Hi I am looking for a today theme for my BB 8703 running OS 4.1. ALL of the themes i have found that have a today screen, when you click out of the today screen to access an application you must scroll down the list of applications until you find the one you want. Is there a today theme that will work on my 8703 that is exactly like the BB pearls? with the pearl, when you click out of the today screen to access an application it gives you the icon grid to access te application. That's what i'm looking for the icon grid!!!!!!!!!!!
thanks

But the pearl screen is smaller then the 8703 will it fit my entire screen or be messed up?
Thanks

it will unlock themes for your device not install other models themes

So if I can unlock and load the theme onto my blackberry the theme will probably still be the size for the pearl and be to small to fit my 8703 entire screen, correct?

[Dawg]

NO it will load the themes for you blackberry as I stated in the other post. you are using an 8703 it will install the themes for the 87XX not 81XX

So, do you or anyone else know of a today theme that when accessing the applications will lay them out as the icon grid and not in list form. Thanks

[Dawg]

if you follow the instructions I have given you the themes you want will be what you want. I cant spoon feed you anymore than i have.

[gren2]

ok, i tried to edit the .alx file and messd it up and now my app loader keps gving me an error message, i am still unclear about one thing, i understand about the unloking the 8700 themes but do you or anyon else know if there is a today theme for the 8700 that givs you the icon grid as well. i was able to find an ota for the 8700 today theme but it wont give you a grid when accessing applications rather only a list. do you know if there is a grid today theme for the 8700?
thanks

I see that thread is labeled 4.2. I have 4.1 is there that theme in 4.1? Also do you maybe have an ota of it? I completly messed up the blackberry.alx file and now my app loader won't work. Thanks

[Dawg]

thats why i showed you that thread update your OS to 4.2 and then run that edited alx. that kormac posted

Quick question. Are there any 4.1 themes out there still? Like a Today maybe? I cannot upgrade to 4.2 as it's a company BB and I do not have the OS loaded in my PC, but I'm more than free to install OTA or via DM.
My work 8703e is still running 4.1.0.377 pltfm 2.2.0.176. I'm wondering if I could find that OS, install it on my workstation and then I can modify the alx file instead?

[Dawg]

yes you can

I did a search for the OS running on my 8703 and only could find a version for a 7130. Any pointers as where I could find the Verizon OS for my 8703?
