Hi,
I rebooted my Oneplus One yesterday and have strange issues since then:
- the ringtone and notification sounds reverted back to default...
I was using a custom ringtone located in sdcar/ringtones and a custom notification sound located in sdcard/notifications.
Both files are still present in those directories, but aren't listed into the available ringtones/notifications settings.
- the gallery app only shows pictures taken since the reboot. These files as well as the older pictures are still into sdcard/DCIM/Camera
Thanks in advance.
My Opo is rooted and running official CM12s.
Me too!
I randomly had the exact same problem, reverted to an older twrp backup and when I rebooted it was fine (ringtones working, and pictures listed) until my apps started updating. Once all the updates were done Gallery and Google photos didnt display any photos (but if i took a quick picture then and there theyd display that, just not any older photos).
And the notification sounds were broken.
I have found workarounds.
For the pictures, download the app quickpic, its sort of a replacement for Gallery. It is essentially the same just laid out differently, but most importantly it will pick up all your old pictures.
For the ringtone it seems like the folder moved or something...
I placed my custom files (.ogg files) in /system/media/audio/notifications/
They then show up when trying to select them in settings.
And you can now choose a custom ringtone.
But for some reason the notification sound doesnt work. You can see the filenames listed in the notification sound list, but when you select it no sound plays (and if you do select the custom sound as your notification sound it wont play when you get an notifications.
There's a reason why they chose Oxygen as the OS for the OnePlus Two.
EDIT
I installed Zedge which is just another program to manage ringtones and notification sounds.
So now when you go to change a notification sound in an app or in settings or something it will give you the option to open with zedge.
You can use whatever third party ringtone/notification program and it would work probably.
so tl;dr
get a third party app for pictures and videos such as quickpic
get a third party app for ringtones/notification sounds such as zedge

I recently decided that I'd like different sounds for my various app notifications, but found that regardless as to what I set them to, they always use the default notification sound. To clarify, my apps ( gmail, twitter, facebook, etc ) all allow me to change their sounds and the settings stay put, they just simply don't use the selected sound, but rather player the default instead.
I've tried using apps that help with setting sounds, didn't help. I tried only using default system sounds vs the ones I've added via Zedge, didn't matter. I've been searching on XDA and Google, but no luck. I'm currently running v3 of the Breakneck rom on an LG Vortex and would much appreciate any help.
Update
I flashed my phone to v4 of the breakneck rom this morning, so took the opportunity to see which app(s) was causing the problem. The fresh rom prior to installing any new apps does work with a default system wide sound and different individual app sounds. I didn't encounter the problem I mentioned above until I used Zedge to set my notification sound to one of the ones that I had downloaded through it. If I uninstall Zedge and go back to using default system sounds, they work again properly. But if I use one of the downloaded sound files, even with Zedge still uninstalled, it no longer allows individual apps to have their own sounds. I even tried converting the sound files over to OGG and moving them to the system notification folder, no dice. Any ideas?
If this problem still exist in the V2.4 of the Zedge app please let us know by using "feedback" in the app.
Then we will let one of our developers to take a look at it.
(I'm a Community Manager in Zedge by the way)
Thanks!
Thank you for the reply, but I'm not 100% sure that it's Zedge's fault. A friend of mine has the same phone and is running a stock rom AND is having no trouble with his Zedge sounds. I however, am having trouble with Zedge on my custom rommed phone. I've also sent a tweet over to the rom developer to see if he'd check things on his end.
Also, I am already running v.2.4.
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?
Hi guys. I recently flashed my LG G2X (LGP999) from Wind's Froyo (2.2) to CM 10 using ClockworkMod and ROM Manager. Everything was going great till I noticed something odd. All of the default ringtones in this version of CyanogenMod, as well as my custom ringtones, are repeated in the ringtone menu. The same thing is happening with notification ringtones. Since I'm a new user, I can't post images from external links, so please bear with me.
Ringtones:

Notifications:

And I have another problem. Some of the default system sounds show up in Apollo, and I can't delete them from the app. Is there any way to remove stuff like camera_click.ogg from Apollo? On Wind's proprietary OS I was able to delete stuff from the Music app...

The default ringtones and notifications don't show up in the media or audio folders, and I tried deleting them from the audio folder via ASTRO File Manager but they're still in the ringtones menu... what gives? Why can't I delete them?
Another mini problem: the screen flickers a lot when I go into the gallery to view pictures, but other than that everything has been much smoother and better than 2.2.
If you could tell me how to delete the default ringtones and notifications (because I don't use them), as well as how to remove the default system sounds from Apollo, I'd be very grateful. Thank you.
I have the same problem. But mine is in CM9 and CM10

hi, wonder if anyone can help, i hope i dont have to wipe and flash again.
I recently flashed Wicked rom v7 on SSGS4 (SGH-M919), and when flashing I chose to include the google camera app.
I am also using the AOSP lock screen so when I swipe left from the lock screen it goes straight to camera. I was trying different camera apps and setting the default camera that launches from the lock screen, and for all the other cameras I was able to go to app manager and clear the defaults. However, the google camera does not show up in my app manager, so after I set it to the default camera I cannot clear that default, now I am stuck with the google camera as my default.
I tried downloading that app "Default app manager" but it also does not see the google camera app. Tried turning off the AOSP lock screen (from the wicked rom manager) and turning back on, and the google camera is still set as default. also tried searching forums and google but cannot seem to find anything.
Any idea where this default setting is actually stored, like is there a file somewhere either in the app folder or a system folder that stores this setting, that I am able to manually clear?
thanks
OK after much messing around I figured it out, the Camera app is called photosphere.apk because they named it after its new feature. can't figure out how to delete this thread so I'll just post the answer.
using Root Browser for android, I had to go into /system/app, and make a backup copy and then delete Photosphere.apk - that is the app that contains the 4.3 Camera and gallery (and its icon is the gallery icon). then restart the phone, set a new default camera app, then copy photosphere.apk back into the /system/app folder and restart.
I have been having problems setting custom notification sounds for some apps, but haven't really looked too much into it until now. What I have found is that apparently from Oreo stock Android allows you to change app notification sounds, and other notification settings, from within the Android system settings (Settings > Apps and notifications). This then makes it unnecessary for apps to accommodate these sound settings from within the apps themselves like they used to. Of course many Google first party apps, such as Messages and Gmail, have adopted this new method for managing notifications. However, it would appear that Honor/Huawei in EMUI 8 have stripped out the option to change the sound from within the app notification settings screen. The result appears to be that we are unable to set app specific notification sounds for many Google apps and any other 3rd party apps that have embraced this change in Oreo. Instead these just use the system wide default notification sound.
I am not aware of any official Honor or Huawei community where we can log bugs or change requests. So how do we make them aware that this is an issue that we care about?
I presume that this hasn't already been fixed on newer devices running 8.1?
It would be really good if someone could prove me wrong. Is there some other way that we can set custom tones on an app by app basis?
Thanks.

Yup. This bugs me since I got my View 10... The function in Android Oreo is called Notification channels. EMUI supports them and shows these channels in the settings but option to change sound is for some reason missing.
There are couple of screenshots how function is supposed to look in this article: https://www.androidcentral.com/notification-channels
I wrote message to huawei's support (I think I found form on hihonor website?) and they didn't reply anything particulary useful ("you can change sounds in whatsapp!" - yeah, because it doesn't use these channels for sounds) but at least they promised they forward my "tips for improvement" to higher department, whatever that means.
