====== Custom iPhone SMS Tones ======

There are many, many how-tos on this subject, these are just my notes.

===== Phone Prep =====

  - Jailbreak phone
  - Install Cydia
  - Install BossPrefs
  - Install OpenSSH
<code>
Important Note for ssh: 
username - root
password - alpine
</code>
===== Tone Prep =====

  - Change iTunes import to AIFF
  - Edit mp3 file to selected length
  - Add shortened mp3 file to iTunes Library
  - Right-click on file and choose "Create AIFF Version"
  - Drag new version out of iTunes
  - Rename new files to sms-received#.caf where # is 1-6

===== Copy to Phone =====

  - Create backup of existing sms-received files in /System/Library/Audio/UISounds/
  - scp new files to that directory
  - Restart iPhone
===== Tones =====
Backup of original files in {{:iphone_sms.zip|this archive.}}

The 3 Animal Collective/Panda Bear tones I'm currently using are in {{:smstones.tgz|this archive.}}  They are sure to wake you up (and maybe give you a heart attack) when you get a systems page in the middle of the night.
