Okay so here are the most simple methods to doing this:
To Use Phone Memory:
1. First pick the audio file you would like to use as a ringtone. (make sure it is one of these formats: MP3, AAC Plus, WMA, AAC, EAAC+)
2. Find any audio file that is the same format as the file from step #1 and is also smaller then 300kb.
2b. Rename this file to match the audio file from step #1.
3. In EFS or BitPim navigate to /LGAPP/Media/Midis/RingTone/ and place the file from step #2 in that folder.
4. Disconnect and reboot phone.
4b. To change default ringtone go to Sound Settings>Ringtones and set the file from step #2 as your ringtone.
4c. To change Caller Group ringtone go to Address Book>Caller Groups>Select a Caller Group>Hit Options> Edit Group> Then as the ringtone select the file from step #2.
5. Reconnect your phone to EFS or BitPim and navigate back to /LGAPP/Media/Midis/RingTone/ and overwrite the file from step #2 with the file from step #1. IMPORTANT: FILES MUST HAVE SAME EXACT NAME FOR THIS TO WORK
6. Disconnect and reboot phone.
