How to set custom SMS tone in CM7? - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Not the notification tone, the sms tone.
In froyo you could hit the menu button within the sms app and it would have a "settings" option in which you could set a custom sms tone separate from the notification or ringtone. The option is not available in CM7.
Any help?

If you go into settings in the messaging app and change the notification sound there it only applies to the sms app.

Set up personal sms tone

Hi Guys,
I have been using Ringdroid for a while now...this app is real good. I have added my personal ringtones to my contacts and notifications.
Everything is working except sms tone. Everytime i get a sms same system alert plays. Have i done something wrong? What setting do you have to change to put your own sms tone??
Thanks for help
Go to messages - menu - settings - change it there, the sms tone is different to the notification tone.
Thanks alot...It is not long time since i had my first android phone...so still trying to catch up!!

Double SMS notifications...aarrrrghhh!!!!

Hello guys!
I installed Handcent sms and even I stopped default sms notification and forced stop to the default client itself, I still receive two sms notifications on status bar. Had to disable the one notification supported by Handcent and now is only the default one on which when I click- the Handcent client appears. Once I quit from Handcent, the icon is still on status bar, altough I've read the sms and have to close it via "close notifications" button...very annoying..
How to get rid the default sms notification?
Open "Messages"
Click MENU
Select SETUP
Uncheck "Notifications" - scroll down
Enable HANDCENT notification
You should now get only 1 notification

That was exactly what I did and still get two notifications..
Go to settings >apps >manage apps> messages > force stop!
Go into the default Messages app and make sure to disable Auto-retrieve (this will also help improve battery life)

can I set a custom ringtone for text messages

ok my first Atrix I could do it. I can not find where to do it. It is only showing my the regular tones. What am I missing? Where can I put a custom ringtone for text message. I am using the standard text with the phone.
Thanks

Here's how I do it:
Install GO SMS
Set the default notification sound in Settings (Android NOT GO SMS) which will be your email notification sound now.
Turn off notifications in the stock Text Message app
In GO SMS set the notification sound to whatever you like.
This way you have one sound for email and another for text messages.

Vibrate options missing for mail and sms?

Just got a SGS II and when I'm at work I keep the phone in vibrate mode but there are no vibrate options for SMS and the Gmail app...
If I go into messaging settings the only "Notification settings" are:
Notifications - display message notification in status bar
&
Select ringtone
Same idea for Gmail app.... what am I missing here?
It's through Bell and the only modification I have done was add gingerbread keyboard... no rooting/custom roms or anything.
I searched and can't find this problem anywhere.
You have to select 'Vibration- always' option under Settings- Sound for SMS vibration.
In GMail app go to More- Settings- Account settings- Select your a/c- Notification settings- Labels to Notify- Inbox- Vibrate- and change as per your need.
Regards.

I just found the setting for gmail thanks to you but the sms I cannot find so I still can't get sms to vibrate

Handcent Notifications

I'm having trouble with Handcent and notifications - namely double notifications with the stock Messaging app (even when everything is checked off in the ATT app) and then the Handcent app can't wake the phone, just makes the alert sound, of which there's two separate notice sounds.
ALSO, no red dot notification on the HC widget using Go Launcher EX with Go Notification installed. Any ideas?
just go into the stock messaging app and turn off notifications...... i had to do it, and had to do it with gosms.
yes.. go into default messaging text app click menu,,scroll to bottom and disable notifications......then in handcent click menu>Applications setting> Default Messaging application >Allow All Sms & Mms ,for default..
