Trying to install the Zen, Today and Icon themes I found on here but I have no idea how to do it. Never tried OTA install so I just tried the desktop install to play it safe. So, zip files downloaded and extracted to my pc. Then started Desktop Mgr (which is very choppy and lags). I went to App Loader and tried to open the alx files but it says "no add'l applications for your device were found". Checked the FAQ and found:

I have taken the time to make an ALX file that sets a top level installation of 'BlackBerry Themes' with separate installations for each theme (see screenshot below). This method allows you to pick and choose which themes you want to install rather than forcing you to install all of the themes specified in previous ALX installations. I have both the 7100 and 7200 series in the single ALX file, but only 8 will show for either in Application Loader - one file fits all (or something like that).

That makes absolutely no sense to a noob and I've found NOTHING as far as a step-by-step guide for those of us that are programmers. Where do I need to go to get install directions?

Which themes are you referring to? It sounds like these may not be for your 8310 and be for older generation devices.

If you have an 8320 or 8310 device.

It's very important you read the below information and follow the instuctions in order to use your Desktop Manger to install 3rd party apps or themes.

The Desktop Manager is one program
The Handheld O.S (operating system) is another DIFFERENT program.
BOTH need to be installed on the pc in order for the Desktop Manager to work.

Issue:
When trying to load applications or themes via Desktop Manager you get an error stating
"No additional applications were found for your device".

Resolution:
Download your Handheld O.S (operating system). The download is free from your Carriers web site.

Install the O.S on your PC, plug the blackberry into pc, open Desktop Manager and run application loader




Additional Note:
Your ONLY other option is to use ota (over-the-air) install method for items that the Desktop Manager will not install for you.





Install using your desktop manager.


1. Download the zip file to your PC:
2. Unzip the file to a folder (name the folder).
3. Connect your Blackberry to your computer.
4. Open up Desktop Manager –> Application Loader –> Add.
5. Find the file called “ThemeName.alx” and click “OK”.
6. Re-Boot the phone
