LG Dare ringtones

[gaimear]

Hey guys, I've been trying to find a way to get ringtones onto my new phone, and I refuse to pay the $3 verizon wants to download them when I know perfectly well I can get it for free! I've tried Bitpim, but I get a dll not found error when I try to run it after a brand new install. :/ Any other ways I could use?

what is the error you are getting? bitpim works with the dare.

"MSVCP71.dll was not found"?

anyway if thats the case, grab the dll here.

Once you unzip it, save it under your C:\Windows\System32\ folder.

Then as for putting ringtones on your phone..

1. Fire up BitPim
2. Using the data cable connect LG Dare to USB port
3. Click the find phone button (Phone with a magnifying glass)
4. Look on bottom to see that it has found your LG Dare. It will give you an option to “name” your LG Dare (optional)
5. On left panel click “filesystem”
6. On the middle pane that opens up click the folder to open the file structure
7. Open the folder “brew”
8. Open the sub-folder “mod”
9. Open the sub-folder “10889″
10. Open the sub-folder “ringtones”

You are now ready to open up in Explorer the folder containing your ringtones
You can either drag and drop individually or “select all” to do this in one operation.
Drag and drop your ringtones into brew/mod/10889/ringtones (the right panel is the the open “ringtones” folder.
When done right click in the pane and chose reboot
You can then exit BitPim and disconnect your LG Dare.
You can also do a manual re-boot by the way.
Yes your phone might say music or data but you can disregard this when using BitPim as that is for when using drag and drop with USB Mass Storage.
You are not syncing music or data to the phone as you would be doing if you were adding songs to “mymusic”.
Do not, do not get lost and Delete anything unless you are absolutely sure of what you are deleting. BitPim is easy but unforgiving. Before you begin adding anything to the folders you might be wise to backup the entire tree (on that orginal center pane folder right click and select “backup entire tree”. That way if you foul up you can hopefully recover. The LG Dare is goodlooking but as a brick it is expensive.
If you want you can also add Wallpapers (240 x 400) jpg/gif into folder 10888.
Hope this helps.

You don't need to download shit if you have the USB cable it came with. Just hook it up to your PC and drop some mp3s into the sound folder. Send them to yourself and save as ringtones.

At least I've got free texting; sucks that Verizon shut down emailing ringtones to your phone; that's how I used to do it.
