this is what i did:

------Making the .m4r--------

1) I have "QuickTime Player pro", i opened an mp3 with it

2) set my in and out with the little marker on the time line
**I set it to about 30 seconds in between the markers (set it to what ever length you want)

3) then under edit ---> Trim to Selection

4) then under File ---> Export...

5) went down to "Export:" change it to "Movie to ipod"

6) change the name of the song to something short with Songname<space>.m4r

7) Hit save (saving it to desktop)

----Prep iphone-----

8) Download the patched mecca file "mecca.zip"

9) unzipped and copied to "/System/Library/Frameworks/MeCCA.framework/" over SFTP (on my iphone)

10) Reboot iPhone

11) Copy .m4r ringtone to "/Library/Ringtones/"
NOTE: THE SPACE BEFORE THE DOT IS IMPORTANT, IT'S WHAT THE PATCH LOOKS FOR AND MAKE SURE IT IS " .m4r" on your iphone

12) Go to Settings ---> Sounds and select your ringtone
**AND IT SURVIVES SYNCS!!! NOW YOU CAN SET YOUR RINGTONES TO YOUR CONTACTS!!!! YAHOO!!!

One of the iPhone-Elite members posted a method for patching the MeCCA framework binary to allow for custom ringtones.

I followed the instructions and am just releasing a pre-patched MeCCA file for easier use. All credit goes to the iphone-elite team! I patched it using XVI32 (a hex editor)

Instructions
-------------------

1. Backup MeCCA file located at /System/Library/Frameworks/MeCCA.framework/ (I renamed mine to MeCCA.bak)

2. SCP the included MeCCA file to this location

3. Set permissions to 755 (I used WinSCP to do this)

4. Reboot iPhone

5. Copy your m4a ringtone to /Library/Ringtones

6. Change the extension of your m4a file from "name.m4a" to "name .m4r"
NOTE: THE SPACE BEFORE THE DOT IS IMPORTANT, IT'S WHAT THE PATCH LOOKS FOR

7. Go to Settings->Sounds and select your ringtone.
