How to upload MMF, Mp3, or MIDI Ringtones to Your Ocean
So, you’ve had your Ocean for a while. You’ve cycled through the standard ringtones, even considered purchasing new ones, simply because you feel the need to make the phone yours. Yet none of the ringtones seem to fit your tastes.
Don’t worry - with a bit of work, you can make the phone play just about any song you want the next time mom calls.
Thanks to underscorex1 of HowardForums for bringing this to light.
Pay some love to our sponsors while you’re here. A quick click makes the bajillion hits to this page a little lighter of a load.
Note: Currently, MP3/MIDIs with their extension replaced with .mmf will work. For example: “Song.mp3″ renamed to “Song.mmf” will load as a ringtone in the same manner as a normal .mmf would. However, Helio may change this in a future Over-The-Air update. If so, follow this guide to learn how to convert MP3s to MMF.
What You’ll Need:
PC or Mac with an Internet Connection
Helio Ocean (Pretty Important.)
Any MMF, MP3, or MIDI below 1MB (Issues have been reported with VBR encoded MP3s)
Any email account accessible through the built in Helio “Message” inbox. (You must use the Message inbox - browser based email won’t work.)
The Process:
1. First, we must prepare the ringtone. If it’s an MMF, you’re set. If you’re using a MIDI, MP3, or WAV file, you must rename the extension to mmf. You don’t need to convert it, just change the extension. For example: Song.mp3 should become Song.mmf.
Windows XP: follow this guide to be able to view/change file extensions. Right click the file and click “rename”.
Mac OS X: right click the file and hit “Get Info”. Modify the extension under the “Name and Extension”.
2. On any computer with a net connection, send an e-mail to the Yahoo e-mail account with the MMF/Mp3/MIDI as an attachment (As mentioned above, MP3s must be renamed to have an mmf extension)
3. On your Ocean device, open the e-mail.
4. Highlight the attachment. This should change the ‘Compose’ option to ‘Download’.
5. Press the flame key. This will download the MMF/Mp3
6. Highlight the attachment - Notice that ‘Download’ has changed to ‘Action’
7. Press the flame key again.
8. Choose “Save to Rings”
9. Leave the mail program, and go to the ‘Customize’ screen, followed by ‘Rings’, and then ‘Free rings’. The files you downloaded earlier will be available here.
Having trouble getting MP3s to work? Head on over to the forums and ask for help.
Note for people that arn’t getting a “Save to Ringtone” option:
-You must rename the extension to MMF. Read step 1.
Dont forget to rename your mp3's to .MMF
