SMS App - General Questions and Answers

I am on stock ICS 4.04.
I do not want to root the phone (for work related security reason)
I used to be on a rooted phone with KitKat but had to revert back to unrooted
On Kit Kat (and at one time on rooted ICS) I used SMS app (AOSP) which allowed the notification tone to be set to system notification tone.
The default ICS sms app allows me to chose a tone OR use default ringtone (NOT default notification tone)
Does anyone know of an app that uses default notification tone
Its important that I am able to use default notification tone because during night my default tone is set to silent which means I don't need to be woken up during the night if I receive a message. I do NOT want to set ringtone to silent as I still want to be able to take calls.

[Q] how to change/manage notification & messages sounds

Hi.
I have big problem with my new samsung galaxy s.
v 2.1 installed and handcent sms
in hancent sms I have customized my sms sound - simple mp3 file. It plays only when the new message comes from one person. When I receive sms from unknown number (out of contacts), phone plays the default notification sound.
Is it possible to set one default sound for all incoming text messages? How to correctly manage all the sounds (including the calendar reminder/notification) sound?
I've read that in case of calendar sounds problem it is a big issue.. is it ?
-----------
I have found how to set default ring/sound for sms (in handcent sms settings). I think the notification sound has self changed while I was trying to change sounds in android default sound settings menu.
The question about one sound/ring-tone management software stays. It is annoying that in stock phone software is no possibility to manage normal settings....

Really weird ringtone bug.

Everything was fine until I realized I cant change my custom ringtone anymore. Whatever ringtone I set the custom one would ring even though it showed the other one is selected. So I deleted the ringtone and then was able to change it.
However only after a little while the phone just stopped ringing, the default tone seems to be silent and whatever I put it wont change. I put back my custom ringtone, rebooted, then deleted all the custom ringtones again and yet I am unable to get my phone to ring.
I have tried setting a ringtone through playerpro music player as well but to no avail.
The notification sound comes as normal. I am running stock unrooted 4.0.4. What should I do?
Figured out the problem. There were some specific contacts that did not have a ringtone assigned to them and my own second phone was one of them from which I was doing the testing. I was using a profile scheduler app previously and in that I had put some of the contacts on the whitelist to allow them to call me even on silent mode. So it was the app which was controlling those contacts and even after uninstalling it the settings hadnt defaulted.

Priority Mode, messages won't sound?

Hey ya's. I'm using an N5 with stock 5.01, rooted with twrp. During the night I used to use a tasker profile for when sleeping that did pretty much what priority Mode does by allowing my started contacts calls and messages to get through and alert me. With priority Mode now available, I use tasker to just trigger that instead.
But I'm having an issue with my messages. I use Handcent as my default messaging app and when I get an sms from a starred contact when in priority Mode it does not sound. I installed google messenger to check and when it's set to default messaging app I get the notification since no issues. Switch back to Handcent and no luck again.
I use Handcent because I like the pop up alert in it, but more so because I can schedule sms messages for a particular time, which is a feature I do use a bit. So if rather not change from it if I can help it.
Just wondering if anyone knows why the alert doesn't sound in Handcent during priority Mode, and if there's a work around?
Something to try:
Settings > Sound & notification > App Notifications > Handcent > Enable Priority
You bloody champion! Seems that was it. Didn't even notice that setting was there. Rippa!
This setting allows all notifications to come through, even from non-starred contacts.

Hangouts not playing custom notification tone

I just updated my Sprint Samsung Galaxy S5 to Marshmallow stock via Odin (including a full wipe) and then I took the Sprint OTA to G900PVPU3CPE1. I am running with full encryption and have Chainfire's Systemless SuperSU Pro 2.74 installed. My /system partition is mounted with the default read only and my recovery is stock.
I copied my custom notifications, alarms and ringtones back over to the phone and they seem to be working fine with one notable exception. Google Hangouts keeps playing the application default message notification tone despite being set to my preferred custom tone. Hangouts will play the sample tone when I select the custom notification, but when a message arrives it plays the default stock tone instead. Does anyone have any ideas on what might be wrong?
Facebook Messenger also appears to be having problems playing the correct sound. It shows the default system notification sound, which has been set to a custom MP3, but plays the application builtin default instead. It also shows none of my custom notification sounds on the selection list.

Questions about Per-Contact Ring Tone and SMS Notification on stock Marshmallow

I have a Nexus 5 running stock marshmallow, 6.0.1. I'm trying to set a custom SMS notification for a single contact. When I edit a contact, there is an option to "set ringtone". I don't see any way to set the notification. Is it possible using stock android or do I need an application?
Also, when I select "set ringtone", it provides 9 options including default ringtone and none. I was able to set a specific ringtone when I wanted to return it to default ringtone the option was not available. I was able to return it to default by deleting and recreating the contact. Any idea why it provides different ringtones after you change it? Is there another way to return to default ringtone other than deleting and recreating?
