Yes you can
To use bitpim with the Vu set you phone to an lg vx8700 same as the shine.
LG PC Suite (for TU915). Drivers for CU915/CU920
Bitpim/EFS
Instructions:
1. Install software listed above
2. Hook up phone
3. Launch BitPim (if using EFS, skip to step 12)
4. BitPim should show "Other CDMA phone on COMx" (where x is the COM port being used)
5. Choose Edit, Settings
6. Change Phone Type to "LG-VX8700" (this is the CDMA version Shine)
7. Click OK to close
8. Choose View, View Filesystem
9. Click the Filesystem icon
10. Click the expand button beside "/"
11. It will say "Retrieving" for a minute or two
12. Expand to the following directory: /LGAPP/Media/Midis/RingTone
13. Add whatever MP3 ringtones you want by right-clicking on RingTone folder and selecting "New File ..."
And a few final things to note:
* You can also modify sounds in other folders but you can generally only replace existing ones (ie. the new files
must have the same name)
* There is still a size restriction of 300kB on the ringtone MP3s so you can't use a full song
* You can bypass the Java security restrictions by modifying the .pol files under /LGAPP/Media/Java/cert/
Note: There is a workaround the
300kb limit but it involves using a data cable and such. Directions can be found in this post,
