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...

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,
Does anyone know if there is a way to give specific ringtones to your contacts? I couldn't find it in the edit portion of contacts.
Thanks.
the contact has to be stored on the phone in order to set an individual ringtone. an easy workaround is to create another contact with the same name and save it to the phone then link the two.
Thanks. Somewhat annoying and a little more work, but it worked
Just dl ringdroid from the market its a free app.. It will let you make and edit ring tones on the phone the you can assign to contcts... worked flawless for me ..
I'm still waiting for integrated contact/ringtone saving directly to gmail, so I don't have to always retype, or reconnect my ringtones to everyone in my contact list.
I saved one of the contacts to the phone so i could put a rintone on the person but now it displays the person twice 1 for sim and 1 for phone. is there anyway to merge them together so it only shows the name once?
^ you can hide contacts from the contacts app, go to menu and display options and have it only show your google contacts, and not from the phone.
ringo lite free from android market
htown978 I love you! been trying to do this since thanksgiving!!!
THANK YOU!!
On the jl4 release, not sure about any after or before that, 2.2 touchwiz contacts allows you to save custom ringtones for contacts without saving a separate contact.
and yes, that was annoying as hell on 2.1 having to save another contact just to have a custom ringtone.
im new to the world of android and i have a few noob questions that i was looking to get some help with. any help will be greatly appreciated.
1. how do i get custom ringtones for text messages? i can set the ringers for contacts and incoming calls but is there a way to change them for texts?
2. is there any way that i can use google voice on my phone without having to port over my sprint line. i just want to add a second line to my current phone. or does anyone know of a free voice over ip app.
thanks in advance for all help.
To get custom ringtones for text messages, go into your text messaging app, menu, settings, notifications, then notification sound. From there you can change it. If you use an app such as ringdroid, you can create your own ringtones and they will appear in the notification sound menu when you copy the file from /sdcard/media/audio/ringtones to /system/media/audio/notifications, using root explorer, etc., then reboot.
Also, you have to be rooted to access the system files using root explorer.
if you go into the notification setting that way it one gives me the choices from the ringtones that came with the phone. how do i assign rings that i download as i did for incoming calls without rooting my phone.
Hi all, please forgive me if this has been asked before. I could not find any info on it. I am having a problem using custom ringtones on my AT&T SGS2. When I create a ringtone and put it in the media/audio/ringtones folder it shows up in my sound settings fine. When I select a custom made ringtone for my default ringer the phone won't make any sound when someone calls me. Everything else works, I can accept or decline the call, but no sound. The strange part is if I use that same ringtone for an individual contact it will ring fine when that person calls me. It just won't work for a default ringer. Any ideas?
If they're not already created, create two folders on your internal sd card. name one Ringtones and the other Notifications. Then any sound file you drop into them will show up in your lists when you go to change the respective tones.
I have already done that. They show up fine. The problem is that when I select one of the files as the default ringer it won't make any sound. But it rings just fine when set to an individual contact.
Just download ringdroid and make a ringtone from any music files you have on you're phone.....then when your done hit save and set as default. Done!
In your first post you said you put the files in media/audio/ringtones folder. I have heard before that putting them there won't work if you want to use them as tones. The ringtones and notifications folder would have to be in your main directory on the internal (or external) sd card.
I have heard of people dropping sound files into the media folders with no success when they try to use them.
I don't know. maybe I am misunderstanding your problem though.
I was able to get it working with ringdroid, thanks boobie watcher! I just opened the ringtones i already made in ringdroid and then saved them. Works fine now.
Finished setting up my new V10 and I just noticed that all contacts have a main ringtone 'af_failure' which is barely audible. Worse is that I cannot edit the ringtone in each contact for some reason. Contacts are from Google and Exchange, ,and both are affected. Only work around I found is turning on Ringtone ID which selects a different ringtone that I cannot find how to change. The default ringtone in Settings> Sounds is VZW Airwaves (for now at least). Thanks
PS It's my first LG so...
My first LG also. I have no issue editing my contacts ring tone.
Fixed it. I simply had to go in the sounds choose a new ring tone, then select the one I wanted. All contacts now have the default. Kinda weird but as long as it works now
