Been running 10.1 for about a week now and am loving it. Unfortunately, my first beef with this ROM just popped up and I'm hoping someone out there can help. When selecting a tone for a new alarm (or just setting a ring tone for that matter), I'm prompted to select from the stock system sounds. I know when I first flashed to this ROM I could select to use a set of sounds as my default and am fairly certain I chose the extended bank of sounds. Why limit yourself, right? At any rate, I went to manage applications and can't reset defaults because the button is greyed out and unselectable. The non-standard set of sounds is still in there as evidence of both my alarms going off with the sound I had been looking for and, in addition, I can still see all this "missing" tones when I open up Astro File Manager and go to /mnt/sdcard/system/media/audio. At this point, there are folders for alarms, notifications, ringtones & ui, ALL of which contain sound files...the ones I'm in search of. How can I reset this? Did a nandroid backup when sounds were still accessible and when I reflashed to the backup I was still missing the option to select these sounds. What gives? Help!!

quite disappointingly windows phone doesnt want to let you change sms...recently flashed Chukys rom and the dev had the sms tone changed...
was wondering was there an app/way to change sms ringtone without much bother?
Thanks
i am not sure if this is what you're looking for, but if you want to change SMS ringtone in HD2, go to settings -> Sound & Display -> Notification Sounds -> New Message and there you go. Hope this helps.
You could always navigate to Notification Settings to change your sms ringtone.
If you want a custom ringtone, place the mp3 file in 'My Ringtones' folder in your DEVICE memory, and you can select it from the same settings as above.
You can also put them in My Device/Application Data/Sounds. When you go to Sounds & Notifications they will be in the drop down menu along with the other hundred sounds I routinely delete with every ROM flash, lol.

Is there a way to change the default sound to something other then the pre-loaded HTC sounds? I was able to change the phone ringtone to a song on my sd card. When going to settings, phone ringtone there is a new ringtone button which let me choose whatever I want but when I go to the default sounds I do not have that option. The only option I get is, get more, which takes me to the HTC hub. I tried ringdroid and made a ringtone but it don't show up. I also installed tone picker but it doesn't show up either. Another strange thing is, I am using handcent and have a mp3 selected within handcent but when I get a text it uses the default notification instead. Anyone else having this problem?
I had similar issues. I used HTC Hub to download a new ringtone package, and found out that it just over writes everything I may have had selected.
I've had to go in and redo my ringtone and message notifications a few times, mostly after I hook it up and enable SD storage on the computer.
If I have someone call or send a text message while its hooked up as storage, it changes EVERYTHING back on mine to the stock sound settings.
Ok what i did with mine was use astro file manager to take whatever mp3s i wanted for notifications and copied and pasted them into my notifications folder which will be located in your media folder,open astro click sd card then click media then audio then notifications and paste whatever you want to hear for notifications sounds in there then when you go to your list they should show up and work like a charm.
I think I did that with a file manager and it still didn't show under Notification sounds. You need to hit set as once the desired file is highlighted and set it as a notification that way.
Use Zedge. Its a free app and you can select it as default instead of using system. Works wonders!

Menu --> Personalize --> Notification Sound
This is where you can change the default notification sound as well as the sound for the email app, the messaging app, and the calendar.
This took me awhile to figure out. A new feature of Sense 3.0. Possibly introduced in Sense 2.1. Not sure. But different than the EVO either way...

I have made sure of...
1) Volume is on for the ringer
2) Do not disturb is not enable
3) I can hear the audio from apps - youtube videos, podcasts, music etc
This only started happening with the latest update. After a certain point during up time, I no longer will hear any notification sounds - phone calls, text messages, emails to my inbox, keep alerts, assistant activating
A reboot fixes this.
Anyone else experiencing this?
I've just been around a similar frustrating loop. I'm not a developer and I don't have GAPPS installed so try this and if it doesn't work somebody else more expert may eventually help. Use the settings search box it helps to find your way around. First make sure you have 'Do not Disturb' options turned off (gray). Sound options on my Samsung Lineage17 seem to be in 2 places. The place you find from Settings\Sound shows the volume sliders which should be up. Tap them and check the sound is there. In sound settings you can mute any of these and the green sound bar will show gray. I don't link the ring and notification volumes (gray, off).
Now type 'default notification sound' in the search box and tap the result Default notification sound/sound. Very strangely this puts up the same sound settings as before but with more options to change sound files. I've not yet discovered how to get to this extended screen from Settings. With no GAPPS the default lineageOS sounds are in the OS somewhere I haven't found yet. Installing GAPPS puts Google sound files in the usual root folder.
Before I tried changing from the LineageOS default sound to point my file browser to my custom folder I had no SMS default sound. I had to wipe the System and Dalvick caches then reboot. Since you said you have sounds until some time later, I'm wondering if you have delayed 'Do Not disturb' options set? When you first boot and sound works, check the volume sliders all show green (unmuted). Then when your sounds stop, go back and see if the volume sliders now show gray (muted)? In the past I've found some 3rd party Apps using sounds can interfere with normal default operation and you have to go through the pain of finding the culprit. Good luck.
If I have custom ringtones files I know how to make those work on the LG V30 for the ringer and contacts. But when it comes to using these custom files for Notifications and the like, I can't seem to get them to be available to select. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,

Did you try rebooting after you got them to the phone? I had a hell of a time trying to get an Alarm tone (.ogg) visible in the Clock app. But once I 1) put the file into "emulated/0/Alarms" and 2) rebooted, it finally appeared.
I haven't messed with notification sounds (I use Silent), but maybe you need to have them in a particular directory, and the phone needs to rescan storage for media files in order for your sounds to be available.
any one can help me wana add text tone notifications to my lg v30 can't seen to figure it out
Does anyone else have a problem with their xperia using the default system notification sound for ALL notifications instead of what is set for each app? For instance, snapchat notifications always use the system default instead of the sounds that snapchat specifically is supposed to install and use. It's really annoying as I've gotten inconsistent results trying to set custom notifications for specific apps to use and some refuse to use the custom settings. Is it something I'm doing wrong?
I have the XQ-BC72 version of the phone.
I apologize if this has been asked before, my search didn't pull up anything in this realm of use case.
Thanks.
Can't speak for Snapchat as I do not use it. However, I have different sounds set for different things and they all work as expected. Do you have a separate "notifications" and "ringtones" folder? If not then you need to create each one in the root of the device and place all the 3rd party sounds you want to use in the proper folder. Now in settings you can choose a default notification sound which will be used by default by all your communications apps UNLESS you go into each apps settings to choose a specific one. If for some reason you continue to have issues try to choose "none" for the default notification sound. This way you will have to choose a sound for each app or else you will not hear anything.
