I have seen a few complaints about that. It seems like the theme.cod isnt loading. I would try the install again. There is a possibility that a theme you had installed on your phone isnt compatible. I would redownload and install apps one by one.

i think i saw in the crackberry forums that i should use BBSAk to delete the tmobile stock theme .i am about doing that now.

I just read that too. Let us know how it worked for you.

it worked.deleted the tmobile stock theme and everything worked fine after a battery pull

For t-mobile users
The T-Mobile theme file is called net_rim_theme_tmobile_BlackBerry6_480x360_b.cod


It can be found here on your PC, and deleted manually...

C:/ Program Files / Common Files / Research In Motion / Shared / Loader Files / 9700M_v6.0.0.344_P6.6.050 / Java

Once deleted, just hook up to DM again, and the theme will automatically be removed from your device

i meant it more like should i install app manually or just restore all apps

Wondering if it will work on Bold 9000? just curious.

On this build i would install apps manually for sure. One by one. that way if a problem comes up you will know where it is.

probably not... but if ya have the balls try it...:bandit:

Okay, well it's running and looks sweet!
But.....
* Bought / downloaded themes (Elecite) dont work because they are for 5.0 so if you bought them you wasted money.
*Cant organize the icons in the way I had them, along with missing 2 emailboxesall icons keep "moving arond" after I moved folders where I want like I could with the 5.0
* Just 1 (lame) background in menu
* Wants to know what you're doing when linked to pc / laptop (charge, media files and something else) Seems like it wont charge untill you tell it to :S
* Lotsof options/ settingsmoved to different folders and / or stored in other places then used to.

I love the way it looks and works, but I think 5.0 is more user friendly when you use BB for a while, 6.0 is a big big change, but to me not all good.
