How do you change the stock icons (not the order, the actual icon)

**Shutzi** · 01-27-2010, 12:48 PM

I upgraded from a BB 8830 and I was able to change the icons (not the order) colorful icons. I have tried to do the same on the Tour, to no avail. The current icons are outlines of pictures the clock, the world, wrench, etc. The are the default stock icons and I can't find the colorful actual pictures of the icons.

Also, I have not been able to download certain applications such as FB, GMAIL and the Weather Channel. I have tried every which way, but seem to be missing an important step.

Anyone have any idea what I'm talking about???

Changing the icons requires downloading or creating a theme for your device with the icons you like.

Are you able to download any apps to your phone?

I am not able to download apps.

i have 2 themes available on the phone, Precision Zen and Verizon Zen. I have not searched the difference between the two themes, however, I will look into downloading additional thems. Thanks!

You will have to explain why you cannot download apps????

Usually, you can do it from the BB Browser - make sure it is set as BB in one of its options to enable downloading.

There are a ton of themes in the Crackberry theme subforum - divided by device types.
