ADDING A CUSTOM RINGTONE

STEP 1
Getting a ringtone
There are many ways to get a ringtone the main format were going to use today is the most common audio format out there, MP3. So if you have an MP3 you have a ringtone. Iam going to teach you a way to get a ringtone from any song you downloaded or have in iTunes.
1. Open iTunes
2. Open Audacity
3. in Audacity set the drop down box in the far right corner to Stereo Mix

• • there may be issues with certain audio cards not working with audacity, if you do not see a stereo mix or mono mix you may want to try to get a regular mp3, open the MP3 in audacity and move to #9 **

4. in iTunes queue up the song you wish to have turned into a ringtone.
5. press the Record button in Audacity
6. press the Play button in iTunes

• • in audacity you should see sound waves moving through the new window, if not its not recording **

7. once the song is complete, press Stop in audacity
8. using the audacity tools, the icon in the top left corner of the screen, which kind of looks like the letter ‘I’ that you can use to cut the song.
9. drag the area that you want to ‘delete’ and press the delete button.

• • if its not deleting make sure you stopped recording **
  • try to make your ringtone between 30-60 seconds, this is not only to save space, but to make it efficent so it just doesnt sound like your iPhone is playing the ipod music **

10. export in MP3, go to File
11. go to Export As Mp3
12. press ok a few times and save it in your C:\phonedmg folder

• • the file name you save as will be the name that appears in your ringtone list **

STEP 2
The following process is CASE SENSITIVE, meaning that you need to follow the uppercase and lowercase of the directories and file names.
Uploading your ringtone

• • make sure your phone is docked and itunes is closed **

1. start iphoneinterface
2. type: mkdir /var/root/Library/Ringtones
3. type: putfile /var/root/Library/Ringtones/<your ringtone>.mp3

• • example: putfile /var/root/Library/Ringtones/myhumps.mp3 **

4. type: quit
5. reboot your iPhone (hold the power button for a few seconds until the red slider appears and slide to turn off, wait a few seconds then turn back on by pressing the power button)
OR
5. take your iPhone off the dock and re-dock it, this should force itunes to resync if it does not, sync it with itunes and your songs will appear.

ADDING A CUSTOM CARRIER LOGO
Step 1
Getting a carrier logo
The following process is CASE SENSITIVE, meaning that you need to follow the uppercase and lowercase of the directories and file names.
Carrier logos are the logos that appear near your reception bar at the top left corner of the iPhone by default it says AT&T. Follow these instructions to change this icon to a custom one of your choice. The first half of the instructions will be about creating a simple one. The dimensions which I use is 44x20px. We will use that in our demonstrations, you can use a larger canvas.
1. open Adobe Photoshop CS2
2. create a new image with a transparent background and the width of 44px and a height of 20px.

3. from here your imagination is the instructions.

• • you should make two images one (Default_CARRIER_ATT.png) will be against a black background so you should make it any color but black, the second (FSO_CARRIER_ATT.png) will be against a grayish background so it can be black and any color but gray or even white. **

4. once you completed it save it as Default_CARRIER_ATT.png and save it in the C:\phonedmg folder
5. change the color of the image (unless you used a color other than white or gray for example if you used white for the first image then you need to change the color) you can do this simply by going to image->adjustment->hue/staturations and move the bars around until you get the right color

6. once you completed it save it as FSO_CARRIER_ATT.png and save it in the C:\phonedmg folder

• • make sure you save them as interlaced **
  • make sure your phone is docked and iTunes is closed **

7. start iphoneinterface
8. type: cd /System/Library/CoreServices/SpringBoard.app
9. type: putfile /System/Library/CoreServices/SpringBoard.app/Default_CARRIER_ATT.png
10. type: putfile /System/Library/CoreServices/SpringBoard.app/FSO_CARRIER_ATT.png
11. type: quit
12. restart your phone (hold the power button until the red slider appears and slide to turn off, turn on the phone by pressing the power button)
13. your carrier icon has changed.
ADDING A CUSTOM ICON

Step 1
The following process is CASE SENSITIVE, meaning that you need to follow the uppercase and lowercase of the directories and file names.
This final section we will be adding in a custom icon into your home screen. I will not be showing you how to ‘create’ your own. I will tell you that the normal icons are 60x60px, however, its not a rule and it can be ANY size you want. Just remember that the button itself is about a 60x60px area where you can actually press to make it go off.
1. get an icon (you can download packs or turn desktop icons into buttons by opening them in photoshop and resizing them ’60×60 is prefered’ , also make sure the background is transparent if you want it to be a true button)
2. save graphic as icon.png and interlaced and save it in the C:\phonedmg folder

3. start iphoneinterface

• • this part will depend on what application icon you are trying to change, for this example we will use the stocks icon **

4. type: cd /Applications/Stocks.app
5. type: putfile /Applications/Stocks.app/icon.png
6. type: quit

7. restart your phone (hold the power button until the red slider appears and slide to turn off, turn on the phone by pressing the power button)
8. your stocks icon on your home screen has now changed!

This not only works for the stock icon but for many many more, and all icons on the front screen. This process is basically the same for everything.

This will be the beginners guide to modding your iphone in Windows. This guide is for Windows user only. For the sake of consistency and length, I am going to be using a Windows XP SP2 box.

Things you will need for modding your iPhone for Windows

1. jailbreak for windows

2. iphoneinterface for windows (included in the jailbreak download)

3. iTunesMobileDevice.dll

4. software restore file(required for all versions of firmware)

5. software restore update(only required if you have version 1.0.1 of the firmware. On your iPhone, goto Settings->General->About to see your version)

6. WinRar (or equivalent)

**after you download WinRAR, install it. **

Once you have downloaded all of the above move on.

Step 1

Create a folder called phonedmg on the C:\ to do this do the following:

1. go to ‘START

2. go to RUN

3. type in the RUN command line: cmd

4. press enter

5. in the command window type: cd\

6. you should see C:\>

7. type in the command window: mkdir phonedmg

8. press enter

9. you should have a new folder called phonedmg

Step 2

Place all the files you downloaded (in compressed format) into the new phonedmg folder which is located in: [U]C:\phonedmg[/U]

Step 3

Open the C:\phonedmg folder in windows.

1. open my computer

2. open your c:\ drive

3. open the phonedmg folder

(which now should contain all the files you downloaded except for winrar)

Step 4

rename the file iPhone1,1_1.0_1A543a_Restore.ipsw to iPhone1,1_1.0_1A543a_Restore.zip to do this do the following:

1. in the C:\phonedmg folder window

2. click on tools (at the top)

3. click on folder options

4. click on the view (tab)

5. uncheck hide extensions for known file types

6. click on ok

7. right click on the iPhone1,1_1.0_1A543a_Restore.ipsw file

8. click on rename

9. change .ipsw to .zip

10. press enter

11. repeat for file iPhone1,1_1.0.1_1C25_Restore.ipsw (if you downloaded it)

Step 5

unzip or unrar all those files and extract them into the C:\phonedmg folder

to do this do the following:

1. right click on a file ending in .rar or .zip

2. click on extract here
Repeat the above steps for the following files (IN ORDER)

• iPhone1,1_1.0_1A543a_Restore.zip

• iPhone1,1_1.0.1_1C25_Restore.zip (if you downloaded it) NOTE: Click Yes to all when asked if you want to replace existing files.)

• jailbreak11.zip

NOTE: jailbreak11.zip will unzip into a few folders copy all the contents from the jailbreak/jailbreak/windows folder (or something like that) and copy that into the C:\phonedmg folder

Step 6

getting started

1. make sure that your phone is DOCKED and ON

2. make sure that [U]iTunes is SHUTDOWN[/U]

• make sure iTunes is fully closed and not in the system tray **

Step 7

making the connection

1. go to start

2. go to run

3. type in the run command line: cmd

4. press enter

5. type in the command window: cd c:\phonedmg

6. type in jailbreak

[I will insert screenshots later for now you can use the mac version, it looks the same]

7. there will be a point where it will ask you to:

“hold the POWER and HOME buttons for approximately 25s.“

The trick to this is make sure you hold it for long enough, press firmly and make sure that the dock does not get unhitched. Also hold it long enough and watch your command window, once it starts moving again, you can let go of the buttons. Keep holding until something on the command window happens.

Then there will be a lot of different text on the screen like “booting iphone” and “sending files” etc. be patient and wait till all of that is completed you will be rewarded

once that is completed it will give you final message and you are done. Once you have your prompt back (C:\>) then you can type in:

iphoneinterface

and viola you are now interacting with the iphone windows style – congratulations!
