Hi there...

I'm a new (and very happy) 8700g owner, and I was wondering if there was a way to organize my icons without switching to a list-based theme. I like the look of icon-based themes better, but I can't find a way to organize it the way I'd like. Am I being a moron, or do I need to suck it up and use a list?

Thanks!

Hi Heather - Welcome to CrackBerry!

You should be able to organize your icons -
from the icon screen, choose the icon you want to move or hide / press in on the scroll wheel / select move or hide /
That way you only have to display the icons you want and in the order you want.
Hopefully that helps.

Thanks MiniBB! That did it!

I'm having trouble with the instructions above. I have the 8703e and whenever I press in the scroll wheel, I do not get a menu, I open the program. Can I do this with the 8703e?

[ualman]

Have the same problem, would love to know how to do it too!

[MiniBB]

I used to have an 8703e - now I have a Curve, so I'm going by memory.

Maybe the press needs to be a longer press, rather then a quick click?

You have to push Alt then the wheel!

Thanks Berry!!
Guess I am having my own memory leak...

Thats great news.

You would think that there would be standard methods to do would I would call "maintenance" type procedures like moving icons around no matter what type of BB you have. Instead, we are left to find out for ourselves.

Having worked for a software development firm some time ago as a front line help desk person for just over 6 years, my job was to resolve my client's problem and to document steps necessary for a resolution. All this information was inputed into our knowledge base database for future reference not only by company staff but clients alike.

I think I will start documenting these undocumented features and make this document available to fellow crackberry members.

After I posted my question, I played with it some more and found out how using the Alt, then the scroll wheel. Thanks for all the help.

[zetachi]

[DigtheBerry]

how do you move them on the 8830??? alt and scroll doesnt do it...

I can't completely remove mine, they just have a ghost like image of the icon.

I did a hard reset and that removed them.
Maybe it's a soft reset?
But anyway I removed the battery a minute or so and rebooted.
Unused Icons gone!

They have a ghost image because you haven't told it to not "Show All". The same menu that comes up when you push Alt+Click Scroll wheel, should have a selection that reads "Show All". Hit that and the ghosted/hidden icons will go away.
