It is very easy

Definitely interested.

please post how to do it..thanks....

Please post it... I'm interested as to how as well. Thanks.

from what i understand telus has blocked any obex file transfer srvices on the chocolate. So no mp3 ringtones yet

That just means you have to transfer them though USB Cable.

If its as easy as using a usb cable why on earth does telus keep cripling the bluetooth features in phones? This makes no sense to me at all

It's not always easy, you have to know what files to edit. I usually just wait for someone else to figure it out so I don't mess up my phone

OK so as promised here we go..

This guide is intended for people that create their own ringtones from material in which they own the rights to.

These instructions are as simple as they come!

you will need the following programs and drivers

- BitPim http://bitpim.org/ (i am using version 09.07)

- USB driver foujnd here - http://www.humpa.com/vzw/ (select LG-VX8500 Chocolate Drivers - these came with the MEK Music Essentials Kit - Chocolate USB Drivers)

Make sure you install the USB modem driver first before connecting phone to computer!

1. Open the FILE SYSTEM by clicking on the folder next to the window with FILE SYSTEM listed in it.


2. Once expanded look for the folder named "BREW" click on it


3. Look for a folder under the BREW directory named "16452" click on it
4. Then click on "MDS" and drag and drop all MP3's into the window to the right that you want to use as ringtones. (keep in mind to keep a bitrate of 192kbps for quality sound on the mp3)



5. Once you have the mp3s loaded, click on the "send data to phone" button in the upper left corner of the window.

6. A new window will pop up, check mark "RINGTONES" and click on OK


7. The phone will then make a short dial noise and pop up a new larger window with a bunch of information, click on "OK" at the bottom.


6. DISCONECT the phone and POWERCYCLE!. You now have all the MP3's loaded on the phone and are able to select them as ringtones

RINGTONES WILL BE LISTED IN THE "RINGTONES" FOLDER ON THE PHONE

For those that do not have a transflash card here is how you load wallpapers

Instead of clicking on the MDS folder in step 4 click on MP and drag and drop all wallpapers in this window. keep in mind that the screen size is around 240x275. and then follow steps 5 to 7 (same process as the mp3's)


Good luck and ENJOY your new RINGTONES

good job 5150studios.......its only been like 3 days and already we got custom ringtones

Thank you 5150. I've linked your thread to the (The REAL Lg chocolate Hacking). After reading your post, it look easy alright but called me foolish for asking: Are you using the phone's Bluetooth for connection or the USB cable. Maybe there is something that I'm missing. I will try it out to see if it works.

Once again, Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
