I don't mind the notification, I choose to have it on, but I don't need a damn song, a simple ding will do.
Can I redirect that to a different sound?
Can I replace the existing "song" with a renamed new sound? (what is the name of that "song"?)
I am rooted.

:? im really confused adding new ringtones is peice of cake but how do u actually add a custom text message alert tone in? if anyone knows please could you tell me thankyou
just put the custom wav file into the windows folder, and then you can select that sound from sounds and notifications within the settings area of the xda. Just select that sound for new SMS message

Nope, the new wav-file doesn't show up in the selection box... How did you do it again..?
I want to change the message notification to the "droid" sound and alrerady have it d/l to my phone. Is there a way to enable it using the stock messaging app?
Redownload the sound from the Zedge application (They have every sound you can imagine, they'll have yours) go into messages, click the menu button, scroll down to "select ringtones" and select Zedge. Click the tone you downloaded and you're set.
Alternatively you could use something like Root Explorer and move the file to your system>media>audio>notification folder. I ripped the entire audio folder from one the other Vibrant roms and moved it over using this method.
Is there any way to change the notification sound for text messages to a .wma file I copied to my SD card? When I go into the settings to change the text message notification sound, the sound I want to use doesn't show up amongst the possible choices. However, if I go into the menu to change my ringer sound, the five .wma files I placed in a folder I created (named "Ringtones") on my SD card DO show up. How can I make them appear amongst the text message alert choices? Is there any possible way to do this?
Thanks,
Dennis
Nevermind - I figured it out! I just placed the file in the "Media" folder (I think that's what it was). Now, it shows up in my alert sounds list.

how to set mp3 or ogg files as text message notification?
my mob is rooted on latest stock fw, i did put my ogg file in system/media with root explorer with permisions set correct but stock tones only work after selecting my new tone. new one will not play?
any apps to bypass this..
basicly i have a r2d2 soundboard app from the market that lets me select ringtone/notifications. battery low tone works and sounds wiked buts texts dont. so i tried to manualy move the .ogg to the system notifications folder and set permisions, but like i said.. it wont play. stock tone replaces it.
i want R2D2 becuase it fits with my droid. nuff said
How about Settings > sound > Notification ringtone? I'm using CM7 so im not sure if that applies for u, havent used stock rom for ages.
I use GO sms so it comes with a sound choser, I can select any of my sound files that are available in the phone/sd card using it.
P.S. There are no stupid questions, only stupid people. xD (quote from southpark)
yes i have Settings > sound > Notification ringtone. but after selecting R2D2, it will will be a stock tone when a text comes thru. i didnt want any apps as i thought i could do it with root explorer.
No need for any app buddy.
make folder in your sd card like media/audio
And for custom notifications, make a folder inside audio called notifications and for ringtones,make one called ringtones.
so it will look like media/audio/ringtones or notifications.
Hope that helps..!!
Yup, as side_effect said. But for some reason notifications are played quieter than tones, so if you have a program like Audacity on your desktop you should increase the volume of the track before you put it on your SD Card.
Why the hell does this change all the time?? Every damn time I want to change the sound notification it's either moved or I can't find it and it turns into a 20-minute ordeal to find it every single time. Where in God's name can I change the sound notification for the Twitter app? It's not inside the Twitter application unless it's very well hidden. It's not under aps inside the settings. Where does this always get moved and hidden??

I would first check in the app itself. If the app has no option to set a special notification sound, you may have to use the system's notification sound.
Settings - Sounds and vibration - Notification sound.
