Over the past several weeks Cydia has been flooded with ringtone packages which is awesome! I'm wondering if the same principal could be used to write programs to add sounds to text messages.

Hmmm, I believe you could be onto something.

you have no idea how bad i want this feature. SOOOOOO bad.. and im about to get my iphone too.

[Poseidon79]

Pleeeeeeeeeeeeease

[cricketlang]

AAAAGGGHHH I WANT IT FIRST!!!!!! hahahaha

Not to shamlessly plug myself by my package iToons Complete features replacement SMS sounds... :P

[cricketlang]

really.......hmmmmmm. i will have to look into this.

It replaces sms-received1 "Tri-Tone" and the sent/received sounds you hear in the app.

Since there's such a "market" for text tones let me ask. Do you guys want actual tones (beeps, chimes, etc) or like song snippets?

[Simtech]

... i use iBrickr to change my sms tones.
still works with 2.1

[cricketlang]

im looking for song snippets to assign to particular people when they send me a text. probably not going to get that but if i could at least get a song snippet as an alert tone i would be happy

[AKA_Ben]

I did that for a friend actually - worked out fine. What song snippets would you want in a pack of six?

[cricketlang]

what did you use to make the snippets, what format are they in, and how do you assign them? is it via a hack or through an app?

I would love it if when I recive a text it would sound like an old school pager

hahahaha. i was thinking for one of my "people" that i would do like a chicken sound...BGOK! i think that would be pretty sweet myself

Its easily done through Winterboard. I edited my files using Audacity and Garageband, exported to .aif renamed to .caf and boom. Making it a WB package keeps things safe and nondestructive also allowing users to have multiple choices for SMS tones without replacing the stock file.
