly and my calander is messed up.

Thanks!

Wow, you mean the thread commandeered your BB and screwed up your BB? I've heard lots about the Internet's "reach", but this is a new one.

guess we forgot to read...

...no offense, but thanks to yourself, your calculator is now broken and your calendar is messed up, shall you say. this thread nor myself nor this forum had anything to do with your decision to load themes.

Hi foks,

I decided to install a couple of new themes. Since they didn't appear to want to download over-the-air (I got some server busy something), I downloaded the theme pack to my computer and installed the "large icons" & "O2" theme from there.

However, when I go to settings>options>themes I see the themes listed there, but when I click on "large icons" to activate it, there's no activate in the menu, only "close".

What step am I missing? I tried doing a search here, but came up empty.

Sad part is, I've done this before... successfully! Did my upgrade to 4.0.2.49 change the rules?

Thanks

TMO 7100T w/v4.0.2.49

Install the Small Icons theme first. The O2 should allow you to activate it anyhow, assuming you have the Default List theme installed already (should be defaultly installed with your handheld).

Thanks jibi for the quick reply. And, Yes, the default list is there and actually is the one I'm currently using. Plus, the O2 theme works too. The one I was gunning for however is the Large Icons theme.

k, just install the Small Icons theme and it should enable the Large Icons theme.

Praise to you jibi. You are the man!!!!

That worked! Just had to take that detour to get to the destination!

Awesome, all working on 7100R,

thanks

jibi,

Have you heard/or tried to install OS 4.1? I wish there was a way to install this theme. Another screen shot: http://www.blackberryforums.com/atta...tachmentid=429

jibi,

Nevermind, just found another thread with the 4.1 info that you posted in regards to the 4.1 themes & OS.

will these new themes work with 4.02. There were some themes when i installed 4.02 the vodaphone and O2. I just want to add the O2 France one for now. Is it in the .alx File that was suplied ?

Yes and Yes.

Okay...installed all the new software for my 7100g.

I previously had installed all of the themes from this thread and was enjoying the O2 theme despite the fact that the calendar would not highlight any other day than the current one.

After I updated the software I lost the themes and it defaulted to none....I think I may have accidentally disconnected my BlackBerry too soon as the light went off, but make sure the hourglass has stopped as well.

Drove home not being able to see anything on the screen as the screen would always keep the last image utilized on the screen and would simply write over that in=mage when I tried to change views.

Synched again in my office the next day and the themes sudden;y show up on the application loader....loaded them again and now the O2 theme works AND I can highlight other calendar dates with the track wheel.

For the other doofuses on here; as I mentioned in a previous post, certain themes are not designed to work on the 7100 which means the calculator buttons are screwed up.

"Update away" as all of mine seem to work even better now with the new software than they did before....thanks jibi!!

this rocks bro, thanks so much for your help. i just wish i was able to get the phillips program working now!

p.s. all the people that came up with this, i thank you too

I have installed the new theme pack, after uninstalling the old one that use to posted here. I use the vodaphone 7100v theme on my Rogers 7100r, but with this new version i have having a problem in the calendar.

When i view the month, and scroll around, it does not highlight my current day that i am scrolling on. Is there a fix to this? It worked in the last version of the vodaphone theme.

The funny thing is that the calculator works fine in the new version, but the calendar doesn't which is opposite from the last theme. I can live with calculator not working, as i have memorized which keys do what, but to have the calendar not highlight is really painful. If there is no fix, can i get the old version of the vodaphone theme?

which OS are you running?

I am running 4.0.0.219

it *may* be the difference between 4.0 OS and 4.0.2 themes. i'm running 4.0.2.49 and the View Month does highlight the days. try switching to another theme then back and testing. if that doesn't work, you may want to think about upgrading to 4.0.2.49 from TMO (you'll need to delete the vendor.xml file in order to install it though).

i just checked the rogers site and there is a 4.0.2.49 upgrade, i am going to try that first and see if it works.

K upgraded to 4.0.2.49 and it solved all my problems with the calendar, thanks!

Hey is there a version beyond 4.0.2.49 which is what I have? I want to get this theme if possible :
http://www.blackberryforums.com/atta...tachmentid=429

That is OS 4.1's default theme, named BB Insight-Icon. The BB Insight-List theme is the same as the current 7100 series Default (List) theme. You will also have new themes from Verizon Wireless, Bell Mobility Canada and Cingular Wireless. Unfortunately, the OS 4.1 themes are not backwards compatible on OS 4.0.
