So far I am very happy with the upgrade of iVista 2 from the first version. The flaws from the first version have been corrected. Good job Z Man

I purchased the 1.1 version, and I downloaded the update, but it's seam to have been deleted from my inbox for it being too old. Is there another way to get the update without downloading it again?

....paying for it again

The upgrade is free and well worth it. The Bold version is outstanding, although it does use up a little more memory and battery than other themes. But overall this is a great and innovative theme. The call screen and message screen are very crisp and the home screen on the Bold looks outstanding with other wallpapers.

Just bought it and I was wondering how long it takes to get the link.

I just received my download link within 10 minutes of purchasing.

This theme looks awsome...it would be cool to have a trial version (expires in three days or so) to determine if one really wants it. I know it is only six bucks, I'll probably buy it anyway...just a thought.

Edit: Waiting on Link to Download.
Edit2: Got it - took about 10 minutes; Question - is there a way to change the backgroung image?

Yes sir. You just go to your pictures and find one you want to use for your wallpaper, press the blackberry button, then select "Set as Home Screen Image"

Love the updates for the newer devices but what about the 83xx?? I purchased the theme the day it released and love the theme, but would love to see an updated version for the 83xx version. What about a today plus theme??? That would be killer!!! I would pay for it again if needed!!!

 
 
Posted by ugahairydawgs Wednesday, Mar 25, 2009 1054 days ago

Decided to take the plunge to try it out (somebody really needs to figure out how to work a trial period to these themes).

It's ok.....nothing earth shattering on the Bold. Calendar on the right side is basically unreadable because of the size and the inability to freely scroll from top to bottom without having to go to the ends of each is a pain.

It was pretty laggy at first too....but found that a battery pull does the trick to fix that.

 
 
Posted by tellsells Wednesday, Mar 25, 2009 1054 days ago

The calendar on the right side is just an icon (non-functional)that when you scroll over goes to today feature or click to get to your calendar.

But there is a capital letter "A" underneath the time. Does this mean AM? Cause its 1:00PM so shouldnt' it say "P"

Just sayin...

I have a Bold

 
 
Posted by tombo Wednesday, Mar 25, 2009 1054 days ago

it's for Alarm. My bad. Love the theme otherwise.

Looking at that first pic, is the date March 23rd, October 16th, or March 6th?

 
 
Posted by tellsells Wednesday, Mar 25, 2009 1054 days ago

The correct date on the picture on top is March 23. October 16 is just a date on the regular calendar icon, but you do not need a calendar icon on top as you have the calendar icon on the bottom right. March 6 on the bottom right icon is also a "dummy" date, as it is just a picture of a calendar.
The top 4 and the bottom 5 icons are customizable.

i have the storm 9530 and the memory with all my programs always stayed between 40-45 MB free... once this theme was installed within 10 min the memory dropped to 27.6 and 20 min it was at 8.8 free. Anyone have suggestions to fix this? Tried battery pulls works for 30 min then back down below 10 MB free and phone overall becomes slow. Not sure what to do..

 
 
Posted by crackersberry Wednesday, Mar 25, 2009 1054 days ago

I also had that problem with the updated version and also the original storm version. I took it off completely.

 
 
Posted by Desh9583 Wednesday, Mar 25, 2009 1054 days ago

ive had the same issues...

 
 
Posted by murk Wednesday, Mar 25, 2009 1054 days ago

So has anyone tried the ivista2 on the storm 9530 without any problems? Is it worth buying for the storm 9530?

 
 
Posted by CLAYPOOLS Wednesday, Mar 25, 2009 1054 days ago

This theme is one of the best I have downloaded

 
 
Posted by Vendettx Wednesday, Mar 25, 2009 1054 days ago

i bought this today after i saw how amazing it looked however the "today" part is not working for me.. is there any reason for this? messages calender events etc dont show up when i hover over the icon or the big calender on the right

how do i fix this? i have version 1.2

 
 
Posted by Vendettx Wednesday, Mar 25, 2009 1054 days ago

okay so when i set calender events i had it set under my email i mainly use and it didnt show up but when its set under a secondary gmail that i pushed to my phone it shows up.. any idea how to choose which profile the theme will go with?

 
 
Posted by nickbiris4884 Thursday, Mar 26, 2009 1053 days ago

I love this Theme. Keep making them I will Keep buying them. Thank You!!!!!:)

 
 
Posted by KDsport Thursday, Mar 26, 2009 1053 days ago

I have the Storm 9530. Once I used the theme,I deleted it and consider it a $6 donation. Not a flexible program. I was unable to make my own folders. It also slowed everything down-a huge resource sapper. A battery pull does fix the slowness.

 
 
Posted by 1911acp Thursday, Mar 26, 2009 1053 days ago

The lag issues and mem drain seem to be OK after a couple of pulls. I cannot figure out how to customize this theme's main screen. I also cannot get weatherbug to show up on the home screen as seen in the screen shot examples. Anyone know a link to instructions? Thanks in advance.

 
 
Posted by pluto95 Thursday, Mar 26, 2009 1053 days ago

Thank you for the update, but only problem i have is theres no profile setting on the home page for the bold :S or maybe i just can't find it but other than that, its great though.

 
 
Posted by Sinema Thursday, Mar 26, 2009 1053 days ago

I got the theme and loved it for a minute, til I realized that it doesn't have some of the nifty features that my current Vista theme has.

I'm using Curve 8320 and being able to see a "Message" section on my homepage. My current theme does this and iVista 2 does not. Well not for the version of Blackberry I have.

I'm sure if this was available for future upgrades it would be a more used theme for my curve.

It's great looking though, I won't talk down about this theme :o) very much worth the price.

 
 
Posted by BRICKHOUSE Thursday, Mar 26, 2009 1053 days ago

This theme is quite possibly the best theme to date! PERIOD! Thanks Z-Man!

 
 
Posted by Thursday, Mar 26, 2009 1053 days ago

Im having trouble finding my original download so i can get the upgrade......... Any help?

 
 
Posted by murk Thursday, Mar 26, 2009 1053 days ago

I hear a lot of great reviews for the iVista2 but not any from storm users. Just the memory problems with the storm.

 
 
Posted by mcagayat Thursday, Mar 26, 2009 1053 days ago

i just bought this theme and it is AMAZING! very pretty and efficient at the same time

BUT i think it has a bug on my 8900...the messages have selected text i've sent at a particular date and its stuck there even when i have new messages, so i dont know how to fix it...i did battery pulls and eveyrthing

 
 
Posted by savjr Thursday, Mar 26, 2009 1053 days ago

I bought it for the storm and I really like it. It does use more battery and tends to lag, but it is really clean and overall works great. It would be cool if you could adjust the number of rows and the background picture. I know you can, but when I try it the layout of Icons change on the home page. When the phone is locked it would be way cool if you could put a picture in the folder that shows.

All in all - its well worth the $6.00 - Thank you

i really like the update but two problems. firts my battery seems to loose its charge quickly. second. my response time has really slowed down tring to figure out why havnt yet but the upgrade is very good

I paid on Wednesday and still have not received a download link, no response from CS...

This is my first theme on my 8900 (running .199) and so far I like it, but it has some things I wish would change in the next update. First, I have great eye sight, but the font is very small, to include the bottom dock icons. I'd like to see it a little larger if possible. Next, even though my 8900 has a hefty size of on-board memory, this theme seems to drop it from where it usually hovers after a days use of 135MB to 128MB...which is not bad considering the amounts, but I wish it wasn't such a memory hog. As for battery life, I've only had the theme active for about a day (most of which was overnight), so it's hard for me to know if the theme will affect it or not. Another thing I noticed was the reactionary time from app to app is a bit slower then with the embedded themes. I mean its not crawling, just doesn't have the same snap that I'm use too. I also wish I could disable the calender widget, since I don't use it. And since I have birthdays on my contacts info, it shows those when I hover over the calender...which can be annoying. Now, on to the things I like...

I like the layout and the ability to customize nine icons on the home screen...awesome! Even though I use QuickLaunch (which I love), I love how I can get to the apps I use the most and still have room to add a few more. Even though there is a lot going on the home screen, IMO it doesn't seem cluttered and in fact is well placed. I also like how the background can be user set. Last, I have read how some themes take longer to load after a battery pull. Well to me, this theme takes about the same amount of time to load as does the embedded themes take.

To the developer, good job and I look forward to the next update.

Edit (3/30)- I've found the battery indicator only displays in increments of 10 and most times, it's hard to tell what the battery sits at from the indicator. So, I use QL to check it. I would like to see that fixed, if possible as well.

Next, my memory has settled down too. After a few battery pulls, I have found my memory to be back to normal. So on my 8900, this theme IS NOT a memory hog as I once thought. Great news!

At first I thought this was the best Theme I have downloaded. Then after awhile my phone started locking up and freezing. It must have been due to the memory issues everyone is talking about so I had to get rid of it and went back to iBerry blocks.

 
 
Posted by OrcaStorm Friday, Apr 03, 2009 1045 days ago

I have been experiencing the same issues with the phone function, in addition to long delays when unlocking my screen. Important business calls were compromised as a result, so I had no choice but to uninstall the theme.

ZMan - show us Curve users some love! The app looks cool, but it really doesn't offer anything different from what the stock themes offer. I know the 83xx series is a little out dated compared to the Storm & Bold, but we're still proud Blackberry users too! Hook us up!

i don´t like! i lost my money :(

 
 
Posted by Lord Dork Thursday, Apr 02, 2009 1046 days ago

So I downloaded the theme today and was impressed. My only concern is that I also downloaded two other themes. When I tried to switch to one of the other themes to try it, I found that only the icons changed the rest of the theme was still running iVista. I tried deleting iVista and it still looks like it is on my screen. Has anyone else experienced this issue? And if so, what can I do to avoid it?

 
 
Posted by dward Wednesday, Apr 08, 2009 1040 days ago

Does anyone know if iVista 2 is version 1.2? That's what my application list is showing the version to be. If there is a later version, pls advise and I'll go the Zman.

Thanks

I know I'm new to all this, but why is there a Wifi icon on the Storm screenshot?

Am I missing something?

I just downloaded the paid version to my phone and it messed it up. I have storm and ereased all my themes, now i have tiny icons that i cant even use
