Is it possible to set specific tone for different apps? I looked pretty much everywhere and did not find anything...
I had same question but it looks like you can only do it if there is an option in the app itself.
There is not an option in the phone itself to choose and app and sound.
Shame as this was possible on Windows 10 and everyone told me Android has more customisation options. Lol

Same here. I think Android is programmed in a way that the stock apps like messaging' and voice call 'app' would light up the screen and all the third party apps like you mentioned would just ring or vibrate and not light up the screen.. this is my wild guess though
But there must be some settings, if not a mod to change this..

I'm asking on behalf of a friend, and don't have direct access to the phone to diagnose the problem, so I thought maybe asking here would help. My only information was that their friend was trying to set a custom ringtone (downloaded via Zedge) on their Motorola Atrix (didn't specify whether 4G or HD, I'm only presuming it's a newer phone). However, rather than the ringtone actually playing when someone calls, it just announces the name of the caller instead, with no ringtone otherwise.
Any ideas?
Must have voice read out active or something. My ring tones work fine.

Is there any way you can walk me through how to disable that? I'm sort of doing this long-distance, the person I'm helping is in Texas while I'm in Georgia currently. They're either new to their phone or just new to smartphones in general. Since my only phone is an iPhone currently (and my prior Android was a Captivate), I don't know the ins-and-outs of Motorola's phones. I assumed maybe it was a "drive mode" or something like some of the older phones had.
Aha, I think I found it: "Menu > Call Settings > Caller ID Readout > Ring Only," if I've done my research right. Thanks, though.
I know it's a Jelly Bean issue/feature, but I really miss the ability (coming from an S3) to alter the volume of notifications and ringtones separately. Basically I want to use some sort of app to turn on quiet times where I can still get ringing on calls, but messages emails ect do not make a sound. Is there a ROM or app available to get this to work? If not I guess I set notification sound to NONE 24x7
Try Llama in the Play Store.

+1 on this.....
I actually use llama and was configuring today, but it gave me an error noting the inability to separate ringtone and notification volume. Is there a solution to this?
To note, it's not a JB thing...my co worker's S4 can easily separate it.
I use this one https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=Orion.Soft works for me (free version
Or this one https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=opotech.finevolumev2 but you have to paid for it.
I'm a new Note 8 owner/user. I've been searching high and low, and the majority of my search results lead here to XDA, but still left me looking for a solution, so naturally I made an account.
I'm trying to get multiple alert tones to work. I know about making the Notifications folder, or moving downloaded alert/ringtones to the existing Notifications folder so they can be set using the Settings>Notification Sounds option. My problem is that I can only change the "Default Notification Sound", "Message Notifications" and "Calendar Notifications". That I can do without issue.
I'd like to be able to change notifications for specific apps, i.e. GMail, when I get a new e-mail would have a different notification vice a Facebook alert.
If this has already been answered elsewhere and my Google-fu isn't up to snuff, could someone kindly point me in the right direction, or possibly show me a guide to get this accomplished? I'd be greatly appreciative.
I use macrodroid paid to sound specific sounds for any event of interest to me, so I know without looking what is exactly happening in my phone, I find it very useful, it is way more easy to use than tasker

So I take it this isn't something that can be done natively through the device itself?

Yes, not many options, as I have used macrodroid for long, I find it easier to do it this way, besides macrodroid can accomplish many other useful things

Just downloaded it, gonna give it a whirl and see how it goes. Thanks for the tip.

Be advised that, free version only allows 5 macros, paid one has no limitation, do not forget to exclude macrodoid from batt optimization, put it in the unmonitored section
most apps with audible notifications have an option in their own settings screen to set an alternative sound.
with gmail you can even set different sounds for different email accounts.

Where is that located at? I can't seem to find that feature in Gmail, only account syncing and the like. Nothing regarding notifications.

Macrodroid is king. Tasker to outdated and not user friendly. Developer of macro pretty cool guy and very helpful. I love how you can download tons of user submitted tasks.
I've been a android messages user for a while now, but since emui 8 on my p20 pro, I've not been able to set customizable notifications for different contacts. Thought it would work the way as Gmail app, but no luck. I'm using 3rd party app for the moment (TEXTRA), but I don't like it. Anyone have any answers?

Does Android messages do the same thing on other phones?
Yeah it does, I've used it since my P8, and my wife uses it on her P10. Checked again yesterday, can change notifications to whatever she wants. Its like they made it the same as their old sms app.
For some reason huawei has removed this option from android messages. One of many unexplained software decisions with emui

google made this rules
as new Google rule all messaging should happen via Google messaging app only
Wasn't Google, had a chat with the other week. They have no control of what Huawei did. And Huawei just said sorry, I'll ask our Devs team to look into it but they are looking into 9 pie, so they may never fix it.

which is fine, but it still does not answer why you can customize notifications in the google messaging app on any other phone, but not on huawei.

So many poor choices made by Huawei with respect to EMUI!
See this thread on how to access the Settings necessary to customize the notifications for all apps including Android Messages. It works great!

Tried it and it took me to the App Notifications Setting screen - selecting Messages does not show any settings to change the notification tone.
You should see an entry called Other notifications, click on that (the text not the toggle button and you will then be able to set the Sound and other options.

Actually, the entry is called "Default" in my case but the rest of your instructions are perfect.
