Still using MP3 ringtones? It’s not cool anymore. iFoneTec has released a new software called VideosTone. It plays a video while someone calls. It makes iPhone ringing is a good thing.

First, add “http://app.ifonetec.com” as the Installer.app’s source. Then, install the “Dynamic Module Loader” followed by “VideosTone” (Or the one end with other hosting 1) from “iFoneTec” category. Restart the iPhone completely.

From the settings screen below, you will find the VideosTone. Take a look of the full review after the break.

First, SSH into the iPhone using WinSCP or Cyberduck. Then, navigate to “/var/mobile/media/VideoTone/Video”. Place the video you want it play. It seems it only supports QuickTime format. For mp4 format video, if it can be played on iPhone, rename it with m4v extension and it should work. The video files which can be played on iPhone successfully should work. All files should be short and ended with m4v extension.

Click settings, and then choose VideosTone. Switch on the VideosTone first, then click Video settings. Choose the video you uploaded. If the video have a soundtrack, make sure you click RingTone, and then choose None.

The settings should be applied. When someone calls, it will automatically play the video. For free edition, you can not set each contact with specific video.

I have tried the software for several hours. It does not make my iPhone slowly. It makes the phone ringing becomes a cool thing. The free functions definitely enough for users. One thing I am looking forward is that the software can let me choose which part the video will play while there’s someone calls.
