This is BlackBerry Theme Studio 5.0, an environment that was presented during the last edition of the BlackBerry Developer Conference. Contrary to what one would expect, though at first glance may seem to be simply a utility to change the ringtones and wallpapers, the fact is that we have discovered a complete environment that allows us to make profound changes in the system, both aesthetic and functional, even the interface can greatly enhance the system.

BlackBerry Theme Studio consists basically of two applications: Theme Composer and Bouldering. First, Composer is a tool that allows us to design, create and modify animations. In this way we can create custom videos for later included as part of a fund. An interesting fact is that, in order to facilitate the work we already have to import animations created as GIF graphics to accept documents from SFW (Flash).

Moreover, Theme Builder allows us to make a deep customization of BlackBerry devices, from basic to deep (for example, changing the desktop background or ring tone, to even move or change the menu icons) .

It is always advisable to build our theme for the device with which we go to work because, depending on the type of device we will find screens of different sizes or resolutions, for example.

In fact, to facilitate this task we can download different simulators of various existing BlackBerry models (Storm, Bold …) in order to see in advance the aspect of our subject before their deployment on the device.

After developing our subject can be taken in the World App for anyone to download and apply it in your terminal, or even can put on our web server so that our clients can access it.

The most interesting part of the solution is that the BlackBerry platform Theme Studio (both Theme Builder and Performer) is free, as well as simulators, and can access files through the official product site.

DFU mode (Device Firmware Update) is a state of the iPhone or iPod Touch that allows us to restore your firmware. It is the only solution when our device is frozen for whatever reason.

The steps to enter this state mode are:

1. Plugged the iPhone / iPod Touch to your computer and open iTunes.
2. When iTunes has detected it, turn off the iPhone / iPod Touch.
3. Hold the Home + Sleep buttons for 10 seconds.
4. After those 10 seconds, release the Sleep button, but keep another 10 seconds the Home button.
5. When you pass the time, the device’s screen must be completely black, as if estubieron off.

From there we follow all the steps that we tell iTunes to restore firmware poderle.

Remember that it is only advisable to use the DFU mode if you have unsuccessfully exhausted all other options for restoration

While it is widely known that application development for BlackBerry is still in a very nascent stage in front of the iPhone, there are some “jewels” that can help significantly improve the production experience with this smartphone. Nice is one such office.

This kind of virtual office allows managing web directly from your email, calendar, contacts and tasks on your blackberry. You can also store documents from the Web, joining them from the mobile device and send them by email.

For more advanced users, the application allows the creation of fields for sales and CRM, creating a center of information in real time, the business situation.

Finally, and perhaps most importantly, this complete application is free (although there is the possibility of buying a premium version). A serious alternative to the Blackberry desktop manager.
