  • Don't be afraid to use your nails to pry up the rings i find it easier and hella faster.

  • @Ownthem duhh lmfao! how does it light up???! hahahhaha fuckin idiot

  • very good camra quailty

  • @Ownthem yes. there is a light under the trackball. and yes, the light will change the color of the entire lighted trackball.

  • nice! i used contact paper so the color wont wear away

  • yo u guys i have bb bold 9000 myself i relli do wanna change the ball but i will never do it......the reason is when tht guy had annotations saying if u break one of the slide thing your phone will have issues so why wreck a sick phone just for a flippin colour change i would change the colour by an expert guy not amatuer

  • i like that BBerry theme!

  • will this work for the bb pearl?

  • Even if it does void the warranty just take the tape off before you bring it in hah.

  • could this void the warranty

  • @Rampersad454 no.

  • @KillerNumberX but if they dont sell blackberrys with those trackballs it would mean you opened it to change it so tht should void warranty, right?

  • are you sure its not curve 8320 ?

  • what blackberry is that ?

  • I did this, and its some ugly grey blue. LOL

    I guess it's better than a greyish white, 8330's only have 1 led :(

  • i have 8330 and it has 2 leds one on left and one on right........unless im wrong somehow

  • is it work for the blackberry curve 8900?? because the 8900 trackball is black...

  • no it wouldnt...but u can find clear trackballs on ebay for like a dollar

  • thanks so much!

  • what color is it if u use black sharpie?

  • um idk maybe black? lol

  • hey what theme is this ? i like it can u please tell me the name of the theme

  • I Love this! It totally worked on my Blackberry Curve 8330. No problems at all.

    What I did through was I painted the sticky side of the tape with pink nail polish, and then put another side of tape over it, sticky side down, making a "sandwich". It works marvelous too and the color wont wear off in a few months like it will with the marker.

    Cheers!

  • you can buy colored trackballs and beauty rings from ebay for 2 bucks

  • have you, and r they anygood and from whom did u purchase them? jw?

  • Yah I don't have any seller names of by heart. But I have purchased a few now for different phones and I've found that they're all the same quality. And if you look hard enough you can find a coloured trackball with the matching beauty ring for like a couple of bucks, shipped to your door.

  • can we do this with the blackberry curve 8330? Please answer back

  • yes

  • how do we do this on the bold??

    and also, is there a way to change the color of the back light to light up the keyboard in different color??

    THANKS

  • Comment removed

  • Hi Awesome vid but looks risky. I am thinking of getting the tour and it has a black trackball....you think I can STILL change the color of the LED so it illuminates the solid black ball? Because I didn't notice the silver ring around the trackball. THANKS!

  • I don't believe so, because with a black trackball no color will show up.

  • no it does show up it's like a dark brownish grey

  • i will warn you guys...when you are taking off the silver ring...BE REALLY CARFUL!!!....if one little prong breaks the ring will fall off all the time!

  • Hi! can you give a link to this theme?

  • Hi, nice tuts. Is this also works with other version? in my case a 8220 pearl flip. And also do you mind sharing your background image? =] . 5 star for this vid

  • Comment removed

  • how did u get that interface for the curve because the curve uses the old blackberry interface or can u change it and if so then how

  • Whats the name of the theme and where did you get it for free ? Please respond 5 stars and subscribe !!

  • ima try this out it looks easy how do i change key board color

  • i didn't thumbs down, someone else did.

    its prob because you asked to change the keyboard color, which I assume you mean the light behind it, which you would really do the same way. However, it is a PITA to try to do, so just leave it how it is.

    If you want to change the whole keyboard, check out my change keyboard vid =D

  • jyyjyyyj

  • You should do it to the keyboard too

  • It's a PITA to do

  • where did u get that exact photo?

  • google, I searched "ferrari f430"

  • this is great , thanks

  • did it ! got my sunset blkberry with tha red trkball ! thx man..

  • does it have to be sharpie

  • no, but sharpie stays the best. watercolor would come right off, and pen wouldn't write on tape. but really any permanent marker will work, it doesn't have to be the Sharpie brand. I just like sharpies because they are reliable and the colors are very true.

  • can some one help me?

    on my camera on my black berry pearl its set to the affect sepia and it doesn't give me the option to even change it to normal if you know how to change it can you help me please!

  • would need more details, sorry for the delayed response

  • hey thats cool can you tell me how you got the theme for your curve like the icons and stuff

  • whered u get that theme

  • man your video quality is f***ing awsome!!! nice vid thanks ^^

  • thanks!

  • does anyone know if this will work for the BlackBerry 8350i for Sprint/Nextel?? I really wanna try but i fear messing up my device if this method wont work. Thanks in advance.

  • is there any way to do this with a bold at all?

  • when popping off the ring for the trackball it is much easier to start from the bottom

    just a tip

  • Believe him, it's true!

  • how easy is it to pull off the tape so i could use another color.

  • on a difficulty level from 1 to 10 where 1 is the easiest, and 10 is the most difficult, I would rate removing the tape at a 2. It is easiest to use tweezers to remove it. It's only scotch tape after all.

  • hey where did u get that awesome ferrari wall paper?

  • i did this and i broke 6/8 prongs on the edge... what should i do?

  • LOL there's only 3 prongs!

  • i was about to do this, but then realized that is a curve and i have a bold. very different i think?

  • yes, quite different!

  • just got 8310 so your vids have been very handy! cheers m8 :-)

  • Just did this and it was very easy and looks incredible

  • you have a good camera , very good, why only high quality it should be hd

  • That is because YouTube has a limit of 1GB for a video.

  • EDIT: from now on my videos will be HD!

    t-mobile

  • Soweet. Thanks fo the vid.

    Go eveek.

  • if i put a lime green color on it, will it be more lighter? or should i color it with a green one?

  • Yes, if you have a lighter color green, then you will get a lighter shade of green when it lights up. Good luck, and please remember to subscribe if you haven't already!

  • so should i color it green?

  • If you do not want a lighter color, then yes, you should color it the regular green! =]

  • what unit is that curve? 8320?

  • yes it is an 8320

  • how did y get the themes on the curve plz help im having alot of trouble

    Nice job on the video!

  • thanks buddy!

  • doesn't that Void your warranty?!

  • um NO. But if you draw right on the LED without using tape then YES.

  • does this work for the flip pearl?

  • I'll be honest I don't know anything about the flip pearl.

  • thank you too!

  • I tried it on the 8330 and it worked.

  • Great videos. I saw this one and gave it a try. It worked amazingly well. But i ended up using painter's tape because i couldnt find any scotch tape :P but it worked just fine.

    Also I liked your theme video. I got the same one now to XD

    Subscribed! Keep up the great videos!

  • thanks!

  • freaking love that pic of the ferrari where did u get it from

  • I googled it from the blackberry browser

  • was it free

  • does it work for da 8330

  • I'm sorry, it does not. Thanks for watching my videos though! Please be sure to check out my other videos and you might find something very useful! Also, Please Subscribe! It means a lot! Thank you!

  • you can also use fabric dye

  • on that note you could also use crushed berries or blood. similarly you can melt colored plastic with a blowtorch or break an inkpen all over a piece of tape. Or you could even get a colored piece of paper wet and let the ink drip onto a piece of scotch tape.

    However, it would probably be easiest to just use the sharpie like I suggested.

  • does it wrk on blackberry 8310

  • yes

  • DO NOT USE Tweezers knifes what so ever for this trust me you will end up scratching your escape button or the blackberry logo button ...try to use your nails if possible and also, if u dont want to perminately sharpie on your LED i suggest coloring a piece of clear tape first and cutting it into a small square and use a tweezer to carefully stick the small piece of take on to your LED..this will give u the freedom of changing color of the trackball if u get tired of it later =] GOOD LUCK!

  • Hi aznlife72,

    Thanks for giving the tip! On retrothought, it is a better idea to use your fingernails if you have them, or a flathead from a glasses kit. Later on I replaced the center piece because it did indeed chip the outside of the silver piece.

    FYI If you watched the whole video you'd see that I use a piece of tape - I did NOT color the LED!

    -KillerNumberX

  • Never Mind LOL

  • Does This Work On A Blackberry 8800?

  • Yeah does anyone know how to do an 8330 curve cause the LED is like underneath the case not right in the middle

  • yes i did on mine just use a smaller piece of tape and lide it over the light...make sure it doesnt interfere with trackball movement...

  • Is it worth it though because when my trackball lights up its really dim. Should I still do it or is it kind of pointless?

  • The led on the 8330 Curve definitely isn't setup like dis one.

  • oooh i'd like to make mine pink

  • oh shit where u get that theme at

  • what car is that? i sent u a message about the theme sry i didnt realize so did evry1 else lol

  • can you put a ringtone for your incoming text messages on the blackberry curve 8310?

  • what theme do u have on ur bb

  • I need to check. I'll definitely post the link when I make the new video.

  • hey i just wanted to thank you because all i wanted was how to change the trackball. anyway some guy that sells the trackballs posted this on ebay.

  • Sweet! Glad I could help!

    That's not me selling trackballs, but please tell the guy thanks for sending me views!

  • Thank you :)

    Please make a video on themes when you get the time!

    Take it easy dude!

  • Hey man, I was just wondering how did you get the blackberry bold icons on the blackberry curve?

  • I added a new theme. I also downloaded the picture from the online browser directly from the phone. I'm planning on making a video showing how to change the theme and get new themes.

    I'm really busy with Finals Week next week, but stay posted!
