Create your own, same as you create any ringtone. There are even 2 huge threads for sharing ringtones, and several discussing the best ways to make them.
anyone know where to find sms tones online?
Thanks for the guides both of you! Will this work on new mail tone? (obviously the file paths will be different I can figure those out for my self) but will the rename/ replace scheme work for the tone?
Thanks!
Actually, there's a simpler way that I've been messing with.
You need to create the system SMS tones. This also works with all system sounds.
SSH into your themes folder (/Library/Themes), and create a folder. It can be called anything. I call mine "Custom UI Sounds).
So the path should read:
/Library/Themes/Custom UI sounds
Once again, that's just an example of a folder.
INSIDE the folder you created, create another folder called "UISounds". So the path should read:
/Library/Themes/Custom UI Sounds/UISounds
in this folder, place all the system sounds you created. They must be named correctly though, so if you want to "replace" a SMS tone, you need to name it "sms-received1.caf" - "sms-received5.caf". (It allows me to rename the 1st one)
Then, respring.
Open Winterboard. Enable your new "Theme" (Custom UI Sounds).
Respring.
Voil?.
All sounds are overridden by Winterboard.
It should go into your already existing Library/Themes folder, not stash. In other words, the file path looks wrong--open up your filesystem and look for the Library folder; the Themes folder should be in that. (If you have Winterboard installed, it should already have some themes inside of it.) Inside of that Themes folder, create the Custom UI Sounds/UISounds folder, then carry on as above.
Ok, will try that. Thank you!
I put a check mark next to "Custom UI Sounds" and hit respring. THEN nothing.......I still see only the original 6 tones. Does having BiteSMS installed interfere with this procedure?
