VideosTone for your iPhone - Video Ringtones

Well it’s about time! One of the first apps that I ever requested has come out. VideosTone simply allows you to use a video file as a ringtone on your iPhone. Apple never added this as a feature of iPhone OS X - yet.

VideosTone comes from iFoneTec.com, a Hong Kong based software development company that specializes in iPhone Software Development.

Thanks to ModMyiFone.com the new installer source is http://modmyifone.com/installer.xml and Cydia source: http://apptapp.saurik.com

“The first in the ability to activate video ringtones on in-coming call for the Apple iPhone from iFoneTec.com. You will be able to assign designated video ringtones on your Contact list. More customize Video Ringtones are under development and will soon be made available at iFoneTec.com. VideosTone is the first in the World to have Video Ringtone playback capability on the Apple iPhone. Support iPhone Firmware 1.1.x (2.0 is under development). Test in 1.1.2 and 1.1.4.”

To install this great little app, add http://app.ifonetec.com to your installer sources. To add your own videos to the app you simply upload the videos via OpenSSH and the FTP ap of your choice to the following directory on your iPhone: /var/mobile/Media/VideoTone/Video/

Here is a great Tip - Use MxTube to download your favorite music video on your iPhone, then use MobileFinder to copy and paste the .mp4 file to the VideosTone video folder, works great for me
