Adding custom text message sounds to your iphone

For this work your phone must be jailbroken.

  1. Open itunes and go into preferences.
  2. Under the general tab click the import settings button and change import using to aiff encoder.
  3. Right click your text message sound (add the sound to your library if you haven’t already) and go to create aiff version.
  4. Rename the file to sms-received6.caf (if you need it).
  5. Using whatever method you want put the file into your iphone under /System/Library/Audio/UISounds/ (i use iphone explorer). Overwrite the old file.
  6. On your phone go to your text message sound settings and click the last text message sound. You should recognize it.
