Video Ringtones on your iPhone 2.0 with MiVTones

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 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.
