How can I get PNG Images from my pc to my DX?

I have used AndroZip to download zip files of icons on my phone but BetterCut will not let me access them where they are and I can't move them with ASTRO, but I can view them in ASTRO.

The same files I downloaded on my pc, then move them to my DX But can't view them.

Any help, on how to access the icons already on my phone w/ BetterCut and how to be able to send PNG Images(icons/wallpapers) from my pc to DX AND be able to view them, would be appreciated.
 
I just had the same issue yesterday. What I finally did to view the icons was plug my phone into my computer and drag the icon file into my dcim folder on my SD card which will save the icons in your gallery. Then u won't need better cut, when u go to choose your icon just click on custom icon and it will give u an option to access your gallery and choose your icon. I use lpp.

I believe that only works for the icons in the dock, not the shortcut icons.

with lpp it works for both home and dock icons ......now you are correct though because for shortcut icons you do need better cut but just for the dock you dont unless you want to change the dock shortcut also and not just the icon

How do I get it in mass storage mode? I searched through the settings but couldn't find it. It asked me once last night which mode when I connected to the pc but never before and not since. Thanks for your help

Pull down the notification bar (top bar with battery icon, time, etc.) and click on usb connection. A screen should pop up with options to change your connection type. As previously stated pick mass storage mode and just put all the icons you want into a folder and place them on your sd card.

Oh and if you haven't used mass storage or pc mode before make sure you safely remove hardware as to not damage any data on your sd card.

I prefer to put all images of a specific type in a folder so when you go to add them they are easier to access.
I created folders for icons, docks, and wallpapers. Oh and your post was about 30 minutes late lol, I didn't safely remove my phone but nothing seems to be damaged. It did take forever to load the first time after I disconnected it.
