How to add wallpapers to your phone.

Ok, first and foremost, I will have to say that the easiest way to add wallpapers to your phone is to have a MicroSD card for your phone.  To add pictures via the MicroSD card do the following(there are probably different ways to do this but this is the way I do it)

1. Find the image you want on your computer.  
2. Plug your card into your computer.
3. Open your MicroSD folders, You should have a My_Pix folder, open it.
4. Drag and Drop the image you want in the folder.
5. Plug the MicroSD card back into the phone and your picture will be there.


--------------------------------------------------------------------

If you don't have a microSD card you can also add wallpapers to your phone through a program called BitPim.


1. Download the latest version of BitPim (http://www.bitpim.org/)
2. once that is installed on your computer. Open BitPim and your screen should look similar to this.


You may not be able to see the tab that says filesystem so to fix this simply go to VIEW and then View Filesystem and that should take care of that.

3. If BitPim doesn't detect your phone automatically, go to to the top and go to edit-settings and where it says Phone Type and then you have the scroll down list.  Choose the Touch, Dare, or Voyager settings.


Press Ok after you are done using the dare settings. and now you will be able to see a folder. that opens your filesystem. click the arrow by the folder to open it. *it will probably take a few seconds to open*



The you are going to scroll down to BREW-MOD-1088

Now you should be able to see all your pictures, From here just drag and drop and jpg image and then it will show on your phone.  

Hope this helps.

Are there really people out there with this phone and no memory card?  That's hard to believe.  A memory card is mandatory if you want to take full advantage of the phone's features.  How can you store DVD movies, videos, music, documents and pics with a measly 250 MB of internal memory.  With a memory card, you can use the phone in the USB Mass Storage mode and it shows up as an additional drive in "My Computer".  Then, all you do is drag and drop or copy and paste pics, music, documents, sounds, etc. to the appropriate folder.  
Also, most MicroSD cards come with an SD memory card adapter.  Using that, you just pop it in any standard memory card reader on your computer and do the same.  Anyway, here are a few good websites that have free 800 x 480 and 480 x 800 (for the internal LCD) wallpaper for the Touch.

I was getting that for awhile, mine was a simple solution of just making sure that i dropped the "sync music" connection, then it registered the usb com port driver's with bitpim and i then was able to succesfully use bitpim

BitPim is now available for the touch   http://www.env-touch.com/index.php?topic=577.0 Try that and see if that will solve your problem.

is there not a my_pix folder?

I have just bought a 4GB memory card for my Touch and when I plug it into the computer, there is not anything having to do with media.  I have formatted the card in the phone, but still no folders for My_Pix.  Any suggestions?  Can I make my own folder and name it appropriately?

It also gave me some errors when I tried to move my music from the phone to the card.  Any help would be great.

Can you add wallpapers to the Micro SD Card without putting the card into the computer?

I don't have an adapter for my microsd to fit in the port, so if I leave it in the phone, and connect the phone can I still access the card to drag and drop ringtones and wallpapers?

Awesome. Will it still show up the same way?
