OTA (over-the-air)

The OTA install method is easy and fast and requires no PC or USB cables. You should use the Internet browser on your BlackBerry (not the WAP browser) to navigate to the web page containing the link for the installation.


You can type this into the browser on your device or paste it into an email you send to yourself and launch it from the email message. Select and click on the theme's name, then use the Get Link option from the pop-up menu. The next screen will prompt you to download the file or cancel. Some information about the file is also displayed. Select Download and the process will begin. On EDGE and EVDO networks, the download should take less than one minute. Upon completion, you will be prompted to reboot the device.
If this is your first time installing a theme via OTA, I recommend you download the theme file first, do NOT reboot, then download the Theme Reader (same web page) and then reboot. After that you'll be ready to use the new theme.

Note: 8100/Pearl device does NOT need the theme reader file.
Note: 8300/Curve device does NOT need the theme reader file.
Note: 8800 device does NOT need the theme reader file.



Desktop manager installs.


1. Download the zip file to your PC:
2. Unzip the file to a folder (name the folder).
3. Connect your Blackberry to your computer.
4. Open up Desktop Manager –> Application Loader –> Add.
5. Find the file called “ThemeName.alx” and click “OK”.
6. Find the file called "Plazmic_Theme_reader.alx" and click "ok".

Note: 8100/Pearl users omit step 6 above. The theme reader is NOT needed.
After the installation finishes, you can now change your themes by going to Options (wrench icon) –> Theme.





Notes:
Icons from any third party vendors will show as they normally do, without transparency.
If you have already installed themes using plazmic_theme_reader.alx file in the past no need to re-load that file over again.
Additionally after installing themes keep the theme folder in the same place or the desktop manager will produce a message saying it can't find any additional applications to install in the future if you attempt to install additional themes.

Phones do have memory limits, you may not be able to keep a never ending list of themes installed. If you find that a theme does not show up look at how many themes you have installed and consider removing one to make room for the newly install theme.



Hope this helps?

Hey yea for the first guy with the instructions i dl a whole bunch and most of them didnt work so then i noticed that a view of the the themes had an theme reader so i figured that id give it a try and then more of the themes worked and i have a curve 8300 so i think you may need the theme reader for some. If your BB desktop manager keeps showing that there is nothing there then you prob have to install a theme reader.

Also i have a whole bunch of apps dl from another site but they are jar and i cant figure out how to get them onto my bb8300 any advice thanks

I have tried everything listed here (PC download, OTA download, re-booting ) but still no success the downloaded theme is not even listed any ideas ? I have a new Curve 8350i with 4gig card

[alucardfair]

For those with the 8350i, no themes have been made for your phone yet. It's a whole new OS and configuration. If your downloading themes for the 83xx series it will show up in your apps list but not your themes list. That means it was not made for your phone. It's a bummer I know but you will have to wait until themes are made for your exact model. Try posting in this thread link below, maybe you'll get lucky and someone has the PTB 4.7 that has the 8350i simulator and can build you a theme. Hope this helps.

I download a theme to my bb 8100, I see it in my applictions, but when I go to THEMES to use it it's not there. I downloaded it to my phone, but How do I install it, or choose it as a theme!?
