Thumbs up How To: Today Plus and Scribble without ota access

If you would like to install the two new curve themes from blackberry, but don't have ota access, here's how. First, enter the url's below into explorer, and download the .jad files. Then, open in notepad, and look at the necessary .cod files that are listed as part of the installation. Simply change the url link extension from .jad to the appropriate .cod (and then -1, -2, etc.), and download to the same folder as the .jad file. Then, copy the folder to your blackberry, and open the folder from the media player. Then, select the .jad file and follow the prompt to "download". The .jad file will then pick up the .cod files in the same folder, and you've got your themes. I've also included the .jad files and how they look in notepad in case anyone has problems with that step.

Re: How To: Today Plus and Scribble without ota access

~via BB (wap.pinstack.com)~ I don't have a data plan for my BB other than the UE plan so I was having problems using my wifi to even find the download thanks to you I was able to install it with the link provided. Though I should note that I am unable to access any other page in the theme department of mobile.blackberry.com/resource other than direct link downloads.

Re: How To: Today Plus and Scribble without ota access

Why not just make 2 zip files so everyone can download them instead of doing all the process? hehe.

Thanks, great way to save these. You can also back them up as jad's using Desktop Manager.

Re: How To: Today Plus and Scribble without ota access

I was hoping this would work on a 8800 , but scribble theme is unable to be activated even with this method .
It's just not in the list of my themes .

Not your fault tho

Re: How To: Today Plus and Scribble without ota access

I have downloaded them, and installed them and its not working? It says it was installed correctly, but it doesn't show up in the Themes list?

Thanks

Re: How To: Today Plus and Scribble without ota access

I downloaded the 240x260 (pearl) versions of those TodayPlus files, and jerry-rigged the whole thing to be compatible with DesktopManager's Applications loader. If anyone wants it, it's in the 8100 Themes section, which I can't link to you here because I don't have enough stacks. lol

RuBBa cHiKiN:

I have looked quite diligently but can't find it. Could you please provide a bit of navigational guidance on exactly how to navigate to those files, or even the name so I can use the search engine? I'm one of those folks without OTA capabilities and really want the Today Plus theme.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

Do a battery pull and check again. Should work perfectly now

Or, maybe one of you who aren't noobies like me can find RuBBa cHiKiN's download files and paste a link here since he/she doesn't have enough posts yet?
