iPhone Firmware 1.1.1 claims another Victim: iPhone Applications to add custom ringtones to your iPhone don’t seem to work

It was only last week that I had written about the seven cool iPhone hacks or applications which can be used to add custom ringtones to your iPhone in case you did not want to pay Apple the additional 99c for each song you wanted to add as ringtone.
Apple seems to have spoiled that party too like it has done for those with unlocked iPhones with firmware 1.1.1 as NONE of the applications seem to currently work with iPhone firmware 1.1.1.

I sat down to update my article on Seven iPhone applications to add custom ringtones to your iPhone so that iPhone users with firmware 1.1.1 know which application to use and was shocked with the findings. The primary reason for writing this article was that NONE of the applications or hacks that could be used to add custom ringtones to your iPhone will work with firmware 1.1.1. I probably should have guessed it when there were reports that none of the third party applications worked with the latest firmware.
Below is the updates from the hackers or developers or in some cases users for their respective iPhone applications with respect to iPhone firmware 1.1.1:
iToner:

iToner does not currently work with iPhone OS 1.1.1. We are working hard on a fix.
iPhoneRingToneMaker:
iPhoneRingToneMaker does not work with iPhone Software 1.1.1. and iTunes 7.4.2 In the mean time, if you use or want to use iPhoneRingToneMaker, we suggest you hold off on upgrading to iPhone Software 1.1.1. We are committed to doing everything our power to resolve this issue promptly.
MakeiPhoneRingtone:
There are no updates from the developer on this however below is a message from Jess, one of the users which confirms that Apple seems to have fixed the ultimate hack discovered by Cleverboy that setting the value of "stik" metadata to 14 turned any AAC file into a ringtone.
Jess says "The new firmware allows you to add the ringtones, but once they're on the phone they don't play."
Ringtonator Studio:
Again there are no updates from the developer on this however below is a message from Jeremy over at the hackers website, one of the users which suggests that Ringtonator Studio too does not work with iPhone firmware 1.1.1.
Jeremy had this to say about current status of Ringtone Studio "I imagine most other people have the same experience as me, but just to spell it out in the comments for anyone else who comes across this and wonders what the state of things is:

running itunes 7.4.2 and iPhone firmware 1.1.1 (completely unhacked iPhone) I am able to create a ringtone with ringtonator 1.5.2 and then rename the file it has produced to *.m4r and drag that into the ringtones list in iTunes. When I sync the phone it shows that it is copying the files over to the iPhone and I see the progress meter fill in itunes (no errors shown) but the ringtones are not listed in the sounds menu on the phone, nor are they listed individually under the ringtones tab when I click on my iPhone to adjust the settings in iTunes."
iFuntastic:
Based on initial reports iFuntastic like all third-party applications does not work with iPhone firmware 1.1.1.
iBrickr:
The iPhone 1.1.1 update ruins everything! If you don't already have the 1.0.2 firmware downloaded, you can't use iTunes to grab it any more.
Song Sender:
Based on initial reports about third-party applications I am assuming that Song Sender does not work with iPhone firmware 1.1.1.

So the options one has to add custom ringtones to your iPhone are as follows:

• Pay Apple the additional 99c for each song you want to add as a ringtone.
• Do NOT update your iPhone firmware in case you are still using 1.0.2 (recommended if you are still using 1.0.2).
• Downgrade from 1.1.1 to 1.0.2 - Details here (not recommended).
• Wait for the hackers or developers to release new versions of their Application to work with firmware 1.1.1 (recommended if you have already upgraded to 1.1.1 or have bought a new iPhone with 1.1.1 already on it).
