Well, I am a forum noob so I can't post the link. I found it on forum.crackberry.com.

It basically tells you how to remove the vendor code instead of changing it. I followed the simple instructions and now my phone has all the unlocked themes.

An example of how my file looks is this:

Before

<!-- Verizon US filesets -->
<fileset Colour="True" series="8800" radio="CDMA-GPRS" Java="1.0" _vendorID="105">
<files>
net_rim_theme_105_zen_320x240_b.cod
</files>

After

<!-- Verizon US filesets -->
<fileset Colour="True" series="8800" radio="CDMA-GPRS" Java="1.0">
<files>
net_rim_theme_105_zen_320x240_b.cod
</files>

I hope this isn't a repeat of info and thanks to all on pinstack.com for providing such great BB knowledge.

One thing, after you edited the blackberry.alx file, did you delete the vendor.xml file?

So every time I alter the BlackBerry.alx file and install in on my 8130 from VZW I get an error code, either "app error 523 or 200". I have tried multiple times and have successfully done this on 3 other Blackberries (not pearls) so I am confident I know what I am doing.

Very weird and any input is appreciated.

TIA,
JD

ok i need some serious help...ive been thought every post... well maybe not them all but ive been at this for 2 days... i have a Verizon pearl 8130 and i have vista i want to unlock the vendor code becuz i cant upload themes with out the error of "no additional applications designed for your device found " its soo frusterating please help me... ive searched for the vendor code and no luck i cant find this file in the common files place i dont have a shared file... can someone do a step by step and spell it out for me i feel stupid but i cant figure this out!!

Thanks!!

Jess

Well Jess, both of your problems are caused by the same thing. The lack of a current version of the 8130 HandHeld software package being installed on your PC. If you have downloaded it, you did not successfully install it. It has to be executed once downloaded. Then you should have the shared folder. And not have the "No apps found" error.

Hello i just edited the alx file on my BB-8700c with 4.2 os and activated all the hidden or inactive themes and they all work fine thanks to pentace for the great guide

This thread might be useful for this with 8130's that are getting problems:

Try this thread, Vendor Codes for Themes

And Welcome to PinStack.

Let us know if there is anything else we can do to help with this problem or your BB.

Something seems amiss here - i'm trying to free up a few MBs by removing some of the vendor themes that I don't like or will never use... with little success it seems -

See below... not all of the themes have my vendor id codes, bcuz I've already removed that line... yet they are still showing on my Berry... (highlighted in red for ease of reading) this is a cut and paste from my blackberry.alx...

Any ideas how I can remove Orange, O2 for example, given the configuration below - TIA!!!

Are they listed in the Options/Advanced Options/Applications/Menu/Modules list. Try deleting from there. Otherwise locate the ones you do not want on your BB in the Java subdirectory and delete it by name. Then reconnect and attempt to reinstall.

But if you haven't already done it, before you do either, try a reboot.

[Rcbjr]

Reread you post and just realized what the problem is. The easiest way to install the vendor themes is to remove the vendor id statement completely, which you have done in the ones in red. Go back an put the vendor id back in but don't use your vendor it, use the original.

Rcbjr.

thank u for your response

I guess I'll try again when I can get a new OS.

BStark, try these instructions as proofing for me please.
