I recently formatted my HD7 and forgot to back up some programs. A while ago while browsing the web I found a .xda file which enabled me to set my custom ring tones (ones used for calls) as SMS tones. I simply used a program called yourang to create my custom ringtones then I was able to set them as either SMS tones or call tones. Unfortunately I cannot remember where I found this and hope someone here can help!
Thanks in advance

Hi.
I am a System Admin, as well as a member of a Rural Fire Brigade.
I need a way so that I can differenciate between different sources of SMS..
i.e. One contact is for missed pings to the servers - low priority, another is for servers down - higher priority, call out for the brigade - high priority and loud wake up tone
can anyone give me some advice on how to do this. I know I can do different ring tones for mobile calls but what about SMS contacts etc.
Many thanks for any help
Dave
I´ll need the same thing...
Once I used to have a sms chat software, but it corrupted messages often so I discontinued using it, I thing it was vito, but don´t remember
Well.. I don't know of any free solution for this.. but Electricpocket Ringo does this job very well.. it allows u to assing custom sms/ringtone to individual contacts and groups. No individual mms tone though..
maybe also magiccall will do what you are looking for
hey all~
i asked basically the same question recently. i was directed tot he freebie mortring, after fiddleing a lil (to make my own sounds work) i got it working pretty well

hey all~
so i found what, in my opinion, is the best FREE text message (and call) custom tones program....
its called oist (google it as i don't have the link handy) and it allows you to set custom tones (wav format only) for:
calls
texts from unknown senders
texts from everyone
texts from specific numbers
sent text message tones
it can also forward sent notifications to another number
anyhows i tested a few different ones and this seems to work best!
~j
Still playing around with it, but I think oist will work.
Now I just have to make WAV files for everyone.
I found this also but does not work on my wm6.5 touch pro... I have version 1.4
am I doing something wrong?
Hi,
So I don't know how many of you guys are annoyed by I am pretty annoyed by not having custom text ringtones. Microsoft FINALLY put custom ringtones but they left out for text. I text a lot more than I am on phone so I am wondering if theres any way to add custom ringtones for txt. Maybe way to go into registry and change the tone itself but leave the name of it as it is perhaps? Hope someone got an answer for it
Thanks,
Kamal

SMS tone is set within the messaging app itself.
Open messages, select settings>notifications where you can set what you like.

If your phone is rooted copy the custom tone to the System/Media/Audio/Notifications folder.
If not rooted see if you have a Ringtones folder on your sdcard and if so copy the tone there and see if it then appears in the notifications list.
Either way may require a reboot before it appears.

If it's a song, can you do it from the Music player by selecting Set as ringtone in settings?
Go to the song you like in music player and press settings and "set as ringtone"

Create a folder called "Notifications" in the same place your Ringtones folder is on your internal SD card. That should take care of it.

This sent me round in circles for a while but there's a really simple solution.
Creating an appropriate Notifications folder as suggested elsewhere is a good idea, then find the mp3 (for example if you've added it to the phone) in ES File Explorer, open the file you'd like (with the ES audio player), then tap the options button (3 dots along the title bar), and from there you can "Set ringtone" - you can choose to set it as ringtone (calls), notification (messages) or alarm.

THANK YOU! http://forum.xda-developers.com/ima...um.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/good.gif
You could go to play store and download Ringo or Ringo pro.
You can customise a ring tone and a notification tone for every person in your phone book.

Constantly ring and vibrate your phone when SMS is received
The walk-around is to make the phone constantly ring and vibrate when an important message is received. I developed an app
that can ring the phone, like a normal phone call, when an important contact messages you.
Try it out to see if it works for you: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.textcall.app
Hey, my phone wasn't able to that as well but since I have a rooted phone, I can do pretty much everything that my phone doesn't handle and if you have a rooted phone you will be able to do this. Just install Root Explorer (if you don't find it in the play store just search on Google: Root Explorer apk) and download it. Now go to right section that says Storage and go to the directory where your mp3 ringtone file is. Copy or cut it and now go to System/media/audio/notifications and just paste it there! With the normal File Manager that it's in your phone won't work, so rooted phones really help!
Hey guys,
Just wondering if anyone can please explain how to set an mp3 or any other custom audio file as the notification/sms alert tone?
Also... Is it possible to set custom SMS tones for each contact (in addition to the custom ringtone)?
Thanks for any help.

There are folders already on the phone for ringtones and you can set them via settings/sound/ringtone .. They show up there, at least they show fine for me.

What file format have you had success with? Any limit to file size or track length?

I use mp3, 320 kbps and the ones I use are about 30 seconds long, I have no idea though what other formats it recognises, or lengths ... Only my own experiences
Aweome, thanks for the help AllAboutTheCore, for some reason I could not get it to work at all last night, but I just tried again now and.. success.
Thanks again.
If you make a folder called Media and inside of it you place Notifications, Ringtones, Alarms, you will keep them apart. Male sure to initialize a Media rescan or reboot to get them to show in the system picker.

Hi altimax98,
Thanks for the reply. Currently I do have those folders (Alarms, Notifications, Ringtones) but they are all in the /sdcard/ directory. If I move those 3 folders into a "Media" folder... will the phone still be able to see them?
Thanks a lot for your help.

Once you've done this, the tone will show up in the ringtones and message alert tones list to choose from in the usual way (settings).
As for individual contact tones, a ringtone can be assigned from the contacts (People) address book, but not SMS tones as far as I know. There's an app, GoSMS that looks good but I haven't used it so couldn't say for sure.
Hope this helps.
