Motorola V551 / V330 / V547 / V555 / V557

I got this phone for christmas and it's not bad at all. The only problem I have now is that I wanna change the skin and I can't. I have tried multiple times changing it from the personalize menu but all it does is turn the screen white and does not change the skin. I do remember that when i used to power my phone off and then on it would say do u want to personalize. Then one day it asked me if i wanted this to be on the start up screen and I picked no. I hope that since i picked no i will never be able to change this again. Did this happen to anyone else?

Also, I kinda understand that the phone does not have a self image capture, but if i am alone and wanna take a pic of mahself, how would I do that?
