**** If you’re an existing iPhone user from Rogers dont comment saying that this is old news because some of the newer users on the Telus and Bell network might not know this information ****

 

Seeing it’s not a good idea right now to do a Tethered Jailbreak on the new iPhone 3GS on Telus/Bell/Rogers users are complaining about the non-customizable features of the iPhone itself. I have found a simpler way to “atleast” change the ringtones on the phone itself. It’s not the easiest fix, but atleast it wont void your warranty nor brick it.

What you need to get the job done:

  1. 3GS iPhone
  2. iTunes updated to the latest version
  3. Audio editing software. Anyone will do, I used AVS Media’s Audio Editor 
  4. Some window command knowledge — stupid Vista

Lets get started:

  1. Edit your song/ringtone to just under 30 seconds using your audio editor and save it as an mp3. 
  2. Drag the newly created file into iTunes’ music folder (it really doesnt matter if your phone is connected)
  3. Click on the song, go up to Advanced –> Create AAC Version
  4. Drag the AAC version of the song onto the Desktop
  5. Open Command (click, Start –> Run –> cmd) and rename the file from whatever.m4a to whatever.m4r
  6. If you are having trouble renaming go here: How to Rename
  7. Drag the renamed file back into iTunes, don’t worry, it disapears with in the interface.
  8. Sync your iPhone and you’re done.
  9. Now go into Ringtones and at the top you will see “Custom Ringtones”

I hope this helps

sudo nano /etc/bash.bashrc and look for the following:
# enable bash completion in interactive shells lost its color
if [ -f /etc/bash_completion ]; then
. /etc/bash_completion
fi

Take out the # and restart bash. If this doesn’t solve your issue, the replace this your own bashrc file with this one: BASHRC. Or if you don’t have one, add this to your /home/USER/ directory. Make sure you rename it to .bashrc

Apparently I am still confused on how to properly program with php and have it do what I want it to do, so this page will continue to have little or no content added to it.
However, with that being said, there is some exciting news: I will be adding a Linux Questions tab that you can post questions to it and select you current platform and it will either search my site or the platform’s site. I know this kind of is defeated with google, but some may like it.
Other than that, I am also looking into the layers approach to a site, completely able to move items about for your customizing needs. More to come,
