Hey guys,
It came to my attention (after researching for the last 2 hours) that there is no single thread about common issues when installing themes. So...i figure I will make one.
The following is what I found for installed theme, which is (are) visible in "Options -- Advanced Options -- Applications", will not show up in "Options -- Themes"
In order to install custom themes, you have to have original Dimension Today, Zen, and Icon themes installed on your BlackBerry. These themes are on all devices by default but could have been removed for whatever reasons.
Theme is not build for your device or software version, but note that you can install lower OS theme version but not the higher one.
Battery needs to be pulled after OTA installation. When installing through Desktop Manager it is performed automatically.
If installing using Desktop Manager current BlackBerry OS must be installed on a computer.
BES (IT restriction) for those that are using it, might prevent you from installing third party applications, thus for themes as well. This is usually up to your IT department.
Not Enough Memory or Lack of Memory, which is rare occasion but it might prevent you from installing.
These are just the once I found searching the Internet. If anyone has some more ideas why would installation fail, please feel free to add it here.
Maybe admins could make this 'sticky' as it seem to be important to this site.
