The firmware of my VX5200 is programmed to ignore wallpaper and ringtones,
unless they are added to the phone by "Get it Now". There is a way around
this, but

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOU DAMAGING YOUR PHONE BY DOING THIS.

Besides, I don't know if the VX8100 is programmed the same as the VX5200.

But on the VX5200:
Use bitpim to explore the filesystem of the phone and add images one at a
time to the proper folder (one is called "ringtones", the other obviously
has wallpaper images in it) under the "dload" directory. (example:
/dload/ringtones) To add files, RIGHT-click the right side of bitpim,
where the files would be listed and add them one at a time by browsing for
them. Don't use the ringtones or wallpaper tabs of bitpim as that doesn't
work. Create your files manually and then transfer them with bitpim using
the filesystem tab.

After files are transferred, the VX5200 still won't allow you to see them or
use them, because they weren't added with "Get it Now". To fix this:
In the filesystem explorer tab of bitpim, click on the dload directory
(/dload) to see the files (not subdirectories) in the dload directory.
Right-click and DELETE two files named ringtones.dat and images.dat
Then disconnect phone from data cable and power it OFF for about 30 seconds.
When powered back on, the two files you deleted will be re-built
automatically, and the new files (that you added) will be accessible. -Dave
