Default unlock all themes

this is a very easy way to unlock all the themes for your bb...

i copied this from a member of another bb board

Ok everyone, I am creating this because I read over and over people asking how to install certain themes for exp. The "Zen" theme but run into issues like it does not work or they do not understan how to do it correctly. So here is the easiest way and most perm.

Step 1) Find your current OS software file located here in most cases...
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\Shared\Loader Files\"deviceOSversion" exp. C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\Shared\Loader Files\8700-v4.1.0.286_P2.0.0.123

Step 2) Right click on the "Blackberry.alx" and select "Open with" and select notepad or wordpad.

Step 3) Once opened look for the following vendorid = <xxxx>

Step 4) Find the Vendor Code for your providor by holding down the Alt, Cap, H buttons.

Step 5) Once found find all themes for your device type in the list below and replace whatever vendor code they have with yours.

<!-- Cingular US filesets -->
<fileset Colour="True" KeyboardType="Qwerty" Java="1.0" series="8700" _vendorID="102">
<files>
net_rim_theme_102_320x240.cod
</files>
</fileset>
<!-- T-Mobile filesets -->

<fileset Colour="True" KeyboardType="Reduced" Java="1.0" _vendorID="100">
<files>
net_rim_theme_100_240x260.cod
</files>
</fileset>
<!-- Vodafone filesets -->
<fileset Colour="True" KeyboardType="Qwerty" Java="1.0" _vendorID="118|120|124|130|132|133|137|138|139|140 |143|148|152|153|161|166|167|168|176|188|192|193|1 94|195|196|197|198|199|200">
<files>

Step 6) I have only listed a few for example. For instance if it shows _vendorID="105"> and your vendor code is "100" then make it look like this _vendorID="100">

Just a friendly reminder you only need to edit the ones with your device type for example all the 8700 are for 87xx only any others will laod but not be functionable. Qwerty is for all 72xx series and Reduced is for 71xx series devices.

Step 7) After you have finished changing the Vendor Codes just save the file and run apploader.


Note: Anytime you download a new Software you will have to do this again.
