Default Text Message Tone

Is there anyway to change the text message tone to one of the other notification sounds on the phone? I cannot find a way...

Open Messaging, then open the menu (leftmost soft button, beside the Home key) and go to settings. The option's in there, near the bottom.

add a folder called notifications to the /sdcard/ root.
put your WAV, MP3, whatever there and it will show up on the list of possible txt notification sounds

It's also possible to create custom ringtones/text message tones using ringdroid from the marketplace.

I have also had zero luck with adding custom tones to the list of available sms and email tones.

Do this then restart your phone, the notifications will then appear in the list.

This worked perfectly thanks a ton. It seems my mistake was naming my folder "sounds".

what worked for me was to create a folder on /sdcard/media/audio/ringtones (or /notifications or /alarm). Then when you place mp3's in there the media scanner will pick them up and put them in the list.
