VUZIQ: Video Ringtones For Incoming Calls On iOS

Incoming calls are boring! You only get to see the contact’s name with a still photo. But we know all FaceTime capable iOS devices have ringtone capabilities. Wouldn’t it be great if you could set a particular song and a music video to incoming calls that pleases you? Ringtone is usually an audio file that plays to alert when someone is calling. Now we can move around audio and get a video ringtone instead of just a sound with the new Cydia Tweak known as VUZIQ.

When the tweak is installed on a jailbroken iPhone, users are able to search and download music videos. Once downloaded, they are able to set them to play when an incoming call is received. The ringtone of the iDevice is altered to suit the video audio as the tweak makes use of both the video and audio of the downloaded file. After installing the VUZIQ, users will be presented with a new application icon where they can set all the preferences of their choice.









After opening the app, a screen will appear asking for name, age email address and the favorite band to get started. After filling in this info, you can start using the tweak. VUZIQ uses YouTube to search and download the video you would be keeping as your video ringtone. The music video will appear in the video ringtone library once downloaded and saved.

You must make sure to turn it on by using the small switch by the video, or it won’t have a clue how to direct to the calls. The app works with Phone application calls as well as FaceTime calls. After you’ve enabled the video from the app, receiving a FaceTime call or an inbound phone call will yield the video you saved being played for you.

You should note that not all videos on YouTube are open for saving to the public and you need to contact the owner of the account for permission before downloading any copyrighter videos.

You can get VUZIQ from BigBoss repo for free. It has no specific iOS requirements mentioned. Let us know if you try it!
