i'm about to go out for a few hours, but i'll do so when i get back home.

[pan1k]

Thanks! I have been waiting for this theme!!!! YAY! You da man!

[Seattle18]

jibi, your prayers have been answered!

[apple85]

Cancel that I thought since it made my BB restart I got it but i didn't back to the drawing board for me!

[apple85]

Ok I've followed the Alternate instructions to a T twice now I'm missing something!
after i type in the "JavaLoader.exe ..." line it says copy right yada yada RIM Loading loads the bytes then says disconnected and restarts my phone...
grrrrrrrrr 5th attempt still nothing I want to know where and what the hell it thinks it's loading!

[jibi]

IF, AFTER FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS ON YOUR 7100i, 7130e, OR 7100 (PRE-4.1.0.300), THE THEME DOES NOT SHOW UP IN YOUR THEMES LIST, THEN YOUR OS IS TOO OLD AND DOES NOT SUPPORT ENHANCED THEMES, OFFICIALLY OR UNOFFICIALLY...THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE FOR YOUR HANDHELD UNTIL A NEWER VERSION OF THE OS IS RELEASED FROM A CARRIER.

[apple85]

Thanks Jibi, damn Verizon...

[Shraf2k]

does this work with OS 4.0?

[jibi]

[faaltoo]

i personally don't think so, but perhaps. no one with that OS version has tried, i don't think. i think this will work on .300 or greater, at the very least.

With the dimension theme and the zen theme there are really no needs for any other themes. But are there any other dimension based themes out there that will be around in the future ?

[jibi]

only Icon and Zen, at this point in time.

I assume you are running 4.1.0.268 from Verizon? If so, no need for me to try.

[Ashg]

If Verizon is using the latest 7130e firmware, then why are enhanced themes not supported? Is the theme supported by Bell or Telus? if so, I may flash back to one of them.

[whsbuss]

Well apple85 is correct. Couldn't get the theme loaded using JavaLoader on the VZW 4.1.0.268 OS.

they are running the latest publically available 7130e software. Alltel doesn't offer their OS for public download. they have the latest version available, it appears.
