Hi there guys just wondered if anyone got stuck on Step 8: Launch Fugu from your Applications???
I dont really understand it, if someone could explain what it is and how to get it and use it?? Ive got a 32gb 3gs jailbroken iphone and up until no 8 was doing ok then i got stuck. Any help would be great, i've got talking alerts but something else apart from the boring standard alert would be wicked. -
Odd my Droid does that really easily
-
ya we all know Droid does that very easily... Apple customers does not like easy stuff!! :P

Hey Steve, just use "iphone Browser" application. Google it, and you will find it. or some sort of a program to view the file system on the iphone. Then just copy the newly created file to the location specified. Fugu is just an application to use ssh, you can find it by googleing it. you can use other applications too. Depends if you are using windows are mac.
hope this helps!

Yeah the phone does everything under the sun, it practically jerks you off after making u breakfast but god forbid we can customize anything but the wallpaper

What a troll! Please go troll somewhere else. I already found way too many post about you hanging on the droids nuts all around this website.

didn't work, nothing changed
-
Why not just use "AnyRing" from Cydia ?
-
is there a size limit on this? cause i tried it, the "electronic" tone doesnt even make a sound anymore so are the text messages if i choose this tone. :/ the sound file is 45MB+
-
Just curious if this would work with changing any of the other sounds on the iphone. I have not tried it yet but will soon. I was just wondering if anyone else has changed them or tried
-
I am too excited to use it for my iphone. I think it's the one of the coolest feature I had ever seen for iphone. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Hi ya m8 cheers for the info, from what i've read fugu is for mac users , i use win scp.
Regards Steve

Or ToneFXs, you can change every sound on your iPhone with a few clicks. It's not free, but having my SMS say "Priority one message incoming from Starfleet Headquarters on secure Channel" is pretty awesome. You pay for ToneFXs, then the sound packages are all over Cydia for free.
-
And you still have your default files. No SSH, no command line, no Mac(Fugu) needed.
And they have a new desktop product that will create your own tone packages. Cool.

It didn't work for me either. All I ended up with is ONE of the six original alerts. So, I am worse off than I was before. Tried it half a dozen times.

Hey there potna. I need some help with this SMS tone thing. I got stuck on step 8 and I tried downloading fugu on my iPhone but it won't allow me. Can u please help?
-

can ANYONE tell us which file to alter in the root folder to change how the "name" of the file appears in the sounds list? I want to change the name "electronic" to "yoda" as I have already changed the sound, but can't change the name.....
Can't find this information anywhere on the web so far....

Worked great with iPhone 4... For step 8, I used iPhone Browser. Thanks
