Hi All,

How can i change sms-received6.caf to Cosmic.caf in the Sounds menu for the "New Test Messgaes" As it say Electronic and i want it to say Cosmic.

Thank you

Tippy

Thanks theone77, that was simple and painless.

It's a pitty that iBrickr doesn't do the full job.

When I converted my audio file, iBrickr uploaded it to my iPhone to the correct directory as sms-received.caf but not accessible via Settings > Sounds > New Text Message. It was a simple matter to rename one of the other files via WinSCP (to back it up on the phone, e.g. sms-received4.caf to sms-received4.ORIG), then rename the new sound file to sms-received4.caf...

A reboot and now my Horn is catching Sonic Hedgehog rings!

Tippy, to change the label that is displayed in Setting > Sounds > New Text Message...

1. Download the Sounds.strings file from /Applications/Preferences.app/English.lproj on the iPhone to you computer
2. Run that file through the converter at http://140.124.181.188/~khchung/cgi-bin/plutil.cgi
3. This will allow you to open it with a text editor (use Wordpad on Windows not Notepad so it displays nicely)
4. Over-type the label that corresponds to the sound file that you replaced with your preferred label, e.g. change Electronic to Cosmic
5. Save the file and upload it back to the iPhone (best make a backup of the original file first)
6. Reboot and you're done!

It doesn't matter that you've converted the file to edit it, but not converted it back - the iPhone doesn't care.

Hmm... Not sure.

The filename of your custom sound should be sms-received6.caf and in the Sounds.strings file you've changed Electronic to Cosmic, yes?.. And you've rebooted the phone?...

Hi there,

Done all that.. Still not working.

Thank you

Hello and greetings to all!

I have an iPhone 3gs jailbraked by redsnow 0.8 and unlocked by ultrasnow 0.8. So fare so good. Now i am trying to customize my sms sounds.
I readed many posts here and did alot of things, but i can't get more than 6 sms received sounds on my iphone. i saw also the songs.string file, but there i can't find any <integer>...</...> only the <alternate_number></...>. I also converted the file with, Binary &mdash; XML .plist converter - iAppCat

But seems not necesary, cause i have also: PlistEdit Pro, and i am on a mac.

So my principal question is, how to ad more sms sounds into my iphone, greetz
