Seperate SMS Tones for Each Contact

Ikyo · 06:55 PM

I have corrected the issue with the phone screen being off and no tones coming in. If you previously had the patch installed, please do the following to update.

Code:

mount -o remount,rw /
cd /
quilt pop -a -f
quilt delete /opt/src/patches/contacttone.patch
quilt delete /opt/src/patches/contact-multitone.patch
cd /opt/src/modifications
git pull
cd /
quilt import /opt/src/modifications/messaging/contact-multitone.patch
quilt import /opt/src/modifications/contacts/contacttone.patch
quilt push -a -f
reboot

The patch adds and additional field to all of your contacts. It is a MsgTone field. Once this field is set, it will play that tone when any SMS message comes in from that contact. If the contact doesn't have a MsgTone set, it will go to the global default message tone set in Sounds and Alerts. If there isn't one there, it will just play the alert tone like stock.

If you have the messaging-sounds.patch installed, you must remove this first. To do this, you do the following:

Code:

cd /
quilt pop -a -f
quilt delete /opt/src/patches/messaging-sounds.patch

If you plan on using the message forwarding patch, it must be installed AFTER these patches. As long as you install it after, they both can co-exist. The easiest way to do this is:

Code:

cd /
quilt pop -a -f
cd /opt/src/modifications
git pull
cd /
quilt import /opt/src/modifications/messaging/message-forwarding.patch
quilt push -a -f
quilt pop -a -f

Then you can run my patches with no issues.

If you don't have that installed, please do the following:

Code:

cd /
quilt pop -a -f
cd /opt/src/modifications
git pull
cd /
quilt delete /opt/src/patches/contact-multitone.patch
quilt import /opt/src/modifications/messaging/contact-multitone.patch
quilt import /opt/src/modifications/soundsandalerts/message-tone-sounds-and-alerts.patch
quilt import /opt/src/modifications/contacts/contacttone.patch
quilt push -a -f

initctl stop LunaSysMgr && initctl start LunaSysMgr

That should install the patches that you need. I will post screenshots of the contact changes as soon as I get some together.

*** Reporting Issues / Errors ***
Please send me the following in a PM and PM only:

Code:

cat /var/log/messages |grep com.palm.app.messaging

**** If you are not familiar with patching, please read this link and think twice about installing beta/alpha applications ****

Awesome work! I was hopin' someone would do this...I haven't rooted my phone yet but I'm gonna be up all night doin' it. Thanks...will test later.

SundayDuffer · 08/28/2009, 01:48 AM

cool feature. thx.

fritos1406 · 08/28/2009, 01:54 AM

great job Ikyo

Veritas06 · 08/28/2009, 01:58 AM

Looks great, can't wait to give it a try =]

fritos1406 · 08/28/2009, 02:00 AM

so does it play the whole sound or does it only play the sound up to the point where the messaging app is opened?

Ikyo · 08/28/2009, 02:02 AM

It plays the entire sound. So if you select a 30 minute mp3, have fun

andyckr · 02:34 AM

Thanks!!!
It worked!

awesome ! i just set a 50 min. ringtone lol jk

i like this new feature! well done
at least now i know who is texting me when the tone is played

hmagoo · 02:56 AM

what about the clean-messenger-timestamps patch?

what is the procedure if any for using that patch in conjunction with these?

thanks for your work.
edit: looks like they don't patch the same files so I'm going to try it out.

works awesome!! congrats on patching three different "apps"!!

Ikyo · 08/28/2009, 07:36 AM

I only did two, but wanted to include the third because it is such a great patch. I know that I hated not having a seperate SMS tone when I got the phone.

cdbillups · 08/28/2009, 08:19 AM

How easy is this to undo when / if Palm ever adds this function?

Ikyo · 08/28/2009, 08:56 AM

easy

cdbillups · 08/28/2009, 08:59 AM

I assume I'd just do something like this but substitute the name of the 3 patches in there.

cd /
quilt pop -a -f
quilt delete /opt/src/patches/messaging-sounds.patch

Implemented the patches. Now you wouldn't happen to have a way to set individual tones for each of my email accounts would you?

Ikyo · 08/28/2009, 09:30 AM

Not yet, but I will take a look at it and see what can be done.

Ikyo · 08/28/2009, 09:39 AM

It won't be that easy to do because their is a field that could be used, but it is set as an integer. I wouldn't want to change it because it could effect a lot of other things. I will do some more digging on it later on.

cdbillups · 08/28/2009, 09:59 AM

If separate sounds for each email account is too hard, is just a different sound for emails do-able? Like the messaging sound?

Ikyo · 08/28/2009, 11:38 AM

I will see what I can get worked up. Finishing up a readall/deleteall function for email now.

cdbillups · 08/28/2009, 01:46 PM

I installed the patches but something isn't working right. On the Sound preferences page there's an option for the messages sound. I've set that. I didn't set any of the users messaging sounds thinking that if they weren't set they'd use the default. I've missed 3 text messages so far. I get no sound and no vibrate when a text is received. What did I do wrong? Is there a way to reset everything and try again?

Ikyo · 08/28/2009, 01:53 PM

You can pop the patches you installed. Did you set it to something short? Don't install the contacttone patch. Just install the sound and multitone. See if you get alerts with it.
