So, go easy on the n00b please...
(if this already exists, I am going to feel stupid, lol)
What I want is an easy way to set the phone so the call ring volume is up, but the notifications are all silent. Sure, I can go into my emails, and text apps and do it manually...but I was wondering if there is an app that does this in one step.
Also, going a step further, is there an app that allows you to set caller profiles? Like, say you want to silence the phone for everyone but one or two people at nite, for example, or when you are taking a nap(like us old folks do, lol)
Thanks in advance!
May have answered my own question. It looks like Tasker will do this...

Thanks DS36, I will check that out too!
I use "volume control" and its great. Allows you to set individual volumes for system, ringer, notifications, media, alarm, and in call. You can also create up to 3 custom volume profiles.
I'll look into that one too, thanks!
Hi, I new to the android platform, but I am a longtime xda user. But I did spend most of my time at ppcgeeks. I'm coming from the pro2 and the titan before that, and both were on winmo.
So here is what I am looking for, I want a spb backup type of app to save all my programs, user info and the like. I would also like a gprofile type of app also. I'm kind of nervous about rooting until I can backup the things I have downloaded and the username/passwords I have saved.
I have searched through the market and google for both of these and couldn't find anything on either of these. I have found everything else I needed, it is just these two that I can't find. Maybe I was searching for the wrong terms or something, so any help would be appreciated.
One last thing, does anybody have any recommendations for websites that stream tv that work with our phones. I can't get atdhe or Justin.tv either one to work. And of course my Hava product doesn't have a working android app. Being the avid college football fan that I am, I need to find a good solution for this too.
Thanks for any and all help
Brandon.
Titanium backup will save your apps and app data system settings Bluetooth and wifi conections and stuff but you need to be rooted to use it.
Sms backup an a restore will back up and restore your text and you don't need root access.
Google backs up you r system setting s and wallpaper if you allow it. It will also redownload you r apps but not the data you had with them.
This all gets restored when you sign in your google account.

Thanks man for the answer. I was beginning to think no one had any answers to help me with.
WP8 gives you the option to change SMS, email, etc tone, but I want to use my own sound. Anyone know if this is possible on WP8?

would like to know as well. Thanks!
Unfortunately no. You can only use custom ringtones. Txt, voicemail and Email have to use one of the canned tones. That and the ability to not have unread text or voicemail repeat notifications. My phone is also my pager and when on call, I need this to go off mored than once to wake me up most times. I'm hoping to find an app to address this but for now, these are about the only things I really find annoying about the phone.
Returning for Android
Well after searching for an app to allow custom tones for messages, etc to no avail, I've decided to return the phone and go back to Android. Not only are the options there but there are also better apps such as SMS Popup which I can't live without when my on-call rotation comes around again.

Never really understood the need for this, as long as it makes a sound I am good But I guess thats a personal choice to make. Good luck with Android

Simple, my phone is also my pager and when I am on-call for ~ 2,000 Windows servers, if something goes wrong, I need those pages to wake me up. Something the stock one-time-only tones won't do. I know I'll do well with Android, used it for a few years but had hopes for WP8. Perhaps future uprades will provide basic functions/features Andoird and to some extent Apple offers in their products.
Still nothing on this? What the F#$k is wrong with MS? Since MS can't or wont' can we get Nokia to do this, I mean they are doin all the work from MS anyway.

Hello soprry if this has been asked before but i couldnt find it through search
is there any way in an i9300 or android to have a centralized profile manager for ringtones and notification sounds where you can modify every apps ringtone options like i remember the blackberry had? this is so i dont have to go into every app to change the sounds (i think if i want the same sound i can modify it on the launcher setings and set apps to default, but if i want a diferent one for each app i have to open each app and change that) what im looking for is and app that has a list of, for example, all IM apps anc modyfy its notif sounds either individually or in lots, the same for calls, emails, videocalls, etc
heres is a screenshot of what it looked like in bb

hello guys
i made mistake and use textra for two year, well it was a better app than stock android 4.3 sms app,but yesterday i noticed new messaging app from Cyanogenmod 12.1 on my xperia sp is great! and then i noticed because i,m a flashoholic and play around with so much rom, i never backuped my messaging storage apart from textra,so then i backed up my messaging storage with SMS Backup & Restore app until i find i dont have my older ( 60000+) message from textra! so yea had a small search and find out textra sms is the only sms app that use its own database! [email protected]$#%^&%#%& !! and there is no way to get it on stock or any other sms app beside convert messaging.db from textra database.
i find this : https://github.com/sync-oz/convert-textra-db-to-xml
but i cant figure it out how to do it in windows 10 and i,m not expert on this kind of method
can you get me right and more specific Instructions from link above? or can you make a simple app with script that read textra database and convert it to xml?
can anybody save me from textra?
Nobody? Just a tip to how to do it?

If you didn't make a backup before making your mod then its probably gone.

To be honest restoring sms data is asking to corrupt the dB which can lead to sms app not working properly

I wouldn't know where to start with that even if I needed to.
I agree that trying that would probably just lead to more issues because you are crossing apps and crossing operating systems and the operating systems are different versions. Usually, an operating system doesn't like files that were saved or generated in another operating system and android versions don't like files from other android versions. Depending on the data that is from other systems, that system kind of "tags" it so that it knows that it was the one that created it and where it was saved to, that can cause issues due to partitioning differences between android versions.
Are the messages that important?

I have to agree. When I asked textra about it they stated that it was encrypted so only their app could read it.

Yes! Some of the messages are really important.
I know what you saying, but textra app make me use its own app like forever, and thats not what i want! And database of textra is seprate from any system function,and if we convert it to xml it just can be readable for stock sms app in every other rom,
Just look at the app to know it better

Yea they say that but i think thats a lie, because i have my messaging.db (database) from textra and it is readable even from a simple text editor, and i can see my message in the file, but its just for textra. I know it can be convert, just look at this :
https://github.com/sync-oz/convert-textra-db-to-xml

Yeah, I'm sure its easily readable in a text editor, there is a difference in reading a .txt file in a text editor and viewing an actual text message.
But bringing those texts to a different app to view them is another story.
If you could convert as easily as you seem to think then why haven't you done it yet. You keep posting links that you think will make it possible but they aren't working for you yet, are they? Hmm...I wonder why? Maybe because it can't be done the way you are trying?
If you want your messages restored then try to do it with the Textra app....you know....where they actually came from to begin with...the app that is already capable of reading them? Do it the way its guaranteed to work instead of trying something that could potentially corrupt your device AND possibly corrupt the messages you are trying to recover, if you corrupt them in the attempt then they'll be gone for good and you will have wasted your time. I'm just saying go with what already works.
The second link in your post above me has numerous posts from users that keep saying that textra messages are tied to textra and can't be imported. The developer of Textra even states that it doesn't work. I'm sure the guy that created the app would know infinitely more about it than you do.
Give it up, you aren't gonna get those messages in a different text app. It just isn't going to work. You are not the first to have tried it.
Just take it as a lesson learned and move on, just keep this as a reminder to backup what you want to keep before flashing over it. Use SMS backup to backup/restore your Textra messages.

Chill out man,this is a helping community not a church, i need some help to get rid of textra but i needed my messages and i just asked from my freinds in xda to helping me,the guy who wrote that script its not around xda to answer my question.
Search it on google,you will find that can be done by having a right table,but i dont know what table i should use.
you think you know it all? It is doable to convert it by just a script but i cant do it because i dont have that knowledge,it seem you dont have it to,i simply asked to know what should i do,is asking wrong? so go then please i dont need someone that knows less than me..thank you

The evidence says no it won't work. I don't know everything but I'm sure the developers of Textra would know better than either one of us. That's all I really said, not in so many words but that was the point.

I dont say you are wrong, they say that, because there is no official way to do it, i need some developer's guide,if you know about somthing that i can learn from it just show me.
The developers of textra dont want to us leaving their app that because they design it this way to have a seprate database from android official messaging storage, but i want freedom,not to be chained to one app.. And Thank you for your answer

So i done it, i searched alot(almost 1 week),read alot and at the end i learned to do it,i converted textra database to xml,and restored it to android stock messaging app and deleted textra app for ever. I just want to say next time try to help somebody, don't disappoint them, and do not say anything unless you know it all because nobody here on xda ask for wrong direction! Soon i will make a complete tutorial and post it in gerenal section.
Please do. I'm sure lot of people will be interested including me as I'm gonna try Textra for the first time. Before switching from stock messaging, I wanted to know if I can roll back easily and I ended up here and here : Textra... Beware!, and the confirmation from the developper here : How to get textra messages to appear in stock sms?. It seems it's not so easy by design.
So definetely I'll be interested in your tutorial.

I wouldn't hold your breath. I think he is full of bunk, personally. You don't come in here saying "I DID IT!" without a hint of how you did it, then say "I'll post how soon".
If he gave general steps, then someone could work with that. How hard would it be to type 3 or 4 more sentences? I'll believe it when I see it, which I'm not sure I will.
almost makes makes me want to download it to see for myself.
