    Well I've been a constant viewer of this site, but just registered because i recieved my 8330 for sprint in the mail this morning. I have everything set up that i want so far but i have a question about themes. I was on eveek.com and they have some really nice themes i want but i was wondering if i could use themes meant for 4.2.2 on 4.3 OS? like can i use old themes with newer OS's without hurting my newborn? lol

    You really should use themes designed for your OS.
    They won't damage your device, but they can cause
    you quite a few headaches.

    ...and you're killing me me with the "newborn"

    I have 4.3 and use themes for 4.2 and above. I was talking to corey visto one night while he was making me a theme and he told me that some theme builders will make a theme for 4.3, but use 4.2 to make it, so it doesn't take up as much memory...

    4.2 themes pretty much all work flawlessly on 4.3.

    I installed a Theme using the "Unlock Themes Post" wherein I changed the Vendor number from #115 to #107.
    Now I would like to Remove this Theme using Desktop Manager but it does not show up in the list so that I can change "Installed" to "Remove"
    I am using BB8310,O.S. 4.2.2 and DM 4.5
    Can someone "understand me" and provide help please

    go to c:\program files\common files\research in motion\shared\loader files\8310...\java

    Look for a group of file that start with net_rim_theme
    Delete the 115 and 107 files and then run DM. Just next
    your way to the end and they will be removed.

    I can understand, the last 2 days I have been devoting most of my free time adding info to my addressbook, downloading ringtones, themes, etc, and getting used to the curve myself lol

    If you come across a theme that you reaaaaally like, but it is NOT for your OS, dont make the mistake I made and install it. I installed a theme called Surreal which was not for my device- it was even posted that it wasnt to be used.

    Due to that theme being the one that was currently "active" I caught h[ll trying to get it off my phone and all the post I read only gave me the option to reload the OS which quite frankly, I didnt feel like doing.

    So, please follow the advice given here. If it's not for you, dont use it. I'm tech savvy and geeky and wouldnt want to see someone new go through the problems I did. I didnt panic b/c I knew it could be fixed, but new people want to cut off a limb just to be up and running again.
