iOS 4.2 Beta 3: New SMS Tones [English] +Pics

[iSaxon]

In the most recent beta version of iOS 4.2, we are allowed to choose from a bunch of new SMS tones. They aren't really that great, but at the bottom, it says "None" in a section separated from the rest of the SMS tones. I think that this is going to list the custom SMS tones, which won't be available until a new iTunes is released.

The new SMS Tones are soooooo bad. They're way too long.

I agree, but at least by the looks of it, we will be able to make custom ones!

That's be really awesome, but what makes you say that?

To each their own I suppose. I think they're pretty nice, and a nice change. Luckily, you have the choice to use them or not.

Look at the 'None' in the bottom of the last picture. I feel like custom ringtones will be listed where it says 'None'.

As you probably already realized, "none" means no sms sound will play when a text comes in.

Yes, I did unfortunately. I guess I just had my mind set on custom SMS! haha

The sad part is, you may be correct.

The current 'none' option is part of the list and at the top.

So why did they move it to the bottom? Why did they separate it out into its own list? Will they be changing it before 4.2 is out? If so, to what? And why was it temporarily changed? And if it's not temoporary, why the change to something less user-friendly?

I've got far too many questions for me to be as certain of anything as you seem to be.

Does anyone know where the SMS ringtones are stored in the new OS? I tried the old trick of replacing one of the existing tones with one of my own, but I couldn't locate the proper folder (/Library/Themes). If you have any idea, please let me know.

This OS upgrading and then the jailbreak etc, it's becoming a pain. Setting up your phone all over again is not something I look forward to.
