Wife and I have made the leap into a couple of low end, prepaid motorola call phones. We would like to make our own ringtones and wallpaper for them as the stuff I have seen on the internet for purchase is not what we want or they want too much $$ for.

Is there any software to make wallpaper & ringtones for Motorola cells? Specifically the V171 and C139 models.

I see some websites that allow you to upload music and pics and make them for your phones but it's for a fee. If I'm gonna pay, I'd like to pay for the program and do my own.

Anyone have any ideas?

I bought a CD set and data cord off ebay for my i850 for about $12 data cord included. It works great for loading my own stuff and loading free games and apps. Also came with some kick ass XXX walpapers.

I don't know if you can with the 139 but you can get a cord and check out this auction for the 171. Always check feeback ratings when buying this sort of stuff.

Thanks DE. I did get a cable for the C139 and the V171 from ebay for about $7 each shipping included.

I didn't notice the CD sets that you pointed out. I'll have to order one of them now too. Thanks!

Here are some sites worth browsing for free stuff too:
Some are Nextel phone sites but some offer stuff for all motorolas.

To the best of my knowledge these are completely legal websites. If somebody knows otherwise please let me know and I will remove the site from this list. Thanks

Get this, DE - I get the cable and then I realized that the phone case was replaced with a case that covers over the usb port!

Seems that Net10/Tracfone does not want you to be able to upload your own images and tones - they want you to buy from them!

Figured if I replace the case with a 'normal' one, the usb port will be opened up and I can then upload - unless they disabled that in the firmware....

Those bastards !!

Best of luck in your case modification.

As far as Motorola Phone Tools, google is your friend or torrent.

I use p2ktools to change pictures and ringtones myself, it can be found at motomodders.net. If you need help with drivers let me know I can try to help. As far as making your own ringtones, that's fairly easy. you'll need audacity to cut up the songs and lame to reencode them at a bitrate your phone can handle. there's a guide on motomodders.net detailing it

also lok around for a program called Bitpim. its an interface for uploading imagers and tones.
