Hi ALL!

[Cassy]

it used to let me and i had it to set to a borat sound. so get this if my phone is any other screen than sms it uses the standard sms recieved tone. but if i have sms opened and i recieve a text it plays the sound i had set in customize which i can no longer change so explain that one.

Same thing is happening to me too.

The reason it doesn't work is because of how post 1.0.2 names SMS ringtones, due to the fact that there is more than one. All that is needed is to add one character of code within customize.

Fixed my problem on 1.1.1.

[jakecigar]

in the shell type:

cd /System/Library/Audio/UISounds/ # the tones
mv sms-received6.caf sms-received7.caf # get #6 out of the way
ln -s sms-received.caf sms-received6.caf # fake out #6 with a symlink

and choose text message sound Electronic in Settings.

now you have off the shelf customize working for the sms received sound!

Fixed my problem on 1.1.1.

This worked for me ...i also recommend the already said ...use sms-received4.caf since that's the uggly Horn sound ...oh, and choose it on Settings.

Here is the guide posted by MMI member, Ridge (I used iTunes to convert the files though and WinSCP to put it in my phone):

Step 1. Choose the file you want and convert it with Switch to .aiff.
Step 2. Use Fugu to ssh into the iPhone. Go to /System/Library/Audio/UISounds.
Step 3. Find the files sms-received$.caf, where $ stands for 1, 2, 3 til 6 and choose one of them. In my case I am using sms-received6.caf, because I don't like the Electronic ringtone anyway Make a back-up of this file on your computer.
Step 4. Now you have to rename the file that you created in step 1 to the same name as the file you have chosen in step 3 - in my case sms-received6.caf (Be sure you change the file extension as well and not make it sms-received6.caf.aiff).
Step 5. Using again Fugu put the newly renamed file into the same dir (/System/Library/Audio/UISounds) and restart the iPhone.
Step 6. Now in Settings -> Sounds change the New Text Message sound to the one you just put in (in my case I have to pick the Electronic one) and you are good to go.

And here is which file corresponds to which name:
sms-received1.caf -> Tri-tone
sms-received2.caf -> Chime
sms-received3.caf -> Glass
sms-received4.caf -> Horn
sms-received5.caf -> Bell
sms-received6.caf -> Electronic

I followed all that perfectly. I also followed this link....http://code.google.com/p/customize/issues/detail?id=226

but it still doesnt work for me on 1.1.1

?????

Finally got this to work. I now have my own SMS sounds.

Silly me was not using a file converter program. I was just renaming the file to .caf which wasnt fully converting it

[sune]

What program did you use to convert your new sms sound file into a .caf file...?

Thx

[scooby]

Convert the files to .aiff with this...

then rename the file to .caf by right clicking on it and click rename.

Just an FYI

Customize **WILL** change sms sounds if you have the latest version on 1.1.2... at least it does for me.

They released a new version about 3 days ago.

You can also have the SMS tones as long as you want... I have a 30 second Angels and Airwaves clip.

You have to use uncompressed AIFF format, and put your own custom sounds in the customize folder application audio files folder.

If anyone needs help PM me, and I'll make a post.

it used to let me and i had it to set to a borat sound. so get this if my phone is any other screen than sms it uses the standard sms recieved tone. but if i have sms opened and i recieve a text it plays the sound i had set in customize which i can no longer change so explain that one.

Does anyone know how to fix this problem, because it happened to me too. I already updated my customize to 1.21, so i can now get into 'received sms' under sound systems, but it still makes the old sound that i set it to before updating to 1.21 when I am currently in sms. I don't even have that sound set installed anymore, but it still makes that sound. I'm not sure if i'm making sense, so i'll try explaining the situation better.

I had customize on my phone (the version right before the new updated 1.21); and I installed the videogame sound set. I set the sms received sound to a zelda sound, and decided i didn't want it anymore, but couldn't get back into 'sms received' in cusomize because it would just take me to the springboard. So, I uninstalled the videogame sound set, but that zelda noise still comes through, ONLY when I am currently in the sms application. If I am on any other screen or application, I get the default tri-tone when I get a text. So since then, I've updated to the new version 1.21, and I am able to now get into 'sms received', and I don't have any sound sets installed at all, but it still makes that zelda noise when I'm on the sms screen. I tried uninstalling customize and re-installing, but same deal. Does anyone know how to fix this? I have an unlocked 1.1.1 iphone, using tmoile service.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance,
Cassy
