Wow - great feedback, thanks.

You are using a LG-VX3200 phone from Verizon, correct? This is also what
you have selected in BitPim settings? I have heard indirectly that the
LG3200 from Telus is actually different and does not work with BitPim.

BitPim 7.34 works as advertised for my LG-VX3200 - I know I just tested
it. This Verizon phone is fairly crippled and that was why BitPim is doing
much of what it is doing with this phone (read the Help Notes and Howtos
for this phone).

Wallpapers (wallpaper.bit, poweron.bit and poweroff.bit) are fixed files
in /download. They are 565 formatted LG proprietary files. There is no
/brew/shared folder on my phone and creating one does nothing. The only
other BitPim accessible location to drop image files is /sms where you can
put mediapic###.dat files. The problem with these is that they are limited
to 64 colors and reduced size. A poor choice for wallpapers.

Ringers are in /user/sound/ringer. I can upload/download midi and mp3
files using PitPim just fine.

Post some error logs related to trying to read wallpapers. Perhaps I can
get to the bottom of this.
