Theme and file format question
- I have downloaded a load of themes for my 9700 but when I go to use DM to install them, even though I locate the folder for each theme, the files inside each folder aren't visible in DM each time I browse for them. Most of the files are "COD" or "JAD". Can anyone help me out with this one? Thanks in advance12-01-10 08:29 AMLike 0
- OK, if they were JAD files, you don't download those to the PC to load them.
Those are installed OTA (Over the air) by going to the address of the JAD file in your phones default browser.
To install using Desk Manager, you would need the ALX installer file. Not every Theme builder makes those. Most just link to the JAD file for the OTA install.
You can delete the JAD files from your PC and just email yourself the links to the JAD files. Then, click the links in your email on your BlackBerry.
The JAD files tells the BB how to load and use the COD files OTA. The ALX file tells it how to load the COD file through Desk Manager.
There is another method using BBSAK to manually load the COD files to the phone, or even build the ALX files from the COD's to use Desk manager. But, I would only recommend it if you are comfortable working at that level.bigcol likes this.12-01-10 08:31 AMLike 1 - You could also transfer the jad+cod files to Your Media card and find the jad files via File Explorer and run it from there. Usually that will install them as wel, and You will always have them available for install

Can't tell you why, but there is a small portion of people that get errors when they try to launch the JAD from the memory card.
But, for the future, all you have to do is click the web link to the JAD in your BB browser.12-01-10 09:57 AMLike 0 - Mio is right, but I didn't mention that because it does not always work.
