Merry Berry from CrackBerry.com! Get Your Free CrackBerry.com Holiday BlackBerry Themes & Wallpapers!
A big thanks to James and Artem for getting this new theme together. I'm loving the Holiday Zen theme on my Curve! We have it available for the BlackBerry Curve, Pearl, 88xx and 8700 series smartphones. I was testing/showing off the theme this weekend at some Christmas parties and it got LOTS of oooos and awwwws and I want thats!!! Hopefully for next year we'll have it for the new Dimension L theme that's becoming quite popular. Download Links and Instructions >> CrackBerry.com Holiday Theme Instructions Keep in mind that while we have tested out the CrackBerry Holiday Theme on many BlackBerry devices and varying models, we make no guarantees to it on every device. You should only install the theme if you are comfortable with the process. Be sure to look at the OS version on your device and requirements below before proceeding. Don't install the theme unless you meet the requirements. We had the 8700 theme available for download, but it looks like a few people didn't check their OS (had an older version) and tried downloading and ran into some trouble. I've pulled the 8700 link to ensure this doesn't happen. If you have an 8700 and would like the theme, once you have confirmed your OS you can email me and I will send you the download link. BlackBerry OS Minimum Requirements:
If you are unsure of which OS version your device has, you may check by hitting Alt - Caps - H on your keyboard. This will launch the Help Me! screen and your App Version will be listed. Be sure you meet the requirements!
Over the Air Installation:
Please note your handheld may need to reboot after the theme is installed. To activate your theme once the handheld has rebooted, go to Options > Theme and select CrackBerry. Keep in mind that when you install a new theme, the shortcuts will return to their default (original order/not hidden). You will want to take a minute to organize the layout of shortcuts on your background. To do this simply go to the Application screen and click the menu/option button on the shortcuts you want to Move/Hide. From there you can easily reoder the layout of icons (make your most used apps the first four). Enjoy your new theme!!
BlackBerry Desktop Manager Installation:

just put it on my Curve. Works BEAUTIFULLY. application screen is a bit busy with old mr. crackberry snowman in the background, but he looks good to me and is worth having there. i mainly use my zen 4 apps anyways so its perfect for me.
great site as always
do you think you could make one for the 8700 :)
no love for us 8700 users running OS 4.2? dang, we will not go quietly into the darkness!
it's a plot to get everyone to upgrade to new berrys. just kidding.
i'll look into the 8700 theme. i think the big there is that the Plazmic theme reader is required (must be downloaded and installed first in order to see the new theme) so it adds a step to the process.
will check with the boys and see if they can pump out an 8700 one for all ya 8700 users out there.
everytime i type in the web address to download the theme OTA it says web address not found. Anyone else with this issue?
the url is definitely there and working. it is case sensitive though. make sure CrackBerry.jad has the capital C and B in it.
The capital B is what got me. Just kept reading over it. Thanks Kevin! :)
I had trouble getting the page to load as well. It finally works b/c I think it's case-sensitive. Hope this helps
Yeah some 8700 love would be nice :)
8700 Theme Ready for Download. OS 4.2.1 minimum requirement.
I made doubly sure I had it all typed correctly still getting: error 403 HTTP/ site unavailable. So I loaded it thru the Desktop manager. It worked but the date shows as Dec. 1st not the 10th. Checked the date and time and it is showing the 10th. Any ideas on correcting this?
thanks

Not sure on the date error. Very strange. Will send onto developer to look at.
What carrier are you on? Have had several people use the Pearl OTA link without problem so not sure why you are receiving that error.
I was able to have my Pearl work with OTA, but the date is displaying as "MON, DEC 1" ... my guess is that it's not wrong, but may not have the room needed for the "0" ... my message notification icon is very close to the "1" in the date... (I'm on Sprint) Other than that though, I love it!
Updated Pearl theme now available. Just had to make the text area slightly bigger for the double digit dates.
Thanks for the quick fix! Great job!
I am on Verizon. Other ringtones, themes,etc. loaded with no issues.
Thanks for wonderful xmas theme...
Works like a charm... ;)
And this some bug on theme? I dont see that communication arrows...
The send/receive arrows are left off on purpose. Not a bug. Developer said most people don't like them...especially when you see them moving and you're not doing anything, so they're not there.
Took me a few minutes to get used to that, but I like it too!
Thanks for clear that...
And is better without arrows...
Well, I kept trying and finally it loaded over the air. Also the error code was 404 not 403. The date is still showing as the 1st.
Over the air load was great, my problem is the wrong date I have Dec 1, I have a pearl from verizon.
Everything looks and works beautifully except mine also reads Dec. 1st, any ideas? I also have a Pearl from Verizon.
I have had my blackberry 8830 for a couple of months and still exploring, I have tried to hook up to the computer and it explains the USB not sufficient and I really admire the holiday screen.HELP.Thanks for your time.
Hey Guys,
OK, I replaced the Pearl theme with an updated version. The date WAS showing correctly (technically), you just couldn't see it. The text box/display area wasn't quite big enough for the double digit dates.
Sorry for the inconvenience, should be fine now. At least the price is right! :)
Let me know!
Kevin
Reloaded the theme and it works. thanks Kevin.
It looks great on the Pearl.
We just added a 8700 compatible version to the mix, for OS v.4.2.1.
Enjoy!
I just noticed the date, thans for the update.
Absolutly awesome theme. Thank you so much Kevin!!
i have the 8130 through verizon and it loaded beautifully. great job with it and happy holidays. thanks!
So I downloaded the new Christmas theme for my 8703e and well my berry just keeps restarting. The hour glass flips a few times then all the lights shut off, then it restarts all over. Any help....
i'm having the same problem. let us know if you figure it out!! (i have the same BB)
The 8700 theme is/was working fine, so long as you installed on the proper OS per the instructions in the blog post.
This is always the risk with themes - you need to check the details before you install. If you find yourself in a permanent reboot sequence, it likely means you didn't check the OS requirements (or did and installed anyways) and didn't meet the requirements.
Not the best situation. It's one that probably every BlackBerry user faces at some point if they start installing/buying themes. Apologies that it happened here if it did. Not the intent! Gotta read the instructions. But if you are finding yourself in a reboot, you can be back up and running fairly quick:
- Try a Battery Pull First - it may fix the problem
- If you're finding yourself in the same situation, try connecting to your computer via USB. If your USB stays connected, you can reload your OS and you'll fixed.
- If you find your BlackBerry is in a constant reboot cycle and therefore won't stay connected to the USB (it connects, disconnects, etc.), then you'll need to reload the OS by following the instructions at this link:

I've pulled the 8700 theme for now, as it seems this is where a couple of people have run into problems - they are not running an updated OS and are running into problems (the OS the device shipped with is probably not the same as the required version stated above).
having the same prob. as below. Can't cut it on or off...anyone know what to do??? (I have a 8703e) also)
Did you look at the OS requirements before installing?
You need to check that before installing always with themes (mentioned it a couple of times in the blog post). If you install a theme a new them on an older OS you can run into problems.
I'm going to pull the 8700 version so this doesn't happen anymore for now. The odds are you were running an older OS version than required.
i love this theme
Is it possible update your APP version? Mine is at 4.1.0.352 on my 8703e
Can update to 4.2 here:
http://vzw.smithmicro.com/blackberry/download.aspx
Is there a way to get the Holiday theme for the my Pearl? Its seems that the New Blackberry owners don't get these options for downloads. Why is that?
Thanks
Have tested the Pearl Theme on several 8130s. All Good. It's the Minimum OS requirement that needs to be met in this case.
You'll have to do OTA installation though. The Desktop Manager installation won't work with the theme. But the OTA install link on the 8130 is working (at least on all the 8130s we tested it out on!)
Very cool. It worked over the air no problem.
Love the theme, the only thing i noticed is when i am connected to the UMA (t-mobile) it does not show the strength, besides that AWESOME, Thanks!!
Looks beautiful guys, thanks for a great theme!
Installed the update. It is all good. Thanks I love it.
The font's is too small for my eyes,
is there anyway to increase the font size?
Actually, I would like theme for 8703e. I am still a little new to this and I am not sure if all 8700 series things are compatible.
Happy Holidays
thanks
Rick
sorry for the duplicate request.
I have the 8703 running the 4.2 OS. Just thought I should clarify.
Thanks again.
Rick
should be ok as long as you meet the minimum requirements. but 8700s have been known to be a bit more likely to not like themes. it worked on my 8700 though
Works great! Looks Great! Thanks for the holiday theme!
beware 8703 Users..I had to get a new blackberry. =(
you problably didn't read the instructions in the blog post. with themes you always have to make sure you have the proper os version. guessing your 8703 had OS 4.1 and you tried installing without looking. rookie mistake
