Blackberry 8700g vendor theme unlock
Jul 12th, 2007 by dmess0r
I stumbled across some information which indicated that there were some hidden vendor specific themes buried in the 8700g, so I decided to perform some hackery.
Here is a screenshot of the “Theme” menu output in the “Options” menu on my stock T-Mobile (blech) 8700g.
And after hacking the Blackberry.alx file, here is the result (two part due to scrolling)
Here is the patch to make it happen.

But wait, theres more, you might ask yourself, “But I already have this version of the firmware installed on my 8700g, how can I install it after I patch it?”
- Go here and get the handheld download which matches the device:
http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/downloads/index.jsp - Use patch(1) and patch this file:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\Shared\Loader Files\8700-v4.1.0.346_P2.0.0.143\Blackberry.alx - Open up the Blackberry Desktop Manager and re-sync.
Enjoy!
