[Q] All notifications use default notification sound

I recently decided that I'd like different sounds for my various app notifications, but found that regardless as to what I set them to, they always use the default notification sound. To clarify, my apps ( gmail, twitter, facebook, etc ) all allow me to change their sounds and the settings stay put, they just simply don't use the selected sound, but rather player the default instead.
I've tried using apps that help with setting sounds, didn't help. I tried only using default system sounds vs the ones I've added via Zedge, didn't matter. I've been searching on XDA and Google, but no luck. I'm currently running v3 of the Breakneck rom on an LG Vortex and would much appreciate any help.

Update
I flashed my phone to v4 of the breakneck rom this morning, so took the opportunity to see which app(s) was causing the problem. The fresh rom prior to installing any new apps does work with a default system wide sound and different individual app sounds. I didn't encounter the problem I mentioned above until I used Zedge to set my notification sound to one of the ones that I had downloaded through it. If I uninstall Zedge and go back to using default system sounds, they work again properly. But if I use one of the downloaded sound files, even with Zedge still uninstalled, it no longer allows individual apps to have their own sounds. I even tried converting the sound files over to OGG and moving them to the system notification folder, no dice. Any ideas?

If this problem still exist in the V2.4 of the Zedge app please let us know by using "feedback" in the app.
Then we will let one of our developers to take a look at it.

Thanks!
Thank you for the reply, but I'm not 100% sure that it's Zedge's fault. A friend of mine has the same phone and is running a stock rom AND is having no trouble with his Zedge sounds. I however, am having trouble with Zedge on my custom rommed phone. I've also sent a tweet over to the rom developer to see if he'd check things on his end.
Also, I am already running v.2.4.

New User Sound Question - How Do I Get My Sensation 4G To Play Custom Sounds?

I have some little custom .wav and .mp3 sounds I want to use for SMS and missed call alerts.
Can I do that? I see Sensation 4G only offering stock or downloaded sets of tones.
Also, is there an easy way to get it to play a notification sound more than once? Say, if an SMS came through it would chirp 3 times rather than once?
Thanks from someone new to Android, but enjoying it so far.

Try this: on your SD card, create a folder called audio and in it you can make
alarms
notifications
ringtones
ui (not sure if this one does anything anymore)
So if you want a new text message sound you would place
mysound.mp3 into E:\audio\notifications
I can't confirm it works on the Sensation, but it works on my Nexus One

Confirmed that it works on sensation. I just tried it with notifications, worked like a charm, thank you! That has been bugging me for a while.

[Q] G2x - Weapon 2.6 - Ringtone location?

I love the new Weapon 2.6, but it doesn't find any ringtones on my phone. No matter where I place them, the only option I have for ringtones and notifications is "silent." I searched the forums and found one other person asked this same question a couple of months ago, but received no response. So I figured I would try asking it again. For anyone using Weapon 2.6, where are your ringtone files located so that they show up in the list of choices? Thanks!

System/Media/Audio
You should find the folders within that file path. I'm on weapon 2.6 and all my notifications & ringtones are there.
Hope that helps.

You can also make a folder on your sdcard called media, and then put stuff under there. (So it'd be /sdcard/media/audio/ringtones.) That's the setup I use. I switch roms a lot, and it's a lot easier than constantly pushing my custom ringtones to the system partition every time I install a new rom.

Thanks for both of your suggestions. I could see the ringtones in the System/media/audio directory. And I could move them to the sdcard and see them in there. But when I would try to change my ringtone or notification sound, there was nothing listed except "silent." I fixed the permissions through recovery, and they now show up in my settings. Must have forgotten to do that when I originally flashed. But thanks to both of you for letting me know that I was completely crazy or completely stupid.

[Q] CM 10 and repeated ringtone titles?

Hi guys. I recently flashed my LG G2X (LGP999) from Wind's Froyo (2.2) to CM 10 using ClockworkMod and ROM Manager. Everything was going great till I noticed something odd. All of the default ringtones in this version of CyanogenMod, as well as my custom ringtones, are repeated in the ringtone menu. The same thing is happening with notification ringtones. Since I'm a new user, I can't post images from external links, so please bear with me.
Ringtones:

Notifications:

And I have another problem. Some of the default system sounds show up in Apollo, and I can't delete them from the app. Is there any way to remove stuff like camera_click.ogg from Apollo? On Wind's proprietary OS I was able to delete stuff from the Music app...

The default ringtones and notifications don't show up in the media or audio folders, and I tried deleting them from the audio folder via ASTRO File Manager but they're still in the ringtones menu... what gives? Why can't I delete them?
Another mini problem: the screen flickers a lot when I go into the gallery to view pictures, but other than that everything has been much smoother and better than 2.2.
If you could tell me how to delete the default ringtones and notifications (because I don't use them), as well as how to remove the default system sounds from Apollo, I'd be very grateful. Thank you.

I have the same problem. But mine is in CM9 and CM10

Which Zedge Version?

Hello. I used to own Galaxy S3 waaaaaaaay back.
I Used to use Zedge. Zedge had a feauture that you select a Phone and it would show you phone specific ringtones.
Now, i see that zedge disabled that feature. Such shame. Please help me
