Is there a way to change os customize the sms sounds and the rest of the phone notifications? Any cydia app? Thanks
 
You can SSH into your phone and replace the actual sounds or you can make a Winterboard theme with the following directory structure:

YourTheme > UISounds > ...

In there you can put whatever sounds you wish to replace. The sound files are originally *.aiff with the extension changes to *.caf.


Here are the filenames you can replace:
Code:
alarm.caf
beep-beep.caf
begin_record.caf
begin_video_record.caf
ct-busy.caf
ct-call-waiting.caf
ct-congestion.caf
ct-error.caf
ct-keytone2.caf
ct-path-ack.caf
dtmf-0.caf
dtmf-1.caf
dtmf-2.caf
dtmf-3.caf
dtmf-4.caf
dtmf-5.caf
dtmf-6.caf
dtmf-7.caf
dtmf-8.caf
dtmf-9.caf
dtmf-pound.caf
dtmf-star.caf
end_record.caf
end_video_record.caf
jbl_ambiguous.caf
jbl_begin.caf
jbl_cancel.caf
jbl_confirm.caf
jbl_no_match.caf
lock.caf
long_low_short_high.caf
low_power.caf
mail-sent.caf
middle_9_short_double_low.caf
new-mail.caf
photoShutter.caf
ReceivedMessage.caf
RingerChanged.caf
SentMessage.caf
shake.caf
short_double_high.caf
short_double_low.caf
short_low_high.caf
SIMToolkitCallDropped.caf
SIMToolkitGeneralBeep.caf
SIMToolkitNegativeACK.caf
SIMToolkitPositiveACK.caf
SIMToolkitSMS.caf
sms-received1.caf
sms-received2.caf
sms-received3.caf
sms-received4.caf
sms-received5.caf
sms-received6.caf
sq_alarm.caf
sq_beep-beep.caf
sq_lock.caf
sq_tock.caf
Tink.caf
Tock.caf
unlock.caf
ussd.caf
Voicemail.caf

Either download winterboard then download the sounds from cydia, or ssh inot your phone. Might wanna do a search.
 
i really appreciate your replies. So i got Winterboard and now i would just have to search for what exactly, sms sounds? Thanks
 
System/Library/Audio/UISounds/

You will see six .caf files in there called sms-received1.caf thru sms-received6.caf. You need to replace these .caf files with your own .caf files.

You will see a .caf file in there called Voicemail.caf. You need to replace this .caf file with your own .caf file.

Don't know if E-mail can be changed ?

In order for you to get your .mp3 to a .caf file, you will need to do a little conversion.

Renaming alone will not do it with an MP3. conversion is necessary.

CAF is a renamed AIFF file (*.aif). AIFF is an uncompressed file (like a .WAV file).

iTunes can convert any file imported into an AIFF if you go into preferences/general/importing and select the AIFF encoder. Then just rename the file to the proper *.caf file you want to replace and SSH it to the phone.
 
Awesome! I really appreciate your help, great detail.

There's a category in cydia for sounds. I believe it is titled "Winterboard (sounds)" I can't remember for sure tho, but it's there. OR just do the ssh thing. I am not sure about how comfortable you are with computers. Using winterboard is easier, but ssh has more possibilities.
