New text alerts not working properly

[draminicaus]

I have an iphone4 jailbroken with Greenpois0n. I used the iphonebrowser to overwrite the old text alerts in /system/library/audio/UIsounds/... and replaced them with new sounds.

I made the alerts through itunes with the "Create AAC version" option and changed the file extension to .caf

I renamed the files as sms-received2.caf, rebooted, but now my phone won't even play them. Did I do something wrong?

How big are the files? I think for SMS the length limitation Apply. I would recommend using ToneFX to automate this process.

1 to 3 seconds long. The biggest one is 52KB. What's the largest a text alert can be?

For SMS ringtones, you have to create AIFF version. AAC is for normal call ringtones.
Go to itunes>preference>import setting>AIFF and try again

So, I create an AIFF version and then rename it to .caf? I didn't think that made a difference. Thanks for clearing that up.

Yes, I missed that, you said ACC and not AIFF. The source file need to be AIFF before you change the extension to .caf

Awesome!!

Alright! That worked. Now then, master guru's of the iphone's innards, what requirements does a picture need in order to use it as a slider image?

You don't need another thread, there are several thread already about it, I don't remember the dimensions from the top of my head, but a quick search will give you the answer.

There aren't any specific file extensions or source file types?
