You are the first :-)  Do you want to do your work on
Windows or Linux?

bitpim is written in Python which is a simple object oriented
programming language.

Choose view on this:

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/bitpim/bitpim/com_lgvx4400.py

Look through the whole file and decide if you would understand
enough to make minor tweaks.  There are several tutorials at

That will come in VERY handy when I move onto enhancing the
ringtone stuff.  I am going to need to convert files to
type 0 format, figure out how long they are, and chop
the file to start and end at certain points.
