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?

I'm running KelLMSKing MIUI and wondering if there's a way to set a custom notification sound for a contact? Or if anyone can recommend an app that allows it? I had the option when I had a CM7, but now I can't remember if it was CM7 specific or Go Contacts that I was using that enabled it.
And even cooler would be if there is a way to set a default notification sound for contacts not in the address book.
Any ideas?
Isn't that a stock feature of the contacts app?
Start the app, contacts tab, choose a contact by clicking hte name, press menu button, "options", choose ringtone.
Oops, sorry I should have been more clear. I mean a text message notification, not ringtone.
There are different SMS apps in the market.
Handcent SMS can do what you wish. An alternative is GoSms Pro.
Ahh, it was a feature of Go SMS that I used to have. I just installed Handcent (since I've already tried Go) and found the option to change the notification sound for a contact.
I was hoping there would be a way to set a notification sound for contacts not in my address book, but there doesn't seem to be. In other words, have a default sound for everyone, I can customize it for some, and a different sound for someone I don't know. Mostly so that I can set it so that texts from Facebook will sound different, and can be ignored.
As a workaround, I will try adding all of facebook's numbers as they come in to a contact.
Thanks for pointing me to Handcent!
EDIT: It's a terrible workaround. Even though I can add all the 326-123-45 numbers from facebook into one contact, Handcent assigns the custom sms notification to the number, not the contact. So then I'll have to go through and edit the notification for each one anyway.
So now I'm still looking for a way to assign a custom notification sound to unknown contacts.
Hello guys!
Last night, I set a custom ringtone for a contact via 'People'. I noticed that the effect it has - Calls and Whatsapp notifications from this contact now uses the same custom ringtone which I set yesterday. When I tried to set it back to 'Default', I noticed that there's no 'Default' option in the list of ringtones available. The ringtone which was default can be selected but that would results in Whatsapp ringtone to use that one too instead of its own default ringtone, which is a different one.
Appreciate it very much if someone know how to actually reset contact ringtone back to default? Its driving me nuts!
Thank you.

Guys, I'm trying to set a specific tone to a specific contact on Hangouts.
But even though I've set it, when I get a message it gives me the default ringtone.
I do have Gravity Box, but in the Ultimate Notification Control for Hangout I've unchecked Override tone.
Any ideas?
Hi... I've converted to Android 3 days now and love my new P20! But... One feature I miss from my iPhone is setting different notification sounds for emails / texts / apps. I also had separate text tones for each contact. I can see how you do this in Android. Is there a way to do this? All help & guidance gratefully received!
Juls.
Sadly you cannot do these (As of my knowledge) with EMUI 8.1 . But you can change the call ringtone of reach contact by going to Contacts -> The Contact name -> Ringtone to change the ringtone
I will be trying to find a way in the meantime
If you're using gmail app, open app, hit settings, go to general settings, manage notifications, then click on the mail account (left side where is says "Allow these notifications to make sounds") and not the bar to turn on notifications. Now click on sound to choose your sound.
I have a 12 Lite, but I'm guessing this might be similar for all 12 models.
I'm using the standard Google Messages app, and I like to set different sound notifications for text messages from certain contacts. So to start, I go into the main Messages settings area, then Notifications, Incoming Messages, and set a universal ringtone sound we'll call "A". So far so good. Then I go into a conversion I want to make unique, hit the three dots, Details, Notifications, and change the Sound to ringtone "B".
Problem is, changing to ringtone "B" for a specific contact also goes back and changes it to "B" for the universal ringtone for everybody. Then if I go back to re-set the universal ringtone to "A", it also overwrites the specific one I had set for my unique contact. I can't keep them separate.
I've also tried doing this from the main Settings app, and it behaves the same way (I think they both end up in the same place anyhow)
Has anyone successfully set unique text notification sounds for specific contacts?
