How to on Installing Blackberry themes (scan this thread)

biggysmall2 · #**151** 11-15-2006 -

I am having the same problem as someone earlier in the thread. I have a 7290 and put a couple of themes on there using DM, as well as the theme reader. I can see the themes under "THEMES", but when I click on them activate is not an option. Interestingly enough, I download the smoothie theme from RIM via WAP and it works fine.

Anyone have any ideas?

The message is "UncaugtException:java.lang.NullPointerExcepti on". This error is happening on both themes I installed and I have made sure that all the permissions are set to Allow.

Thoughts?

This stems from the image being used for that screen and in part from a bug in the Plazmic software. To fix the issue use the default standby screen image.

I think your phone only has 32mb of memory out of the box? Be sure you have os 4.1 installed b4 using any Plazmic created themes and also in the event you have several themes installed try removing one b4 introducing a new one. Phones do have limits on how many themes can be maintained at one time (memory limits) sometimes this can cause a theme to not work.

The .alx theme reader file and the ota theme reader files are different. In the event you installed ota be sure to always install the ota theme reader file after the theme install is complete. The ota reader file needs installed each time. This is different from the DM theme reader file. The DM theme reader file only needs installed 1x.

hope this helps?

biggysmall2, Welcome to PinStack.

You may have to go into the Options/Security Options/Application Permisions. Individually select each of the Themes you loaded, and open the menu. Select Edit Permissions and set the three options in order to Allow, Custom, and Allow. Let us know if this works.

I have a 7130e. When i use the application loader while adding a theme.alx, i get an error message that says "no additional applications designed for your device were found". I downloaded from the 7100 themes here on pinstack.com, so I'm confused. I have a reader already loaded, and am running 4.1. ideas???

This didn't work. When I go to my theme, still the only option is "download themes" or "close".

biggysmall2,

When you tried the permissions, did you see the Plazmic Theme Reader in the list? If not try reloading it. And you do have OS 4.1.x.xxx don't you? Try this, In themes Select download Themes and see if you can download a theme from that site and activate it.
Another thought, when you go to Options/Themes is there a list of standard themes? how many are listed there?

I have Plazmic Theme reader installed. My OS is v4.10.292. I have downloaded themes using the method you describe --- Smoothie works fine. When I go to options/themes, only the default theme and the theme I put on there.

biggysmall2 · #**163** 11-17-2006 -

I figured it out ...... dumb me: I was trying to load 7100 themes.

**Rcbjr** · #**164** 11-17-2006 -

Ah so, Well, have you had a chance to load a 72xx theme yet?
