So I accidentally selected an option to choose my ringtone and notification sound but there are no ringtones or notification sounds.
How can I reset the selection option so I can choose the right place to look for ringtones?
I have searched and this question was unanswered. Please help thank you.

You could get Zedge from the market and download/ set custom ringtones.
Or without wiping data, reflash your ROM if you're running a custom. That should reset it.

It's unclear to me what exactly you did, but if you selected an app to perform this that won't do it, you can go to settings > applications > manage applications and find that app and clear launch by default.

Did not work at all for both methods. I wan't to be able to select the ringtones in my /system/media/audio/ringtones as well as my /system/media/audio/notifications.
EDIT: Fixed my problem. Had to wipe data to fix this problem. Must of had a bad ROM flash the first time. But no FC's or problems with my music or ringtones.

Basically i went into menu>settings>sound>phone ringtone and selected the "don't ask me again" checkbox and accidently clicked on an option that wasn't for my default ringtones. So now when I go into that menu my only option is "Silent".
Phone is not on silent though I still have a ringtone its just a regular ringer that I don't like and is set for both notifications and phone ringtone.

Hello all,
I'm trying to change the sound notifications for SMS sent and delete confirm, on my O2 Orbit 2.
The options to change these sounds doesn't appear in settings > sounds and notifications.
I think these sounds are associated with the files Alarm1 and Alarm2 in the windows directory, but I can't edit / delete these at all? -Am I right in thinking I need an 'Application Unlock' to do this, if so, where from?
-or have I got completely confused!!?
Thanks for any help offered
Does no one have any ideas? I can't believe that!
...or am I being stupid and missed the option for this
Anyone?
Maybe I'm just missing a setting here, but I can't seem to find where I can set the phone to vibrate and play a tone for an email or SMS text. The tone works, just no vibration. I'm coming from a N1 and had the 'vibrate' set to always. Anyone else notice this?

If you go into "messaging". go to settings and at the bottom theres a notification setting.

Thanks - I forgot about those settings. What about it vibrating for Gmail messages?
i tried taking screenshots for you but i'm having issues.
if you go into the settings of each of those applications, you can set it there. in email, gmail, and messaging there is a section in the settings called notification where you can set a unique tone and also enable vibrate.
*EDIT- tonyizhurr beat me to it

I don't remember having to change these settings on my N1, they must have been activated by default. But I digress - thank you for the help!

Thanks. This was driving me crazy. On the G2 you could find the discreet settings for different items listed together in notifications. Now I can assign different sounds.
Well, I'm officially stumped. The vibration part of stock sms works, but no sounds.
Reflash AOKP 4.1.2, backup restore , and still no sound.
Email, voice mail, phone and G msg app all work for sound, just not stock msg app.
I have tried several different sounds, but to no avail.
This started after I did cm10.1 and flash back to AOKP 4.1.2

Do you have your notification sounds unchecked?
Also, when you flash did you wipe cache and delvik beforehand?

Wiped both.
Call me stupid, but I cannot find any box to enable / disable notification sounds.
Looked thrice just to be sure. Where on AOKP/system settings menu would it be?
If all of your notification sounds are working OK *except* text messages then I suggest you look at the notification settings within the messaging app. Open messaging then go into the settings, from there scroll down to the notifications section and make sure that checkbox is checked. You could also select 'chose ringtone' and make sure you don't have it on silent mode.

That did the trick. Always set the sound from settings and didn'trrealize that there was a spot directly in messaging.
Major thanks for the help!
I am periodically getting a notification to select my keyboard. I have Swiftkey installed and selected and yet I keep on being forced to re-select it to dismiss the notification. Anyone know how to stop this?

I assume you mean with Titanium? Or is there now a way to freeze apps in Kitkat? And is it ok to freeze the stock android keyboard. Thanks

Stop hearing Android system Select Keyboard Notification
Hi, I was a victim of this thing too and have a creative solution - replace the notification sound by a silent one you create:
- Use your smartphone voice recorder to create a one second silent notification - just press the record button and then immediately again.
- An ma4 sound file is created
- Rename the file to whatever name you want
- Share it - email it to yourself
- Go to your email inbox open the email with the fole and save the file - it will be saved in the "downloads" folder
- Go to Seiings -> Sound and Vibration -> Notification sound -> Deafault Notification Sound -> and change the sound to the one you created
Now it can notify as much as it wants - you will not hear it - like a mute person shouting- Hahahahah...
Running into a bug when I try to set a notification sound for Gmail. I can get to the settings menu, when I select my email account and press Inbox Sound & Vibrate, Gmail stops working. Is there a backdoor to change the setting or do I have to wait for an update?

Thought my phone wasn't notifying me audibly of new emails and seeing your post, I checked it out. Took the long road--
Settings > Notifications and sounds > App Notifications > Gmail > App Settings > (account name) > Inbox sound & vibrate > Sound
Had no crash or issues. Reboot?

No go on either. The workaround took me to the same place where it crashed. Reboot and it still does the same thing.

Time to wipe, I guess, and start over. My phone quit displaying the phone app last week when I got incoming calls--phone rang but I couldn't answer. Still not sure why but think it was corrupted memory related to removing the SD card. Regardless, wiping fixed everything.
