How to pick custom sms ringtone
- Thread starter taxas
- Start date
SMS tone is set within the messaging app itself.
Open messages, select settings>notifications where you can set what you like.
i still cant pick a custom one mate, only the ones that are already in that list.
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.
yeah but it still doesn't show up when i add it there and i rebooted :/
I tried to add the file to the folder where the other ringtones where but it requires root
well thats the phone ringtone i'm talking about the text message one not the one that i play when somebody calls me. I want the one that play's when i recieve a text message
Create a folder called "Notifications" in the same place your Ringtones folder is on your internal SD card. That should take care of it.
Custom SMS tone
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.

Use go sms pro that's the only way I've found to set individual contact sms mms ringtones but with 4.2.2 I'm not sure It works worked with 4.1.1 I'm using viperDNA sense 5 Rom which is ported from the htc one and won't me select the system ringtone to set the individual ringtone

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!
