I have one ringtone that plays in settings>sounds, but it does not when selecting a custom ringtone. I also have one that plays in both but get reverted to default when the caller calls.

I have tried this so far and have acheived three of my eight, that wouldnt play.

I deleted all files from iTunes, renamed my original .m4a . I reimported it into iTunes, and I converted it again. Sometimes this would append a number, sometimes it would not...

Either way I copied that file into my ringtone folder, renamed whatever spoof was in there the same name. I just copied and paste. Minus the a for an r.

Then I changed the .plist with the same paste routine. And the name of the ringtone.

This fixed three. But I still have 5 more that are dumbfounding me...

do u think this will work?.....

On a jailbroken iphone, with insaller app and send song on it

With those apps on ur iPhone add a playlist with ringtones in it(ringtones need correct extension)

Since every song shows up in sendsong, find the song that u want to use as a ringtone (the with the special extension) and click send to ringtones, will this work for 1.1.1?

havnt had a chance to try it but if someone could try it i would appreciate it
let me no if it works

yeah maybe just use ibrikr? that's what i use, along with itunes to listen to the song mptrim to cut songs down to 30 seconds, and save as, then bring them in thru ibrikr... just easier that way i think...

I am having a problem with playing the ringtone. The ringtone shows in the list but no sound. Phone is jailbreaked

-I converted the song to AAC using Itunes
-I created a blank text document and named it spoof.m4r
-The song I converted is 7 characters long with m4a extension
-I transfered the m4a and m4r file in /var/root/media/iTunes_Control/Ringtones
-I replace the ringtones.plist in /var/root/media/iTunes_Control/iTunes with the one I made.

Am I missing anything else?

Thanks alot babybia, but can I use iPhone browser?

I have had the same problem as Rethink
and I did everything right
what's the problem?

[lilaustino]

probably means nothing at all, but when i took one of apple's ringtones already on the phone, and checked out its information in itunes, it said it had been converted with itunes 6.0.5 and quicktime 7.1.2. Do anyone think it is possible to revert back to the old version and see if converting things that way works?

[skierdb526]

only way to know is to give it a try!

alot of praying... but i would try adding more and at least get one to work so you dont have to have the old horn as a ringtone....

[lilaustino]

well i downloaded the old version, but installing it means screwing up my itunes library (no thanks). If anyone for some reason has a computer without itunes on it and want to give it a try, here is a link to the file. http://filehippo.com/download_itunes/?1249

try out this guys program...

http://www.modmyi.com/forums/showthr...6444#post66444

it renames, creates a spoof file, and makes the plist for you... great program, I'm still having the same hang ups though, so I'm thinking it's a file problem, I'll try starting a fresh edit of an mp3 but not till later... till then I'll just deal with what I have...

[slayorktc]

it says m4v? not m4r or m4a? what format is this?

I tried his program with a fresh file and everything. I get the same thing as when I was trying it manually. File shows up in the list but no sound.

How the heck does this seem to work for some folks and not others?!?

At first I could not get the second to work, then I added the third, and it still didn't work, then idk what happened and now my 2nd on works, and my 3rd does not....

[Hurley]

I had about 20 ringtones... I pouit them all on prior to trying out this program. there were a few that didnt work.... when I tried this program there were some that did work when I did it, and didn't with this program. also there were ones that worked with the program, that I couldnt get to work.


I did a mash up of the two and now I only have 2 more that aren't working... thats a plus I guess...

[rklosinski]

I think the safest way to name files is used the apple convention.... 4 characters long, all upper case, and all letters.

I had a ringtone that would not play, names 3hellos. I renamed it to hellos, corrected the plist, and it now plays.

Has anyone fixed the ringtone.plist file being overwritten during sync'ing?
