Yes, it's been awhile... again... BUT! We're back with Great News and Better Themes.

All of us here at Built By Request have been quite busy. So busy in fact, we've had to actually take everything and place it on the back burner. Last update we saw Ignite being released. Then all of a sudden, AlucardFair came in, posted it for more devices and we didn't officially update. Not saying it was all bad, Ignite was a HAWT Theme! and everyone proved it to be so with over 16,000 downloads in one day! (Yeah, I even had to get in on that one).

With More news coming, I saw some screens of themes everyone has been working on. These are some amazing themes. Unfortunately, the one I really want is being pushed back from this release...

*sigh*

But, before we continue onto our theme releasing. Lets take a look at one of our newest Testers. Yes, we got another one and he's been really giving us a hand. From ideas, feedback and resting. Yes, resting. He's quite well known in the Theme Development Community. With great insight of how themes should look, feel and function, we're glad to welcome him aboard to Built By Request and the Full BBR Family!

BigDogBo. That. Is. All.
Well, actually its not! Bo is our newest tester. Giving us a great hand with Themes for the Storm 2 (9550). We all have welcomed the Big Dog with open arms (yes we love our family) and are very fortunate to have him work with us. Besides, waht theme junkie would say no?! Free themes just for being apart of our family (putting up with some of our insanity) and giving into Device Torture. and Now from me, Live on the Net, Welcome to Built By Request Bo! Glad to have ya.

Read what BigDogBo is all about in HERE.

Now onto the themes... Can they really be all that good? Correctly answered. Yes, yes they are. That being said, we've all slowed down, going from quantity releases to quality releases. Can Built By Request get any better? Again, yes they have and are continuing to only bring quality out to all of the BBR Users. With so many Upcoming Theme Developers, everyone has decided to not only get better, but become more focused (Hence why themes are being pushed back).

AlucardFair knows there is no love for Storm Users (at least not as much as other devices). Well, with thanks to BigDogBo,he's giving Storm Users a Theme of their own! I introduce to you, BANdroid: A Real Android Experience. An Android Based Theme gives you Animated Today Screens, Sliding in from the left will give you Your messages and in from the right will give you your calendar. Quick Menu Access sets you up with 6 Static Icons for your Alarm, BBM, Browser, Calendar, Messages and Music. User Selected Dock, Fonts and wallpaper friendly. A Search Bar displays Owner name, weather slot (1st), date, Functional Search and Voicenotes Recorder Icons. Well, stop reading about it already and grab yourself a copy. Respectively Priced at just $1.99!

Also, based on a request (how he got one is amazing), but Alu has released Purple for the 81xx. Giving all the Stock Icons a Color Rendering and giving the homescreen a hideable dock. Make sure that if you love purple and have a Pearl 81xx, pick up Purple HERE.

SunShine has been rocking the theme request and has fulfilled quite a bit of them. Lets take a look at what she's got for us today.

Heartagram - A Theme for all of the HIM or Bam Margera Fans. This theme is great on colors and a custom icon set. Make sure that if your a fan of HIM, Bam Margera or a just a Theme Junkie, grab Heartagram for the 83xx now!

Hearts (Black and Hot Pink) is a request for the 89xx (OS 5.0). Using Walls that the User wanted. SunShine made this theme a blast! With a Double Banner and a Dock of Mini Icons that can be hidden with Key Presses, you can't beat the creativity and layout of this great theme. Pick it up for the 89xx (OS 5.0) or one of the ported versions for the 96xx (OS 4.7.1), 96xx (OS 5.0) or the 9700.

Horses another request was fulfilled for the 83xx with this great animated theme. With Automatic changing wallpapers, you'll never get tired of this theme with the wallpapers changing about every 10 seconds.

P90X is a great request that is fulfilled for the 96xx. With Silver and Black Colors and a clean and crisp display, you almost wanna pick it up and start exercising, the P90X way! Make sure to grab this theme for the 96xx (OS 4.7.1), 96xx (OS 5.0) or the 9700.

Yellow World: an Urban Look and Graffiti Styled walls, this is for the urbanists. This request was fulfilled for the 96xx and successfully ported for the 9700. If you love the urban culture and lots of yellow, pick this one up now. 96xx (OS 4.7.1), 96xx (OS 5.0) or the 9700.

It's been awhile since we updated fully and this one is a win for us all. We released great themes and even had a chance to pick up a great tester. That's it for now, enjoy the themes and even post your feedback here.

Ciao

We've posted several great themes today and they're all requests! AlucardFair, Kratos101, GR4FF1T1 & SunShine have been working like crazy this month to get a lot of the requests done. So sit back and relax, we've got a lot to cover for this update (go ahead and grab something to drink before you continue, lol)

We'll first star off with our staff updates and disappointments. We've sadly lost Ducky and I'm sure our regulars have noticed his themes have gone missing. We hope for his return, but don't hold your breath(or count chickens). But on great news, we have gained a new tester (and posssibly soon developer), Kev! He's really been helping out with the 95xx Themes (none released this time around) and is getting all of the devs motivated and ready for more. He's also been helping out with testing for the 83xx Series also, so we've gained a great asset to the staff!

Now on to our releases. Just like we did for SunShine when she came on, We'll give you a list and a page link to ease the strain of seeking out each theme.

AlucardFair has released a great deal of request (cause that's all we're releasing today)!

With all these great themes released today and still more to come. We have more announcements, some may be a disappointment, but hopefully not too much.

AlucardFair does have some 95xx themes in the works(yes they are requests). He's not sure when exactly they will be released, he's been working with Kev to get them close to perfect. I've even heard of another iClone theme(specifically for the 95xx/OS 5.0) that is a User-Interactive Theme that has a Sliding Wallpaper Feature and a Sliding Screen of Icons(16 on each page)! Lets try to convince him to release it as Beta for all of us, cause I really wanna see it in action! (Leave your comments and beg if you Have to)

Now the bad news is that, AlucardFair is not ready to come back to taking request.... He's working on a major project for a website(he won't say). But says in about 2 weeks there will be a big celebration! I'm actually curious on what it is, cause we all usually know what he's up to.

That's it for now,
Ciao
(& don't forget to beg for the iClone theme, lol

Okay, so most of you already know that Kratos101 was out. He has returned. You also know that we were in the process of bringing in a new Developer. Well, she has arrived.

Ducky has released Harley Davidson for the 8350i.

GR4FF1T1 has released Abstract for the 8350i. Also he has released Green Tribal and Heroic Age for the 83xx.

SunShine has released a monstrocity of themes for the 83xx. So instead of linking every theme to a page, I'm gonna Give you links for each page.
Basic 1

AlucardFair is taking a small break to finish up some requests and start more side projects (but has assured us, he will be coming back to taking requests).

With all this coming out and still alot in testing, we're hoping to release very soon with more to fit your personality.

Ciao

Hey everyone, AlucardFair here. We hasd some clean up today on the site. We needed to remove lots of dead pages and removed some not so hot pages.

Also, there was an inconvenience for the 82xx Users who wanted the Neon Skulls theme. For some odd reason, our OTA link was incorrect. All is well and fixed.

We also added some sites to our "Friends of Mine" page. Make sure to take a look and visit them if you haven't already been.

Also! We've updated our newest Testers Profile, Garry. Head over to the "Thanks to the Testers" Page and take a look.
Thanks for everyone's support!

That's right, 2 days ago we released nicely. Well, today we're bringing out 4 more themes to you the users. Even a small release like this, you have some great themes and GR4FF1T1 delivered.

First AlucardFair fulfilled some requests for the 83xx. With one being basic and the other being user-interactive. The basic theme is Tennessee Titans and the user-interactive theme is Skulls.

GR4FF1T1 released DragonBall GT for the 83xx and has also released his first User-Interactive theme, Beck. So he definitely went out on a limb to learn that trick and was able to land on his feet!

That's it, short, simple and awesome to see such a leap from GR4FF1T1 to step in the realms of UI-Themes.

So we've all been waiting to find out what the crew here at Built By Request has been doing. Well now is the time to share the Love and that's all you need. RIM gave us the free download of "All You Need Is Love" by the Beatles and this release we're gonna give you some Love of our own.
 
AlucardFair really went to a new level with his theme building, Introducing us to "Stage Light" Icons in his arsenal of themes. With the ability to even hide the icons on select models. We're bringing out "Beatles" User-Interactive for the 83xx, 8350i, 85xx, 87xx, 88xx, 89xx, 9000, 9630 and 9700. AlucardFair even released, "All You Need Is Love" Ringtones in 3 different parts.

AlucardFair has released, along with the "Beatles", some great requests that got fulfilled. For the 83xx: Baby Phat (UI), Converse (UI), Indianpolis Colts (UI), Joker 2.0 (UI), Philidelphia Eagles (UI) and Vampire Hunter D (UI). Just for fun he built Monster (HER) for the 83xx.

Kratos101 is still out, but did let us know, he's still creating themes while not taking requests. Unfortunately, he was unable to submit his themes for this release. But we're looking to get them soon.

Ducky has fulfilled a request and created Ed Hardy (Pink) for the 83xx.

GR4FF1T1 has graced us again with another of his anime themes. I was surprised to see it, as I haven't seen this show in years and he did a great job putting it together. He has released DragonBall for the 83xx.

That's all for now. I've seen more themes going into testing, so hopefully we'll get more out soon! As we carry on today, remember all you need is love(and a good theme).

Well, we're back with another release! Got some great themes coming your way for 3 different models. Got some bad news too, but its got a great ending.

AlucardFair has released has released some great request for the 83xx. BeBe(UI), Tx Longhorns(HER)(UI), TinkerBell(UI), GStars(UI) and Dharma(B). Also Requested was Peace for the 96xx, which was successfully ported for OS 4.7.1 and 5.0 and the 9700. AlucardFair has also released Jackass and a Pink Version for HER on the 83xx.

Kratos101 has Ported over the request for his ICP theme from the 83xx to the 8350i. For the 83xx Kratos101 has released Planets-Today and South Park.

Ducky has released 5 great themes for the 89xx. Dale Earnhardt JR, Dale Earnhardt SR, Eva Mendes, Final Fantasy VII and Lord of the Rings. He has also ported over the USMC from the 83xx to the 88xx for a request.

GR4FF1T1 has released an awesome DragonBall Z theme for the 83xx.

Now on to the "BAD" News... Kratos101 is stopping the requests... For Now. He will be taking requests again, but for now, make all your requests through Ducky. So that's not too bad, but is a bummer we may not see too many Kratos101 Themes for awhile... But we'll gladly wait for his return!

Let us know how you think we're doing, leave us a comment, that's all we really ask for is feedback from our users.

Well, AlucardFair said he would get more out this week and he's coming through for all of us BlackBerry Users! 15 themes came out of testing today and some of them are fulfilled requests.

AlucardFair has released another BlackBerry Conversion Series for the 83xx. This one is based off of the 9500(Storm) and respectively title, "9500". The request for a Louis Vuitton User-Interactive theme for the 83xx has also been fulfilled. Request fulfilled for the 89xx series, Ferrari User-Interactive has been released. And YET another theme request has been fulfilled, Thundercats was built for the 8350i and sucessfully ported over for the 85xx. Awesome Release!

Ducky has released Angelina Jolie, Blue Angels, Tuner, USMC and Washington Redskins for the 83xx. He's currently working on a great series for the 89xx and I can't wait for them to release.

GR4FF1T1 has been on top of his game and released a great selection of 5 more anime themes for the 83xx. Elfen Lied, Fate Stay Night, Fullmetal Alchemist, Initial D and Inuyasha! Man are those some saweet themes! (I even Heard a word of ports coming out soon, keep the fingers crossed!)

That's it for now, a great second release this week. Man can I hope for another one this week. I sure can and I hope we get to see some more. I know AlucardFair has more themes in the works from requests. You guys are keeping him BUSY! That's great we are getting such a great response for the efforts of Built By Request.

CIAO!
