I got a pocophone 2 pro
the problem is I changed notification tones within specific apps but those sounds do not work instead it wil use the notification sound from within settings > sounds
does anyone know how to get this working?
That's one of the reasons why I hate Miui.
It happened first to me on WhatsApp and on Telegram too, amongst others.
You must investigate and go to the Settings - Manage Apps, find out the app, go to the app Notifications settings (you continue into the Miui Settings...) and configure sounds in there. Maybe you must to activate notifications also.
As you see, if you must do all that dancing for 4 or 5 apps, this is not the best thing for non-advanced users...
I have forgotten : make sure that Miui doesn't kill the app or "optimise" it on battery settings!

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?
Is there any way to prevent an individual app from a running in the background on oxygenos
I ask because I recently used a Nokia + plus and it had this feture to toggle individual apps to prevent them running in the background.
I use use some apps only occasionally and I don't like the thought of them running in the background using up my resources.I know you can force stop them but that's not as user friendly. Theres inactive apps in developer options too but this needs to be checked often.

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.
I've been checking around of the settings of this first Android 10 beta for Oneplus 6.
In notification settings of android system I have bunch of weird user installable apps of which notification permits there is a possibility to set. (setting if the app can be over others)
Weird thing is that I don't have those installed! I recognize using most of them from long ago with different phones, BUT not in this one!
And I cannot change their permits.
Can they be some sort of residue of automatic backups to Google?
See the screenshot.
Could you check yours, because if you have your own different residues, this is something that is clearly a huge bug on whole lot of versions of android.
Anyone?
Greetings,
So I've successfully installed Lineage OS 18.1 Nightly and it runs really well. I've got the NikGapps Core and Magisk installed. Was able to add the apps I like from Google Play store and used the free or open source alternatives I could find for others.
I have a few questions for anyone using Lineage since I'm not sure if these are bugs or design choices or parts of Android 11.
Any clarification would be great. Basically, there's a few things I noticed that are different/don't seem to operate normally.
I can upload screenshots if necessary but let me give you the cliff notes of what I'm experiencing:
-No labels on the home screen icons, even though setting says "Show labels on desktop". Is this me interpreting something incorrectly?
-All icons on the home screen and app drawer appear to have a white background... should be transparent?
-The default sms messaging app always shows quick replay phrases despite turning off the setting "Always suggest quick actions/replies" in the notifications menu
-There is no way to turn off suggested apps... when you use an app it places it in a new section at the top of the app drawer. Looks like the menu setting is missing (there in vanilla A11).
-There is no built in volume limited. This was on my stock Galaxy S7 so if it is an OEM thing I understand. Perhaps you have a suggestion?
-Notifications from the default sms messaging app do not pop up over other on screen elements (specifically fullscreen video in Brave). Does this have to do with the "Bubbles" setting under notifications?
-Screen automatically dims/sleeps when watching fullscreen video (again in Brave)... happens inconsistently and going in/out of fullscreen seems to stop it from happening again.
-There is no swype ability on the keyboard. I assume this is a OEM keyboard setting or something.. is there an alternate keyboard you would recommend (open source, free) that won't steal your info/privacy violations?
-Last thing which is more of a question than anything else, since I cannot install a stable twrp, I used the Lineage OS recovery. It doesn't seem to have a backup/restore function. So is there a way for me to, with the setup I currently have, to do a complete and full backup? By this I mean like capture an image of all the partitions as they currently are, as you would with a PC.
Sorry for n00b but the last unlocked rooted custom rom I ran was Cyanogen back on a Motorola Photon. Thank you in advance, any input or clarification is much appreciated as you are a helpful, insightful bunch here.
