Hey guys, I was going to get a custom SMS tone because everyone I know uses tri-tone. I was wondering, what are your favorites SMS tones that you're using on your iPhone?
 
I use the mgs codec sound, but I still can't figure out a good ringtone to use though.
 
Here are four of my custom SMS tones

The other 2 were too large to upload.

What are your other 2 custom sms tones may I ask? I am trying to find the perfect one but I just can't. It's hard to replace tri-tone because I've had it for so long lol and I am used to it. But whenever I am anywhere with a lot of people, I hear that tone only to find that I didn't get the text message but another iPhone user did.

Just a couple of tones I converted to .caf files.

There are literally hundreds of SMS sound files/tones to be found on the Internet, you just have to convert them.
 
Yeah I know I've been doing that but I just can't find the right tone. I wanted to see what other iPhone owners were using to see if I would like it lol.
 
i use the MGS Codec tone myself. I also have the Power Rangers Wrist Communicator Tone, that melody is so nasty lol. reminds me of my childhood
 
My favorite has always been R2-D2, but I have yet to Jailbreak my iP4. (I'm a fanatic if you couldn't tell).
 
i used to have the sound when mario jumps on the trampoline, but now i use the quote from "Don't be a Menace..." when one Wayan's brother pops in the window and says "MESSAGE!"

Thanks for uploading these tones - just added them to my phone. Is there a quick and easy way to change the springboard strings so the custom names show up in Settings?
 
Transformers (transforming sound) SMS found on Cydia w/ WB

Pretty loud, always catches my ear :)
 
Im using a package from cydia that has some sounds from Step Brothers. I'm mainly using it because A) It's awesome, and B) It's my package. :D

Yes, you have to edit a strings file
I'm not in front of my Mac and that's where my notes are at.
I will post it tomorrow in this thread.
