Custom MP3 ringtones

[Lene']

Hey Im trying right now to make some mp3 clips from songs I have to use as ringtones. does anyone know what "kbits , HZ and ,mono or stereo" attributes work well on the v3? Im working with "Total recorder" which allows me to save them to my specs.
Thnks!

[trexflyer]

22100 Hz, 96kbs, mono is more than good enough. Of course I over-do everything and make mine 44000hz 128kbs stereo :shoot:

[JedixJarf]

i must confess i have a couple 192kbs tones on my phone..

[trexflyer]

Me too. Thats what I rip all my mp3 to. It might just be me, but even on the phone, I CAN tell a difference between 96kb and 128/192kb encoding.

[JedixJarf]

definately

Im having trouble figuring how to get the mp3s into my V3 as a ringtone. Searched, but cant find any info. Anybody know of a guide?

[JedixJarf]

U can use P2kMan (http://www.modmymoto.com/forums/downloads.php?do=file&id=792) to upload under /a/mobile/audio/

[Lene']

Hmmmm. Using p2kman Im trying to upload a mp3 song clip and the bottom reading says "generic failure"!

[JedixJarf]

hmmm try using P2k Tools (http://www.modmymoto.com/forums/downloads.php?do=file&id=329)

Im sorry but, the help menu in pktools is empty.Im not a savvy modder. I cant find any posts related to this subject.Could I bother someone for some direction? Thanks.

In p2ktools, once connected (green light) hit "Refresh" then it should read the phone. Now you can browse thru the filesystem in p2ktools.

I decided to follow a tutorial I found using P2k commander. But I ran into another problem.After flashing, I have no a/mobile/audio folder.So, Im in there frustrated, trying to figure out how to create it.i keep getting a "Volume fail" error.

[apristel]

Lene, do you have mobilephone tools (MPT) on your computer?

[Lene']

Forgive me? I finally got the directory to drop down!

[apristel]

Cool. Let us know if you get stuck.

[Lene']

GAWD! I cant figure this process out. I am not familiar with these programs. I Keep getting "USB:IO time-out!, CMD:Data write fail, AND volume size fail! I made mp3s at 56 kbits 24000 hz stereo and under 192 kb. Yet I get these errors....Im about to pull my hair out!

[apristel]

Lene, what program are you using? The easiest way, (no ringtone details problems, no deleting the .db file) is to use MPT. Its available on the internet but you'll have to google for it, or buy it. Once you get it installed, you'll need to keep running the live update feature until it says there are no more updates. Then you can use the file transfer studio and send your tones. MPT will make the folder on the phone for you. Sometimes thats what it takes.

[Lene']

No. No MPT. Wish I just had one I could understand without constantly posting. Im sorry.

[Lene']

Okay, I'll google again. Thanks.

[apristel]

Yeah MPT is (don't take this the wrong way) pic/video/ringer program for dummies! Its very user friendly. You will see when I mean. I sent you a screenshot, check your pm.

[Lene']

by the way, what version should I look for?

[Lene']

I aint too proud to beg. Ha! No offense taken WHATSOEVER! You're great, thanks.

[Lene']

I found some MPT download options but, dont know which to download. Anyone ever tried Google.du ?

[Sandroc]

Any version will work. But the latest version I am aware of is 4.2.1

first off. great site! i just got my v3 today and read half this site. so far i have:
1. unlocked phone
2. put on monsterpack for tmobile

and now i am stuck with some little things (must be in the other half, i have not read yet). i tried uploading ringtones via p2k tools. i succeded. the file is on the phone.

now, how do i select it to make the phone ring? i seem to have no option to select a ringtone at all. is it because after installing monsterpack i need to install something else? thanks guys!

[apristel]

delete the two .db files in the audio directory of the phone with the p2ktools and then restart the phone.

I just bought a Motorola SLVR L7 and whenever I try to transfer files from my computer to the phone it says "(file entity too large (4x0D))"
Is there any way I can get around this (I have a 128 MB memory card)

Top of the page, third tab over. Look under V3 guides.

You might also want to check out the L7 forums. There are subtle differences between how the L7 and V3 interact with the computer.

You restart the phone first. Then you go to menu>multimedia>audio>and select the sound clip you want. Then, press the menu button again. In the list of options is "apply as ring tone". Select that, and you now have that clip as your ringtone.

Hi, Im new to this modding, and i have used MP3 tracks as ringtones on other phones ok, i have copied them to the a:/mobile/audio folder with p2ktools, i use the "use as ringtone" option on my phone, yet it still uses "standard" when i get a call. i cant see the tracks in my ringtone selection menu... any help??

[sebgonz]

BlackThunder, you need to delete the two .db files in the audio folder and then restart your phone.
