iPhone Hacked for Custom Ringtones

by Terrence O'Brien on July 13, 2007 at 02:53 PM

Custom Ring-Tones on Your iPhone
We all new it was only a matter of time before relentless hackers started taking care of some of our iPhone gripes. First thing on the block, customizable ring-tones. The folks over at hacktheiphone.com have compiled a set of complex but very specific instructions for loading your own personal ring-tones on the iPhone ... at least if you have an Intel based Mac.

The hack is possible with the help of a pair of programs call Jailbreak and iPhoneInterface which open up the file system and UI of the iPhone to user access.

The hack has been pretty reliable so far, but if you screw up your phone you can always restore it to its pre-hacked state. Just remember to back up all your data before you start tinkering.

Happy hacking.
