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?

Are you looking for notification sounds for only incoming text messages?

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.

Sorry to ask but can anyone recommend a free AP that would let me have different notification sounds for email and SMS etc
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
You don't need app, just go into the individual app (Email, Gmail, SMS, ect..)
and pick your notifications ringtone
If you're looking to get ringtones etc for free...Zedge is a great app. Free too.
Then as you assign, you can choose between system sounds or Zedge.

I have a vibrant and my wife has the g2x, she really wants the option to reject a call with a predefined text message like my vibrant can. Is there an app or rom that can successfully accomplish this on the g2x ?

I can only be somewhat helpful. I have seen that option on a rom but i cant recall which one.

Try extreme call blocker.
Block all unwanted calls, secure private text messages, ensure privacy. This app is now fully compatible with Android 2.3 (Gingerbread), with pickup-hangup feature. *** LG phone users, if the blocked calls are answered but not hangup, please enable "LG mode" option in "Application Configuration".
Not free, been using it for a week works great.

You can on MIUI ROMs. Instead of sliding down to answer you slide up to reject.

GO SMS has this feature, although I haven't tried it out. Its a free app and is MUCH better than the stock messaging app.
In the app go to Menu > Settings > Services > Auto Reply. Then you're given a settings window that includes 3 pre-defined auto reply messages. Press directly on the text of one of the messages and it will give you options to change the message; change whether it's sent after a missed/rejected call, an incoming text, or both; and there are other options too. Like I said I haven't tried, but I've used GO SMS for quite some time and its a very reliable app so I'd be surprised if it doesn't work.
+1 on miui.us
Just checked and it has the option you want but it involves rooting and flashing a custom rom, guess your best bet would be the apps mentioned above.
I already flashed a custom rom on her phone so that's not a problem. The problem would be her not being very accepting of an entirely new UI and bugs. I'll give them apps a try. I installed handcent sms on it I'll see if it has an option.

Just tested it with GO SMS and it works beautifully. If Handcent doesn't have it definitely give GO SMS a try. I actually used Handcent before and I like GO better.

Reject++
If you are looking for an app to let you reject incoming calls with predefined or custom SMS and setup a reminder to return a call as well..
so check Reject++
You can:
- Reject a call with SMS, Reminder, Or Both.
- Convenient Slider on top of incoming call screen, slider it up and go with Reject++
- Smart SMS Templates with "Tags"
- Smart Reminders Scheduling Engine.
- Works with mobile screen locked or OFF
- Notifications works no matter if the app is active or not.
Check much more Features & Screenshots for Reject++
I have a Verizon GS3 - I used to use GO SMS for well SMS. Now I like the stock messaging app but the only thing I am missing is the different notification sounds for different contacts. While I'm driving I tend to ignore the texts unless it's from my wife who has a specific tone I used for SMS. Is there something out there that JUST does this? MEaning I don't want to install Go SMS and I don't want SMS messages popping up
any clues?
You can use GoSMS and disable the pop ups.

I am in the same boat and would love this feature. I came over from an iPhone (Sorry Apple your too slow at rolling out a LTE device) and you could assign contacts their own SMS tones. Android needs this too. For now once they fix Light Flow I think that will be my second best option. I can at least assign a LED light color to a few things but it's not working currently on the VZ GS3 version.

I use "Ringo" from the market. Works great, and easy to use.

P.S. If you use this app, don't forget to set the default notification sound in the SMS app to "silent". Ringo will do the rest.

Is there anyway to flash the Google Calender over the Samsung one?
Also believe I found a bug with silencing notifications. I like having a phone ringtone but no text ones but yet when I choose "silent" as my notification ringtone it still goes off. Any ideas?
Cheers

Calender is just up to you as long as you can have the apk file simply put in in system or even just install it outside of system like a normal app. You can have have a rom without calender, it's not mandatory.
About the notification, if your not using the system messaging you may need to set specific settings in the app itself, if you do check both the app settings and settings>sounds notification sound.
I think you can just set the volume of notifications under sounds to 0 while keeping the ringtone high.
Any idea where I can get the Google calendar apk?
Disregard. Gotta love an easy Google search.

Since we now have the option to pick in 4.4, what's your favorite messaging app? I've been using Ninja SMS. I prefer a Holo interface, and the chat heads mean I never have to look at the interface itself anyways.

Hangouts is my favorite.

Hangouts or textra for simplicity. Smart messenger for more features and speed. Has message back ups and works with your Google drive to send files.

AOSP MMS. Identical to the standard 4.3 MMS app.

Hangout isn't bad, but I really miss the remove/change not compatible unicode options.
For this reason my favorite is the 8sms https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thinkleft.eightyeightsms.mms. Looks like the stock 4.3 sms app, but have more options.

I tried 8sms, but sometimes wouldn't receive pictures in MMS. It would appear as a triangle. Looks like a play button. Same with the stock messaging .apk. Any ideas?

Another vote for Textra. Has some nice features, but not overly complicated or bloated. Handles MMS picture messages and iPhone-style group messages great.

This isn't making any sense to me, you have always been able to pick whatever messaging app you want.
Textra hands down.

@krabman Sure, you could always use any SMS app, but it was never flawless. In KitKat there technically isn't a default SMS app. You pick whatever you want.

In sorry but you have always been able to pick whatever you want and it would work without issue. All you had to do is turn off notifications in the stock messaging app which wasn't any harder than what you need to do now. What you didn't have to do was set your shiny new messing app as default because the operating system did it for you. If you installed multiple messaging apps like handcent and chomp it would then give the option to set one as default and you could go into the main settings/applications and remove that default just like any other application installs such as launchers or galleries where more than one app could be called to perform an action.

See above. Assuming all the various messaging apps get tuned up to work on 4.4 you will have exactly the same options you had on 4.3, no more no less. There is no now you can pick.
