Get Video Ringtones on your iPhone 2.0 with MiVTones

August 7th, 2008 by iPhoneTechZone

MiVTones is the new name for VideosTone for the iPhone. It is a great app that allows you to use a video clip for your ringtone. MiVTones comes from iFoneTec.com, a Hong Kong based software development company that specializes in iPhone Software Development.

MiVTones Features:
1. Support Firmware V2.0
2. Set Video Sound Mute
3. Set Vibration on/off

It is currently available for install via Cydia or manually add the source app.ifonetec.com/cydia. Once you have installed it, you will find the app in your settings. Once you have installed it, you will find the app in your settings. Once you open it up, you’ll need to register with http://www.MiVTones.com to register a MiVTones account to be able to get a password. The app is free to use, but if you pay the ~$20 USD you’ll be bale to assign a video to each contact if you wish and they also promise other exciting new features.

I am personally not sure if this app (or the single added feature for now) is worth $20, maybe $4.99 or something. The developer only gives you one video to use for now and you’ll have to upload your own via SSH. Videos are stored in /var/mobile/Media/VideoTone/Video/ - (it says it uses AIF files, not sure if mp4 still works). I used to use MXTube and Finder to download music videos and use them as Video Ringtones, but with no MobileFinder on the iPhone for 2.0  yet, you’ll need to do this manually.

    I have some problems with MivTones on iPhone 2G, after the phone goes to sleep it disables the home button and I have to restart it. If I call myself it makes the home button work again…until it goes to sleep again :(
    Anyway to fix that issue?

    Never encountered nor heard of this problem to date. I would 1st try to remove the app to see if the problem goes away and its not due to the new firmware. If not then the best would be for you to report the bug to the Developer on his website here http://www.ifonetec.com

    Good luck!
