Thanks Jibi....worked great!

Okay, I'm going to throw my observations into this placeholder.
As noted: they added a tiny Profiles icon to Vodafone Today. There is no hotkey for Email or SMS. It's all very green...

In Dimensions Today, SMS is no longer separated from Email. It is all one inbox using the M hotkey. However, names of the SMS messages do not appear on the homescreen - only an increase in the number of unread. EDIT: It doesn't appear that SMS activate the red star; only emails do.

In Calendar, for both Today themes, if you have one appointment today and another tomorrow, it will only show today's.

I have already encountered the Vodafone ghost SMS problem that jibi mentioned. However it disappeared on a battery out reboot. This fix has worked twice. Not sure if this (partial) fix is in the new Vodafone theme or new Vodafone Today theme.

yeah, i just noticed that about the calendar earlier on the older version of the theme (busy calendar week). i don't personally like that.

Jibi,

I have installed both today themes using the desktop manager method. Both appear in the Themes list but only the dimension today has the option to activate.



Do you think this because I dont have the basic Voda theme installed on 8700g?

I haven't seen this.

Anyway, I downloaded Telstra and followed the first set of instructions (loading through Desktop Mgr) without the additional Voda OTA download referenced at the very bottom of jibi's directions and things appear to have gone swimmingly.

thanks jibi.

I'm sorry...I searched but couldn't find the OTA links. Where are they?

[awad]

i think its more than likely the fact that you haven't upgraded to the Telstra (or equiv level) OS, to be honest. it takes a certain level for the OS to support these themes.

Actually jibi, I think he's right. He must have the correct OS to run Dimension Today. And as you said earlier, Vodafone Today relies on both Dimension Today and Vodafone. So I think that the lack of the Vodafone theme is his problem.

Thanks Jibi Your Da Man! I tried the standard way then I had to do OTA to get it, OTA was helllla easy!

[BrooklynzFinest]

I am running the telestra version (4.1.0.371). After loading the regular voda theme I can now activate the voda today theme.

I downloaded today theme ove the air. However I have not upgraded to telstra. So it works enough that I can get a feel for the theme.
But if I go into messages then 'back' to go out a BB drop menu gives me choice 'get link' or 'close' if I select 'close' it crashes and reboots. If I use 'back' key it works fine.
Also the vodafone today theme doesn't show up in my themes list. I have a 8700g on tmo using their .284 OS.

For now I'll stick to Zen. When I have time I'll upgrade later.

Very simple. Browse to this page on your 8700 Browser. Click on the OTA link that jibi provided. A download page will open and you will have the option to download the theme.

I am running Telstra but without the .alx file jibi posted. My 8700 works with the Testra OS but when I add the alx file jibi provided my 8700 always goes haywire so I am using Telstra with the zen theme and the old vodafone theme. I tried to download the new today themes via OTA and it worked they both loaded however when I try to use them and close a menu I always get a JVM error and need to reset the handheld.

mucho gracias jibi!!!

Another update. The Calendar in both themes is a bit wierd. It only shows timed appointments - no all day (which is unfortunate). In addition, it might show a timed appointment a few days hence and then if you add another all day appointment in the intervening days, it will suddenly show nothing. In other words, it's a bit buggy
I definitely prefer Dimension Today. You get two emails displayed on the home screen. I also find the lack of a hotkey for emails in Vodafone Today to be an inexplicable and significant loss. Anyway these themes are fun but definitely works in progress.

Thanks Jibi-Everything worked well-This is WAS what I was looking for but in the interim have purchased pocketday. These are kinda cool though-I like the vodaphone green. If I did not have the pocketday I would be using these themes.

[apple85]

I'm just the opposite of cooper I love the Vodaphone version for the simple fact that it seperates email and SMS i CANNOT STAND the two being together!
