here is the picture i used.... Attachment 1264

Is there anyway of doing this without using BitPim?

Now that I have 'seem' and MPT working, surely one of those can be used?

i did the same thing using the filesystem feature in bitpim. im just starting to mess around with MPT so i dont know if you can access the filesystem using this software or not and im almost positive you can't use seem editing to change the pic. bitpim is free and fairly easy to use and i think its worth it because the default verizon logo is just really really lame.

make it into something hardcore like a pirate flag.

got everything to work on MPT 4, but after i unlock USB transfers with p2k for some reason i can open media studio in MPT. when i click it nothing happens! im gonna try to reboot and see whats up.

One more for Marks forum.

An excellent url for Razr V3c and V3m.

The 4th paragraph has links to all the following, plus many more. Here are a few: Stock Phone, File formats supported, PC Software, USBSER.SYS info, Seem Edit Process, MPT info, Transflash, Ringers, Graphics, Express Network, BitPim, and PC Bluetooth pages all apply to ALL the V710, E815 and V3C with some minor notes.

Even though V3M is not mentioned, it is refered to in almost all the V3C pages and they say that V3c and V3m are identical, exept V3m allows for mutilmedia.

Have fun.

A number of things that some of you did, that I did not. To me this is any 'iffy' thing, but what works for one ...

1.) Even though my 'seem' showed the USB was locked. I left it since I still firmly believe that MPT unlocks the seems and when you are finished using MPT, it locks them back.

Maybe on this one, if you are going to use something else other than MPT, you might want to unlock the USB just in case and then try it.

2.) I did not intall the DriverTools nor the mptfix like a lot of others.

Now, some did 1 & 2 and their's works fine.

It looks like to me there is going to be a lot of 'trial and error' before we get all the kinks out.

GET 'ER DONE

ok here's what ive figured out... and this may solve most of the problems with media transfer that some of you may be having. before i did the seem edit to unlock USB transfer, MPT could not "communicate" with my phone. which is the message that some of you are getting. not that i edited this seem i can transfer media with no problems at all (therefore i assume that this seem edit is necessary).

also, my media center thing wasnt opening im assuming because it was still running in the background from when i had MPT open previously and had to close it prematurely. i just went into the task manager and ended the process "mmcenter.exe" or some such thing.

now that everything works, i just transfered my first ringtone and it works great!

Thanks to WiLLy2900, I took the 'seems' that he tested - I hope he does not mind - and made a new column in spreadsheet called 'tested' and marked them so.
I also marked those that others have emailed me about as tested and marked those.

I also added a few more from Mark's forum. Be aware that a couple of the offset's conflict with each other and I marked them as so. Also Mark said that NONE of them have been verified, again marked as so.

GET 'ER DONE!

Thats Fine with me

When I go into the test mode menu, after enabling extended engineering menu, I find something called "App Execution Policy". I wonder if it is possible to set the phone to allow unsigned BREW apps? Any thoughts?

I really like your Silver V3m logo when you post.

How did you do it and where can I get one?

I would not mind a different color. The Silver V3m was really my second choice. I was hoping to get the Sky Blue V3m. But after waiting 6 months, (Verizon said the would be getting them in next month, then next month, then next etc...) when Verizon finally said they would not be getting the Sky Blue in, I settled for the Silver.

I even thought about getting the Sky Blue replacement cases. Every where you see Silver, can be replaced with another case, which is only 3 pieces. They say it only takes a #4, #5 and #6 torx screwdriver to change them out.

I used BitPim a couple of years ago for my old Nokia and LG VX6000. Looks like I'll have to go out and get the newest verizon and fire it up.

Thanks

How is that my avatar? I could only find the dark blue V3m and not the sky blue V3m, so ...

Found the brand new V3i GOLD. It's real name if the V3i DG - DG stands for Dolce & Gabbana.

Found a write up on CNET. As of the write up, the only way to get it is through Verizon, but available in Asia ONLY. Can you believe that?

for those wanting some more wallpaper and screensavers. Go to the following website. They have thousands and thousands of wallpapers and screensavers to download.

http://motowalls.com/gallery/

Received a couple of emails about some of the links from marks fourm is not working for wallpaper and screensavers.

Here is an update for howard's forum:

Howard forums has split the wallpapers/screensavers into V3X and the rest of the V3series. The V3X is larger than the other V3's, so get them if you want, and then reduce them down to a smaller size. Also the is a lot more in the V3X section and a lot better quality.

http://wiki.howardforums.com/index.p...tom_Wallpapers

have fun.

I posted this on another forum but I do not how to link to it, so here is a repeat.

Some of you asked for FREE Java App stuff. Here is a site that offers some.

Look on the left side under the banner CELL PHONE STUFF. There is ringtones, screensavers, music, games, wallpapers, JAVA Applications, and more.

http://www.cellphonestalk.com/


If you get tired of me posting all these links, let me know. I just thought you might like to have something else to do.

[WiLLy2900]

I got some pretty good wallpapers from those sites...but i still cant figure out how to work them dang screen savers

What did you do? I am am going to guess that you had to turn the battery-saver OFF. With the battery-saver ON, my phone darkens everything out after 10 seconds and I have to press a button to 'wake' it up.

Whipped up a new Moto wallpaper for fun , But it looks squashed on the outside display.
Should I use a different size? Currently 176 x 220.

I think that is about for the size. What is the pixel settings? 72, 96 or higher?

Not real sure that it will make too much difference, either way.

Cool pic.

Too much idle time with the cad system
Looks like it was set a 200, but that is usually only is important when you're printing images.
