[APP] [2.1+] SMS Sounds - Lightweight Add-on to Stock Messaging App - Set text tones!

This app is in its early stages as is the developer! Please let me know if you encounter any issues.
SMS Sounds
Set custom ringtones for each of your contacts when you receive SMS text messages! This app will not bloat your phone as it should be used in addition to the default messaging software on your phone.
You can setup every contact with their own ring so you know when to leave the phone on the couch and not reply to them for an hour. Or, you will know when to look at your phone immediately as your curiosity gets aroused as you’ve been waiting for their text.
There are three selections in SMS Sounds. First, you’ll have to add a ringtone to each of your contacts. Next, you can edit them at any time (be sure to click save before exiting the screen). And third, view them all in one complete list.
Feel free to contact us at [email protected] with any bugs or issues that will be fixed as though we are getting paid by the hour. Or send us feature requests that may never be added.
FAQ’s:
Q: Why does the ringtone keep playing until I answer it?
A: Some ringtone files are set to loop endlessly. You can check this when you are in the ringtone picker. Select a tone and if it continues to ring over and over, it will also loop when you receive an SMS. The best thing for you to do is create or pirate your own .wav or .mp3 files that do not loop and set them as the tones.
Q: Why do I get two notifications for every SMS text I receive?
A: This common problem occurs when you either have a default notification still set or you are using another messaging application that has its own notification tone. To remove the default notification, go to Settings > Sound > Notification ringtone > Silent. Don’t ask me how to shut them off for other custom applications, I didn’t develop them and I certainly don’t recommend them!
Q: Why am I not able to see all my ringtones (internal or external)?
A: SMS messages are handled via notifications. Your sound files (ex: .ogg, .wav, .mp3, etc) have to be within a folder labeled “notifications” to be recognized by the application. Move or copy your ringtones into the “notifications” folder. This isn’t my rule; I have to live by it just like you. TIP: Notifications should not be an entire song unless you want to hear the whole song each time someone sends a message. We suggest you create a shorter file of approximately 2 to 5 seconds for notifications. For example, don’t setup Freebird as a tone.
Q: Why do the notifications quit working?
A: If you use applications that require high resources/memory, the operating system can shut down the application causing it to stop working. Re-open the application and toggle the “Tones Enabled?” checkbox to off and then back to on to continue hearing the wonderful sounds of your incoming messages.
Q: I setup a contact but the phone doesn’t ring when they send me a text.
A: That isn’t a question. We’d start by checking the list of contacts in the view screen to make sure the phone number matches the number received by your messaging application. If they do not match exactly, the phone will not sound off. You’ll need to edit the contact information in the phone’s address book. Then go back into the ringtone setup in SMS Sounds and select a tone for the new entry.

Made some design changes to make it easier to setup for contacts.

Looking for comments from anyone who has downloaded the app.

I've updated this to work with ICS. Not sure anyone on ICS right now uses the stock messaging app though.

[X1][5.0 transform]Knowledge Required and Ideas

Hello friends!
I need some ideas and help from your knowledge-full minds if you don't mind sharing some
My first one its a problem and it sounds like this:
I really need to see where this popup is located so I can disable it because its getting anoying. Everytime I send some big sms messages and I pass a number of sent mesagges/hour, this system popup appears and I have to dismiss it for every sms message.

}
Translation: SMS Bomber (the app i used to simulate my daily use of sms messages) sends a big number of sms messages. Do you allow this app to send messages?
And the radio buttons are "deny" and "allow"
I used every popup blocker/finder and i can't seem to find it. I manualy searched for it in system files, I took almost every .xml file one by one and searched for a clue but i can't seem to find it at all. I made a logcat but i can't seem to understand what that big amount of data is telling me. Does anyone have a clue about this kind of system popup and how to disable it?
EDIT: i found out what's causing it, and that is the 100 sms limit generic on any android smartphone, but in my smartphone its ducking 20 msg/hour. I tried all the ways, with 3-party apps, sql editor and manual adding but it still shows up. Any ideas?
EDIT 2: I fixed it. Looks like that on 4.2 you have to add the entry in the global db
The second one its not a problem, i just need some advice. I want to customize my stock rom to the max (there isn't a custom rom for my smartphone and I want to make it just like Android 5.0 with only root acces and stock recovery/rom) and i managed to modify the status bar with exposed, I took a launcher that was just like lolipop, i modified the ppi, I tweaked the guI with some xposed plugins but that is not enought because my popups, power menu and settings menu are the same. I read something about framework res but i am not sure about it and what does it do. Do you have any info that can help me? Maybe i will publish the rom for my smartphone after I tweak it a little bit if i manage to do it well.
The third one is a problem that bothers me from when i bought the phone. Whenever i plug in my smartphone a usb cable, my telephony signal dies. I can't receive/send any calls or sms messages in that time. What could it be?
The forth and the last one is about a thing that I want on my phone and i can't seem to find nothing. I want to wake/unlock my phone without using the power button (i have a 5" smartphone and the power button is located in the upper side) with a double tap or a gesture. I heard that i need kernel-level permisions and that i need a super-amoled or amoled screen (because of the black pixels that don't light up when they are black) but nexus 4 has "Touch control" app that lets it do the knock wake but it has IPS display like mine so i guess it is possible. Any ideas?
EDIT: managed to use Tap Tap App and it's ok
Sorry for the long post, here is the cat-tax and the potato-tax
And sorry for my english, it's not my first language

[Q] Twitter notification tone

Is any one else having problems picking a notification tone with Twitter? Every time I pick one it just goes back to default. Thank you for any help.

Yes I posted the same problems.. and now I'm getting no notifications

Download fenix instead or the new twitter from www.apkmirror.com

the latest APK does the same - reverts back to the default. One option my wife thought of was to change the default to silent and then change the notifications in the other apps.
There are many other apps but none will push the notifications outside of the app for the tweets of people you request because of the Twitter API.

I have the same problem. The button to save the notification sound setting is missing (and exiting the page doesn't automatically save the change).

any resolution on this subject?

No there's been a few updates but no fix for this on the s6. I reported it to twitter but I suppose it's not a very big issue really

Still not seeing any resolution on the latest build 5.69.0

Same issue on the note 5

Here we are 6 months down the line and they still haven't fixed it.

Set "default notification sound" in phone settings to the one you want for Twitter then change notification for messages to the one you want for SMS msgs.
Sent from my SM-G920F

The problem is there is no OK button on the notification sound dialog box on the GS6/Note 5.
My wife has a Note 4 and the same Twitter app version has an OK button which successfully changes the tone.
My Note 5 doesn't have an OK buton. Backing out is the same as the cancel button.
Note 5:

Note 4:

Same problem on the Samsung S7. This is really annoying. Please somebody fix this problem

Agreed. Seems like both a minor issue, and because it has lingered for so long, a very annoying one.
Even the Default/Messages setting workaround upthread is a no go for me, because there are apps (i.e. my local news app that send breaking news alerts) that give the Twitter sound with that setup.
Seems this should have been fixed a long time ago.

Download es file Explorer. Remove the app defaults for twitter/media storage. Open twitter and go to notifications. When it pops up the app to use choose es file Explorer and browse to ur customer notification. Works for me on s7

Confused by notification sounds under vibration mode

Hi, my Pixel 3a is making a sound whenever there is a notification, although I have set the phone to vibrate (even in the do-not-disturb mode!). I have used Android phones for the past eight years, so I think I am pretty familiar with all the little things with Android, but I am just confused to hell about what is going on. I checked a few settings, and they look okay to me (which means that it would behave "normally" on my old phone). I have media volume set to non zero, but that should not matter as I understand.
I think if I turn off app notification sound in individual app's notification settings it should work, but obviously it is a daunting task that I do not want to bother.
I wonder if you can offer some advice. Thank you.

Yeah this confuses me as well. The only way i found was to tap the notifcation symbol again so it turns to the bell with the line through it. But then theres no vibrate either

I still have the notification sounds under the mute mode (and was again waken by a sound at 5am this morning). I suspected this may have something to do with Google Assistant, and while I am not 100% sure about it, I tried something and it worked for me: I turned off "notification access" (Apps & notifications > special app access, or via search) of "Google" and some other apps, tried to trigger notifications, and the phone vibrated/stayed silent as expected. I turned them back on, and everything still works fine. Hope they do not com back.
You may want to give that a try.
EDIT: DO NOT turn the access back on -- it may fail after you reconnect to your Bluetooth headset.

There is a thread for it now:
https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixe..._bug/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share

Since these notification channels were implemented, the whole way of the notifications being served got upside down and confusing. R&D forgot at 7.0 already that android is a phone os, some people don't have time to granularly tune each and every app and set the sound and vibrate and other bs.

Same here, Facebook's notifications can come with a weird sound even if I cut off any sound...

Question Calendar Notification inconsistency

Hello,
I searched for this calendar thing before but I did not find anything similar to this so a new post, so my question is, I have my Google calendar filled with some daily activities and on the time mentioned in that event, I get a notification and it shows on the watch, so these events are created by using recurrence, so the one that comes on the next day is exactly the same, but one day on my watch instead of just a normal notification, I saw a screen similar to when we turn off the alarm but for the event, but just once and never saw it again even though the events are exactly same for all the days, am I missing something? is there a way where I can see that screen every time the event is notified? I think that is a better reminder that just a simple vibration/sound which is same for every other notifications.

Not sure if I follow what you are saying, but my notifications come up with snooze or close (I think) if I have a reminder set.

yes! this is what I want, but I get a simple text notification which is just a normal informative/non-interactive notification, so I got the snooze/close screen once, and I had set an event(like every other activity), I'll check if setting a reminder does the thing.
Update: So I set a reminder and this is how I get a notification, and this is how I get for any event too, but I want that stop/snooze screen instead of a simple notification

Do you get the snooze/stop on your phone?

No, I don't

I would start there and check notification settings on the phone. Not really sure what you may have done, but that is where I would start. Check calendar first. Setup a event and see if you can get it to show. I am not sure, but the Samsung calendar app does not show this as a pop-up. Only as a notification.

Ok, let me check if I can get that screen on the phone first, I'll update you with the results.

tldr; Reminder screen for calendar event only shows up if the watch is not connected to the phone, looking for ways to get that screen to show up when connected to the phone.
I think I found the issue, I was charging my watch and I usually put it on airplane mode while charging so it disconnects from the phone and during the time I was charging it there was one daily event that I had set up on Google Calendar which was due, so when the watch was disconnected, it showed me that stop and snooze screen for that particular event, so I don't know if this counts as a solution that whenever I'll want to see the reminder screen(stop and snooze), I'll have to disconnect my watch and only then it'll show me that screen. I feel that this should be present even if the watch is connected to the phone, after trying to play with some settings I found out that, reminder screen only appears when it is disconnected from the phone
things I tried(Did not work):
- Turned off the notifications from the GC app
- Turned off notifications from the wearable app for GC
both of these settings did not work, will be trying more
edit1
things I tried (did not work):
- Disabling the GC app
- Downgrading the GC app to the native version which came pre-installed with the stock rom of phone.
The reminder screen that is displayed is from Samsung calendar app and when the watch is connected to the phone, I guess it expects the phone to trigger the reminder screen but as I have a non Samsung phone I only have GC which only shows the generic notification as a reminder.
