Custom SMS

[SuzukiGS750EZ]

How do you get Custom SMS on the iPhone? I have a bunch of old tones on my old phone that I made and transfered on. How do I do it on mine? I'm famaliar with SSH and it is jailbroken, but i've never SSHd an iPhone nor do I know the file system, if that's how you replace sounds.

I downloaded the RingtoneMaker App just because it was a simple easy app to create ringtones from my iTunes music currently on my iPhone. The pro version for $1.99 allows you to make a longer ringtone.

From what I've been told you can't use custom Ringtones for SMS unless you jailbreak.

That only works for ringtones. Not SMS tones. As already said you have to be jailbroken to get custom SMS tones

You can download custom SMS from cydia. If you want to use your own you will needto SSH them to your phone in System/Library/Audio/UISounds. You will need to replace one of the existing tones for it to work by naming your tone the same as the one you wish to replace it with, e.g. sms-received6.caf. Remember to back up the original of you wish to get it back...

If you have a mac, download "iphone explorer" from the app market. You can make custom ringtones and sms tones and drop them right into the stock folders

Yeah I did it. I SSH'd into root>library>ringtones and replaced the ringtones. I imported my old .mp3 ringtones into itunes, changed them to aac then changed that file ending (which was m4a) to m4r. For the SMS tones i SSH'd into root>system>audio>uisounds then again i imported an mp3 in except this time i changed the import settings to aiff and converted. Dragged that to my desktop, changed the name to sms-received4.caf.aif then edited the .aif off so it was just .caf and replaced it into the sms tones. All done! Thanks guys, that was too simple.
