I wonder why Andrew???
vetvipe, you can find it in the Crackberry App. Store from your computer.05-25-09 05:49 PMLike 0 - 05-25-09 06:17 PMLike 0

MobiHand doesn't make it easy to give the customer more than one OTA link, so unfortunately it has to be purchased from your computer. It's worth the trouble though, because you get 8X the amount of theme. =P05-25-09 06:38 PMLike 0 -
you add an Upgrade Rule on the Overview tab of the product, specifying the qualifying product, and for all prior versions of that set to version=0, with a discounted price of $0.00.05-25-09 06:40 PMLike 0 - The problem that I'm having is that because I support more than one device, the upgrade rules appear to be theme wide and you can't differentiate between the different platforms. Apparently MobiHand is working on a solution for me.05-25-09 06:55 PMLike 0
- I've completed the 8300 series, so Dark is next on my "to-do" list. I have a busy week ahead but it's all I'm working on this week, still no ETA but I want to get it done ASAP. I have no plans to rush a release though, I want to make sure it's worth the separate purchase.
Just curious, I'm torn about what to incorporate into the SVG file. Would you all like something different than stacks, or are you happy with the idea of having Glass mechanics for Dark? I've got nothing against incorporating something different, but only if people want different!
Sound off.
Cheers,

- While I love the stacks and functionality of, wouldnt making a dark version of the theme with stacks make it not worth the upgrade, seeing as how users can use any wallpaper they want to anyway and have 4 versions of a theme with stacks? However I would hate to lose stacks for something that is less functional ya know? Just my 2 cents lol...05-26-09 02:42 PMLike 0
- I'm sure I'll get flamed by a hoard of folks who will tell me I'm wrong, but I'll proceed anyway. I've been running my phone for several months with other themes. Removed AppleBerry as it was severely hitting low memory. With AppleBerry (1.2) removed phone has run in the 13-18MB range (boot up is 25MB, settles in after several hours), had NEVER been below 10MB. I installed the new AppleBerry theme (v1.3) and very next day my memory was at 4.8MB after a couple of hours! I've never seen my memory that low.
Nothing else was changed on the phone other than upgrading to the new AppleBerry Glass theme. I'm back to running another theme and memory is sitting at 18MB once again. No complaints, just an FYI for Andrew if there's something that needs to be considered with his new update.Last edited by Bob61; 05-27-09 at 08:14 AM.

I love this theme but it's kind of a pain to do battery pulls 1-2 times/day.05-26-09 08:27 PMLike 0 - @ Bob61 & CFD323
Which OS are you both running? I know that Verizon hasn't updated their Storm OS yet, which is why I'm asking. I boot up with 37MB and after a full 24hrs I'm at about 18MB. Since I do daily battery pulls I haven't had many memory issues ending off with 18MB. I'm using OS .122 which is the official one for my carrier.
Let me know!

Just now I've rebooted my device for the day and I'm starting at 38.47MB and I have quite a few applications installed. Memory leaks are tricky to handle, I don't think they can be eliminated but they can definitely be reduced. If you have the time and care enough about the problem, you could try and wipe your device and restore only your contact information, loading third party applications as you need them. There's no reason to boot up with anything less than 35MB, especially when some people boot with nearly 50MB.
Failing that, try running Classic until you can deal with the memory issue. I found that when I had a bad memory leak Classic worked very well. There's only so much a developer can do to a theme, and the majority of that is in the SVG file which I've already optimized and shrank down.
Sorry! Wish I had a better answer for you. (=

Andrew05-27-09 09:03 AMLike 0 - Your solution may be as easy as an OS update, I ran .109 for a long time up until a couple of weeks ago. .122 has made a significant difference for me in terms of stabilizing my memory. You mentioned booting up with 37MB which means you've probably got a good chance of fixing the issue just by updating your OS.05-27-09 09:05 AMLike 0

Either way, it will be better than .109, but I think you're more likely to downgrade from .148 than you are from .122.
Let me know if it fixes the problem though!05-27-09 09:28 AMLike 0 - You can find the wallpaper on the first page of this thread toward the bottom. Download it, email it to your device and set it as your wallpaper.
If that all sounds like a huge hassle, send me an email:
ahasting at ryerson dot ca
I'll attach it and send it straight to your device!

Andrew05-27-09 11:03 AMLike 0 - I guess what I'm noticing is that you're only booting up with 25MB of free memory, this is below average for a Storm to start up with and leads me to believe that you have many things installed on your device which could contribute to a memory leak.
