LG VX-8100
Storing ringtones on MiniSD card
Hello,
I could have sworn I saw somewhere a while back a thread on this forum about someone having a hack to allow the VX-8100 to utilize ringtones stored on the MiniSD card. Currently as I understand it, you can put your custom ringtones on the phone memory in one of the
BREW folders using BitPim or QPST. However, to do this can be more involved and a pain in the a$$. If there was some way to tell the phone to look on say \My_RingTones folder of the SD card, this would make things much easier.
If someone knows of the mod needed please post it here.
Thanks
Mike

this was posted in the 9800 forum, but if my memory is correct the exact same process works on 8100.
Transferring files to the miniSD card through the phone using BitPim is very slow, users should transfer files to the card directly from a PC.
1. On the miniSD card, create a subdir called ringers
2. Copy your ringtone files to the ringers subdir.
3. Insert the card back into the phone and start BitPim.
4. Retrieve Ringtone data from the phone:
1. Menu Data -> Get Phone Data.
2. Check on Ringtone, and click on OK.
5. Write Ringtone data back to the phone:
1. Menu Data -> Send Phone Data.
2. Check on Ringtone and Replace All, and click on OK.
6. All of the ringtones stored on both the phone and the card are now available for ass...

i don't know if that really helps, you were looking for an easy way to put ringers on, this is more of a way to add space for more ringers, the process itself actually seems a little trickier.
