SMS incoming notifications use the standard Windows Mobile Notifications system, so you can use any WAV file as a Notification.
Prepare your required Incoming SMS sound as a WAV file on your PC, then copy it to the MyDevice/Windows folder of the XDA.
Now open Start/Settings/Sounds & Notifications/Notifications and find the "Event" selection box. Find Message: New Text Message (or New SMS) in the list and select it. You then see the options with tick boxes. The Play Sound option has another dropdown, from where you can select any WAV file available.

Yes, this I know... But I want differentiate ringtones in agreement with phone number.
For example:
incomming SMS from +420603123456 - ringtoneA.wav
incomming SMS from +420598654321 - ringtoneB.wav
incomming SMS from +421800456654 - ringtoneC.wav
Do you get me?

Sorry- I misunderstood the question! I don't think anyone has developed a way to do this yet.

Editing tones for messages

Hi there.
I`ve bought like 2 months ago an XDA mini and i would like to change the tones for recieving messages.i tried to add the ringtones but failed.Can u pls tell me how i can add new ringtones for incoming messages.
Thank you

I assume you are talking about Notification Sounds? If so, you can do this by adding your sound files to the \Windows directory then under Settings -> NOtification Sounds you can change each notification sound to your personal preference. If the sound file is in the \Windows directory, it should appear in the dropdown list.

i dont think it works...i guess ringtones for incoming calls you can change....

What?! You changed the one under "Messaging: New text message", right? What do you mean by doesn't work. It shows in the setting page but when you receive an SMS, it doesn't produce the sound it suppose to give. Or you are not able to provide your very own customized sound?

No i`ve added the ringtones in /Windows ... and when i want to set up notifications .... i can see those ringtones when i`m setting incoming calls ... but when i want to setup incoming messages ... the ringtone doesn`t appear in the subfolder where the ringtones should be.

yup exactly...me too...

Oh. Ok, trythis.
Copy one of the WAV files (into your PC) that you are able to see from in the list of choices in Notification->Messaging:New SMS
Right click on it, "Properties"->"Summary"->"Advance" (in some cases, you maybe already in Advance).
You should see the BitRate, AudioSampleSize, Channels, AudioSampleRate, AudioFormat, of the WAV file.
Now, your job is to encode your customised WAV file with the EXACT values (you can easily do that with the Sound Recorder within windows).
Copy your encoded WAV into Windows, you should able to see now (you shouldn't require soft resetting the device).

Ringtones - can be MP3/WAV
Notifications Sounds - can be WAV/MID - NOT MP3 !
That is the most commonley made mistake - MP3s cannot be used as Notification Sounds! Just save them as WAV and put the as previously described in the Windows Folder and you are good to go!
Attached you will find a WAV File that 100% works on a MDA Vario ( Wizard )

Matza, of the top of my head the wav file should be 16bit and 22000hz or somink like that...
in simple the Wav file must be PCM Wav at a reducded quality for it to be used as SMS Ringtone

How do i change the sms sound on my exec?

Does anybody know how to change the sms sound. coz my friend got the MGS codec sound for his sms and i want it on my exec! It is soo cool!
thanks in advance

You need to convert to a wav file for sms, email anything bar ringtone.

Once converted would you be kind enough to tell me how to assign the file as the sms sound please

copy the files you want to use for SMS and alarm tones into your windows directory, they will then appear in your selections.

Goto Start -> System -> Sounds and Notifications -> Notifications [Tab] and look for "Messaging: New Text message" and you can select the sounds you want and whether or not to vibrate.

Seems the wav file had to go in the main windows directory to be recognised on the list.

Start > Settings > Sounds & Notifications > Notifications Tab
Tap the Event dropdown and choose "Messaging: New text message"
Make sure "Play sound" is ticked, and tap the dropdown to choose your sound.
Your MP3 filename *should* be there.
Tap the play button to test that it is the right one, then tap OK.
You now have an MP3 sound for your text notification.
