Cant change Notification Tone sound in Whatsapp - Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers

I want to do a simple thing - change the notification tone in Whatsapp to be different than the system default tone.
I go to Whatsapp settings and tap the notification tone, I select 'audio files' to view system tones but I get an empty list.
Im with Miui 10.2.3 official global version and all Whatapp permissions are enabled.
It is really frustrating as I see no documentation for this anywhere and saw no one that complains about it but me. Found no similar thread anywhere.
Any thoughts?

You can complete the action using File Manager and select whatever the Audio File you want.
I'm not sure but one of these extensions should work .Mp3 .M4a .Ogg

Using File Manager didnt work.
Found out the solution is completing the action using 'Themes'. As weird as it sounds....
Thanks anyway

How did you change the notification sound using 'Themes'? I'd really appreciate you taking me though this, it's been driving me crazy for ages!

You go to Whatsapp Settings > Notifications > Hit 'Notification Tone' (either under Messages or Groups section) > Select 'Themes' when asked to 'Complete The Action Using'.
Let me know if that helped you or not

I had the same issue and it has nothing to do with updating to latest MIUI version. If you have already updated all your system apps, then just uninstall updates of the "Themes" app and the issue will be solved. Apparently the issue is caused by the new update of "themes" app.

As I mentioned above - Themes was the solution, not the problem I mean, I didnt realize at first that the notification tones are accessible via Themes.

"Setting icon failed! Is your SD mounted?" when trying to set custom lockscreen icon
i'm trying to use the custom lockscreen icons found here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1690530) to replace the play music default icon on my 4-slot lockscreen within AOKP (latest nightly: 7/1/2012). every time i try to set ANY icon from this package, it tells me the error in the subject line of this thread, and i can't for the life of me find any solution online about this issue and how to fix it. can someone please make my night and tell me why i can't just make my lockscreen beautiful? thanks in advance!
I was getting that also. when I was prompted to select a program to select the icon, I would choose root explorer. when I chose gallery, I didn't get the error. don't know if it'll work for you, but it did for me

Google Play Music Listen Later

What does this module do?
This module allows you to change the default Google Play Music pane and tabs. For example, make the "My Library" screen the default and have it open to "Songs" instead of "Artists."
Originally requested here: http://www.reddit.com/r/xposed/comments/260ftg/request_google_play_music_open_to_my_library/
Reddit thread: http://www.reddit.com/r/xposed/comments/26480m/release_google_play_music_listen_later/
Requirements:
Xposed Framework (XposedBridge.jar v54 or higher.)
Source code:
https://github.com/GermainZ/Google-Play-Music-Listen-Later
Download:
http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.germainz.gmusiclistenlater
Feature Requests:
If they fall within the scope of this module (see first paragraph; basically: customize defaults,) requests are welcome. Other requests will be ignored if asked here, please use the appropriate thread for that.
Changelog:
1.2: Added option to automatically open a playlist when you enter the "Playlists" pane. This can be used to have Play Music open your preferred playlist on launch, by setting "Default Pane" to "Playlists" and "Default playlist" to your playlist's name (case sensitive).
1.1: Add options to select default tab for Instant Mixes, Radio and Explore panes.
1.0: Initial release.

Thanks:
rovo89 for the Xposed Framework.
This is great! I was always annoyed that it didn't open to My Library by default. Love all your modules and your stylish theme for XDA. Thanks!

Can you add a theme feature? Thanks for all the hard work!!

Thanks for this. Would it be possible to also add the option to open to the Playlists pane?

No, that would belong in a theme (that could perhaps be used with one of the Xposed alternative theme engines) or maybe a separate module, but not in this module IMO.

It's already there. Open the module's preferences and select whatever screen you want.

My bad, I installed it and did not activate it yet. I had just figured that wasn't an option yet, was going to wait and after re-reading I feel stupid.
You might consider moving all the options to the main page. The "hide icon" feature doesn't really belong in the"about"page, and there's plenty of room for your credits there, too.
Brilliant!
Option to upload music to play music would be awesome if possible

Nope. Out of scope/probably a server side change.
No changes after a an other setting. Do i have to reboot?

A reboot isn't required, but this module changes the default pane/tabs, so you need to exit the Google Play Music app and open it again to see the changes.
If that doesn't help, please explain your problem in more details.
Option to set song as a ringtone would be Grrreeeeat.
Using it.
Thanks

Everything i do in the module, there is always the startscreen "jetzt anhören" in gplay. Even after killimg the app and rebooting.
I'm having the same Problem, changes won't apply. I think it has something to do with updating your Rom. I flashed a newer Nightly yesterday and had to install Xposed Bridge again naturally (without changing anything regarding the Modules).
Maybe this messes something up.

Do this, please:
Open the Xposed Installer > Logs > Clear now.
Reboot.
Open Google Play Music.
Open the Xposed Installed > Logs > Share.
Paste the logs here between [CODE] [/CODE] tags.
Here you go

I see no errors at all…
Let's try this:
1- Open Google Play Music Listen Later.
2- Select "My Library" in "Default Pane" and "Songs" in "Default My Library tab."
3- Open Google Play Music, take a screenshot without doing anything else and post that here.
Well, that did the Trick, i switched both to your suggested Settings and after Killing Play Music once it seems to stick. I definitely tried this before, but only changing the Default Pane.

Quick Circle: How to remove "Settings, Music, Download More"

So, I've been using the quick circle case. I like it, but I have to scroll through those bs apps to get to what i need. I'll never use them (I don't use stock music player, and settings and download more open up inside the phone, stop no point), but I can't deselect them from the circle apps. My phone is rooted, is there a way to remove/deselect them from my quick circle?
As I know, those are the default apps that are not allowed to deselect.
Too bad. To be honest I would be more than happy to remove most of default ones as Im using difrent apps.
I wonder is there any custom app that can handle quickciecle ?
I got rid of music by disabling, camera would be the same, don't know about settings and the download more sorry.

How to use custom notification sounds to the LG V30?

How do I add and use custom notification sounds to the LG V30. I don't like any of the stock notification sounds. Thanks
Try this, for the notification sound, place the sound in /sdcard/Notifications (create new folder if it not exist). For ringtones, in /sdcard/Ringtones.
Hope it works, cause it works in mine.
Thanks

Did you reboot? Mine didn't recognize the new tone (for an alarm) until I rebooted the phone.
Perhaps rebooting is necessary for the OS to scan and repopulate the media. If it works you dont have to install 3rd party app, since android should already give you this basic feature. Screenshot of mine attached.

MIUI 11 9.9.24 Beta Install Feedback

Yesterday I installed MIUI 11 9.9.24 Beta ROM on my India K20 Pro phone. Below are my observations and feedback.
I was on MIUI 10 10.3.5 India ROM.
Installed Beta MIUI 11 by wiping Data, System, Cache. It is smooth overall and I find display better(it may be due to new font, don't know)
Observations:
1. Fonts are really good.
2. System Launcher is bit off. Swiping up opens up their own Media Center thing. (May be due to one of the launcher layout I selected while initial setup). Installed Poco Launcher, but it blacks out sometimes when going Home from an app. However it fixes once you perform recent app gesture and then back.
3. Downloaded 0.5 MB Google related chinese file from GetApps which install Google Services. Installed, but later while installing other Google stuff from inside that downloaded app, Google Framework failed to install.
4. Downloaded Google Play Store from GetApps. The installed all the apps.
5. Main issue was with Google Contact sync which was fixed by first installing Contact Sync 10 and then contacts. Opened app properties and given all the permissions. Restarted, it started working. May not work initially, but started working somehow.
6. Speaker sound is now better. It was very loud and uncomfortable earlier, but now it is much better.
7. Lockscreen notifications can now be expanded to read the content(which was not possible earlier)
8. System Wide Dark mode doesn't work all the times for non System apps.
9. Ambient Display has so many new options.
10. Samsung Routine like Tasks where you can schedule different system settings. Like lower down brightness to 0% between a time frame, etc.
11. Double tap to sleep doesn't work. Although double tap to wake works.
Overall it can be used as daily driver and I am loving it...
Great Explanation. Seems like a good build for a beta.
Can you do 1 thing for me?
I always wondered what are the new options for NEW Notifications when screen locked. Does it lit only the notification content like in pure andoird, or some other useless animations?
Can you post some screenshots of those options and feedback?
Thanks!
You can disable there media search when swiping up in the settings , I had the same issues as you with not all the Google frame work service not installing mainly contact sync , but overall miui 11 not to bad.
Hello, I'm on xiaomi.eu 10.4.6 and when i try to install the 9.9.24 miui 11 get an error zip treble could not fetch or install. I've whipped everything and tried 3 times but with the same result. I have rafael. Any advice?

Unzip the file, delete Compatibility zip(not sure whether I am spelling the name correct), then rezip and flash.

Actually I am using Ambient display, there it just put a small icon below clock with notification sound. Once I click on the icon, it go back to lock screen where I can expand that notification to read the content. You can also have different fancy screen glow animations when notification comes with Ambient Display
Will update you about your query in a while
Did u manage to get the ambient display notification working (the fancy glowing animation)? Coz i didn't even after enabling it.
Another thing issue is with app like WhatsApp being killed in background even after setting it as no restriction on battery saving and autostart app. U end up not getting any notification at all unless u open the app itself.

While on Ambient Display, icon appears below the clock with notification sound.(not sure if you are expecting more than this).
Whatsapp notifications are ok for me...Battery Saver set to MIUI Battery Saver...May be I am not using much apps or the apps which are consuming more battery in the background. That way Battery Saver doesn't come into picture I guess.
Seems like Working great.But ther was a problem with Gcam and Other applications like viper4andriod were not working properly in 10.4.8 which is based on Q . Can you do me a favour can u check whether those apps are working properly and give me a reply
The icon appear as usual for the ambient display. MIUI 11 suppose to add animation feature for ambient display upon new incoming notifications to rectify the issue of K20 Pro design having hidden led notification on the top of the phone. This is the one that im referring to as not working
Ive attached pic of the animation which i meant
thanks man for review and testing....one question, how about 75hz screen refresh rate mod? thanks bro
can I use it as a daily driver?
