I know you can change ringtones in Mango, but I'm confused if there is a way to create custom alerts as well.
Is this a feature that just isn't implemented yet?
Thanks!

Use the forums search feature, there's a few threads already that explain how to do this.

I did search, and found the only options were linked to Alarm tones.
Maybe you could be so kind as to link a thread/post that goes into Alerts?

Wish people would give the links out and not say "search for it, its out there". I searched google and asked twice on the forum, nothing. If it can't be done fine, but if it can people need to show others.
Also still wondering if this is possible..
Use any music editing software(audacity etc) or Myxer.com and create an .mp3(I think .wav too, I'm not sure) file of the part of the song that u want as a ringtone. It has to be less than 39secs and less than 1MB. Then save the file anywhere on your computer(I save mine where I have my other music). Go to Zune software and locate the file that you made, right click it and change the genre to Ringtone(I had to type mine out) then then sync it to your device and you should be able to set it as a ringtone.

The problem is you expect others to do the work for you. Searching before posting a duplicate thread is part of the XDA ToS.

I can tell you what I did. I followed the instructions in the Mango Tips & Tricks thread. First you need to make sure your intended is less than 40 seconds long & less than 1 MB in size. Also, make sure it's a MP3 or WMA. To do this, used a audio editing software. I used AVS Audio Converter6 (Paid for app). Than load it into Zune by putting it in a folder being monitored by Zune for music. You can check in Zune settings which folders are watched & add or remove folders as needed. Now in the Zune software, find the file & right click on it. Click on Edit, than click the Genre field & type in Ringtone. Than just drag it to the WP7 icon at the buttom of Zune. On your WP7 device, go to the ringtones settings & it'll show up at the top of the list under "Custom". It'll be named by filename btw.

Custom Ringtones
1. Copy MP3 or WMA to Zune Collection. Choose Edit, and type in manually under Genre "Ringtone". The song must be less than 40 seconds and smaller than 1MB.
2. Go to Settings -> Ringtones + Sounds, tap Ringtone. Your custom ringtone will appear under a new tree called "Custom", above "Windows Phone"
Note that it is identified by the filename, rather than the track title.
Also, you can tap and HOLD a ringtone, and Delete will be offered (but only on the Custom ones; preloaded ones grey out delete).

I can see and empathise with TooSlo's frustration here - he's asking if its possible to create alert tones and folks are beating him up for it and sending him info on how to create ring tones. Unfortunately, you can't use ringtones for the various alert tones.
I suppose a hack is possible. It may be as easy as finding the appropriate category and editing the metadata (like you do with Ringtones).
same problem ive had searching for custom alerts.. nobody understands the question.
is there any way to make the question clearer for people to understand what were after? i say that in a non-sarcastic manner truly

I can't find any information that allows for custom alerts. I've been looking for this as well.
Not tried in latest Mango but I did in 7712
Sideload Touch Explorer and send yourself the tone you want but rename as ALERT 10 etc (we have to overwrite one of the built in ones)
Open the email and download the attachment then using Touch Ecplorer look in the volatile folders and you will see your file then copy and paste to the windows folder.
You may have to open the email and open attachment a few times before it shows in volatile but you will find it eventually
Hope this helps
That's more or less the same thing you have to do in Mango, but with provxmls. Follow this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1238519
You can try this: Advanced Configuration Tool 1.3.0.0 beta available - for Mango only
That app have this option.
Just to let everyone know I have just reflashed my HD2 to Mango 7720, and used the email, copy and paste to windows folder and it still works
To be more precise email yourself a wma file and call it something like Alert-10.wma the open your email and download then play the attachment.
Then press home key and open touch explorer and navigate to APPLICATION DATA then VOLATILE and then EMAILATTACHMENTS and look in any folders you find here then using touch explorer copy and paste the file to the WINDOWS folder and overwrite.
Then set alert 10 as your chosen tone (or whatever number you used) and hey presto
looks like us without htc have to find an alternative to modify the filesystem? it seems touch explorer only works on htc devices for the time being. I did test out the advanced config tool, but it doesnt seem to have privs to modify much of anything yet
anyone else have luck on LG?

The problem here is that you and many others who have posted how to make ringtones haven't bothered to understand what the original post was asking. This is what is wrong with forums these days. You do a google search and you get a question asked in a forum and instead of any good info, you get a senior member "beating up" some guy for arriving at their site. If you do not want to answer questions then don't post. These types of forums are meant to be a help, so be HELPFUL. At least post a link that answers the question, not a google search that will bring them right back to their question.
The original post WAS NOT asking how to make ringtones; we all knew how to do that before Mango was released. The question was the ALERTS that WP7 uses for SMS, MMS, email and alarms. I too was doing my own footwork when I came upon this question. And of course like many other responses to my google search, they all talk about RINGTONES. I did however find on this forum a post that might answer this one's question.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1368361
The answerer mentions using something called touchxperience/touchxplorer, but does not go into any detail as to how he was able to accomplish this.
I can imagine I'll go to that post and reply as to how he did it and some senior member will beat me up and say something about how I should do my own research.
BE HELPFUL!! Please.

i had used heathcliff's file deployer and deployed to /my documents/my ringtones (i think it was a .wma)
then changed the registry path for sms ringtones to point to the file. i think i used wp root tools to change the registry entry since it was easier than finding it in the registry.
that should work for LG phones also

I tried it last month and all of the filesystem tools I had attempted were unable to make modifications. I tried Advanced explorer, diagprovxml(I think this was for maybe getting the wifi tether working..), and another one that I cannot recall at the moment. None of these were able to successfully modify the files properly.
LG still no go for me, unless someone else has gotten it to work since I last tried?

That is out dated information neither Touch experince nor Touch explorer are currently working on Mango. Supposedly there is a beta version that works on Mango but you have to donate and ask the dev to be a beta tester and wait and see if he actually responds. Well I'm waiting of a straight forward way.
Hi guys, First post and firstly, thank you to everyone here as I have spent years coming to this site and reading posts and using it as a bible for android.
Now I'd like to blame this on someone else but i made the mistake and it's a stupid one as i knew better but kinda rolled the dice.
There is a thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1676739
And it worked perfectly on my Note 1.
I have been going through call recorders in the app store and the only one that worked was Automatic call recorder. However while having trouble with my google app account i had to get a call recorder working as i had an important call to make and i went back to that thread above and flashed the application on my NOTE TWO.
Of course it didnt seem to work.
However ive now got my google app account working so i was able to pay for the premium version of automatic call recorder, and what do you know, it records calls terribly, but worse than that i get a notification saying it has not worked properly and saved the call because something else is trying to record the call.
So of course i believe it is that thread above which i flashed to my phone.
I have gone back and restored to a previous version, wiped phone and factory reset and all that but it still appears something else is trying to record the call.
Could someone please tell me how i remove my mistake from the phone that i flashed and be rid of it?
That app in the thread i have linked to is awesome on note one but of course it wasnt made for my note 2 N7105 lte.
I want to delete it but cant find it anywhere in the files or im obviously not looking in the right polace or not knowing how to remove something ive flashed.
PLEASE help me out here and get this mistake off my phone.
Also if someone knows a call recording app which is amazing for the note 2, please advise.
Hello. Did the developer of the mod gave anything like recover flashable zip? You can contact the dev and ask for one if he has any. Anyway, you can try to read this article (here). It has a Disclaimer, read it please.
And oh, don't you have a backup of your stock rom?
Hi,
I use a note4 - lollipop - rooted.
I wanted to make a second back up with my TB when I noticed that the application shows zero apps and zero data on the appropriate window.
Besides, the first back up I got is, like a sort of overlined on it. However rest seems to be ok.
Can anyone say what happened and how can it be fixed??
Thx.

I am unable to play whatsapp voice messages on a Lenovo a 7700 android 6.0 device. I also tested on another Lenovo device which is a tablet 8.
In both cases, after pressing the play button, the content is played for approximately a second and then it stops playing. The user has to press the play button again and it will play the content for approximately another second again.
This started happening almost simultaneously about a month ago. I am assuming that there may be a whatsapp update that happen automatically on both of these devices. All I can find is that a whatsapp had recently changed the voice file format. But I am able to play with the new voice file format on both devices if I share the content to my email and then download and play it.
I have tried a variety of after researching various links on the Internet but have not been able to resolve the issue. Since the only thing that is common between the two mobile devices on which I tested this android 6.0 version, I'm wondering if there is any problem with that specific version.
Thanks for any inputs
I only way I could communicate with the outside world using a computer in device. So this is very important to me.
Thank you
Are you sure that your WhatsApp Messenger is the latest version, Version 2.17.422? If not, upgrade it and try again, please.
I upgraded to 2.17.427
Thank you for your response. I upgraded to the latest version of the reading your response. The earlier version was in the 300 series.
I'm still facing the same issue in both the devices.
Here is a query that may possibly at least provide some kind of a workaround.
There's whatsapp rely on an external player or does it have an internal player? Can I somehow configure it to use an external player? If so, then I can download a player specifically for that file format.
When I send the file as an attachment in email and then download the file and then play using Google play music, it works okay. The problem is that it is difficult for me to do all of these steps with the problem in my hands.
Even if there is some way where I can share this whatsapp message with the voice automatically to a player which can then play it, that will be good. However, on android, we are not given that choice. We can only share through email, Bluetooth and share it. If I can somehow configure whatsapp to share the messages to an audio player, that would also work.
Thanks for any inputs.

Clear the cache of the WhatsApp and replay please
There is no cache available on whatsapp
Thank you for your response. I checked whatsapp but there is no cache setting available on whatsapp.
There is an option that tells you about the storage used for photo whatsapp and I deleted the storage for one particular contact and then tried sending a voice message through the same contact. It still does not work.
I have double checked the version. It is shown on the help/app info menu.
It is kind of surprising that I am the only one who seems to be having a problem and that too at multiple devices. I don't even own one of the devices which is Lenovo. However, it has been installed more than one year ago and has been working fine.
Please suggest if there is any way to troubleshoot this.
Is there any is kind of a whatsapp forum for bugs where people can report any of the problems that they find.
Thank you for your perseverance and continuing to respond on this thread. Highly appreciated.

Thank you for your response. I cleared the cache. It did not work. Ultimately, I uninstalled whatsapp. Then I reinstalled again (without rebooting the phone). Whatsapp was able to find messages from Google Drive and asked me if I wanted to restore them? In the hope to fix the issue, I wanted to do a completely new start so I did not restore the messages also.
It is still showing the problem. I'm really perplexed as to what can whatsapp remember after installation that the same problem is still being experienced. Is there something external to whatsapp that could because the problem?

Did this method survive an update?
Edit: just saw above it doesn't even survive reboot so an upgrade even less likely.
Who has already tried it, does it work?
Good afternoon,
Problem when adding ringtone to OPPO Watch. If you add them to the /sdcard/Ringtones/ category and after restarting the watch, they are displayed in the "Settings-Sound-Ringtone of the watch". The ringtone can be listened to and selected as a ringtone. However, during a test call to the clock, instead of the ringtone, a system sound similar to the sound of an error plays. And if you make a test call through "Find a device", then the ringtone works.
I tried to add a ringtone via ADB to the root of the system, where the standard ringtones are located. But, when copying, it gives an error. Through the file manager, when copying, the ringtone is not saved. Perhaps this is due to the restriction of rights. You need root rights.
Please tell me someone was able to deal with this problem?
Thank you!
After Samsung Watch 4 classic & Watch 4 Pro got the latest firmware update .Samsung locked many things.Like earlier one can add custom ringtones & notifications. But now one cannot at all.No matter what you do you can't set or add a custom ringtone or notifications. (BUT)
