Sick of that ubiquitous Samsung Android tone when you get an SMS? I am now using these nice alternative tones:

Sound is one of the first things I alter on my phone. All touch sounds get turned off, I set my alarm to Ramble On by Zep because it starts out nicely, and then I add a sound called Thunderfoot I got from another rom as my ringtone. For message tones I just go with the highest pitch I can because I work on noisy job sites and I need something I can hear.

I was at a site meeting this morning and the foreman has an emergency vehicle siren as his ringtone set to go really loud. Certainly got all our attention.

It scares the shit out of you at home though.
