iVista2  iVista22
BlackBerry Storm Version of iVista 2

iVista for Trackball BlackBerrys
iVista for Trackball BlackBerry Smartphones (Bold shown)

Zack over at TheZMan has pumped out another winner, iVista2! Most of you should remember iVista and how it was the fastest selling theme to grace the ShopCrackBerry.com App Store. The reason the original iVista sold so fast was, to put in Kevin's words, was because "It ROCKS!"

Fans of iVista will not be dissappointed by iVista2. iVista2 is a fast, clean theme that works best for the corporate user on the go but still has an extremely creative approach that will impress the everyday casual user. All the icons are set to the user's liking. So you have 6 customizable icons at the top and 5 at the bottom! One of the features I love about this theme is that the media widget actually works!! I also have become a big fan of when I touch my messages having it displayed before I go into my messages folder. iVista2 can be bought for $6 and over all iVista2 is hands down the best theme I have used on my Storm and well worth every penny!

I like it, but is the today verison also for the 83XX???

By: thezman | Date: Wed, 03/11/2009 - 15:48

However, I have had requests for a today version for the 83xx models. I hope to have it available this evening.

By: Sathanous | Date: Fri, 03/13/2009 - 02:03

So is there going to be a today version available? because it looks cool but today is my preferred type.

But why not with an actual Vista background, the theme kicks a$$ but is that an XP in the back?

By: thezman | Date: Wed, 03/11/2009 - 16:23

I used the original Vista background in the original iVista. I felt like this one needed some pop to the color, but true to Win. The background is actually a modified version of a Windows 7 wallpaper.

You're right on the money. It looks quite slick IMO.

By: hoosierdaddy716 | Date: Wed, 03/11/2009 - 16:27

sucks on home screen it only scrolls between profile and first cutomized icon very disappointed they should have worked out bugs before releasing

By: oakley666 | Date: Wed, 03/11/2009 - 16:34

you can do a calendar only, i would be set for a theme and not bounceing all over the place.. lol

By: CreepinDeath | Date: Wed, 03/11/2009 - 16:37

Will you be updating this theme regularly? Will people who pay the 6$ have to pay for the update as well, i.e. for when the next official update for plazmic or the storm O.S. comes out?

By: islandgal808 | Date: Wed, 03/11/2009 - 16:40

Can it be done OTA?

By: thezman | Date: Wed, 03/11/2009 - 16:43

ABSOLUTELY! iVista 2 is 100% OTA installable!

By: johny bravo | Date: Wed, 03/11/2009 - 17:47

What do I do after I purchase ivista 2 through pay pal....How do i get it on my phone......is there a ota sent to me

By: ams165 | Date: Wed, 03/11/2009 - 17:47

How????

By: thezman | Date: Wed, 03/11/2009 - 16:42

Please refer to www.thezman.us/ivista2/ for regular updates. While I try my absolute hardest to work out all of the bugs, inevitably there are going to be a few here and there.

I will make regular updates to iVista 2 to keep it as fresh and as current as possible.

ALL FUTURE UPGRADES WILL BE FREE TO BUYERS! I believe that once you buy a theme, updates to that theme should be free to all buyers.

Please remember to keep an eye on www.thezman.us/ivista2/ for all changes and release information regarding iVista 2.

Thank you all for the continued support and most of all, enjoy iVista 2!

Too much clutter and colors. Probably a nice theme with good features but I've seen better, cleaner looking ones for free.

By: PhilsRule08 | Date: Wed, 03/11/2009 - 16:49

Yeah I just bought it...it's kind of slow, but other than that I like it.

By: zoenay07 | Date: Wed, 03/11/2009 - 17:15

Just downloaded nice me and my husband both got it nice! Thanx

By: Leo.brazuca | Date: Wed, 03/11/2009 - 17:32

Does anybody here has it on the Storm? I would like to know if you're having any problem with it!

By: dougproctor | Date: Wed, 03/11/2009 - 17:35

Anyone have a problem with the white text on the light blue background? Can't see the entries properly.

By: bmac571 | Date: Thu, 03/12/2009 - 02:12

yep, it's totaly washed out. White text against a light background. I can't read my calendar for today,then when I scroll to highlight it is totaly washed out...bummer.I had to change the wallpaper to something dark. I think the text color should have been black to give some contrast. Plus the application, games and download folders all look the same. Sure looked cool in the pictures. I think it is a great idea.

By: bmac571 | Date: Thu, 03/12/2009 - 02:58

ok, I see there is an update that adresses my main concerns. I downloaded and restarted as it says, but now on the home screen there is absolutely no scrolling the screen is locked. I've tried the download process twice and each time the same results.

By: dougproctor | Date: Thu, 03/12/2009 - 06:25

V1.1 has a font colour change but am unable to get the upgrade either from the site or my Crackberry Account. The original one V1.0 has a locked screen now.

By: ams165 | Date: Wed, 03/11/2009 - 17:41

I can see the app in my applications-under options but thats it...

where is the application?????

By: 8350ilover | Date: Wed, 03/11/2009 - 17:41

I installed iVista2 on my 8350i and nothing has changed. Am I just to stupid to figure out how to install it?

By: Mathrin | Date: Thu, 03/12/2009 - 09:37

Did you go to Option -> Theme -> highlight the theme and apply it?

By: johny bravo | Date: Wed, 03/11/2009 - 17:41

I just purchased through pay pal, does anyone know what happens after that......How do I get the theme.....

By: ams165 | Date: Wed, 03/11/2009 - 17:46

you should see an email soon.

By: johny bravo | Date: Wed, 03/11/2009 - 17:52

Thank you......As you can tell I'm new to this so I wasn't sure how long it would take for the e mail

By: dougproctor | Date: Wed, 03/11/2009 - 18:50

The scroll button won't open all the application icons - it does profiles and email but won't reach the others. As someone else said "sucks on home screen it only scrolls between profile and first cutomized icon". Had to battery pull to make it work. And still can't read the white text on the Today bit of the homescreen background. Any ideas please? This is the Bold version.

At nearly £5 for this, thought it might be a bit more polished! And screenshot above is for the Storm - the Bold is pretty bland compared to that. To quote again "All the icons are set to the user's liking. So you have 6 customizable icons at the top and 5 at the bottom! One of the features I love about this theme is that the media widget actually works!! I also have become a big fan of when I touch my messages having it displayed before I go into my messages folder." What media widget? This is for the Storm - not the Bold. Thought I was buying the one above - not very happy with the cut down version!

By: DawnGP143 | Date: Wed, 03/11/2009 - 22:53

I'm in agreement on this one. I downloaded for my Curve 8330, and it's completely different than what was posted on here. I loved the idea of the today theme with the 6 icons on top and 5 on the bottom, and that's not what I got.

Unfortunately, I've already changed my theme back to what I had. $6 wasted if you ask me.

By: 8350ilover | Date: Wed, 03/11/2009 - 17:56

I figured it out. Wasn't smart enough to look at the themes

By: Bnob (not verified) | Date: Wed, 03/11/2009 - 18:17

I just purchased app and received email. The download link is to download on pc and use syncronization cable. How do I download OTA on device?

By: 8350ilover | Date: Wed, 03/11/2009 - 18:18

After installing the iVista2 theme, I found out that only on the Storm does iVista2 have 6 customizable icons and 5 on the bottom. I only have 5 on the bottom and the sound option on the right side. I also have no media widget. Very dissapointed!!!! More research should be done on other devices besides just the Storm before getting everyones hopes up.

By: ams165 | Date: Wed, 03/11/2009 - 18:19

dont want to sound like a schmuck but it would have been helpful if it stated that it was in the "themes" folder of the storm.

also: can't find my "text icon" and noticed it does'nt cover all the old icons...ie visual voice mail, nav, vcast....

but it does look cool...

By: dougproctor | Date: Wed, 03/11/2009 - 18:22

I paid by PayPal and got an email with a link to Crackberry store where I got the option of a Zip file, an SMS or an email with link. Chose the email and it downloaded OTA.

By: wpwren | Date: Wed, 03/11/2009 - 18:39

I just downloaded the theme and have it on my phone, (8350i)...it really is well made and that's the first sense you get, I like it and as the only 3rd party theme on my phone by choice I feel it's a keeper.

I'm having a slight problem with it that I wrote Zack about, the bottom dock comes up only about half into view on the homescreen so you only see the top half of it. I'm thinking it's my phone and my reason for posting here is in the event any other users of the same phone type might offer their experience.

Otherwise It is well made and I'm looking forward to getting it sorted out so I can use it.

By: CreepinDeath | Date: Wed, 03/11/2009 - 18:51

Storm owner here. Got it and it runs very smoothly. The lock screen does seem to have a few issues with graphics, but other than that its all very sleek and seems to not be too much of a memory hog. Fix the lock screen with the next update and this will be one of my best purchases : )

By: mike s (not verified) | Date: Mon, 03/16/2009 - 00:29

check out the clock it doesnt have enough room to show a four numbers . and the lock wich you mentioned

By: dougproctor | Date: Wed, 03/11/2009 - 18:57

Moves between the first icon and the Profile icon only. Nothing else gets selected.
Getting a bit fed up now! Is it only me?

By: chippy19977 | Date: Wed, 03/11/2009 - 19:02

This is a really nice looking theme. The only complaint I have is on the home screen, the trackball scrolls through every option including the profiles icon whether you scroll up, down, left or right. Each direction does the same thing. It would be nice if you had to scroll up or down to move to the profiles icon and if scrolling left and right only moved to the icons on the dock. Other than that, great theme!

By: wpwren | Date: Wed, 03/11/2009 - 19:06

I can scroll across it through all the icons but they're hard to see in addition to the dock being only half in view and there's no text appearing that names the icon's function.

By: blacktoothberry | Date: Wed, 03/11/2009 - 19:12

I would buy for .99 or even 1.99 but $6 forget it

By: Nelimungous | Date: Wed, 03/11/2009 - 19:20

I have bought a few themes in the past, not this one however. I have found that most of them have issues I can't deal with. I will have to make my own. For now I use a few of the original carrier themes and change the background. As you can see from the posts here many users have issues with the theme. Can't spend the "micropayments" anymore.

By: debitsohn | Date: Wed, 03/11/2009 - 19:51

is it just me? also when screen is locked... it looks all mixed up and gets stuck for a lil when going from port to land

By: 32oz (not verified) | Date: Wed, 03/11/2009 - 20:11

Theme will not show the Calender in the background on the Bold homescreen as the sky is too bright and the lettering is white. I should have saved my $6.

By: debitsohn | Date: Wed, 03/11/2009 - 20:19

im sure after the updates come out, this will be awesome... but until then, save your money and read threads about the theme until its upgraded.

By: thezman | Date: Wed, 03/11/2009 - 20:22

ATTENTION ALL BOLD, PEARL FLIP, and 8350i OWNERS

I have updated the major issues concerning the screen getting cutoff (8350i) and the navigational issues (Bold, PF, 8350i)

Please, revisit the original download link you got in your email to get the updates.

Keep track of the change long on:
