WELCOME

Sharing my theme creations I've made to customize your Blackberry & other randomness.

If your looking for specific model themes, I do have a labels area below where you can search for example just 8500 themes or just 9700 themes by clicking on the corresponding label.

Pls don't post my themes & Ota links on other sites/forums/blogs WITHOUT my permission. You can however place a link directing them to my blog, but just because you have a link to my site under my theme images and the ota links doesn't mean it's ok. I would have to say I work hard for the themes I create, it takes time to create each one, and would appreciate the kindness at least of asking me first.

Get it? Got it? GOOD! :)

RubyGirl HiddenToday for 9700



This was a request I made for Becky, but it was free so I'm also posting on the blog. Since it was her request, she decided it should be named RubyGirl so I went along with it. Theme is HiddenToday.

9700 OTA

HkPeakabooFriend & Tokidoki1 for 8500 *CUSTOM* 5.0 os ONLY

Tokidoki1 HiddenToday



Tokidoki1 TodayPlus



HkPeakabooFriend HiddenToday



HkPeakabooFriend TodayPlus




Hi Dolls, So there were quite a few of you who had email me about doing conversions to 8500 for the Tokidoki1 and HKPeakabooFriend. I have finished up the conversions, I have included screenies of the themes (Taken from ThemeBuilder) The reason they have blue squares where the icons are is because its displaying where the icon would be placed since I imported the SVG I made, but they will look just like the 9700 theme Icons :) I wanted you to see how many icons or calendar entries will be in the 8500 versions.

It's the same cost as the 9700 themes all for $8.00 or 2 for $4.00
-- I have been doing either 2 in the same set, or like one from each, as some ppl have only wanted TodayPlus versions $4.00 for one TodayPlus each.

You can use the paypal donation link on the blog. PLEASE include your bb model (example 9700 or 8500) and the email address you would like to have the OTA Links sent to you. These are for os (Operating System) 5.0 ONLY.

xoxo Ruby

Tokidoki1 for 9700 *Custom*

HiddenToday


2nd of Chanice's custom request themes. Included most of the screenies I could think of. Thanks to all those who have donated so far for the other custom of her's. (She's actually quite excited LOL) Once again she has said its alright to post here on the blog, which I appreciate and think its sweet of her. Made once again as she has requested two versions, the HiddenToday & TodayPlus.

$4.00 gets you both themes. You can make a donation with the paypal donation button on the blog. Include your email address you would like the links to be sent to you. Right now I have made this for the 9700 which is what she has. I would consider making this for 8900 & 8500 BUT BEFORE making donation pls email me beforehand to go over timeline when should be finished as I may have other requests already. You can email me at ladyrubysthemes@gmail.com

Please allow me up to 24 hrs to have OTA Links sent to you, as I may not be around my computer at the time, but in most cases I will send the links out pretty quickly. Please check your spam boxes as some mail services might consider me as spam?

xoxo

Subscribing to my blog via Email (Feedburner)

Hi Dolls, just wanna come in and say hi, and hope everyone is enjoying their weekend. I went and checked my Feedburner account this morning, & noticed there is maybe 30-40 of ya'll that have status's of unverified. Ways to correct this is to check your spam folders, and see if the verification email has been sent there. Depending on the email service you use it may or may not be in there. I've noticed that with yahoo mail sometimes they do end up there. It may just be your status is unverified because you no longer use that email, which you can always sign up under the new one I assume. Well just thought I would mention a post about it because there is maybe 1/8th of ya'll unverified LOL, and ya'll did sign up to get the email posts which I hope ya'll are getting one way or another. Have a great week!

Blog Look O_o

Got an email about the blog looking messed up when being viewed via the BB's browser so I tested it on mine and got the same issue. I'm not a big can of HTML coding crap so I decided until I can find another template I like or correct the issue Im defaulting back to the one I had before. Tested again, and it doesnt look there is anymore issue. Tomorrow is Friday, looking forward to the weekend! Take care everyone.

Dropbox for Blackberry Finally available for all



Back on August 17th I mentioned about in a post about this pretty cool online storage. You can view the original post HERE

Well finally it seems that the blackberry app version is available for everyone. (Permitting you currently have an account) It is free, so if your interested you can signup with this LINK

This is something I like because I can upload my personal photos to one folder, my theme images to another. Memo's to myself I keep for reminders and ect. You can upload just about anything. Try it out, if you don't like it, it's not a hassel either just stop using it, or delete the account, it is free anyways. It's good for those in school because if your working on an essay or homework you can save and upload it at your home computer, then when you get to school you can download and continue from there.


* Access your Dropbox on the go
All the contents of your Dropbox are available for viewing. You can even stream music and movies in your Dropbox straight to your Blackberry.

* Upload files and sync them to your Dropbox
Upload photos from your Blackberry and email its public link to a friend in less than a minute.

* Share links to files in your Dropbox
Yes! Any file in your Dropbox!

Ubertwitter Beta-9 has been released!



Beta-9 release 1 is now available for download! The version number is 0.99. This release includes some new features, but more importantly includes a major bug-fix that we thought was important enough to warrant getting this to you sooner rather then later. Beta-9 can be downloaded HERE or by going to this site. http://www.ubertwitter.com/bb/download.php

Don't forget to follow me @ladyrubysthemes
Below is a list of the features and capabilities that are new to this release.

* Bug Fix - Fixed a bug where the menu key would become unresponsive and occasionally the device would lock up. This same bug likely was causing excessive battery usage over time.
* New Themes - You asked and we delivered two new themes! The Midnight theme which we think many of you will find extremely appealing, and the Über Classic theme which brings back many of the color choices of version 0.971 including the same solid colors for @replies and DMs
* Filtered ÜberChannels - You loved ÜberChannels, but now we think you'll love it even more! When you pull up the timeline for an ÜberChannel the tweets are now filtered so that you will only see on-topic tweets. Not seeing all of the extraneous tweets, especially on a mobile device, should make the ÜberChannel experience much better!
* Brighter Themes - Listening to your feedback we have reworked the colors in all of the existing themes to make the brighter and more vibrant.
* Notification Flowers - Everyone liked the uniqueness of the notification 'flowers' on the main icon when you had a new tweet/@reply or DM, we made them even better by including a red and white star in the middle to make them stand out.
* TweetPhoto is now Plixi - We have converted it all over to use the new Plixi logo and wording.
* Photo Upload Bug - Fixed a bug in photo uploads which could occur if you had multiple accounts configured on your device.
* Highlight Bars - The highlight bar is now more appropriate for each theme, and we also made the highlight bar flow behind the tweets in the 'bubble' layout, like it did in previous versions.
* Icon Notifications - Fixed bug where icon notifications were not cleared when ÜberTwitter stopped running.
* Sound Notifications - Fixed bug where an @reply sound notification would not sound if there was also a regular tweet notification.
* Hashtag Picker - You can now turn off the hashtag picker under 'options' from the menu.
* Late @replies - Fixed bug where if you received an @reply and saw the notification on the uber bar and then went to your @replies, you couldn't find any new ones there.
* Native 6.0 Build - There is now a native build for BlackBerry OS version 6.0
* Photo/Video Picker - We now use the native Photo/Video file picker on BlackBerry OS version 6.0.

About Exporting to 4.6 os on 8500 & 8900

Hey dolls, so last night I realized that T-mobile had released on 09/02/2010 5.0 os (operating system) updates for both the 8500 & 8900. So I was up last night super late, should I say till this morning because I didnt finish until 230am. It's been a long time coming for these updates if you have T-mobile you will know about this. I didnt do any of the leaked ones because I was always hesitant about it messing up my blackberry which did happen to me once before. So I decided my bb's will be plain Janes until the official comes out, didn't matter too much because on my 9700 I already had 5.0 on it.

I got my hubby his first blackberry a few months ago, that is the 8500. He doesn't use it as most of us technology driven, data unlimited, bb addicts do. He uses it as mainly just a cell phone, but it was a good start for him. I assume sometime next year I'll put him in a droid or something just like it so I can have the 8500 as another toy/backup. :)

The 8900 I have is my love before I went to the 9700, also had 4.6 on it for the longest time. Once I had gotten used to the 5.0 I just couldn't settle in the 4.6 anymore. Sounds funny, but I love the screen transitions, and for SMS just one single message that looks almost like instant messaging back and forth rather than 200 messages one for sent and received back and forth.

One thing I love about the 8900 being on 5.0 os, is the fact if I make a 9700 theme, but using my 8900 I can still download and use that theme. The only thing I and many others have noticed is the fact if your on an 8900 and DL a 9700 theme the call screen image defaults to that blue default image, but everything else works fine. (this goes for any other themers themes not just mine) I have never had any issue or problem downloading a 9700 theme on the 8900, but If you haven't done this yet before, I suggest do so with caution, and make sure that you BACK-UP YOUR BLACKBERRY!!!

So for those T-mobile users who didn't know there was a new os update for your 8500 & 8900 Blackberry's go get them! :)



There are currently two ways you can do this.

1. You can go to the T-Mobile website, go under support, select your device, and then click on update software on the next screen. (It's a little blue icon off to the right) Sometimes T-mobile asks you to choose your device a second time, but that's a simple 2 second step, then it asks for your T-mobile phone number. It then gives you a list of software you can choose to download. For the os update, select the last one which says Handheld Software (v5.0.0.822)

2. Which I think is a lot easier, If you are currently using the most recent Blackberry Desktop Software :
*Plug in your device and it brings up a pop-up stating there is new software update for your device, would you like to download/update? Before accepting backup your device just in case!

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

The update takes anywhere from 45-120 minutes I'd say. Yesterday I spent about 1 hour on each device. Try to do this around a time where you are less likely to use your phone, because once it gets started it is highly recommended that you DO NOT disconnect your device, as it may make your blackberry UNUSABLE to remove it mid update.

Also a quick note about doing the 8500 5.0 update, when you do this it will completely remove the Lock Icon on your Blackberry. (Which I think is lame that you can't get it back) But to lock it after the update you can press and hold the "A" key to unlock OR Press and LONG hold the Pause button on top of your blackberry. To Unlock, it's a quick press to the Pause button in both case's.

If you have any further concerns or anything don't forget if you have T-mobile they have representatives who can assist you with your questions, just call from another phone, or land-line so just in case they need to walk you thru something you aren't on the phone.

**On another note, my understanding T-mobile was one of the last carrier's to not have released an official 5.0 os update, that is why I created 4.6 OTA's but now that it is out I'm going to be exporting to 5.0 only. Hope you all can get your Blackberry's updated, I know you will like the changes if you havent been on 5.0 yet.***

Happy Berrying!

New Look and 3 conversions for 8500 *coming soon*

Hey Dolls, so I decided to change up the layout and template of the site, I can't help but I absolutely L-O-V-E Pink, for me it's super girly, and it's nice to have a bit of change every now and then. Haven't decided yet if im ever going to go back to the previous layout, but im keeping the option there, it's not like I own it anyways LOL. So I hope ya'll enjoy the new layout as much as I do! (I think sometimes you have to click on continue reading to get the OTA links or further information, I came across this when testing from my blackberry's web, I saw the word OTA but it wasn't clickable until I clicked on Continue Reading...)

I've also got 3 8500 Themes coming, hopefully either by later tonight, or tomorrow morning. They are all completed, but I have hubbs in the 8500 right now, so i've got to wait for him to get home and use it for testing. They were requested in one of the previous posts for theme conversions. There will be more to come, as long as I get free time to do so. As most of you already know i've got a bit of a medical condition so I do my themeing mainly around that, and lately my backs just been kicking my butt. But we'll see how it goes because I theme during my free time to keep me busy.

Thanks to all those who have added the facebook theme page, just wanna shoutout don't forget to follow the blog >>> & you can also follow me on twitter @ladyrubysthemes *Have a great weekend everyone!*

8500 Themes...

So I was thinking, I'd like to convert some more themes from 9700 to 8500. If you would like this, or have a theme in mind you would like converted please comment below.

1. Name of Theme
2. 4.6 or 5.0 Operating System

I think I will probably convert the 3 most requested first, and then go back in and do more if it is popularly requested.

Hope everyone had a safe holiday weekend, take care!

XoXo
