Free Color Pearl trackball color program for blackberry pearl 8100
Posted on September 22, 2007
Filed Under blackberry, downloads |
New free download of a color pearl app for blackberry pearl 8100. All you need to do is download this program and unzip it to your computer. You then just use Blackberry Desktop manager to add it to your blackberry device. After it is installed go to your options and under ColorPearl. This app will allow you to pick from 7 different colors, random or custom. It also allows you to create your own color by putting in a custom Color HTML code. Pretty sweet, especially for a free app. As I said this should work with Blackberry Pearls and Curves.
Here is a link on how to add 3rd party apps like the color peral program to your blackberry’s! You do need to unzip for extract the files first, they are the same thing just two seperate terms.
How To unzip a file!:
Q5: How Do I Unzip Files?Ans: First, you need to download and install either WinZip or WinRAR archive software. Once installed, the archive software should now be part of your Windows or Macintosh system.You open you a Zip file by double-clicking it.Commonly, one of two prompts will then appear:
- “Unzip or install from an existing Zip file” in the WinZip Wizard. This Wizard will then walk you through the steps to unzip-extract the files.
- “Extract files to…” in the WinRAR Wizard. Just like WinZip software, you will be prompted for the next steps. Give it several moments to do its job, and your files are now decompressed as separate complete files. You now use those files like you would any other files. If you want, you may also delete the Zip original file to now save space.

Maybe i’m retarded, but on my pearl, it says ColorPearl only works on the blackberry 8100/pearl. i thought this was supposed to work on the 8130 too??? am i doing something wrong? thanks!
Thank you so much. its not what i expected, but i love it.
it will only work on the pearl… none of the curves have the color led’s behind the ball. i had it for the pearl and it worked great, but just recently upgraded to the red 8310 and there is no way there will ever be one for a curve.
thanks for the free application..I’m loving the multi color pearl.. It add personality to the 8100. Peace..
Thank you so much!!!
I LOVE MY PEARL
how do you put the program on your phone..i need help..step by step instructions plz…appreciated
I think I may be too stupid to do this. This is going to sound dumb but what does “unzip” it to your computer mean? How do I do this? Once I figure this out I know it will be absolutely awsome!
Thank you much appreciated!!!!
Hello. I cant seem to put this on my Blackberry. What do I have to do?
hi i downloaded ColorPearl also and dont no how to get it on my bb can anyone help and thanks
I can’t figure out how to use the Blackberry Device Manager to download the program to my blackberry pearl. Can anyone tell me how to do that?
can u please show me how 2 unzip the software to my computer??? becos this zip this is not working for me.
Teddy use Winrar
can u please explain more about it. I cant do if from my computer.
sweet!!
sweet
This application only works with the 8100 pearl an does not work with the 8130 with Verizon.
Help please…Downloaded this to my Vista Desktop and unzipped it like it said. I then tried to load it through the Desktop manager…then I get this silly message that says ” No additional applications designed for your device found”
I dont get it. When I search the blackberry troubleshooter. It says that this message means that this software is not made for my device.
I appreciate any responses. thank you.
The reason that the curve can’t have different colors like the pearl is because the curves keyboard lighting doesnt have the different color l.e.d’s like the pearl does. It only has the one white led behind the trackball. It’s not a matter of software but a matter of hardware.
i hear that if u use the trackball color changing programs for the pearl, it changes the status light at the upper right for the curve and the 8800 series. does anyone know anything about this and if u do let me know
for people having trouble putting this feature onto the pearl i managed to fiddle around and do it.
1. unzip the file to your computer once winzip or winrar has opened the files select all, right click and extract the files to your computer. (i put it on my desktop so that it was easy to find after)
2. open your device manager and click on application loader. it it says that that there are no applications to upload, click on add and find the file on your computer, add it and then click next and it’ll upload to your phone.. done and done
Its koo I like it lots
Thanks so much for this app. download.

How do you change the color after you download the app?
To change the Color you go into the settings of the blackberry pearl. It is located under the settings.

i downloaded colorpearl, which then showed up in .ax form and .cod form through winzip. everyone keeps saying that you have to unzip the files but its unclear to me how u do it. Is it the same as extracting a file? please help and i need the next steps after i unzip them. thankz
@Kyle,
You said you made ColorPearl work on an 8130 using info you got on my blog. That’s news to me–I couldn’t get it to work on my 8130. It reported “only works on the 8100.”
But everyone, please come check out my blog anyway. There’s plenty of other useful info there.

For those of you who don’t know how to install apps on your Pearl, I have a post that might be helpful. Go to http://blackberry8130.wordpress.com and read the post named “Installing Applications.”
How do I download it to my phone I have a 8100 but it says media not supported: application/unzip or sumthin like that
I initially downloaded the Trial Version found in the BB Lounge. That was before I discovered this site.
I suppose I have to uninstall the Trial Version from my BB first before re-installing this one?
Ooppss.. please disregard the first question. I was impatient and at the same time excited to get the colors on my pearl that I’ve decided to uninstall the Trial Version.
I’ve successfully installed the new one but the some colors are not as vivid. Is there a way to improve on this?
is this possable to do if you dont have the internet opintion on your phone..?
i know a few people who dont have the internet but are still able to get this to work..im just having problems..
help?
Oh, and the theme works for all 8100-series Pearls, not just the 8130. Again, see http://blackberry8130.wordpress.com/2008/02/10/iphone-versus-bphone-a-theme/.
I need help downloading the program. Can someone give me step by step instructions. I download it but after that I don’t understand what to do next! Help! Please!

I have an alltel blackberry pearl 8130 and i downloaded the file then unzipped it and tried to add it on my application loader but it wont load because it says no additional programs were found for my device, how do i get this to work?
can some one PLEASE help me out, Im havin trouble putting this on my phone. When i try to do it it says there are no application found for this phone. HELPP!
HELP HELP HELP!!!
today if at all possible.
Color pearl will not work on the curve!!! Ok to unzip the folder,double click on the folder and to the left you should see unzip folder. I did it to the desktop so it would be easyer to find when loading. To put the color pearl on your phone you must have the software (desktop manager) for you black berry pearl otherwise you will not be able to do this. Then you open your desktop manager and go to Application loader, Then it will start loading then you will see and add button. Click the add button it will ask you what to add and go to color pearl and it will do it. This will restart your phone. When you phone has restarted go to your menu and go to options. You will then see color pearl go to that and when you do choose a color hit the menu button again and save it so it will show.
omgggg..
i love thisssss
it looks so pretyyy.
thanksss alot.
A little confusing @ first but worth the confusion. gives the pearl personality. don’t know if everyone else had to but for the 8100 i had to load BB software to my pc then download the color track ball zip file then with the USB cable send it to my phone.
Its not going to work on any other blackberry models other than the 8100 Pearl because none of the other models have Color LED’s underneath the trackball. This feature is only on the 8100 Pearl.
does the colorball work on the 8130 Pearl>?? i dont want to download until im sure
thnx guys soo it works amazingly with my pearl keep it up
No the ball doesn’t light up on the Curve 8310, which is a bummer, but it does change the color on the notification light at the top of the phone ,,which still can be pretty sweet!!!!!!
Be Blessed one and all!!!!
How do you unzip them?
I can’t figure out how to do this.
I have a Blackberry Pearl. And I don’t understand how to put it on the phone.

Only works on the 8100 pearl, not the 8110
my advice to everyone is to go to youtube and look up “free color pearl tutorial” and for the people that don’t know how to download colorpearl.. all you have to do is go to google and type in “colorpearl” and there will be a downloading program.. after you download the program go watch the video on youtube and follow the instructions and wabaam! You will have a colored trackball..hehe i hope my advice helps

Great idea..Any chance it will ever work on the pearl 8110?

Thank you for the ColorPearl download. I had no problems downloading it on my Blackberry Pearl. Love the added effects!
i luv thisssssssssssssssss, its awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 it totally rocks!!!!!!!
how do i change the custom color of the ball. I’ve been trying to put in HTML codes but its not really working
this shit doesnt work, where do you put the file after you unzip it?
after you unzip it, you conntect your blackberry to your computer with the usb cable. Open Blackberry Manager and load the application with the software onto your blackberry.
Do you have to have the internet on your service plan (phone) to be able to load the colorpearl app?
Is there a way you can put this program in your SD card cause I’m having some troubles with my desktop manager.
what does the unzip mean??
[...] is my first post of a video from my Blackberry Pearl 8120. A little disply of our Free Color Pearl Download page which is great and gets over 400 views a day, which I love! Check out the video which I posted on [...]
to put it on your phone you need the desktop manager for your computer to your bb. (should have come with your purchase of the phone) just click load application and choose the .alx file and it will work. connect through usb
I tried doing it through that and it keeps telling me that I need the Blackberry Device Software or something.
omg i cant download this lol im retarded
can i use the color pearl trac ball on a 8110 pearl
That is extremely gay that the color trackball doesn’t work for the pearl 8110 =(
how do you make a custom color
Didnt even know I could do this till I found this site. Neat little feature. tyvm
OMG i love this!
As for color codes, there is a universal code. Really, you can go to something like photoshop and scrolll to the color shade you like, than a code should pop up somewhere which also lets you type in a specific code for those who already knows the exact shade of the color they like. Paint shops also have lists of codes for different shades of color. Try searching google for color code? :p
OMG this new stuff 4 that pearl its so kool i luve my fon now!!! thank ya’ll !!! PEACE
How annoying!!! I have the 8110 too….exactly the same as the 8100….same trac ball but oh no…it doesn’t work!! how come???? will someboday pls make it for the 8110
