HTC Slide Theme For BlackBerry Storm!!

HTC Touch Theme!

Now this is slick.  Typically I don't like themes that are mock ups of other devices such as Windows Mobile or Android.  I feel like if I wanted a Windows Mobile theme, I'd have bought a Windows Mobile device, right? But this one is different. This is like a splash of HTC's TouchFlo smacked with BlackBerry branding.  This theme has some serious looking animations, all compiled into a theme that flows much better then even the devices it's based on. HTC Touch Slide by CrackBerry.com forums member KDJayo is just simply beautiful.

With Quicklaunch integration, huge animated sliding icons and "hidden" buttons all over this place, all I can really say is I'm throughly impressed by this one. If not only by how slick it looks, but how it functions as well. If you want to see the theme in full action you can check out the Youtube posting of the video. As well, KDJayo has incuded some sexy custom wallpapers in the original forums post. Sadly, currently only available for the Storm at this point.  The cost is just right for this kind of theme and you can pick it up for only $5. I can only imagine the time it took for this one.

for all of us that want our BlackBerrys to look like WinMo Devices...

What about ECruz's theme? His is equally as good...

For some reason you feel the need to say this here because...?

Persus57, what a troll, don't listen to her crap

ECruz did have a great theme, good detail

Because I wasn't sure why only KD's was being advertised... I thought I made that pretty clear. Having some comprehension issues there pal?

But if I must explain, I felt the need to post this here because ECruz and KD both spent a great amount of time working on their themes. The difference is ECruz offers his for free, despite all of the effort that he puts into it. I think he deserves a little bit of recognition as well. Nothing against KD, I think he does a great job and he definitely has the right to charge for it. But they both deserve some appreciation.

I just started developing themes and I think my first one is pretty cool...Then this comes along and DAMN! I am not one for buying themes, but I had to with this...it is one bad A$$ theme that looks and runs great!

I loved my touch pro. Might install this just for nostalgic purposes.

I made the wallpapers for this theme. It runs really smooth. Very light theme.

 
 
Posted by shaydlife Thursday, Apr 30, 2009 1120 days ago

I thought that everyone would agree on this being a nice theme, but I look at the first two comments...Wow!!! Thanks again to Justin Rampage for the wallpapers that make the theme what it is. Alright KD, looks like it's time to get back to work.

I have noticed huge memory leaks with themes. Would love to give this one a go, I was a HTC Touch user for a year, and loved their format and theme! Wish it had the weather theme in it as well. that was one of the coolest features of that phone.

my calendar entries do not show up on the today portion of the screen. They are associated with gmail account. Help Please

Are you freaking kidding me? Why would I want to run an HTC theme on my beautiful Storm? Ewwww!!!!

 
 
Posted by Persus57 Friday, May 01, 2009 1119 days ago

I ask, you feel the need to say this because? Tell you what, why don't ewwwwwwwwww take your ewwwwwwwwwwww where it might actually be welcome...

This theme is amazing. The animations are so slick and smooth. Theme is fast and NO lag. It is all around a super theme. Congrats KDJayo on such a killer theme :)

I love this theme...I cant however figure out how to take the icons off the screen. Like I have my home icon one row icons...but then two more rows show up that when u touch them they wiggle. Does anyone know how to remove them? Thanks for your help...and thanks again to the creator....this theme is seriously sick.

 
 
Posted by shaydlife Thursday, Apr 30, 2009 1120 days ago

Tap the little orb that's right above your home row icons, and the top two rows will slide out the way.

 
 
Posted by rj5570 Thursday, Apr 30, 2009 1120 days ago

curious if there is much of a memory leak with this theme, like there are with all other themes?

 
 
Posted by Keyser-Soze Thursday, Apr 30, 2009 1120 days ago

Why pay for a theme when there is a free one from ECruz ... http://forums.crackberry.com/f131/htc-95xx-ecruz-216082/

Good Looking APP!

Because E Cruz's is like a watered down version of everything this theme has to offer.

And Ecruzs file size is above 800kb WITH a massive memory leak

This one is twice as good with fluid animations and just, much more polished.

I love it when people post negative comments like this it is always anonymous who post them. Oh well. KD great job on the theme.

 
 
Posted by halfnoon2002 Thursday, Apr 30, 2009 1120 days ago

Matter of opinion I suppose. I give props to both E and KD. Both themes are very nice :-)

 
 
Posted by hastings Friday, May 01, 2009 1119 days ago

As a neutral third party, I suspect the size difference is purely based off the fact that E's version uses colour icons and KD's does not. With the exception of wallpapers, icons are the biggest contributor to file size.

nope

 
 
Posted by serpico Thursday, Apr 30, 2009 1120 days ago

It's still nice because it doesn't have the winmo look. HTC has done a nice job on this black sleek look.

 
 
Posted by doidaporti Thursday, Apr 30, 2009 1119 days ago

gotta love forums... kids will be kids you know?!

kd... great job

e... great job.

people need to stop comparing these themes and bashing one another, this blog should not have any mention of comparison (even though from what i see i like em both :p) but why sit here and bash e's theme or kd's theme... get a life!

.141 and a sick app on the same day!

Thank you sweet baby Jesus!!

 
 
Posted by Cobra302 Thursday, Apr 30, 2009 1119 days ago

available on another device like the bold? seems that the storm has some really neat and inventive themes with animation. is it possible to get a theme like this for a bold? or does the device somehow limit it? very nice though!

 
 
Posted by CeluGeek Thursday, Apr 30, 2009 1119 days ago

I wouldn't mind having an HTC Shadow-esque Sliding Panels theme on my Curve 8900.

 
 
Posted by blacktoothberry Thursday, Apr 30, 2009 1119 days ago

same exact theme FREE -----

Its really NOT the same, I have tried both, they are both good, but definately not the same AT ALL.

 
 
Posted by blacktoothberry Sunday, May 03, 2009 1117 days ago

Yes its the same and I have not noticed a memory leak

 
 
Posted by sirtikalot Thursday, Apr 30, 2009 1119 days ago

but runs a little slowwww..or maybe its that .141..who knows find out yourself but looks slick as a mother..

 
 
Posted by Dragonballt Friday, May 01, 2009 1119 days ago

Just purchased and loaded,,,,This is the best theme I have to date for the storm...It is superfast and very smooth works faster then the storms built in theme...awesome

 
 
Posted by HarlyFan Friday, May 01, 2009 1119 days ago

Wonder if the Quicklaunch will work on.141

 
 
Posted by bhamze Friday, May 01, 2009 1119 days ago

Nice theme. Worth the money. It would be nice to see this theme with some color. Maybe next time around. Still, a must download. GOOD JOB!!

 
 
Posted by jimmyjames420 Friday, May 01, 2009 1119 days ago

I really like this theme. I do have to say that it uses a lot of RAM. Before I applied this there I used 30% RAM now it is using 50% RAM. I wish, please do not bash b/c I know it is supposed to replicate HTC, he modified it to use more color and call it the HTC Slide Color theme. We have great displays and should take abvantage of it. Great work otherwise. Works fine on .132

 
 
Posted by blakdragun Friday, May 01, 2009 1119 days ago

Love the theme but for some reason Quicklaunch isn't working properly. when i have it open is constanly blinking, anyone have the save issue? is there a way i can fix this?

 
 
Posted by Savnakk1 Friday, May 01, 2009 1119 days ago

im having the same issue. it will blink really fast when i pull it up.

 
 
Posted by kdjayo Friday, May 01, 2009 1119 days ago

The quicklaunch issue is because you installed .141, not the theme, go check out fixes for it on the forum. Thanks for the support guys

I have a question about this theme. After i do a battery pull i have 1 row of icons at the bottom. Then i am not sure how it happens but poof! then i have three rows. I am not sure how this happens and can not figure out how to put the three rows back to one row. Can someone explain this to me? Thanks!

 
 
Posted by arche3s Sunday, May 03, 2009 1117 days ago

slide your finger along the top of the bottom row of icons. Right to left I think. It will slide the middle row of icons out of the way. slide your fingers left to right and the 3 rows come back. really slick.

If you decide to invert the clock, message me and i'll buy it!

 
 
Posted by JazzL5 Friday, May 01, 2009 1118 days ago

I really like the look of this theme especially because I seriously wanted the HTC Touch when I read about it (2007)before it was released. Since it was initially a GSM phone, it never happened but I love my Storm and wouldn't trade it for anything! Anyway the only thing I don't like about this theme is how it reorganizes the application folders (Download, Setup, Application and Games). I hope that will be fixed in a future upgrade. Otherwise, it is a gorgeous theme and it does not seem to be a battery drain!

 
 
Posted by Saturday, May 02, 2009 1118 days ago

I've been playing around with the HTC them for about 2 days now and let me tell you this theme is smooth! i wish it came out sooner before i purchased all those other themes. I would've saved a lot of money! LOL

 
 
Posted by 3G.BoldBerry Saturday, May 02, 2009 1118 days ago

love this theme is there one for the blackberry bold you storm users have fun please post how this theme works if its just as good or better than the ppc.

 
 
Posted by blacktoothberry Sunday, May 03, 2009 1117 days ago

if the post is anonymous my guess would be its the builder

 
 
Posted by kdjayo Sunday, May 03, 2009 1117 days ago

Your really bugging me man, you obviously have zero respect for me. But whatever. I hope this gets off the front page soon because it was almost not worth the recognition because of people like you hating on me for no reason at all. Cya.

 
 
Posted by arche3 Sunday, May 03, 2009 1117 days ago

this theme rocks! I like the fact that I can see the appointments in my calendar from the home screen.

 
 
Posted by Jimmer55 Monday, May 04, 2009 1116 days ago

I love the looks of this theme and the ease of how it can be operated...however, it's eating memory like it's at an all you can eat buffet...I have to do a minimum of 3 battery pulls per day...before I installed it i would boot with 38mb and it would float most of the day at 21mb to 26mb with moderate use during the business day...now it will boot with 26mb and within 6 hours of the same moderate use, it will be at 6mb to 8mb...I am running OS version 132..I can't imagine having a bit of color in some highlighted bars could cause that much drain, but I supposed it does...Love it but can't keep it on with that much drain...It's a shame, because I really like the theme.
