Anybody want to post what they do to their Sliders to customize them??

I find using pics that are 208x208 fits best, trying to find the right size to use .gifs as screensavers, i always get the error message that the file is too large..

The largest image file I have is jpg 145kb. You can make image files smaller by converting them to jpg, or resizing them easily using paint.
Any photo taken with the phone, any quality/size will work as wallpaper, but only the smallest size will work in the screensaver slideshow
My wallpapers sizes range from 192x192 to 479x349.
I get alot of them from www. zedge.no, they have many different ways of sending or dowloading to your phone. It doesn't matter if your phone is not listed, I use Samsung or Motorola. You'll just have to pick a phone and see if the image size fits the way you want. They also have vids for download.

I have a 1g trans flash I got at radioshack for $35 (on sale). It has 175 (938 mb) songs on it. Mostly mp3, some wma. As long as the file name isn't over 30 or 35 characters, and the (wma)file isn't copyright protected it should play. I can't seem to figure out the tags in the player, doesn't matter. I haven't had any problems with large mp3 files. I use a usb card reader (Wal-mart/$10) to transfer all files.

I also bought a mini adapter from radioshack ($3) so I can use any headphones and I can plug it in to any mp3 player jack, home stereo or car stereo. Winamp and WMP don't recognize it as a portable. The Kyocera headphones($20) have a media player control, sound good, and can be used to talk.

Custom mp3 ringtones/voicetones I made with Nero Wave Editor. 30 second clips work best. I had a couple longer rintones up to 1.5 min/2.85 mb, but they take up alot of the 15mb phone memory. The largest ringtone I have been able to send to friends has been 201kb, I'm not sure what the max is but 254kb is too big. Maybe 225kb?

All voice features set up. Takes a minute but is kind of cool.

My Phone is Cricket and I have mobile web, I am using the google trick (surfing through www.google.com on my phone) to get around the blocks, works fine. I can surf around better than before; Myspace, Craigslist, IMDB, most websites work. I weaseled my spc code out of a Cricket employee to download free Brew (Cricket Clicks) which I found out about by searching the forum.

I use South Park character renditions of my friends as caller id's. Using this site to create them. www.sp-studio.de
In paint, change: image-attributes-380x380. Don't use paint to convert to jpg, it will change the color. Use another program to convert from bmp to jpg. The new m&m characters are cool too, have a few of them.www.Becomeanmm.com

Hopefully this will give you some ideas and help customizing your phone without a data cable and software. Have fun.

I have Alltel with my KX5. I used KPST to unlock the 2 games (not that they're really worth it, especially the brick attack, but I did it because I could). I haven't learned how to get any Brew 2.0 games for free -- I've always heard that nobody's cracked Brew 2.0.

I increased the video record time from 15 secs to 255 secs, its max.

I haven't changed the faceplate yet, but I do know how to. We also have KX16s for the rest of the family and have changed faceplates for all of them.

I don't know how to do any Internet stuff yet -- I've heard terms like free WAP used, but don't really know what that means. I'm not signed up for internet services thru Alltel or anything. If there is some brief primer someone could give on possibilities for free web surfing on the KX5, I'd like to read it.

I have the 1 gb microSD card for the music player. Unlike some of the other wireless providers, Alltel's KX5 does not allow you to create playlists. You basically have one long list of your songs and have to wear your thumb out locating a particular song if it's in the middle of the list. If anyone has figured out how to get an Alltel KX5 to have the playlist feature, please post.

Do you have Alltel, or are you using some other service?

Posted by: jauger

got a saver that your phone wont allow you to use? use QPST, connect to phone, open EFS Explorer, give it a min to read phone files, then browse to brew/media/screensaver...right click and select new/file...pop-up box will ask what and where file is that you want to add, ( .gif only!), dont mess with any of the file attributes as i havent messed with these yet and dont know how they affect the phone, hit ok, reboot your phone and your saver should work...

P.S the file i tested this with was 74kb and 208x208...be careful going over this size..not sure how big it can go yet...
