Ashokjp 15 Report post Posted March 8, 2004 This my view Hey i dont think it will be illegal.. In case of gsm.. most of the phones there can be connected to pc and we can get the new ringtones to it through some soft.. But at the same time, when we download from operator they charge some amount for that.. Still ppl having cable and software do use these paid tones and stuffs.... In case of Reliance they arent providing any soft for adding ringtones.. So we found a way to get the ringtone to phone.. And also they wont loose the value of the content(tones,..), they provide in r-world. bcz even after hutch is chargin around Rs..7 / tone download.. i have seen ppl hunting for ringtones in it.. I dint get the illegal part here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sunil_jok 2 Report post Posted March 9, 2004 Here are some (4826) midi files for conveting to ring tones. ok i have downloaded it all to my ftp. it was bout 27 mb. and unzipped size of 112 mb... nice collection jax.... btw ashok has pointed out that this thread is not for discussion. so i think its time we did a cleaning job on this thread. all discussion would either be deleted or moved to another appropriate thread. i have another suggestion... having the ringtones in diff files might turn out to be very difficult.. so i am thinking of zipping it into files of 50 kb each... we would give credit for those who created the ringtone ofcourse.... i would like to hear your opinion on this...

Ashokjp 15 Report post Posted March 11, 2004 hey guys !. i have uploaded files of sizes other than the 4kb ones !. but they dont work !. any solutions ? And another query is how do i replace those irritating ring tones that the company provided (like raga,sufi ..etc) ? Well the file format is 4112 bytes.. So it wont accept anything exceeeding this size... Also it should be in the right format.. Check this thread right from the beginning for more info Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rao 0 Report post Posted March 11, 2004 dude.. you can upload only three ringtones from your sys to the mobile... The raaga, sufi..etc. are there to stay.. you win some.. you lose some... And I am currently researching on the uploading of fules other that 4 kb as soon as I get results.. you guys will be informed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StaticElectricity 8 Report post Posted March 11, 2004 well, it's impossible to replace those built in ringtones... alteast directly from the PC. and yes files larger than 4kb can be uploaded, but they need to be correctly hex edited, the first filesize descriptor (2 bytes) must be set to 00 00 or FF FF. i've tried u/l files around 4.5kb they work, but not files larger than those.

Ashokjp 15 Report post Posted April 1, 2004 is there any software or way in which i can play a ringtone (.dat format) on the PC and hear how it would sound on th phone..??i tried PSMP.. but it sounded discrete.. pls let me know if any one knows how to do it.. Hi Rahula, It wont play properly if the file extension is .dat... You have to rename it to .mid Rename those dat ringtones from .dat to .mid and then open it in Winamp or PSM player..

StaticElectricity 8 Report post Posted April 1, 2004 well, if you are using bitpim 7 beta, try refreshing the filesytem after it says that device needs attention or throws an excaption. it always works for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rahula 0 Report post Posted April 3, 2004 (edited) well... for chirag.. the message i got (the exception) was reading the file system.. not uploading the ringtone.. nevertheless.. all issues resolved now.. i got everythign up and running.. and its working too.. static.. indeed what u are saying is abs true.. writing a software like bitpim is no one man's job.. but wat i have been wondering for some time now is if we can write (or hack) into the existing software and change it, like adding some utilities, some stuff.. of ur own choice.. is it possible.. if any one of us has any contacts with any of the LG customer care guys.. then may be we could get hold of the softwarre to burn the flash of the phone as well.. (should nt be that diff..) wt remains is getting the existing source code and the relevant compiler for the same... just as a curiosity.. does any one know wat processor is the RD2030 using?? hey ppl.. was just having a look at the menu.db file posted by matrix.. (havent replaced it with my menu.db on my phone though).. looks like its some menu appearing on the phone.. matrix.. can u pls throw some light on this.. please let us (me atleast.. i am completely unaware of this) know what this file is.. what it does.. if it allows us to change the default menu or add to the default menu, how can we.. can we add anythign to the menu.. can we write our own utilities.. burn them and add a link to that in the main menu.. etc etc... thnx Rahula Edited May 24, 2004 by StaticElectricity Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
