installer.app SMS message change?

[iPhonatic]

I've done about 30 minutes of searching these forums, and google, for a way to change the MMS message alert. The only result I found was through ifuntastic, which i don't want to use. What files do I need to change so I can get a different MMS sound?

The iPhone does not support MMS messages.

Thats actually exactly what I was looking for, thanks.

Can I just replace that file with an mp3?

Maybe... I'll have to test when I get home tonight.

no has to be a .caf file

i guess export the mp3 to aiff and aiff to caf in quicktime pro, ive done this before, but forgot how...

or rename the .aiff to .caf

Just did some exploring with the finder App. I do not have an "Audio" section under library. The only thing I could find was library/sms/sms.db which i think is a database file. I also have a "ringtones" folder which is completly empty.

You're in the wrong path.

Path:

/System/Library/Audio/UISounds/

i feel like a real schmuck here, but i cannot find "system" anywhere in the finder app. When i load it my options are Library, and Media. what am i doing wrong?

 

[The General]

Set "protect system files" to off. 🙂

 

[iPhonatic]

LOL.it's always the simple things. thanks, that worked.

 

[mdwsta4]

can i just rename an mp3 file caf and it will work? not sure what aiff is and don't have QTP.
