Changing the SMS Notification on iPhone

[Zabumafu]

Okay well I am a big texter and I receive alot of text messages so this one interests me and I am going to do some experiementing when I get my macbook back online. Didnt realize boot camp takes this long (4 hours and counting).

Anyways there are reports of people changing the notification with Fugu but only for 4-5 seconds and they are not able to add it but only able to modify the old ones. They cannot change the name but are able to place a file in its place instead.

I am wondering if anyone is able to get like a 10-15 second ringtone for sms notifications. Here is what I was told to do, I am going to try it later when my Macbook is online and I can use Fugu.

I'm not quite sure how to change the display text next to the sounds but I am able to replace the tones with my own.

This is what worked for me

This is a guide how to change the SMS ringtones on your 1.1.1 iPhone on a Mac Please note that I tried this with no longer than 5 seconds long files. If somebody tries it with a longer one - please post here with the result.

I'm using Switch to convert mp3 to aiff (here's the link - http://www.nch.com.au/components/switchmac.zip ).

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

Looks like it will work I will post back with results in a few days when my mac is back. But if anyone wants to try this before please do.
