Re: EXPORTING CREATED THEME

It should be listed in your "Options -> Themes" on the BlackBerry.  Is it not located there?

Re: EXPORTING CREATED THEME

 

I assume that you are using the first option to publish to your device.  What is the message that comes up in the dialog when you do this?

Re: EXPORTING CREATED THEME

I have a BB Tour, os 4.7. I'm having the same problem--its not with all of my themes, but the majority of themes I make. I make them and test them on the simulator, and it works there. But when I try to install them on my phone they don't work. They show that they're there in the Desktop manager, but not on my phone. I have try both exporting them to my phone and to the BB desktop manager, but neither way works. My next thing is to try and export them as OTA.  I have a feeling that that won't work either since i have recently download a theme someelse made by ota and its done the same thing. not sure what the problem is. . .any help is appreciated.

Re: EXPORTING CREATED THEME

Is your theme created for the BB 8900 Curve? 

 

Try this.  Create a new theme and select BB 8900 Curve from the drop down.  Import your current file and then try an export.  Does that work?
