Motorola Krzr k1m

I got this phone and really hated the inability to disable the shutter sound and also wanted a way to put MP3 ringtones on it without buying them at ridiculous prices. The ringtone instructions have been tested on two phones on the Sasktel network and one phone with Telus, all worked. The shutter sound instructions have only been used on the Sasktel phones, but as long as you can find the .WAV file your phone is using as a shutter sound (maybe not shutter1.wav), the concept of overwriting it with an empty audio file should work just as well.

Setup

• Install Motorola Phone Tools
• Install P2k Commander
• Hook up your phone with the USB cable
• Start up P2k Commander
• In the right pane's dropdown box (at the top) select "/a P2k Phone system" and click "Re-Read"

Disable Shutter Sound

• Start up windows sound recorder
• Without recording anything, select File->Save As and save the file as "shutter1.wav" in "My Documents".
• In P2k Commander, in the right pane, navigate to "/a/motorola/system/".
• In the left pane, select "shutter1.wav" (You may have to refresh the left pane) and then right click on it and click "Copy".
• On your phone, go into your camera then to Options->Camera Setup->Shutter Tone and select "Chimp".
• There should no longer be a shutter sound!

MP3 Ringtones

• First, cut up the MP3 you want to use as a ringtone down to a probably <30 second segment. Audacity is a good, free program for this.
• Once you've got your file cut, export it to an MP3 with a descriptive name in My Documents.
• In the right pane, navigate to "/a/motorola/shared/audio/"
• Select your MP3 in the left pane and then right click on it and click "Copy".
• Navigate back up to "/a/"
• Delete "MyToneDB.db" THIS WILL DISASSOCIATE ALL RINGTONES WITH ALL CONTACTS IF YOU HAVE THIS SET UP
• Restart your phone
• You can now select your MP3 as your ringtone!
