I will preface this post by saying that playing around with Javaloader is not for the faint of heart. If you don’t know what Javaloader is I would recommend just ignoring this post.

Matthias Grundmann just sent me an email about his new free application PicasaMobile. His PicasaMobile application is in a VERY early release and currently only supports viewing your Picasa public albums. He promises to develop the application further and considers this release only 50% complete.
This app is a nice stopgap until Google releases the full [...]

The new version allows you to store the configuration file and icons on your MicroSD card so that they are always there. Just keep in mind the images have to be .png files that are 32×32 pixels.

After posting Rcbjr’s instructions on how to unlock vendor themes I promised to follow up with screenshots of the available vendor themes. The screenshots below are from an 8310 and show all of the themes available at this time. The themes for the 8800 are similar and the 8100 themes are more or less smaller [...]

I have to start off this post by saying that these instructions probably do not work for the 8130. With that said Rcbjr (AKA Richard ) has kindly allowed us to republish the great instructions he posted on PinStack.com on how to unlock vendor themes. Yes these are the same instructions we referenced before but [...]

This application will put an icon on your homescreen that will take you directly to the BerryReview.com Mobile Edition homepage. I know quite a few of our readers have asked for such an application. Check it out below:

Wu-wei has followed up on his older themes with a new lighter theme appropriately called “Brighter.” The theme is available for 8300 devices and 8800 devices running OS 4.2.1. It has a nice minimalist feel and seems to be a play on the RIM logo in the background. The author focused on very striking fonts [...]

Right after I posted about Gary’s Cowboys theme I discovered that he has also released a free Chicago Blackhawks theme. I guess Gary has some loyalties (or friends) in Dallas and Chicago. Hopefully Gary is working his way through more teams as we speak.
The Chicago Blackhawks theme follows the same style as the Cowboys but [...]
