Blog-huh?

When it come to SSHing the iPhone’s Text Tone, I haven’t not yet discover adding Text Tone, but I just replace the Original Text Tone file with my preferred Text Tone Sound file.

NOTE: All throughout my SSHing with iPhone, I always use DiskAid. For Reasons, please read my “ Changing Slider Bar of iPhone”.

First Step: Prepare file/files that you want to use as your Personal Text Tone.

Text Tone File Conversion: .AAC = .caf

You can convert the files by using iTunes:





iTunes> Preference> General> Importing Settings.


Then copy the .AAC file to a folder or at the Desktop, whichever you prefer. From the folder, change the file format “.aac” to “.caf”. You can simply do this by replacing the Extension Filename of “.aac” to “.caf”, just by typing. See Image below:



Now, your ready to SSH Text Tones!

Using DiskAid, connect iPhone and open to “Root Folder”.

Follow the Highlight structure of the Pictures below.




System> Library> Audio> UISounds> sms-received1.caf
(up to sms-received6.caf)

NOTE: Back Up a Copy of the Original Text Tone File/Files to you MAC.

From the Folder/ Desktop (of your Converted Text Tone file/files), replace the Filename of the Personal Text Tone to one of the iPhone’s Original Text Tone Filenames.

Example: Change iPhone’s Original Text Tone “Bell” which has the Filename Structure of “sms-received5.caf”, Rename the Personal Text Tone filename to the Original File name Structure.

Copy or Drag the Personal Text Tone File to the location of the Sound File.




Click “Replace” when a Window Pop-Up.

And your DONE!

Check your iPhone's New Text Sound.

NOTE: If the selected Text Tone is not making any sound, check your converted file again. This might mean that your file name has the wrong “filename structure” or wrong “Filename Extension” or “Reboot Device”.
