how do you set custom rings or sounds on the hero for txt i tried ringo lite and created a folder called ringtones but in riingo my songs did not populate into the app
You need to go into your messaging app & set the ringtone from there
But you can't set different songs for different people which is really annoying, as it's such a basic function nowadays.
you got me on the texts but you can use a custom ringtone on the calls

Hi there, first of all im a noob and ive been only using this phone for a week or so. I am wondering, is there a function to set a message alert (SMS ringtone) specifically to certain contacts? Its frustrating to use global message alert for all the contacts. It would be nice if I can know who is messaging me by assigning them a specific ringtone. Please advice
anyone care to help?

oldSAP Oist v1.4 individual SMS Tones
thanks bro.. One more question.. When choosing a tone, how do I access the folder that has default msg tones?
Update: This software only plays wav files
Sorry if this has been asked before but how do I set an Mp3 as my email notification or ringtone? Its driving me mad!!!
Also does anybody know where I can get the "you have email" notification sound that is from the AOL webmail login (UK with female voice)
Thanks in advance

Use the app "Tone Picker - MP3 Ringtones" from market (free), then go and set ringtone for notification noise, and choose the MP3 using Tone Picker
No idea about the other bit.
Thanks mate but this app still doesn't allow me to choose a dedicated tone for email.
Surely its a bloody basic feature to be able to select ringtones,alerts from my files.....I could do it on a basic Nokia years ago!

On the root of your SD create a folder called "media". Inside that, create "audio". Inside that put folders called "alarms", "notifications" and "ringtones" . then put your mp3s in your relevent folders,... then you should be able to find them when trying to select them.

The easiest way is probably to use a file manager. For example, if you have Astro installed, just long-press the mp3 file and select Music Options > Set as Ringtone.
Alternatively you can make one folder: Media>Audio>Alarms>Notifications>Ringtones
Put all your mp3 files here and you can assign them as alarms, sms tones or ringtones.

Which mail app are you using? I am on Froyd 1.1.1 right now, which uses vanilla mail. When I open settings, I can pick my ringtone for the Email notification.So then I install tonepicker, and when I open this menu, I am asked what I want to choose tone with. I choose tonepicker, and then it lets me pick an MP3 or whatever I want
If you tell us what type of email account it is, we can see what you need to do...
I find this pretty hard to understand, why isn't their a simple switch to change your incoming calls ring tones [for all your calls, not changing them one by one]? Pretty basic setup I think
any ideas?

ditto.......very easy actually. Since you had so much trouble figuring this out let me tell you now, you can't assign a ring tone to each contact if you have them saved as a gmail contact..

But you can import your gmail contacts as a phone contact, link the two, and then assign a ringtone to the phone contact. Kind of redundant yes, but I like it better than having all the email addresses I've communicated with via Gmail showing up as Gmail contacts on the phone.
Actually there is an app in the market that allows you to assign ringtones to each specific contact, even gmail contacts. Unfortunately I bricked my phone last night and can't just look to see what the name of the app is. Once I get my new phone and get it going I'll post the name of the app.

Ringroid or Ringo/RingoPro
I have the Motorola Photon 4G, and the one thing I miss about my LG Rumor 2 (Yes, very old) is the ability to set a custom vibration for SMS, MMS, Calls, Email, and other various things. I also miss being able to give contacts certain ringtones. Like for my GF it would play a melody and when my Mom or Dad called it would play a siren. Is there app or mod that can do this for me? I would still like to use the stock dialer and contact manager though.
Any help?
You should be able to set a ringtone for each contact in the Contacts manager. That will apply for the calls from each person.
This app will allow you to set a tone for incoming text messages and the "Plus" version of that app will work for text and MMS.

For ringtones, make a new file in your sd card called ringtones, put the ringtones inside and set it from your settings>sound
For vibrations, I'm not sure.
This will only work for ringtones, not message tones, Unfortunately.
Are there any other apps out there people would like to recommend?
,ake a folder in sd card with the name ringtones and put all ur custom rings in there .den u can hav em and about vibration i guess there is no such way....there are sum apps available which just sets the vibration times...
Assumption: I assume that these phones will not allow customized text tones per phone number in contacts list like anything after Samsung s6/s7?
Such a shame that Samsung pulled what I think is a no brainer important feature.
There are apps to get around this but you have to keep at least one text message from every contact to assign a text tone to that contact.
I did find an old version of Contacts+ .apk that I side-loaded that works on my S8 and had to extract it and re-sign it so a newer version of that app would not come back down on updates. At one point Contacts Plus broke their own feature.
But you have to use this app as the messaging app in stead of anything else.
Thanks
Peter
I use Textra for this feature. Works great, and can customize vibration patterns as well.

I use to use Textra, loved it if only for the signature line. Left it for google messaging and RCS. Did Textra ever integrate it? Don't see it on any change logs or product description.
