Unflappings

There are many applications out there to help you create the perfect ring tone from mp3′s already on your phone but that takes a little too much effort. In addition, you can use free tools to clip your sounds and simply copy them to your Android phone via USB cable. All these alternatives are easy but can take too much time.

Mabilo Ringtone is a free application on the marketplace that is very quick to download. You can download all the ring tones you want. The good part is the files on the application are updated daily by a user base of over 30,000 users. You can download the tones, set them specifically to certain callers. However, If you phone crashes for some reason or you feel you need to uninstall the application, all the ringers go with it.

Follow these easy steps to take those downloaded ringtones and place them in a more secure location.

1. Plug in your usb cable to the phone and computer.
2. On your phone, initiate the USB connection
3. On the computer, navigate to your phone’s SD card drive and find the folder named ” com -> mabilo”
4. Copy your ring tones in that folder to the directory “media -> audio -> ringtones” (NOTE: be sure to leave the tmp_preview file in the mabilo directory”

That is it! Now you can stream and download new ringtones as they are released and back them up so you never lose them. You can also download a free file explorer utility and do all this from your phone, instead of hooking it up to the usb cable.
