Hi there! I'm trying to figure out how to change the default ringtone of Hangouts. The app's settings are useless. I'm guessing the ringtone is embedded in the Hangouts APK somewhere. Anyone point me in the right direction on how to go about doing this? Thanks!

Hello,
I've got a weird problem I'm trying to solve with bettercut. I think it should be relatively easy, but I'm stumped and was wondering if somebody could help me out.
I use an HTC Legend and I like SenseUI too much to change to another launcher. I use an App called SMS Popup to notify me of new messages, but this app - combined with SenseUI - creates a bug with the default Messages shortcut.
Basically, when I mark a message as Read with the SMS Popup, the default Messages shortcut keeps the notification badge telling me I have unread messages. Which is annoying, because to fix this I have to go into the messaging app, scroll to the message I've already read in order to convince SenseUI I've read it.
So basically, what I'm trying to do with BetterCut is launch the SMS app without the system treating it as a Shortcut that needs a notification badge. I read all of my SMSs immediately mostly so I never need it to tell me how many I need to read.
So far, I have the intent as:
android.intent.action.RUN
and the data as:
com.android.MMS
However, when I select this shortcut, it says the app isn't installed.
So could somebody help me either:
1. Make a shortcut with BetterCut to the default Messaging app which won't show notification badges
or
2. Turn off notification badges entirely, because I don't use them for email either and they kinda piss me off.
Thanks!
PS. I've searched forums and google extensively for this, so I wouldn't be asking if I hadn't already tried
Cheers
Anybody? I don't imagine it's that difficult, I'm just missing something
There must be somebody out there who knows how to do this
I could do this all day
Or night, depending on the time
Hi Guys,
First post, a friend at work referred me here, thus far i've found the forums very useful.
One thing i cant find an answer for through xda or google is the ability to distinguish notification alerts.
Relevant to my query, I am using;
> HTC One XL (Telstra) Unlocked & rooted, STOCK ROM.
- Apex Pro Launcher
- Combination of XD widgets & Android Pro Widgets.
- Quick Profiles Pro
Whilst quick profiles pro really does the job i want it to do, i need to be able to identify different alerts;
- Email / Gmail
- SMS
Facebook would also be nice to set apart, but if it hasnt been thought of yet, the ability to differentiate between an sms alert tone and an email alert tone seems as though it should be a fairly remedial task, im wondering why in finding it so hard to find something to do this?

In settings go to sounds, then notification and change the sound. This will be for emails. Open the sms app and open settings. Go to notification. This will be your sms sound.

Lol i cant beleive it was that simple, thanks so much.
On the topic, im not a fan of my tones list being cluttered up with stock tones i'll never use.
I have mounted R/W in root explorer to move the default tones to my sd card and back them up on my pc.
In their place i have loaded my custom mp3s, but when i try to assign them they do not appear;
- system/media/audio/notifications
- system/media/audio/ringtones
All threads i have viewed say to load customs on sdcard to;
- sdcard/media/audio/notifications
- sdcard/media/audioringtones
Neither ringtones or notifications load from this location.
I moved my ringtones back to;
- sdcard/ringtones
They appear in my list.
I tried this with notification tones;
- sdcard/notifications
They still dont appear when i try to assign them.
Same phone, unlocked & rooted HTC One XL Stock ROM Telstra.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Sorted.
The files werent visible thru notifications settings when i put them there.
When i had a look again, they were mysteriously there.
I notice this happens when i sync my music for music player.
My playlists are empty for a number of hours before eventually just appearing.
Why is that?
Really, has anyone figured it out? For example if I install ExDialer and get a missed call notification, I always have to choose the default app to view it. It seems impossible to set ExDialer (or any other 3rd party app) as the default for opening the call history. There is always the extra tap to choose the app.
Anyone, solution? I have read the whole internet and can't find the workaround.
I can't get to really like the new KitKat dialer, want to use ExDialer ...
What happens if you freeze the stock dialer?

Well, there's two things that can be disabled. One is the Phone app. The other is the Google Dialer app. If I disable Phone then there's no difference. If I disable the Dialer app then I can open the missed calls well with exDialer but if there's an incoming call then there's no sign of it except for the led being on (I assume the Google Dialer app is responsible for displaying incoming calls and the answer/decline buttons).
So I must have the Google Dialer app running but that means I can't use ExDialer.

I've spent countless hours trying to figure this out. I've lost my hopes. There is no way to do that. I've even been flashing several different roms to test this out. Can't believe so few people are actually discussing this.
Ok I use the facebook group app quite a bit , but the notification is way to low
I converted it to system app and was going to change the tone to something different but I cant find the original one to swap it with in any of the sub folders etc
can someone help me out please
Is there a way to revert all of my custom assigned ringtones back to the default?
Somehow when I was cleaning up my Google music I deleted my download ringtones. Thus, loosing all my custom assigned ringtones. And the one that Android assigned to it is a real soft sound.
So I wanna try and revert all contact ringtones back to default. Any way to do this all at once? Or will I have to go to each contact to do it?
Thanks for the help
Bill
