Hi gang. I just got my 8310 two days ago, and I've having trouble uploading themes to the BB. Yes, I have searched, but nothing I found answered my question. I have installed DM 4.3 and OS 4.2.2.194. I downloaded a couple of themes that I like, but now I can't get them onto the berry. These are the instructions for uploading themes as I understand them:
DM>App Loader>Add>Themes.alx
Now, my problem as I see it is that when I click on ADD I don't have a themes.alx and I keep getting the "No additional applications were found for your device" error.
1) if you are looking for a file called "themes.alx" you are not going to find it. The theme will have a specific name like IPhone_Zen.alx
or Blue_Apple_Icon.alx
2) Make sure the themes you download are for your device.
3) if the themes are in a .zip file or .rar file you will need to extract
and save them first.
Other than that you seem to have the process down.

The themes are all .cod files, which the App loader doesn't seem to recognize. These are the instructions as listed on the Crackberry Theme page.
To Download A Theme To Your BlackBerry From Your PC
Go to the provider from whom you wish to buy or download a theme. Do this on your PC. Download the Theme to your PC. It may be zipped so you will need to unzip the file. Connect your Blackberry to your computer. Open up Desktop Manager. Then open Application Loader. Then open. Add. Find the file called �Themes.alx� and hit �OK�. After the installation finishes, you now need to change the theme by going to Settings. Click Options. Then click Themes and select the new theme.
2) Make sure the themes you download are for your device.
Done
3) if the themes are in a .zip file or .rar file you will need to extract

They are extracted, and then I moved them into the Java folder with the rest of the themes.
Yeah, I had read that before, but it actually doesn't apply here. All of my software did (and does) match up. The problem was that I was trying to select the wrong file to update.
I am trying to load, say Pacman, or something of that nature. What extension should the file have? Also, I am finding themes with .cod extensions, which will not upload using DM. Do I need to find themes with .alx?
You have to make sure the software you are downloading is for your specific device and specific OS. .alx files are basically like the loader files for .cod files. So, yes, if your going to load it using desktop manager you would look for .alx.
