[Q] How can I assign an alert tone to a single contact? - Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)

Is this possible? Even if I had to create a custom group for the person I found how to do that, but nothing I've seen lets me assign the alert tone. I have the option of assigning a custom ringtone and custom vibrate...seems like I'm missing something here?

I'm not sure if the stock messaging app allows you to do that but it cant be done via editing the contact. You can do it via GoSMS Pro though
via Galaxy S III

You could try a app called tone picker it worked for me.

Custom Individual SMS Tones?

I know how to set custom ringtones for voice calls but can it be done for individual txt tones?
Ringo Pro (available on market) will let you set individual tones for each contact.

Thank you. I will look for it.
You don't need the Pro version Ringo Lite will let you set custom notification tones on a per contact basis.
Edit: Handcent SMS also lets you set custom notification tones.

[Q] Whatsapp messages on lockscreen

Hi all,
is it possible to display new whatsapp messages directly on lockscreen? (like on ios? Display lights up if new message comes in and i can read message directly on lockscreen, thats what I want.
Bought some apps but nothing works fine :-(
Sorry for my poor Englisch...
For directly showing message on lock screen it depends on the ROM I think.
Is there any rom for my desire hd available?
I am using virtous quattro with ics at the moment.
You need to post this there.. I don't have desire. So, can't say.
I think widget locker is what you need. I use handcent for sms, and it gets through the lockscreen just like you describe.

The lockscreen code is either part of the framework.jar or the systemui... and if the device is not rooted, you cannot change it.
If you are a programmer, what you could try is to create a new window (for example with the WindowManagerImpl hidden class) trying different window types: window types define the layer where the window will be placed. For some window types you might need some special permission (for example I think TYPE_SYSTEM_OVERLAY will be placed above lockscreen, and it needs the SYSTEM_DIALOG permission)
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Currently there isn't an (lockscreen-)app that allows that. If you are a programmer you can always try to make it yourself, like mentioned above. But be warned, it's going to be a hell to create it
I´m not a Android programme
There is an option in the settings of whatsapp "turn on the pop up messages" check that box n u are good to go
i know this option, but it´s still behind the lockscreen...
Hey guys!!
This pop-up message, allows you to answer the message even with the lock screen. I think it's a lack of security because anyone can answer it if you forget your phone somewhere.
I've already try to talk with the developers of Whatsapp, but with no success.
On iphone you can only read and unlock to answer.
That's right, the popup feature when set to 'always' or 'only when screen off' shows messages and I think even allows replying from the lockscreen. You can't go view the full convo without unlocking though. This is the way it works at least in the latest beta from http://www.whatsapp.com/android/

[Q] How to change notification ringtones

Hi, is there any way how to add my own notification rigtones (not phone ringtones)? I would like to change existing notif. tones (too short and silent to me) for new ones (for ex. music etc.). Is it possible if I dont have rooted phone?
Samsung Galaxy SII
Thx for advice.
Yes you can also this has been covered many time in the past.
Make a folder on sdcard called Notifications. Insert appropriate audio files into folder. Select notification tone in normal way. I think Ringtones and Alarms works too, I'm not too sure. I find there is a delay when using custom tones in that fashion, so I just whack 'em in /system/media

[Q] System Sounds?

Ok, has anyone been able to figure out how to change the notification sound of the built in Email client? (Not Gmail). It's an annoying bell and I see no option anywhere to change it. I've been through the system settings AND through the email settings -- maybe I am missing something.
Also, is there a way to change the water sounds to the regular Android sounds?
Thanks in advance!!
Not sure about email client but to change to android sounds u need to root.
Extract ringtones u want from a different Rom...ie an S2 ics Rom for example.
Then use root explorer to place new tones in /system/media/audio/ringtones.
Reboot and the new tones should show up in settings for u to select. .
Hope this helps.

Mine show up under the email settings...
Open the e-mail>>settings>> select the email address that you have added... scroll to the bottom... Notification settings...
This is a per e-mail account setting so they are "hidden" under each attached account

Thanks! I'm already rooted, but there is no option to change touch tone sounds, even if I added more to the directory.

So basically it's just like the Gmail settings then? Cool. Thanks.
Found them, they are all in the UI directory. One controls touch, one is for back, etc. They all have to be changed in order to get rid of the 'water' sounds.
It's called: /system/media/audio/ui/
The two files I have found so far are:
TWTouch.ogg
S_HW_Touch.ogg
Now if I could just find the standard Android touch tones somewhere.

[Q] Notification sounds

Is there an app out there that allows me to attach different notification sounds for different types of notifcation. For example, I want it to play a different sound for email than it does for SMS.
I've had a look at Tasker in the sticky but it looks to complicated for a complete NOOB like me.
I've done a search in this forum but couldn't easily find anything that helped.
I'm running unrooted 4.2.2.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Hi there man,
all you need to do is set the notification from the app itself.
for example gmail: go to settings>[email protected]>notification and change to whatever you'd like.
If you wanna add different types of notifications you can either use an app from playstore like "zedge" or copy to your device in the path: /sdcard/notifications

Cheers, I'll try that
You might try the app Light Flow. In addition to changing led lights it can also change the sound notifications of apps. It's available in Google Play and the paid version has the notification sounds manager.
