That color is neon-like and is in the Twitter-client maybe it's a pre load because it will buzzz when Twitter for BlackBerry® Smartphoes is launched and the commercial aspect may be bought by providers;Yet another special dataplan and no real news. what would you say?.pictures of the coloured app are here:

Showed up yesterday after I did an install of 5.0 for my Tour. Prompted me to update App World and Facebook. Then rebooted after installing them both.

I saw it when I updated my Verizon Tour to the official 5.0 without doing a wipe of the device first on Monday night, but it didn't come up when I did the install on my girlfriends Tour (with full wipe and app restore with BBSAK) last night. Must only happen if you do the upgrade and carry over your apps.

I did a fresh install last night with .586 and I have not seen it.

I've never seen it before, but that is a nice theme you have there, care to share? :)

 
 
Posted by Michelle Haag Wednesday, Mar 31, 2010 683 days ago

The theme isn't released yet, but will be soon. It's from Ninja Themes. (http://ninjathemes.net/)

 
 
Posted by jeffreyrr Wednesday, Mar 31, 2010 683 days ago

that saddens me as ninjathemes seldom shows the storm any love.

 
 
Posted by SoulREX Wednesday, Mar 31, 2010 683 days ago

Just wait, this theme should also have a Storm build as well :)

 
 
Posted by ninja please Wednesday, Mar 31, 2010 683 days ago

while that was true before, I've since discovered that I don't suck as bad as I thought at storm themes, so expect this one and others in a storm version soon

those icons are nice. if you could change the striped background showing in the image and use the default one and also change the home screen 8 icons to only show 4 that would be a nice clean theme. I'd use it mainly for the new app/etc icons. be cool if it was free for the Storm2. =)

I got this when I updated my Sprint Tour to OS 5.0 - It was the application that automatically showed up after the install that advised which programs needed to be updated to work with the new operating system.

 
 
Posted by Karlos349 Wednesday, Mar 31, 2010 683 days ago

I got the same prompt when i updated my Bold 9000 to 5.0.0.544. Mine prompted me to update App World, Facebook, My Space and BBM.

 
 
Posted by fism Wednesday, Mar 31, 2010 683 days ago

yup, it was even in earlier Os 5.0 betas (i've seen it on my 9000)

 
 
Posted by mikedemoda Wednesday, Mar 31, 2010 683 days ago

application updater has been working for a long time (at least here in Spain), my friend bought a blackberry storm 9500 over 1 year ago and it already had it by default even when the app world didn't exist and OS was 4.7.0.78 lol
but i don't find it very useful, why would somebody need an app updater when the app world already alerts you when there are updates?

 
 
Posted by misastar Wednesday, Mar 31, 2010 683 days ago

I had that icon too when i downloaded the leaked os to my 8520 the last times. I guess it only happens when you delete your vendor.xml or something?

 
 
Posted by cenloe Wednesday, Mar 31, 2010 683 days ago

Saw it a few days ago after updating my wife's Berry, it showed up on the home screen and after I clicked on it, it disappeared.

 
 
Posted by Jay21fire Wednesday, Mar 31, 2010 683 days ago

I updated my 9700 the other day to the newest OS leak and haven't seen it yet! Wonder y? Wonder if its only for sprint and verizon! Can anyone confirm this

 
 
Posted by SevereDeceit Wednesday, Mar 31, 2010 683 days ago

When I first loaded Sprint's 5.0.0.484 on my Verizon Tour it said Google Talk and Facebook needed to be updated, one click of the trackball and it deleted the old applications and re-installed the new ones. I really liked that...

 
 
Posted by drkBBboy Wednesday, Mar 31, 2010 683 days ago

I got this too when my Storm 1 on vodafone uk made the upgrade to OS 5.0.0.451. I think it affected App World and BBM. Both of which had to be re-installed. I had serious battery life issues for several days after this although this might be something else.

 
 
Posted by agough05 Wednesday, Mar 31, 2010 683 days ago

It is new to 5.0 and it will show up after you install an upgrade, basically it just ensures you have all your apps up to date before it let's them run. It's kind of a neat feature, but it only ever runs after a 5.0 update.

 
 
Posted by murialita Wednesday, Mar 31, 2010 683 days ago

If you have RIM apps installed under 4.7, then upgrade to 5.0, they say you have to upgraded them to make them work with 5.0. If you cancel out of the screen, it places the icon there so you can go back and upgrade them later. For me it was App World, Facebook, and all the messengers except BBM. After the updates finish, it goes away.

 
 
Posted by cwc-tour Wednesday, Mar 31, 2010 683 days ago

Yeah, what theme is that?

 
 
Posted by ninja please Wednesday, Mar 31, 2010 683 days ago

a new one I'm working on, should be released within the week (check ninjathemes.net)

 
 
Posted by Absolution Wednesday, Mar 31, 2010 682 days ago

That is a nice looking theme.

 
 
Posted by HollyDay Wednesday, Mar 31, 2010 683 days ago

I have the Tour 9630 and upgraded to OS 5.484 a while back and never got a flower icon. :( Should I be jealous? ;)

 
 
Posted by Michelle Haag Wednesday, Mar 31, 2010 683 days ago

The flower is a BBM group. :P

 
 
Posted by HollyDay Wednesday, Mar 31, 2010 683 days ago

That's just mean. ;)

 
 
Posted by FIREmarshallVIN Wednesday, Mar 31, 2010 683 days ago

I go this screen immediately following the 5.0 updgrade on my Tour. After the system reset, that update screen came up and told my to update Facebook and Google Talk to the latest version in order to run on 5.0. I actually found it helpful as all i had to do was click the update button after selecting the programs I wanted to update and it ran the downlonad and installation. Ironically, I don't recall seeing the screen when updateing my wifes Tour last night. Oh well.

i got the bold 9700, n i upg 2 .586 i update my apps manually. i never seen that icon b4

 
 
Posted by KFBradley Wednesday, Mar 31, 2010 683 days ago

I got this icon on my Curve 8900 after I tried installing RIM's Ticketmaster app. Apparently it won't run on 5.0.

 
 
Posted by jsanmartinb Wednesday, Mar 31, 2010 683 days ago

It happens to me with Os 5.0.0.545 too

 
 
Posted by squish101 Wednesday, Mar 31, 2010 683 days ago

Sorry to sidetrack but wow what an uber cool theme by ninjathemes.net. that's gonna be my next theme when its out.

 
 
Posted by tyrone8323 Wednesday, Mar 31, 2010 683 days ago

Forget the icon, which theme are you running? That's what I'm interested in right now. Thanks man.

EDIT: n/m Bla1ze. just read all other comments.

 
 
Posted by visualpurple Wednesday, Mar 31, 2010 683 days ago

I've had this ever since I upgraded my 8900 to OS 5. It only shows up when I pull the battery, and then disappears when I click it.

 
 
Posted by senceras Wednesday, Mar 31, 2010 683 days ago

you need to update your app world

 
 
Posted by Bla1ze Wednesday, Mar 31, 2010 683 days ago

App world was already running the latest version. There was no reason for it to show up when it did as I mentioned in the article.

 
 
Posted by gerard187 Wednesday, Mar 31, 2010 683 days ago

I got that screen after restart from a update from Blackberry App World. I'm on .442.

 
 
Posted by blaisedinsd Wednesday, Mar 31, 2010 683 days ago

I got that on my Storm 1 when updating to VZW 5.0. Seems to happen when you do a straight upgrade with the app and data restore from 4.X to 5.0

It actually worked pretty good and updated everything to 5.0 compatible versions, rebooted, and was good to go.

I have changed my OS many times, but only seen this screen that one time...I usually will do a wipe or restore app or data seperately.

 
 
Posted by thatkid2s Wednesday, Mar 31, 2010 683 days ago

I've (literally) taken afvantage of every single leaked OS, and offical OS in addition to numerous hybrids and I have NEVER seen this icon. I have a Tour with Verizon.

 
 
Posted by automan69 Wednesday, Mar 31, 2010 683 days ago

I'm on Telus and have done a lot of upgrades on phones. IE: tour, Storm1, storm2 and bold and never had or seen this icon. Must be what carrier your on.

 
 
Posted by jonno_atamaniuk Wednesday, Mar 31, 2010 682 days ago

Definitely not the case. It happens any time applications may not be compatible. For example, if someone was running a device with older application versions (like my gf's bold 9000 from Rogers which now runs on Telus), those older applications may not work correctly. It seems this "internal checker" is for official RIM apps.

 
 
Posted by MNGolpher Wednesday, Mar 31, 2010 683 days ago

That same screen showed up yesterday after I did an install of 5.0 for my Tour. Prompted me to update App World and Facebook.

 
 
Posted by Caspan Wednesday, Mar 31, 2010 683 days ago

This is the Application loader that looks at currently installed programs and if there is an update will download and update your software.

 
 
Posted by Slapnpop826 Wednesday, Mar 31, 2010 683 days ago

I have the Application Center icon which seems to serve the same function. I wonder if this is the replacement to that app.

 
 
Posted by Detective M Downs Wednesday, Mar 31, 2010 683 days ago

What app is the green and yellow icon?

 
 
Posted by NUBERRY Wednesday, Mar 31, 2010 683 days ago

Yep,

Got it on BB messenger. Did a reboot and it would dissappear only to reappear later. Recently did a memory clean and have not seen it. Running the latest version of BB messenger and OS for 9700.

 
 
Posted by berry_tour Wednesday, Mar 31, 2010 683 days ago

yes it is there in OS 5.0 or higher. it tells you about the available updates for your blackberry :)

 
 
Posted by crop67 Wednesday, Mar 31, 2010 683 days ago

I also got this screen updating to the new tour OS released on Monday. It advised me to update my facebook. I didn't get the icon though. the application updater was the very first screen that came up as son as the phone finished rebooting
