FINALLY!!! The moment sooo many people have been waiting for. RIM has FINALLY released the Plazmic CDK version 4.7 which now allows for the legitimate creation of themes for the BlackBerry Storm, Curve 8900 and Curve 8350i.

To all the developers who have been making free and paid themes using previously leaked betas, stock the fridge with Red Bull and get ready for some pizza delivery as you've got a late night ahead of you revamping all of your past creations to make them "official" (and be sure to give free updates to any past customers!). 

From there...let the fun and games begin! I can't wait to see all of the awesome theme creations that will be coming to CrackBerry Nation soon! FINALLY!!!!

Going to port my Bold Themes tonight now :) to 8900

SickNic

Sweet! I'm psyched. A lot of people have made some great themes already. I can't wait to see what they come up with next. Props to all those who've put in time for free themes!

anditskevin

there is no link for 4.7 there..

killastorm

come on kevin, there is no official 4.7 to download on the plazmic site!!!

Jalu21

it's there

thezman

With this release, you'd better believe that iVista 2 will be getting an update ASAP!

cleit0042

That is great news, my favorite theme i have purchased so far. cant wait for the update

shaydakiss23

WOOOOHOOOOO! Nice...now we can REALLY get some solid Storm themes!

anditskevin

i guess they just updated there site.. lol

flea620

Can't wait to see what ya'll cook up!

natsfan7

How is this better than the older software? Will it allow the developers to create better themes, or is it just the same software, but now it's "official"?

Jalu21

there where a few problems like if you hit the mute button you couldn't turn it off on some themes

@

Sweet I was hoping that was the reason. You can turn it off using the menus but not the screen button. Nice to know that was the reason.

MastermindJB

Maybe its just the sudden demand to download it, but I'm finding the link unavailable for the download.

Kevin Michaluk

Added the link that goes straight to the download location from BlackBerry.com

Jalu21

I am downloading it now

@

I hope this new version will be much better. I am having trouble figuring out why I can't put a special icon on for everything. I need to tinker longer. :)

happy theming

Yes!

I can't wait for all the STORM themes and updates! Woohoo!

knowledge_6

sweet.. no more crashing phones and freezing..

davidnyc

someone post a mirror when they get this... the link is swamped!

npunk42

Click, make a sandwich

mattzerby

When I go to run the install it tells me to choose another place to extract the file, every where i try it gives me that message. Anyone else getting this and if not how are you getting it to extract and where is it being sent to?

chuckh0308

I'm having the same problem. No matter what location I select it gives the same stupid message. I may try downloading it again later.

solace.discord

same issue here as well..

no clue what I'm doing wrong.

yzerman1978

i know this is not for the bold, but is there a software to create themes for the bold?? can't seem to find it anywhere. help!

R1cowl

The Bold was released in 4.6 and now they have added the new devices. So have at it.

lets go authors..

if all those themes for pay we'll get updated

rbecerra

I hope the fix the bugs with the storm today plus hidden...I love this theme, but those few quirks suck. And if they do update, how will we be notified so we can download those updates?

Geos

Taking forever to download. ]=

BasPilot

I can't wait, I'm gonna see what else there is available to do, maybe the things I wanted to add together will work now!

ryanlrobinson

I've been putting off playing with the Beta to try to make a theme for myself, but now it might be time to go for it.

Geos

The only things that would make it better would be a Verizon OS update for the Storm 9530, Facebook 1.5 being released, and maybe AppWorld coming to life.

Downtown1111

Whoa! What about Bold?!! I can't make themes for the Bold? What kind of great upgrade is this then?

Shay D. Life

Things are about to be nuts on Crackberry for sure!!! Let's Ride.

Jiven

DL'ing from RIM @ 10.5KB/sec :(

dcruz1040

Crackberry is basically the greatest website EVER!!!!

ProwlingTiger

Well, I wish there was a Mac version of Plazmic, but oh well. I've been creating themes for different systems for years, as graphics design is sort of a hobby of mine. Can't wait to get to work on BB ones!

Bla1ze

burst your bubble folks but really, not much has changed from the Beta to the official, a lot of the bugs that were in the beta still exist in the official release as well.

Lays to rest all the "I wont buy beta themes" though, considering their will not be much of a difference anyways lol.

humph

I totally agree with you!

At least they could have fixed the font issue with this release.... that is the fonts in the theme builder.. being cut off.

well that's about 2hrs of my life I'll never get back waiting for that rubbish to download.

Geos

It's done downloading. Now it's installing. Several (like >2) hours of download time. We'll see if it was worth it.

dcruz1040

Keeps getting to like 95 mb. downloaded, but just stops!!! why why why????!!!

rjlive70

...maybe now iberry blocks today theme won't freeze up my storm.

borockster

I got it early this morning and it won't export. DUD!

dixiehuntr

Have tried downloading it three times. First time got to 46% and then my internet messed up and it gave me an error message saying it couldnt access some site. Then tried it later only to have it stall at 2%. Immediately tried it again at 1am and went to sleep. Got up this morning and it evidently had not downloaded due to the program not being on my comp and nothing else on the screen. I guess due to so many people DL the server is overloaded. New to the them development and wanted to see what it was all about now that the official release has been made.

Deadpan

Woot! Time to pick up a new hobby!

tehnick

Seems to me that the official version really isn't all that much different. There are still things in my theme that are not skinned properly on the phone after export and multiple battery pulls. I even rebuilt the theme from scratch and exported it to test and same thing.

As far as I am concerned, this is still beta software.

jp41

my question is does it still leak memory....?

lcfut

I tried to download last night and it kept timing out.
So i decided to try from work this morning. Went to www.plazmic.com clicked on Download which brought me to a Blackberry.com address.

in BIG RED LETTERS.....

Sorry, you have encountered an unexpected error. Please contact the webmaster.

Funny, i just finished downloading the 8900 device simulator 10 minutes prior!

anyone else getting a similar error?

lcfut

**update**
the link Kevin provided in the original post brings me to the same site - which yields the same result.

lcfut

download finally in progress......

Jules012

Green Storm theme's please!!!!!
(thank you)

Anonymousss

I was getting that red error when I went to download it.. im using google chrome, I switched to IE and it worked fine. try that?
