Plazmic CDK 4.7 Officially Released

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!!!!

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!

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

By: cleit0042 | Date: Mon, 03/16/2009 - 16:11

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

By: shaydakiss23 | Date: Mon, 03/16/2009 - 15:44

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

By: anditskevin | Date: Mon, 03/16/2009 - 15:45

i guess they just updated there site.. lol

By: flea620 | Date: Mon, 03/16/2009 - 15:46

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

By: natsfan7 | Date: Mon, 03/16/2009 - 15:46

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"?

By: Jalu21 | Date: Mon, 03/16/2009 - 15:51

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

By: @ (not verified) | Date: Mon, 03/16/2009 - 16:03

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.

By: mastermindjb | Date: Mon, 03/16/2009 - 15:46

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

By: Kevin Michaluk | Date: Mon, 03/16/2009 - 15:47

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

By: Jalu21 | Date: Mon, 03/16/2009 - 15:49

I am downloading it now

By: @ (not verified) | Date: Mon, 03/16/2009 - 15:51

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

By: Yes! (not verified) | Date: Mon, 03/16/2009 - 15:58

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

By: knowledge_6 | Date: Mon, 03/16/2009 - 16:00

sweet.. no more crashing phones and freezing..

By: davidnyc | Date: Mon, 03/16/2009 - 16:08

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

By: npunk42 | Date: Mon, 03/16/2009 - 16:17

Click, make a sandwich

By: mattzerby | Date: Mon, 03/16/2009 - 16:59

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?

By: ChuckH0308 | Date: Mon, 03/16/2009 - 21:12

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.

By: solace.discord | Date: Mon, 03/16/2009 - 22:12

same issue here as well..

no clue what I'm doing wrong.

By: yzerman1978 | Date: Mon, 03/16/2009 - 17:52

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!

By: R1cowl | Date: Mon, 03/16/2009 - 18:07

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

By: yzerman1978 | Date: Mon, 03/16/2009 - 18:41

ok thanks so much

By: lets go authors.. (not verified) | Date: Mon, 03/16/2009 - 17:53

if all those themes for pay we'll get updated

By: rbecerra | Date: Mon, 03/16/2009 - 17:54

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?

By: Geos | Date: Mon, 03/16/2009 - 18:07

Taking forever to download. ]=

By: Butta Jones | Date: Mon, 03/16/2009 - 18:10

About damn time :D

By: BasPilot | Date: Mon, 03/16/2009 - 18:16

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!

By: rapsball4 | Date: Mon, 03/16/2009 - 18:18

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.

By: Geos | Date: Mon, 03/16/2009 - 18:39

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.

By: Downtown1111 (not verified) | Date: Mon, 03/16/2009 - 19:04

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

By: shaydlife | Date: Mon, 03/16/2009 - 19:07

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

By: Jiven | Date: Mon, 03/16/2009 - 19:16

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

By: dcruz1040 | Date: Mon, 03/16/2009 - 19:18

Crackberry is basically the greatest website EVER!!!!

By: ProwlingTiger | Date: Mon, 03/16/2009 - 19:20

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!

By: Bla1ze | Date: Mon, 03/16/2009 - 20:15

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.

By: humph (not verified) | Date: Tue, 03/17/2009 - 05:46

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.

By: Geos | Date: Mon, 03/16/2009 - 20:16

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

By: dcruz1040 | Date: Mon, 03/16/2009 - 23:10

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

By: rjlive70 (not verified) | Date: Tue, 03/17/2009 - 01:02

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

By: borockster | Date: Tue, 03/17/2009 - 12:03

excellent

By: borockster | Date: Tue, 03/17/2009 - 12:05

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

By: dixiehuntr | Date: Tue, 03/17/2009 - 12:22

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.

By: Deadpan | Date: Tue, 03/17/2009 - 13:42

Woot! Time to pick up a new hobby!

By: tehnick | Date: Tue, 03/17/2009 - 18:13

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.

By: jp41 (not verified) | Date: Tue, 03/17/2009 - 20:04

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