In the normal HTC Touch Pro settings, its impossible to change the incoming SMS tune (as far as I know), and i couldnt find any good software to change it.
After some poking around with the registry editor I found a solution.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\{A877D65B-239C-47a7-9304-0D347F580408}
Now you're supposed to see the options for Messaging: New text message
down the list you'll see 'wave', by editing the value of Wave you can set the file you want to use as your incoming SMS tune.
Hope it works for you, and PLEASEPLEASEPLEASE dont do anything if it says something else than Messaging: New text message.
setting/ sounds and notifications, select incomming new text, choose sound from drop list. tunes are plced in windows root for sms

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
convert your sound to a *.wma or *.wav file, then copy to windows directory.
then follow the steps from our friend, bod001.

My TP2 stopped making any notification of incoming text messages or e-mails. I thought that incoming e-mail/ sms was controlled by the sound control, and that when we turned single volume off, we were setting one volume for ringing and another for system.
Silly me, I thought that System was e-mail and SMS message. But it looks like it is only things like low battery. Am I correct?
Where the heck is the control for e-mail volume. Also, I am trying to make distinctive rings for some individual e-mails. I have been able to go into an individual contact, edit contact, and then go to ringtones. But will that give me an individual ringtone when they call, or can I also get an individual alert when they text or e-mail me.
Then net of my problem now is that e-mail reception is silent. Then when I get the sound back I want to know if it is possible to get individual alerts.
Thanks.
Settings>Sound>Advanced>
make sure Events and Program Notifications are checked.. and go into Notofications and go through the pull down menu and make sure new email and new txt and new mms have sounds selected and checked "play sound"
Thanks. I did not make it deep enough into Notifications.

I am on infused 2.1.0 and have a question about sms notification
I cannot find anywhere an option to change the text message notifcation sound.
The one that the phone uses now is too short and very hard to hear even with the volume jacked.
I LOVE this phone and glad I got rid of my iphone but the sms notification is just so very poor in terms of sound quality compared to the iphone
thanks for the help
Messaging uses the default notification sound if I remember correctly. From your home screen tap the Menu button then tap Settings > Sound > Notification ringtone then select something that is louder. Trust me. The phone comes with plenty of ways to get your attention
thanks for the post. Notifications will allow me to change the sound for say an incoming email but there is nothing that will allow me to change the one for a text????
Not with the default Messaging app. It's coded to use the "global" notification ringtone. If you want to pick a specific notification sound for your SMS messages you'll need to use a different app for SMS messages (which will give you A LOT more features than the standard Messaging app anyway). I like Handcent SMS but other people seem to like Chomp SMS too. Give it a shot. The apps are free and easy to use.
ok are you using the infused ROM? when I go to notifications, the sound I choose is for email but the SMS is totally different !!!!!!!!
Nah, I'm using CM7 at the moment. If I'm wrong that's my bad but I coulda swore Messaging used the default notification ringtone. If Messaging actually uses its own settings for a notification ringtone it has to be somewhere in Messaging's settings menu.
Open up the stock messaging app. Press menu, settings, scroll all the way to the bottom, and the last option is select ringtone.

I'm running KelLMSKing MIUI and wondering if there's a way to set a custom notification sound for a contact? Or if anyone can recommend an app that allows it? I had the option when I had a CM7, but now I can't remember if it was CM7 specific or Go Contacts that I was using that enabled it.
And even cooler would be if there is a way to set a default notification sound for contacts not in the address book.
Any ideas?
Isn't that a stock feature of the contacts app?
Start the app, contacts tab, choose a contact by clicking hte name, press menu button, "options", choose ringtone.
Oops, sorry I should have been more clear. I mean a text message notification, not ringtone.
There are different SMS apps in the market.
Handcent SMS can do what you wish. An alternative is GoSms Pro.
Ahh, it was a feature of Go SMS that I used to have. I just installed Handcent (since I've already tried Go) and found the option to change the notification sound for a contact.
I was hoping there would be a way to set a notification sound for contacts not in my address book, but there doesn't seem to be. In other words, have a default sound for everyone, I can customize it for some, and a different sound for someone I don't know. Mostly so that I can set it so that texts from Facebook will sound different, and can be ignored.
As a workaround, I will try adding all of facebook's numbers as they come in to a contact.
Thanks for pointing me to Handcent!
EDIT: It's a terrible workaround. Even though I can add all the 326-123-45 numbers from facebook into one contact, Handcent assigns the custom sms notification to the number, not the contact. So then I'll have to go through and edit the notification for each one anyway.
So now I'm still looking for a way to assign a custom notification sound to unknown contacts.
I have a 12 Lite, but I'm guessing this might be similar for all 12 models.
I'm using the standard Google Messages app, and I like to set different sound notifications for text messages from certain contacts. So to start, I go into the main Messages settings area, then Notifications, Incoming Messages, and set a universal ringtone sound we'll call "A". So far so good. Then I go into a conversion I want to make unique, hit the three dots, Details, Notifications, and change the Sound to ringtone "B".
Problem is, changing to ringtone "B" for a specific contact also goes back and changes it to "B" for the universal ringtone for everybody. Then if I go back to re-set the universal ringtone to "A", it also overwrites the specific one I had set for my unique contact. I can't keep them separate.
I've also tried doing this from the main Settings app, and it behaves the same way (I think they both end up in the same place anyhow)
Has anyone successfully set unique text notification sounds for specific contacts?
