If you want to use this just install Tapp from installer or iBrickr. I have attached my .tapp command file here. Unzip it from the attachment and place it in /var/root. Set its permissions to 0755. Also make sure your "working" copy of Ringtones.plist is named Ringtones.plist.OK, and in the same folder.

Then when you open Tapp you'll see this (in Execute mode):



Just tap the line beginning with cp and Ringtones.plist.OK will be copied to Ringtones.plist.

For now this works, but I'll still probably make it into an app (albeit a very simple one). You just have to remember to run it right after syncing.

Great App.... Mine did this the first time I sync'ed, but after I replaced it again, and it is holding. It now has survived multiple syncs and power cycles.

I can get the cRingtone to my phone and see them under 'Settings -> Sounds - Ringtone'. I can play them and such with no issue. But when I go to my contacts and change the ringtone assigned to a contact, the cRingtones does NOT appear in the list.

Another issue is the adding of zeros to the Total Time field. I had a cRingtone come out to 28.6, so I added (2) zeros at the end in my playlist. The cRingtone will NOT play.

I'm still playing with it..

I can set all my ringtones as either the default ringtone or assign it to a contact w/o a problem.

I think the directions state to add the zeros to the end of the time using itunes, not just in the ringtone.plist file.

rkloninski, can you post step by step details of how you got all of yours to work, and your plist perhaps?

Well i just got up to date from this thread from last night... i have to go to work.. but i was thinking.. can someone try adding some fake songs to the end of their .plists and see if it will make the rest of their work... like i hear people saying that 5 out of 10 work but when they add more ringtones more start to work... this is unlikly... mostly a problem with the filing it self.. but just to see if this can be a crappy fix to get the rest of the ringotnes working.. ill get back to work on seeing whats hanging up this ringtone problem when i get off work..

and what do the spoof files actually have to be called, can they be the same as the .m4a only .m4r, like MATSOD.m4a and MATSOD.m4r??? or does it have to be like MATSOD.m4a and MATSODspoof.m4r???

on 1.0.2 just put the mp3 or m4a file in the library/ringtones folder and it works everytime

1) I rename the file to future ringtone to 7 characters (i.e. hellothere.mp3 to hellthr.mp3).
2) drop the file into itunes
3) convert it to aac (hellthr.m4a)
4) record the length
5) make the fake file (hellthr.m4r)
6) copy both to the /var/root/Media/itunes_control/ringtone directory
7) make the following ringtone.plist file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>Ringtones</key>
<dict>
<key>hellthr.m4a</key>
<dict>
<key>GUID</key><string>0000000000000001</string>
<key>Name</key><string>Hello There</string>
<key>Total Time</key><integer>2831</integer>
</dict>
<key>hellthr.m4r</key>
<dict>
<key>GUID</key><string>0000000000000001</string>
<key>Name</key><string>Hello There</string>
<key>Total Time</key><integer>2831</integer>
</dict>

</dict>
</dict>
</plist>

REMEMBER to correct the Total Time.

8) copy the ringtone.plist to /var/root/Media/itunes_control/Itunes directory

9) chmod all ringtones to 755 (not sure if this is needed).

10) reboot

tada..

To make it easy, i have make a zip file containing my ringtone.plist and 4 ringtones. you can get it at http://www.klo-group.com/auction/iphonering.zip .

you should be able to figure out where to put the files by now.

NOTE. if you have f__ked with your phone too much, you need to un-do everything you have done. For example, the /itunes_control directory is NOT a place for your ringtones and plist file if your phone is jailbroken. It seems that putting stuff there only confuses the iphone.

I have a jailbroken 1.1.1 iphone and followed these instructions exactly and i cannot get any of my ringtones to show up for me to select on the iphone. I am using WinSCP to transfer them. Very frustrating

Edit1-Nevermind. I figured it out.

Ok just to see if they show... put one of your .m4a files into the ringtones folder on your phone.. just for a little test... save the ringtone.plist you have know and get the stock one off this site then when you reboot it should show the file but wont play.. at least this is how it is for me.. to get the ringtone to actully play.. is the reason for all this .plist editing spoofing ****...

also.. does anybody know /Library/Ringtones ?? thats where all other ringtones are.. can you just hack somehow through that?

[yossariangt]

Thanks to everyone sharing their files...worked great after a couple of tries and edits...I ended up just copying it

killer guide

[lilaustino]

the stuff in the zip folder works fine, but still only some of my ringtones work. my code is the exact same as yours, so frustrating.

[skierdb526]

i feel ya... i edited his code and put in my ringtones and the same files that have worked work, and the ones that havent, still dont work

[gillbates]

i did everything right... i dont see what i did wrong....

and it shows uup but doesnt play, its like a blank audio or something

[FURBY8704]
