Question: I have a Verizon blackberry but i want cingular att's interface. Is it possible?


So you have some carrier envy? You want your Verizon Crack berry to look more like the Cingular ATT branded one? Well envy no longer because all RIM devices have all Vendor Themes built in! It takes a little know how and a walkthrough. The original can be found here.


Note: Anytime you download new Software you will have to do this again.






Step 1) Find your current OS software file located here in most cases...
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\Shared\Loader
Files\"deviceOSversion" exp. C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In
Motion\Shared\Loader Files\8700-v4.1.0.286_P2.0.0.123

Step 2) Right click on the "Blackberry.alx" and select "Open with" and
select notepad or wordpad.

Step 3) Once opened look for the following in the text below. For help I
made the text in red. (See the website here for full text. We just posted the red part)

Cingular US filesets -->net_rim_theme_102_320x240.codnet_rim_theme_100_240x260.codnet_rim_theme_120.codnet_rim_theme_120_240x260.codnet_rim_theme_125_240x260.codnet_rim_theme_119.cod



Step 4) Find the Vendor Code for your providor by holding down the Alt,
Cap, H buttons.

Step 5) Once found find all themes for your device type in the list below
and replace whatever vendor code they have with yours.net_rim_theme_102_320x240.codnet_rim_theme_100_240x260.codnet_rim_theme_120.codnet_rim_theme_120_240x260.codnet_rim_theme_125_240x260.codnet_rim_theme_119.cod

Step 6) I have only listed a few for example. For instance if it shows
_vendorID="105"> and your vendor code is "100" then make it look like this
_vendorID="100">Just a friendly reminder you only need to edit the ones with
your device type for example all the 8700 are for 87xx only any others will laod
but not be functionable. Qwerty is for all 72xx series and Reduced is for 71xx
series devices.

Step 7) After you have finished changing the Vendor Codes just save the
file and run apploader.Note: Anytime you download a new Software you will have
to do this again.
