message sounds

[thatfreakinaaron]

is there a way to choose a ringtone for a new text message alert?

Follow the instructions in my guide for replacing the ringtones. Instead of going to the Library/Ringtones directory, /System/Library/Audio/UISounds

In there you'll find a bunch of .caf files. The file you'll want to change is "sms-received.caf". To make a .caf file, export a sound as an aif and rename it to .caf.

To remove the old audio file, type "rmdir sms-received.caf" and the "putfile sms-received.caf" to upload the new sound.

That should do it.

Mubs, what guide are you referring to? Where can I find it? Thanks.

The guide I'm referring to is here (http://www.iphonealley.com/forums/showthread.php?t=412).

Hmmm, I followed the instructions but I dont hear anything anymore. Any ideas? Heres a log of what I did:

redrums-computer:~/Desktop/iPhone goodies/tools redrum$ cd ~/Desktop/iPhone\ goodies/tools/

redrums-computer:~/Desktop/iPhone goodies/tools redrum$ ./jailbreak

[jailbreak 1.0] by ziel w/ special thanks to GeoHot and the rest of the #iphone-dev crew.

Looking for iPhone...
Sending Files...

*** If iTunes is running, please close it.
*** Hold the POWER and HOME buttons for approximately 25s.
*** Release when the display says 'Please Connect to iTunes'.

Sending More Files...
Booting iPhone...

Waiting for iPhone to finish booting...
Moving files into place...
Cleaning up...
Rebooting iPhone...

Enjoy your newfound freedom. Thank the devs at #iphone next time you see them for making this all possible.
p.s. Like most other useful tools, this one may be dangerous if used carelessly. Always remember -- You brick it, you bought it.

p.p.s. I have no idea how 'My Humps' could possibly have gotten set as your ringtone. ;)

I forgot to add that I do have a sms-received.caf file in the tools directory and it works via quicktime.
