Changing the SMS notification sound

[Dana C.]

Hi bananahackers,

On my Smartflip it doesn't seem to honor a changed notification sound for when I receive a SMS message. Has anyone been able to figure out why that is? I thought maybe it's hardcoded into system.gaiamobile.org or sms.gaiamobile.org, but no luck finding it yet. I would like to be able to change it! I did a quick google search and no luck finding anyone with any answers on how to change it.

You use the explorer app for changing
 notice ringtone easily
.but maybe can't change sms tune without omnisd

Yes, I can change the notice tone in the settings app, but it doesn't apply to SMS apparently. Can omnisd change the SMS tone?

Aha, found it yall!

It appears to be hardcoded in sms.gaiamobile.org, in js/activity_handler.js, so you can just put the file you want into sounds/ and then point it towards it in activity_handler.js.

I have absolutely no idea why on earth they didn't implement using the system selected sounds like every other notification, but here we are.
