So here goes. I am left with a folder that I can use to laod a theme and therefore...can delete many of them from my phone and not have them installed all the time. This way I can install quickly and still have my media card accessible and not laggy cause I plugged into my PC.
Here is what I do to create an OTA installer for themes from my media card:
I install all the themes I want to my phone.
I back them up using BBSAK (Backup/Restore...Backup Apps).
After BBSAK is done, go to c:/program files/bbsak/backup/whatever you named the backup file
find the current backup and open the folder.
Drag the cod file out of the folder onto your desktop.
Once the cod is on the desktop, open BB BOSS.
Last tab on BB Boss is called Create JAD/ALX. Click it open.
I drag the cod file into the big open window where it says HINT: Drag file from desktop here.
There is some info you need to fill in. Title of theme and check the radio button next to jad only.
Then click on generate files.
It will ask you where you want to save them. I usually save to the desktop.
On the desktop, I create a folder named the theme name...ex Bridged
Then I place in the folder, the cod, the htaccess file and the jad file (these last two are the ones that BB BOSS creates).
This folder now can be moved to your media card.
Repeat this procedure for every theme you want to save this way.
Go back to the app BB Boss and clear all fields. Start again by dragging the next cod file, etc.
Hope this works for you!
If anyone tries it, let me know.
Thanks!!! :D
