Hello everyone! First I want to thank everyone for their hard work! I wish I could contribute more.
I would like to know if there is ANY WAY possible to have Different ringtone per notification.
Example - one sound for email and another sound for SMS, etc...
When going into Settings it doesn't seem to have this feature.
I was wondering if anyone out there knows of a way to do this.
Thanks,
quad

@babi_gurlx Thanks, been trying to figure out how to choose the ringtone for SMS.
If you want a profile app that will control the volume for separate notification and SMS, I've been using Profile
That's the ringtone for notifications, meaning any notification (SMS, email, etc)
Unless I'm missing something.
I want a different ringtone for SMS than email.
Thanks

Go into your messaging app and then push the menu button, then scroll down and change the ringer

Anyone else have issues with zedge notification tones not sticking? I have one I downloaded selected but when I get an email or text a default system one plays. Any ideas?

You have to manually set those by going into each and apply it in their settings. Like for the text, open up messages, click menu and go into settings and change the tone all the way at the bottom of the menu. Same applies for the email

That worked, thanks man.

That's odd. My boss has an infuse and he doesn't have to set them each manually. He's able to just set his notification tone in either sedge or in settings and it works for texts and email.

Happened to me too. I set the one in settings, but it only worked for general notifications, not text. That one I had to go the setting in the message app itself, which I thought was weird.
But then I thought about it and it makes sense. If you want to have multiple sounds for different types of notifications.
How the heck do you remove (or change ) the default sound for receiving e-mail messages?
I've tried going into settings and GMail, but with no luck. For lack of a better way to describe the sound, it sounds like a "haunting sound". I've installed a number of ROMs and this sound seems to be the default.
Thanks!!

I think your talking about the "notification ringtone." For me, email, Facebook, and any other apps are tied together to this. Just go to settings/sounds/notification, to change.

Really? I always change my notification tone in the gmail settings. Check again. Or tell me what you see in settings.

Thanks, everyone. Turned out I missed changing a setting in my email program. Usually when I restore my apps using TBU, I haven't had to worry about that setting, but for some reason the notification tone changed this last time I flashed a ROM.

Just like the title says, I set a custom sound for calendar notifications, but it reverts back to default as soon as I leave the calenar app. I go back, and the sound for notifications is not the one I previously set. Is it just my phone or is it like that for everybody?
No help?

A little more info may help, are you stock, roooted, custom ROM?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Stock, never been rooted. I placed sounds in "notification" folder on the phone, not on SD card. I can see them when I set the sound for calendar, and I can hear them of course. But if I choose any of my own sounds, as soon as I leave the app and go back, it shows the default sound again.
I can, however, change to one of the Samsung sounds successfully.
My sounds are fine, they worked on my Rezound, and work on my Galaxy Tab.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Seems like irs a problem with your tones, or the storage location since you can use the stock tones. I would just use zedge from Google play and download a new tone and see if it works.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
See, that's why I specifically said the tones are fine. They worked on Rezound, they work on my Tab now. I just specifically checked again, I can set them for text message notifications, alarms, ringtone, anything, but calendar. Same tones. It's a problem with the calendar app. Same tone set fot txt works like a charm. But not for calendar.

Same issue here, it's the same thing with the timer in the clock app. Definitely a bug that has not been addressed. Pretty annoying.

I knew they were good on your other phones, but maybe the s3 didn't like then. But if they can be used as other times that's not the case. I would really try zedge not sure were it saved then but mine stick just tested it.

I'd rather not install another app that that I don't really need. Maybe there's a fix to this problem some other way?

I think the point is to test with an app that is known to work - for all we know, it might be a permissions issue with the files you copied, for example. Without direct knowledge of why the problem is happening, testing with a known quantity might help eliminate one set of possibilities and hone in on the problem-causing element.
The app can always be uninstalled, as well.
Another test might be to place your tones on a SD card (if you have one), which should have no access issues for any stock app.

That's actually my point, test the apps download. Then look at were they are saved and the permissions. Then simply put your files in there with the same permissions.

Yeah, it does smack of a permissions issue on its face, doesn't it?
Could be a different bug in the app, but maybe the background process is having an access problem so reverts back to the default tone.
- ooofest
Ok, I'll test them on SD card and report back. However, if I can set the same tone for txt, for example, it doesn't seem to me like a permission issue.

I just tested and checked permissions (which differ in a manner that shouldn't matter from the ICS notification files, I believe), among other things. I wasn't able to see where I could select a custom ringtone for the new event, though had copied them over to various directories, but did select a custom sound for all calendar events. It defaulted to the standard tone.
Then, I saw this thread that explains the issue and offers a potential workaround/fix:

Ok, I knew it wasn't a permission or a tone issue. It's a glitch with this thing. Very annoying. I guess all we can do is deal with it, huh? Calendar like that is pretty useless. I never hear any reminders. :thumbdown: :banghead:

I use the On Time notification sound, which has been good for me. I have rather sensitive hearing, admittedly.
The link I offered explained that a paid app in Play can provide different ringtone options, repeating notifications, popups, etc. for the Calendar:

Yes, yes, I've read that. But couldn't it just work like every other phone (I assume)? Paying for some tiny feature like this, because it's a stupid bug, just doesn't sound very nice.
On second thought, if there's an app that can do that without root permission, shouldn't we be able to accomplish the same without that app?

Well, this whole thing is making me consider re-rooting my phone, so that I can copy the custom tones to the proper directory, update their permissions to match the other tone files and see if that makes a difference. Maybe the Calendar app is hardcoded to use tones in that subdirectory only, but the selection UI screen is coded differently, allowing any tones to be selected.
I feel that if I select a tone in Notifications or a similar location, the Calendar app goes back to its default of the "On Time" tone, that is a clue to where it might be looking for a tone file when an event goes off. Or not, we'll see.
- ooofest
Well, sure it will work if you root it. But I still think we can make it work without root, if some app can get it done for unrooted phones.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
I'm guessing that app hooks into calendar events, but that involves writing code.
This works for me:
1. Root your phone. The easiest way I've found is located here.
2. Using Root Explorer (or similar file management app that has been granted SuperUser privileges after rooting) Move or Copy your notification sound file(s) to:
/system/media/audio/notifications/
I changed the permissions to rw-r--r-- for the moved files, but it turns out their default permissions also worked fine.
3. Back in the Calendar app, select your moved/copied notification ringtone from the list.
4. Unroot your phone, if desired.
Doing the above allowed me to use custom tones for the Calendar notifications - I tested with .ogg files, but perhaps .mp3 or others may also work.
(At first, it seemed a side-effect caused loss of system sounds, but it turned out I somehow turned the System sound volume to 0 through some fumble fingering.)
So, no side-effects and I'm back to being stock, unrooted. Whole process took less than 10 minutes with testing.

OK guys I've been really looking to find an app that can do this without all the extra stuff..I'd like to be able to set notification sounds for individual contacts.. I've seen apps like SMS pop up that do this and a few others...I already have a ROM that has the pop up feature so I don't really want to use a third party app to message...does anyone know of a way to do so?

Was looking for that but to be able to do assign individual sounds for contacts as it related to texts, but after some research I found an app that does it. Who is it lite

I use LED Lightflow to manage all my notifications in one app. It's nicely designed and has plenty of features.
Another app that allows you to set individual tones for SMS contacts is SMS Sounds. It is a small app that is designed to be used in conjunction with a default messaging app.
