[BitPim-user] 3 questions, Verizon VX4500

[<spl...@co...>]

To add some data to the heap, and help offset my consuption of information, I would like to state that I am using a MA-8022 cable, which is another USB to serial interface. I got the cable and software for under 10 bucks, but the software is nothing to brag about. That's how I found BitPim.

Now for my questions, it seems the phone does not loop my mp3 ringtones. I don't remember if this was the case with earlier versions where you needed to trick the software and change the mp3 extension to mid to get them to upload and register to the phone. Any solutions, and is this related to BitPim's rate and channel conversion for MP3s?

My second question is broader, I would like some guidance on the file system. I have been trying to find out what the 'my pictures' and other media folders are for on the phone. If they are anything useful, like adding my own icons in addition to those provided on the phone, I would like to know what format they need to be in, where to upload them, what file to register them with, and the format of that file so I can hex edit it. But from what I have found searching, there may not be an answer to this.

My final question concerns if I can add files to the file system, and within what limits. I had considered using my phone to carry an encryption key with me. I understand the cable could be seen as an issue, and it is a lot less efficent than a real storage device, but it is also a lot harder to get at. I belive the data will be invisable to the programs on the phone, so you would need somthing like BitPim to see the file in question. The key file is only a few bytes as well.
