I also have a mogul and they advertise it to have sprint music and sprint tv(which of course is blocked from sprint-htc has a upgrade that makes sprint music work-but of course sprint has the channels list blocked so it blocked the channels from coming thru to the phone).
But because Sprint is a jerk about ringtones, I couldn’t figure out how to put custom ringtones on my daughters rumor phone. Some websites suggest that you record it using the memo recorder on the phone, but it sounds awful! But because I am amazing, I figured it out! The ringtones sound perfect, clear, loud, and always work.
The trick to this was figuring out the file type. The preloaded ringtones are in a .3g2 format, which is a video file format. Weird, huh? But transferring it to that file type wasn’t enough. I’ve provided highly illegal directions and a “what you’ll need” list.
What you’ll need:
-1 micro SD card & (usually) provided reader for your computer.
Most laptops and some desktops have an SD reader built right in.
-A 100×100 pixel image. Plain black is fine. This is create-able in MS paint. (The image is necessary because this is, of course, a video file, and without a picture the phone will not see it as a video file.)
-Windows Movie Maker (Found at C:\Program Files\Movie Maker)
-Freez 3GP Video Converter (hxxp_//w_w_w_smallvideosoft.c.o.m/3gp-converter)
-And of course, the song you want as a ringtone! (in .mp3 format)
Directions:
Select a song
Open “Windows Movie Maker” (C:\Program Files\Movie Maker)
Import the song into WMM (tasks > import audio or music)
Drag the song to the Audio / Music timeline and cut down to appropriate part and time (no more than 30 seconds)
Upload a picture to cover the 30 seconds (the plain image!) and expand it to cover the entire song.
Once you’re satisfied, click “file > save movie file > save it to your desktop”
Upload the saved WMV file to Freez 3GP Video Converter
Alter to these specs:
Video Settings
Video Code: MPEG4
Resolution:176×144
Width: 176
Height: 220
Video Quality: 8-Medium
Zoom Mode: Letterbox
File format: 3GPP2
Audio Settings
Audio Code: AAC-LC
Audio Bitrate: 48kBPS
Audio Frequency: 22050 Hz
Channels: Mono
Click Convert
Transfer file to your memory card
Assign: On your phone menu, go to settings and tools > settings > sounds > ringer type > voice calls > caller id (or no caller id, whichever you prefer) > my albums > memory card > choose your file > assign.
And you’re done! I hope this worked for you. |

I created the .WMV using WMM but it won't let me add it to Freez, is there something I'm doing wrong?

Well! I made some progress of my own and it's working perfectly.
Okay, first things first, go hunt down Audacity on the internet, learn to use it to trim your MP3 file to the 30 sec.-ish clip you want for your ringtone. Save that as an MP3 in the top format, you might need lame_enc.dll though, that's easy enough to find off of Google, should be the top link if you search the name properly.
Anyways, once you've got the clipped down MP3 that you want, go to:
hxxp //pcs cruz-network net/index php --(you know what to do with this link, I hope)
Upload(there's no progress meter, just watch the loading bar in your browser) the song, and go to:
hxxp //pcs cruz-network net/code php --on your mobile!
Enter in the code you got from uploading your mp3, and you should be golden!

I have just succeeded in putting a self-made ringtone to LG Rumor.
I used info from ventones dot com as well as some information from this forum.
After creating a video ringtone, it has be saved to a .3g2 file on the given link:
Download the Ringtone from the link Below
Right Click Here To Download your Special Free Sprint Ringtone!
In Settings I have to change Bluetooth Exchange FTP folder to Pictures->Memory Card before sending the video ringtone to my Rumor.
Then choosing Pictures->My Albums, I can see the video file and use it as a ring tone.
It took some trial and errors. Thanks to all who have provided useful information and free software. Hope my posting could help someone a bit as well.
