Easy, free 30-sec hack - add ringers, wallpapers, and videos
WELCOME
This is a simple little hack I found out to add ringtones, pictures, ringers to your RAZR (I have a V3m, but it should work on a V3c)
You will need:
1. P2kCommander
2. A RAZR (duh!) :roll:
-----------
FIRST STEPS
Do these steps first, and then go down to RINGTONES/WALLPAPERS/VIDEOS.
1. Attack your phone to the computer with USB (get the Guide for it)
2. Open P2k Commander
3. In the top-left drop down box goto P2k Mobile Phone
4. Double-click on "a"
5. Double click on "motorola"
6. Double click on "shared"
7. The bottom-right corner should say
"Usb p2k device found, phone connected!"
"GENERIC FAILURE."
"Volume name fail!"
This is normal. If it doesn't say this, close P2k, unhook & restart your phone. Then start at step 1.
RINGTONES
1. Find a ringtone .mp3 or .midi or .qcp on your computer, and drag it to an easy-to-remeber location (like the harddrive, C:/)
2. In P2k Commander, double-click "audio"
You should be at "a/motorola/shared/audio/"
3. In the left pane (P2k Mobile Phone) scroll to the bottom and click on whitespace to unselect everything in that pane.
4. In the right pane (C:/ or ringtone folder), navigate to your ringtone and click on it ONCE.
5. On the bottom-right corner, there is a button called "Copy". Click it, and it will copy your ringer to the opposite pane.
6. When it is finished copying (it will freeze if it is a file near 500kb - WAIT FOR IT TO UNFREEZE - DON'T CLICK "ENDNOW"), then right-click on it in the left pane (Mobile Phone).
7. Uncheck "System , Survive Master Reset/Clear"
8. Now close P2k Commander, unhook your phone, and goto Menu -> Get It Now -> Get Tunes & Tones and check out your tone! Sweet!
WALLPAPERS
1. Find a picture .JPG or .JPEG or .GIF (for screensavers) on your computer, and drag it to an easy-to-remeber location (like the harddrive, C:/)
2. In P2k Commander, double-click "picture"
You should be at "a/motorola/shared/picture/"
3. In the left pane (P2k Mobile Phone) scroll to the bottom and click on whitespace to unselect everything in that pane.
4. In the right pane (C:/ or picture folder), navigate to your picture and click on it ONCE.
5. On the bottom-right corner, there is a button called "Copy". Click it, and it will copy your ringer to the opposite pane.
6. When it is finished copying (it will freeze if it is a file near 500kb - WAIT FOR IT TO UNFREEZE - DON'T CLICK "ENDNOW"), then right-click on it in the left pane (Mobile Phone).
7. Uncheck "System , Survive Master Reset/Clear"
8. Now close P2k Commander, unhook your phone, and goto Menu -> Get It Now -> Get PIX & FLIX -> My PIX and check out your new picture! Awsome!
VIDEOS
1. Find a video .3g2 on your computer, and drag it to an easy-to-remeber location (like the harddrive, C:/)
2. In P2k Commander, double-click "video"
You should be at "a/motorola/shared/video/"
3. In the left pane (P2k Mobile Phone) scroll to the bottom and click on whitespace to unselect everything in that pane.
4. In the right pane (C:/ or video folder), navigate to your video and click on it ONCE.
5. On the bottom-right corner, there is a button called "Copy". Click it, and it will copy your ringer to the opposite pane.
6. When it is finished copying (it will freeze if it is a file near 500kb - WAIT FOR IT TO UNFREEZE - DON'T CLICK "ENDNOW"), then right-click on it in the left pane (Mobile Phone).
7. Uncheck "System , Survive Master Reset/Clear"
8. Now close P2k Commander, unhook your phone, and goto Menu -> Get It Now -> Get PIX & FLIX -> My FLIX and check out your new video! Swell!
TROUBLESHOOTING
-------------
Q: My picture/video folder doesn't show up on P2k Commander.
A: This is because you have no pictures/videos. Take a picture/video and they will show up.
--------------
If you want to text these items, it will work (but I've only tried it on PIX and ringtones, but videos should work too).
------
The ringtones you cannot set to ringtones. :shock: You can play it and rename it, but right now you can't actually set it to your ringer. If anyone finds how to set it as ringer, please put back a post.
---------
Well, thats it! Please leave back comments!

I found this hack out myself, but it's so easy I'd be suprised if someone else didn't find it out first. But I looked and couldn't find anything, so here you go. :wink: [/i]

Posted: Sun, 01/28/2007 - 07:57 by CincyballYea, this has been around for a long time. But arent you forgetting to mention you need MSU or PST running to use P2Kcommander when using a Verizon razr? U dont need it for an Alltel razr, but since this is the Verizon razr sub-forum, u should probably mention that. Also, what good is it calling them ringtones if u cant apply them as ringtones? What you need to do to "apply as ringtone" is to delete the MyTonesDB.db file from the root of the phone, then restart the phone, and it should give that option to those audio files u added. Perhaps next time, iron out all the kinks before posting a "guide" :wink:

Posted: Sun, 01/28/2007 - 11:26 by KMDonlonWhy was my post stating the deletion of the MyTonesDB.db removed?? I posted it this morning, the post was here and now I realized it was deleted? Why is this??

Posted: Sun, 01/28/2007 - 13:44 by gaj90027Hey KMDonlon, I'm noticing some weird behavior as well. I keep getting topic reply notifications in my email and when I click the link it takes me to a completely different topic.
It probably has something to do with the site being transferred to a new host/new server. Maybe your post is sitting on the new site and you and I are still viewing the old site. It takes a few days for all the DNS servers in the world to be updated and direct us to the new site.
Anyway, that just my guess :P

found a way...kinda
i found a way to set the ringers as ringers...
if you have access to 2 phones then audio text the ring tone to one phone, and then text it back. This will set it as a sound, .qcp (unless you send .midi).

I'm a chick, get it straight!

Posted: Mon, 01/29/2007 - 01:53 by Jadls79One thing I hate and I mean HATE about deleting the mytonedb file is it resets all of your ringers in every ring detail. Also, if you chaged your mind about the ringer, you'd have to use bitpim or p2k to delete and then have to delete mytonedb again to get rid of it. Pain in the A$$!! I just like to use MPT... The best and easiest way right there.

Posted: Mon, 01/29/2007 - 02:02 by polycat33I agree, I use MPT for all of this stuff and it's great. For a while it wasn't working and I was using p2kcommander and MPT is just SO much better.
