This app is in its early stages as is the developer! Please let me know if you encounter any issues.
SMS Sounds
Set custom ringtones for each of your contacts when you receive SMS text messages! This app will not bloat your phone as it should be used in addition to the default messaging software on your phone.
You can setup every contact with their own ring so you know when to leave the phone on the couch and not reply to them for an hour. Or, you will know when to look at your phone immediately as your curiosity gets aroused as you’ve been waiting for their text.
There are three selections in SMS Sounds. First, you’ll have to add a ringtone to each of your contacts. Next, you can edit them at any time (be sure to click save before exiting the screen). And third, view them all in one complete list.
Feel free to contact us at [email protected] with any bugs or issues that will be fixed as though we are getting paid by the hour. Or send us feature requests that may never be added.
FAQ’s:
Q: Why does the ringtone keep playing until I answer it?
A: Some ringtone files are set to loop endlessly. You can check this when you are in the ringtone picker. Select a tone and if it continues to ring over and over, it will also loop when you receive an SMS. The best thing for you to do is create or pirate your own .wav or .mp3 files that do not loop and set them as the tones.
Q: Why do I get two notifications for every SMS text I receive?
A: This common problem occurs when you either have a default notification still set or you are using another messaging application that has its own notification tone. To remove the default notification, go to Settings > Sound > Notification ringtone > Silent. Don’t ask me how to shut them off for other custom applications, I didn’t develop them and I certainly don’t recommend them!
Q: Why am I not able to see all my ringtones (internal or external)?
A: SMS messages are handled via notifications. Your sound files (ex: .ogg, .wav, .mp3, etc) have to be within a folder labeled “notifications” to be recognized by the application. Move or copy your ringtones into the “notifications” folder. This isn’t my rule; I have to live by it just like you. TIP: Notifications should not be an entire song unless you want to hear the whole song each time someone sends a message. We suggest you create a shorter file of approximately 2 to 5 seconds for notifications. For example, don’t setup Freebird as a tone.
Q: Why do the notifications quit working?
A: If you use applications that require high resources/memory, the operating system can shut down the application causing it to stop working. Re-open the application and toggle the “Tones Enabled?” checkbox to off and then back to on to continue hearing the wonderful sounds of your incoming messages.
Q: I setup a contact but the phone doesn’t ring when they send me a text.
A: That isn’t a question. We’d start by checking the list of contacts in the view screen to make sure the phone number matches the number received by your messaging application. If they do not match exactly, the phone will not sound off. You’ll need to edit the contact information in the phone’s address book. Then go back into the ringtone setup in SMS Sounds and select a tone for the new entry.

Made some design changes to make it easier to setup for contacts.
Looking for comments from anyone who has downloaded the app.
I've updated this to work with ICS. Not sure anyone on ICS right now uses the stock messaging app though.

A program that can change the vibration pattern of incoming calls / SMS. The program currently available is VAlert that change the vibration pattern for CALLS. Is there any program that change the vibrate pattern of SMS? Please let me know if I missed out..
- I saw this Smart Vibrator for Andriod, so i was thinking if anyone can make something similar for Windows Mobile
https://slideme.org/application/smart-vibrator
You can compose the vibration pattern by:
"." Short vibration
"-" long vibration
" " pause 0.5s
And you can set different patterns for different incoming numbers. This tool help you would not miss the important messages and call.

in PhoneAlarm you can specify some custom vibration patterns for all alarms, calls, email, sms, etc.
Is that really true? I did a testdrive with phoneAlarm (which kindly ****ed up all my alarm and ringtone settings) but could not find anything that let me edit any vibration patterns. Did I end up in stupidity?
Are there any ways to edit SMS pattern by now? Thanks for answering in advance?

I tried phone alarm n it drained my battery much quicker than is spose to. idk maybe i did something wrong.
But, were you able to change the SMS vibration to a custom pattern? I haven't found such an option in the program I fear...
that is so true, i downloaded it yesterday n it didn't change the vibrating pattern. however, did u use the pro or lite version?
I tried the pro version. Trial version of pro. The changelog says that it is capable of changing vibration patterns for each alarm, but there was no such option anywhere. I looked through it twice at least. Strange then. Is there no other way for changing the vibration for SMS and e-mail?

+1 Xperia has such a sucky vibration pattern (haha, I just called it pattern!), it just vibrates forcefully one time so hard that the device hums very loudly. I'd like to have the normal three short vibrations.
The same with the Touch Pro. People keep asking me why I have my razor with me. Three short vibrations would be a dream of a vibration!
Bump.
I assume no solutions yet. I have been scouring the interwebs. I have found some registry edits that can do it, but appearntly if you change profiles it goes away.

Is there any app that can have the phone ring on silent for some callers, and with volume on for some? For example when I'm sleeping, if my friends call I want it to ring on silent so it won't wake me up (but not block the call, because I still want to see the entry on my missed calls), but if my mom calls I want to hear it ring so I will wake up.
perhaps:
h t t p : / /
ringomo.com/android
.php
customize specific ringtones for every contact
otherwise create a "blank" mp3 you use for some contacts
Nice idea with the blank mp3

That would be a lot of work to set up every night, lol. I want something quick and easy that you can switch on and off.

I realize this is an older request, but we just released a new application, CritiCall which does exactly this. It allows you to turn the volume off at night and still receive calls from specific people. Just set them as "critical" contacts and the app will override the volume settings and let the phone ring for those contacts only. It will remain on silent for everyone else.
You can even set up groups so you could have your family set as a group that will ring your phone 24 hours a day Then you could have another group for friends or co-workers which limits the times it overrides the volume to between 8AM to 10 PM or whatever times you want. You can customize the times for each individual or for each entire group.
Trial version is free

or Click Here from your phone.
Paid version is $0.99
or Click Here from your phone.
There are also features to let you adjust the volume that it rings as well as an automatic resume feature. Obviously there are times you can't have the phone ring, but you can turn CritiCall off and set the time for it to turn back on automatically. This works great in case you turn the volume down for some reason and you forget to turn the volume back up - you don't miss important phone calls.
If you have any issues or comments/suggestions, let us know at [email protected]. We want to know what features to add - we're already working on an on/off widget and also having CritiCall work for text messages too.

AutoRing - review here.
Uses a white list approach.
I was looking for the same thing coming from a BlackBerry and I found Bedside:
http://www.appbrain.com/app/bedside-(night-clock)/net.geekherd.bedsidepro2
I love it. It uses a whitelist so you just set up who you want calling/texting (which are seperate) and only those will ring through. It has a widget you tap to activate/deactivate so it is pretty simple too.
I use Toggle Settings pro, and it works well for this sort of thing!
Firs off, I am NOT affiliated with this project at all - It is something I ran across, have been using it and thought I would share:
Project Name: android-smspopup
URL: http://code.google.com/p/android-smspopup/
Description:
An Android application that intercepts incoming text messages and displays them in a popup window (activity). The popup window shows the contact the message came from and their contact photo (if there is one) as well as the content of the message. Directly from the popup the user is given the option to Close the popup (marking the message read) or Reply to the message (using a system intent).
The more recent versions of SMS Popup also have a full notifications system built in - this allows a user to disable the built in messaging app notifications and use those from SMS Popup. The notifications system has additional options such as custom vibrate pattern, custom LED color and the ability to remind the user of a missed message in case they missed the notification the first time it played.
Review:
Even though it is in development stages, it is a pretty solid product.
- I love the fact that right from the pop-up notification, I can mark it read (hitting close) without going into the message and having to open yet another app.
- Pop-up shows the contact picture (if there is one) and I can tell at a glance who it is before I even read it.
- Being able to set up repeat reminders when missing messages is fantastic! Sometimes I step away and miss a text, so when I get back, at whatever interval I set it too, it re-notifies me of a message and I get the texts... Awesome!
- Here's one of my favorite ones... Custom Notification settings for contacts!! have a custom tone for my wife's text messages so I know it's her texting me. I also have one set up for other family members... Sky's the limit!
There's more and there is more coming up, so it's worth a shot.
Here is the QRC to download:

Sounds like the same thing as SMS Popup that's on the market. Which still isn't as good as Chompsms or Handcent
It looks EXACTLY like SMS popup???
im pretty sure it is smspopup the changelog goes back to dec-2008 which is around when i found smspopup on my g1. it is a good app though i had to stop using it due to the texting while driving laws in my area im afraid the popup would count as reading the text, especially since it marks the text as read, which is just as illegal as writing one while driving.
"Call filter Siesta" is basically a white list call filter, allowing you to use silent mode and yet be able to define a list caller groups or individuals which you want to get alerted from while the rest of the calls will be muted.
Market link
Imagine you are sitting in a very important business meeting and the phone is of course muted. But you are waiting for a call from your wife who's due to give birth at any minute! Call filter siesta will screen all calls accept the one from your wife, allowing the meeting to go on undisturbed by random callers.
The birth went well and you are dying to go to sleep, but you don’t want to miss a call from your mother. Call filter siesta will help you not to be disturbed until the new granny calls...
Features:
-Caller group definition - on each group you can add contacts you would like to be allowed to call . you can create Business Groups / Home Groups / Kids Group.
-Quick activation - don't have time to create a group ? you are about to enter the meeting in 30 sec ? use the Quick Action Tab to choose who are the callers who allow to disturb the meeting .
-Unmute phone by SMS - the phone is on Silent/Vibrate mode ? don't know where you forgot the phone ? send an SMS to the cell phone with specific code and Voila! the phone is no longer in Silent Mode and you can find it by calling the phone

Thanks for all of you!!
Sounds like a great app. Will try it out
Feature Suggestion
Wow, I think this app will turn out to be incredibly useful for me.
Just a quick feature suggestion:
Add an option that will only let the callers on the whitelist through if they call twice within a certain amount of time.
Here is an example of how that would be useful to me:
Without the requested feature: My father works early in the morning, he calls me around 5am to see if my wife and I can do dinner on Friday night. Because my father is on my whitelist, his call will get right through and wake me up, despite it not being an emergency.
With the requested feature: My father works early in the morning, he calls me around 5am to see if my wife and I can do dinner on Friday night. Because my father is on my whitelist AND I have enabled the 2 call option, his call simply goes to voicemail like normal.
If it's an emergency, my father will know to call twice within 10minutes (or whatever interval I select), at which point, I will be awakened by his second call.
This would be priceless for me (and many others I think). I've been really hoping someone could make an app like this. Oh and I'd be happy to beta test if you need a tester.
hahaha i want to say thank you for the app even i havent tried it yet
its just that i read this thread in the morning and it made my day
very humorous way to introduce an app
haha thanks, might try it later
Call filter siesta- new version
Version 1.1 is out!!
Features new design and a few bug fixes.
The new version is available on the android market.
Not sure really where to go with this, except I'm hoping with someone with a bit more experience on these builds will know what's going on, explain why what I want won't work, or what I can do to fix. Or at least if it's an EMUI thing, an Oreo thing, or a Messages thing to know what to look into changing.
I'm running the builds downloaded from the https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/development/update-bln-l22c675-emui-5-x-x-to-emui-8-t3819317 build. I also installed Messages v3.8.037 (basilisk_RC15).
It seems the Messages app starting at 3.7.052 at least, Messages started using channel notifications on Oreo. Whenever I go into the app and try to change the notification options, it seems to redirect me to the phone Notification settings directly to the "Messages - Other Notifications" section. Under that, there's only an option to turn ringtone on or off, not to set the sound for it. I can set a ringtone for each contact in the contacts app, but that seems to change the call and messages ringtone, and I really just want a way to distinguish a notification that I got ANY text from getting ANY email, ANY motion detection on my security cam, etc.
Bear with me on my journey here, I don't know how to resize these without making them all JPG'y and unreadable...
I tap on the vertical ellipses in the Messages app and tap on settings, and this screen pops up.

}
I then tap on the Notification option, and it brings up the screen I was talking about above, where I can't set the ringtone, only turn it on or off.
The same experience happens if I start from Settings, which appears to be all EMUI'd out.
Without EMUI, I think you'd get App Info, according to all posts I've seen. In EMUI 8.0.0, I tap on Apps.
I then had to tap Messages, then Notifications (not pictured) and it takes me to this. Nowhere between are options to change the sounds either. Tapping on any of these takes me to the exact same thing as image 2, but it shows the subheading of whatever I tap on here (example -- image 2 is what I get tapping on "Other notifications"). Notice there's a separate setting here specifically for my wife for some reason.
Here's my build infos:
Thanks for any info you can give me, even if it's just education. I know it seems piddly, but I'm thinking this will apply to anything with channel notifications. For instance, I just noticed my security cam app appears to use channel notifications and I can't change it for that either.
So what you wanna do is to set individual sounds for some contacts? Well, as far as I know the option isn't available in EMUI 8. Or at least I don't know how to.

It's not that, I can do that in contacts. It's that I want ANY text to come through to be sound A, whereas email alerts are sound B, security camera app alerts are sound C. You can see above that I can't set the sound for Messages app.
Pretty sure that's not possible. Try Googling it.

Ya, I had it in Nougat and got spoiled with it. I set my texts to be "Hey, Listen" from Navi in Legend of Zelda, and I set my emails to be a rupee sound, and security system to be the "opening big chest" sound. now they're all the standard system notification sound
I can switch to Textra like all of the Googles suggests, but I like having the Google app and the "Messages for Web" functionality. Guess I'll have to live with this or go back to Nougat. But this has been a whole different phone since I've gotten Oreo/EMUI8. WAY less lag/lockups. So I'll deal.
