BlackBerry Software


AutoLock

AutoLock automatically locks the BlackBerry keyboard after the backlight turns off, optionally waiting a configurable delay after the backlight shuts before locking the keys.

To enable/disable or set the delay, go to Options->AutoLock.

OTA Install.
alx/cod for desktop install temporarily down, please use OTA install.

Donate!



SoftReset

SoftReset is a program that allows you to easily soft reset the BlackBerry Pearl without having to take the battery out. Here's how it works:

  1. Install SoftReset.
  2. To reset, run the application and click the big Reset button. Then, choose Reset Now when prompted.

Update: I'm aware this doesn't work on OS 4.5. Unfortunately, I don't have the time right now to work on it.

OTA Install.
Zipped alx/cod for desktop install.

Donate!



ColorPearl

ColorPearl allows you to change the color of the trackball on your BlackBerry Pearl.

Note: The ONLY BlackBerry that this will work on is the Pearl/8100! It is the only device with the colored LEDs behind the trackball. There will not be a version for the 8800, Curve/8300, Pearl 2/8120/8130. Blame RIM, not me!

To enable/disable and set the color, go to Options->ColorPearl.

OTA Install.
Zipped alx/cod for desktop install.
Donate!




Donate

Please DO NOT donate before TRYING the software. Only send me money if you have the program working, and feel like it! There is no need to, and I can't give you extra support or help if you do before you have it working!

This software is FREE! There is no need to send me any money at all unless you want to.

I've had to disable comments because this page was getting too big. I'll try to work on a solution to allow them again.
