    i need an official answer to this question

    do 8500 themes work on the 8330 running os 5.0?

    some say they do and some say they dont

    same screen size and os so i would say they do however seems they dont in some cases


    which file bundle if any does work on the 8330 then?

    do i use the 8500 4.6? 8500 5.0, 8350 4.6, 8350 5.0 or none of them


    thanks!

    if anyone knows for sure please let me know!

    To your Question-Yes-when a 8330 Stock Precision Zen Theme is properly installed on the 8330-You can use 85XX themes- I have 85XX themes on my device, and they work well...I found the 8500 5.0 work the best....

    so why am i getting people saying they cant load the theme?

    do they need a precision zen theme installed rather than the old dimension themes?

    is 8330 5.0 the same os as the 8500 or is it a lite version?

    i have a 8310 annoyingly so cant test

    ah i see!

    simply installing this theme will enable them to use 8500 themes

    can this theme be downloaded from somewhere or does it need to be built into the os version

    cool thanks for the info

    that might be why some people can load them and some cant!

    i have changed my compatibilty in app world now

    so if some1 buys one and says they cant load the theme but shows up in applications list what do they need to do?

    most 8330 5.0 are on verizon and sprint by looks of it

    I can't find an official copy, everything says "like" precision. The copies I can find require desktop manager, which I can't use because my netbook runs linux.

    I have it OTA on my server.

    Downolad HERE

    This is the net_rim_theme_precision_zen_320x240_b_01 Stock theme needed on 8330's to be able to utilize the 8500 series and the 8350 OS 5 themes.
    Be aware, this only works for 8330's running OS 5. OS 4.5 or older don't recognize it.

    OMG IT WORKED!!!!!

    Thank you so much, DONATION MADE. Dude, you really need to let ALL Boost Mobile Blackberry users in on this one. We have the 8330 w/ OS 5, but can't use half of the themes out there because this is missing. The OTA link scared me at first because its 1.5mb, but I was finally able to install a few 8500 os 5 themes that failed before.

    That download is available to all who wish to use it. I also have it as a zip file download for those wanting to use Desktop Manager as well.
    It's posted in this forum.

    And thanks for the donation

    I have kinda the reverse question ... can I install and run 8330 5.0 themes on my new 9300 which is the 3G version of the 8500 series ? Same 320x240 resolution.

    You can try to install one. It either will work or won't. I'd try OTA if available, if not then BBSAK. Worse case scenario is you'll have to manually uninstall a failed attempt with BBSAK. If you use Desktop Manager it probably won't install.

    I have to say thanks also to snaganalf, it's like the 8330 went from cartoons to CG. I have known about loading the precision zen theme for some time but trying to locate a reliable copy has been very difficult. So hats off to you for sharing and opening doors for others less fortunate! You Rock!
